of tools" to counter the threat posed by vladimir putin's regime. the picture on front of the ft shows supporters of lgbt rights dancing with joy after india's supreme court decriminalised homosexual acts. the ruling overturns a 2013 judgement that upheld a colonial—era law, known as section 377, under which gay sex is categorised as an "unnatural offence." the huff post online focuses on british airways who say police are investigating the online theft of customer data that compromised around 380,000 payment cards. ba said the stolen data did not include travel or passport details. the independent says bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies are crashing in a sudden and dramatic market collapse. one of the factors potentially contributing to the crash could be

reports investment bank goldman sachs is dropping plans for a cryptocurrency trading desk. and finally, his picture is on the front of guardian and many other news outlets. american actor burt reynolds, the star of such classic films as deliverance, smokey and the bandit and boogie nights, has died at age 82. so let's begin. with me is lawrence gosling, who's editor—in—chief of what investment. let's talk about this story on the front page of the daily telegraph. we heard from the little piece we had five minutes ago, this is quite a coup, isn't it, a diplomatic coup for theresa may to get this international backing? it is, and so much of uk politics at the moment is about brexit and how unpopular her

brexit plan is. here, she almost has unilateral support for the uk government's views on russia. she has the us on russia —— the us on one hand, and all the major european partners supporting her. the daily telegraph now reporting that the head of the uk's secret services is talking about, essentially, retaliation from the uk government. it isa retaliation from the uk government. it is a piece of good political news that the prime minister needs currently. the uk is pushing for new sanctions on russia. there are already pretty stringent controls and sanctions around russia. do you think it is going to be successful in pushing forfurther think it is going to be successful in pushing for further sanctions on russia? it depends on what the uk's government's realistic expectation is. betamax and an alleged to have carried this out have been identified. i don't think anybody realistically think they will be coming back to the uk to be

prosecuted. 0n coming back to the uk to be prosecuted. on that objective, i don't think there is much of. but it is more about an ongoing sort of, or most kind of slightly phoney war with russia, about power. —— almost kind of phoney war. we have seen this with situations about money and assets, russians domiciled in london being put under pressure. i think we will see more of that. for the government, that plays into another agenda they have about clamping down on the uk being seen as a sort of soft tax haven for money coming out of russia. is that legitimate, do you think? i think it absolutely is. in london, there is a huge russian emigre population. a lot of it is very wealthy. some people would sort of argue that there were not sufficiently robust checks on how that money was coming in to london. so it has created a property bubble in certain parts of the london

market. so i think that is a legitimate criticism, yeah. that double does seem to be bursting, actually. the front page of the financial times, a joyous picture on the front page. we are talking of course about this change in the law, the supreme court ruling, that the law that gay sex was illegal was indefensible in the modern era. do you think this reflects a larger societal change in india, or do you think it heralds it? i think it does reflect this sort of fairly rapid pace of change that has been going on in india in the last ten years. it started economically, and clearly narendra modi has been a big driver of that. this is more about the social element of it. this, i would say, has been completely at odds with where india is from a technology perspective. you know, it it is at the forefront of technology, the penetration of mobile phones in india is much higher than many other countries.

this is a colonial sort of law going back to the 1860s, put in by the british. in a way it is great to see the country liberalising, and almost modernising, catching up the rest of the world, in many ways. well, yes, but do you think we will see same—sex marriage legalised in india in our lifetimes? i suspect we will, but it is not immediately around the corner. the indian government has not passed official comment on this ruling yet. let's move on. let's talk about british airways. we have been asking people to get in touch with us about what they think about this data theft and whether or not they feel comfortable about putting their personal financial data online. whether or not people are co mforta ble online. whether or not people are comfortable with it, this is a fact of life, isn't it? these things are happening all the time, not necessarily just that british airways, though they have had problems before. yes, and we kind of wa ke problems before. yes, and we kind of wake up as problems before. yes, and we kind of wake up as consumers problems before. yes, and we kind of wake up as consumers and expect a company that we regularly use, that

we do trust, to be a victim of some kind of hack. the british airways one, i think it covers a two week period up to september five, one, i think it covers a two week period up to septemberfive, and british airways claim they are on top of it. but sadly, we are getting very used to it and we are almost putting up with it nowadays. from to quite another. crypto currencies, something people got very excited about at the start of the year, taxi drivers would ask me whether they should be buying bitcoin. a massive drop in the value of cryptocurrencies. why? why have we seen this sudden market collapse? first of all, there are a lot of them around, and we have seen a lot of people illiquid to invest in them coming into the market. —— ill equipped. there is an argument that says it is a massive asset bubble. people who make money out of it are the ones who get out the quickest, andi the ones who get out the quickest, and i think that is part of it.

clearly now we are seeing the central banks and the government is beginning to think they have to regulate this, have to do something about it, before it sort of gets to fully embedded into the wider financial system. cryptocurrencies have been around for pretty much a decades now, but in the last couple of years, largely driven by the high price, bitcoin got to $19,000 back in december, it draws in ordinary people. it is a classic asset bubble. shouldn't they have been on top of this already? they have been around for ten years and the man on the street can invest them —— invest in them, you can even get them out ofan in them, you can even get them out of an atm in london. absolutely, the core technology, block chain, is very well—established and is being used in a number of major indices. the lloyds insurance market is beginning to use blockchain, and thatis beginning to use blockchain, and that is a well regulated it should be in the broader currency market. lawrence, are you a fan of burt

reynolds? some of his films, absolutely not. others, definitely. his big breakthrough films in the early nineteen seventies, deliverance, that is a great film for which he was nominated for an 0scar. —— 1970s. for which he was nominated for an 0scar. ——1970s. smokey and the bandit, which popularised in, probably not my favourite. he is one of those hollywood legends, that is his picture on the front of the guardian, but absolutely sums up what he was for many people. this is the news we had that he died at the age of 82 from a heart attack in florida. whether or not you enjoyed him, he enjoyed huge box office success and he also did that very successful transition from being an athlete. he was a football player, wasn't it? exactly. into being an actor. and arguably he did that transition better than somebody like, for example, arnold schwarzenegger he went from being a bodybuilder to an actor to a politician. he actually said here, he showed the way to transition and he showed the way to transition and he always inspired him. there we go,

who knew what would have inspired arnold schwarzenegger? there we go. we have some tweaks which have come in on the british airways story. do let us know what you think of that. we have a few coming in right now. what's of people saying, another day, another data breach. —— lots of people saying. 0ther day, another data breach. —— lots of people saying. other people saying that the fax machine was safer for sending documents, and since we have modern day emails, security has got worse. keep those conversations coming on twitter. lots more coming up coming on twitter. lots more coming up throughout the rest of the programme on the briefing, and more in the business news as well. i will see you soon. hello, good morning. the details for this weekend still look a little uncertain. things are more straightforward, though, for friday. a bright and breezy day, a bit of

rain in northern and eastern parts of the uk. for the most part it will be dry. rain is getting closer to that area of low pressure still sitting above the north sea. a weak weather front in the far south—west, just a bit of cloud here. some rain around northern scotland, eastern scotland, the north—east of england and perhaps a bit heading towards the wash, but most of that will head off short through the afternoon. patchy cloud bubbling up elsewhere and a small risk of shower and a small risk of shaolin battled westerly breeze, which will be stronger. cooler across southern parts of the uk but with sunshine further north, temperatures should be higher than today. into the evening, clear skies for most is that cloud melts away. more cloud coming in from the atlantic. this is a major uncertainty, how far north or south this rain will get. it does mean that overnight and into the weekend it will not be quite as

chilly. we have this spell of cloud and rain coming in across england and rain coming in across england and wales. it could affect southern parts of northern ireland and southern scotland for a while. it looks more likely that southern parts of northern england may miss most of not all about rain. the complications arise it is this weather front has various kinks in it. it is a case of how far north or south most of that rain is going to get. 0vernight and into sunday, it is probably going to be more northern parts of the uk that will have the rain. the tenancy through the day, even here, is for most of it to fade away. —— tendency. it may be that temperatures are a little bit higher across england and wales, in particular, may be 2122 degrees. that trend may continue into next week. a strong jet stream propagating across the atlantic early next week. that will pick up areas of low pressure in these weather fronts as well, and drive them our way. looks like it will

mainly be the north and north—west of the uk that will mainly see that rain. 0ne of the uk that will mainly see that rain. one or of the uk that will mainly see that rain. 0ne ortwo of the uk that will mainly see that rain. one or two showers ahead of it but perhaps sunshine as well. a slight continental drift, and those temperatures could get up to 23 or 24 temperatures could get up to 23 or 2a in the south—east. good morning. welcome to breakfast, withjon kay and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: british airways is hacked as the card details of almost 400,000 customers are stolen. we'll hear from some of those affected, and i'll tell you what to do if you think you're one of them. tributes to a hollywood icon. after an acting career spanning six decades, burt reynolds has died at the age of 82. what a start for ryan giggs in his first competitive match as wales manager. they thrash the republic of ireland in the new uefa nations league, with gareth bale amongst the goals in cardiff. and sally speaks exclusively to zara tindall,
