on news site vice the mayor in the louisiana city of kenner has banned the purchase of nike goods in the city's gyms and sport centres, after nfl star colin kaepernick became a face for the brand. kaepernick ignited political debate after taking a knee during the national anthem. and finally the front page the guardian, one of england's greatest cricketers, alastair cook, signs off from his record—breaking international career. what an ending to him. we will talk about him in a moment. joseph is back. joseph sternberg, a columnist at the wall streetjournal. the financial times and many others as well. a picture of the historic meeting earlier this year in

singapore where donald trump shook hands with kim jong—un. i singapore where donald trump shook hands with kimjong—un. i remember it well. we were all rigour of a briefing. it was happening in our time. many are talking about them coming to watch. —— we were talking about it here on the briefing. second meeting is a good idea. it is important to establish a dramatic contact. the question is what we saw from the first meeting. i think that really the summit was dogged by questions about what the leaders have actually agreed. then there is also the question of what has been verifiable progress on some of the sticking points since then. the summit asa sticking points since then. the summit as a carrot is great... the financial times talks about that mate you know, the lack of progress since thatjune mate you know, the lack of progress since that june meeting mate you know, the lack of progress since thatjune meeting in terms of the neutralisation in particular, because that's what the us wants to see and the international community

wa nts see and the international community wants see. and yet we have seen very little. i think it is so important in this kind of circumstance that the diplomacy amounts to something other than just having diplomacy. the diplomacy amounts to something other thanjust having diplomacy. i think it will notjust the success in terms of the number of meetings, but what the outcomes are, and how that improves the security situation on the peninsula. that is great if they are prepared to hold open the doorfor a meeting in the they are prepared to hold open the door for a meeting in the future. they are prepared to hold open the doorfor a meeting in the future. i would hope that a condition of the second summit would be definable progress on the first. donald trump's to bonus is different to anything else with experience. do you think that they would invite him to the white house? again, it is unconventional, so i will not rule anything out. it will have its pluses, because you can break free of some of the logjams and problems in these situations for a long time.

but the downside, and especially a danger of the kind of diplomacy that donald trump seems to want to do here is that you are hostage to the attention span of the leaders involved and their ability to actually hammer out a very detailed agreement. we ran into that problem in singapore. movie they would do better in a second summit. we will watch this space. but at this moment, no detail about a date, place, or anything like that. we just know that the president has received a very warm letter from the north korean leader. so let us talk about diplomacy, now, and brexit. it isa about diplomacy, now, and brexit. it is a daily discussion on this programme, it would seem, at the moment. this is the metro, but everybody has this story in the uk, the press, including the bbc. the brexit deal isjust the press, including the bbc. the brexit deal is just six to eight weeks away, according to michel barnier. what you think? my understanding is that if the two

sides want to, they could publish a deal in 6—8 weeks. i am not sure that he is actually promising that that he is actually promising that that will happen. my main thought is so much of the problem is on the uk side, and the difficulty of the ukip little system and the parties, particularly the leadership at the moment. the problem is figure out what they want to ask michel barnier to give them, and how realistic sum of those requests are. this article talks about brussels in theresa may a lifeline at a time when it is extremely tricky for her within her own party, as you have mentioned. but interesting that yesterday, though, some of those brexiteers within the tory party, iain duncan smith being one, actually said when igo to, smith being one, actually said when i go to, with an alternative proposal, which is a view that we we re proposal, which is a view that we were expecting from them, an alternative to what has been described as the chequers agreement, that they are not happy with at all.

i think they have an obligation to britain to come up with that alternate proposal if they think that the chequers agreement that theresa may is offering is the rotorua and that they claim it is. if you want to be a responsible public servant, you have another edition to your voters to offer an alternative to that. this sniping from the sidelines is really entertaining to watch, but i do not think it is helpful as a governing idea. you think we will hit these deadlines, 6—8 weeks, so the eu can ask national governors to discuss it, etc, and we live at the end of march next year. will we hit these timelines? my sense is that it is within britain's power to determine if that happens. there has been a conceit in the uk that the sticking point was alleged to be on the eu side. my sense is that they desperately want to do the deal if they can get work from london about

what deal britain wants. let's talk about penny hughes, who has been appointed as the chair of aston martin. this is seen as quite a historic move echoes if, when aston martin does float on the stock market, in london, it does make it into the ftse 100, she will be market, in london, it does make it into the ftse100, she will be just one of the few executive chairs on the board of the company. she has a long cd. she has been involved with a lot of big companies, including rbs, coca—cola, morrisons, for example. —— cv. give us your take. judy make the big story with aston martin is that they are trained to reconfigure their board and management in a bit more business oriented way to avoid repeating a lot of business mistakes that they have made earlier in their history. from that perspective, i think that the appointment of the first in a chair is significant because it

shows that they actually, that companies are now no longer limiting themselves in the way that they used to, look into that kind of executive talent. so i think it is very healthy to have an economy where there are not those kinds of disk and military barriers to companies finding the best management for the shareholders. peterlee will float soon. and annie palmer, the chief executive, he is determined to this to bea executive, he is determined to this to be a great success. we will talk about this in the future. we have picked out the story especially so you garjoseph, because you are from the us. this is a look at the mayor of kenner, which think is in louisiana, by vice, where kids are being banned from wearing nike issues because of this ad campaign. this shows that 90's business strategy here is working. —— nike's.

they knew would be controversial. do i wish that some politicians in america, up to and including a president, would resist the need for once, i think it would be helpful... but doesn't this infringe on people got that right to wear what they wa nt got that right to wear what they want when they want in the united states ? want when they want in the united states? this is an interesting story because ultimately my read on it is that they talk of a private funding. we'll about alastair cook this morning, because he was such a start in the world of cricket. alastair cook, who finally retired yesterday, on his international career. he started his career with a century in his first and last innings with england. he is a star. there is no other way to describe it. right, as an american, i have to admit that

this is not a world i know well. it is nice to have stories like this that are completely outside of the political realm, outside a lot of the business of the economic realms that we talk about how we can just talk about achonwa shouldn't. at a very positive role model in the world of sport, in cricket in england and elsewhere, really. he is a standout sportsmen. right. and i think that notion of sportsmanship, you know, coupled with the competent, this is a great message. it is. think you've been with us joseph, here on the briefing. thank you for your comments. if you want to look at any of the discussion, followed the hashtag #bbcthebriefing. see you soon. hello there. full uk weather forecast coming up injust a moment, but first of all, i thought we'd

cast an eye with what's going on on the other side of the atlantic. you might have heard, we have a major hurricane on our hands. this is hurricane florence, which is a very powerful category 4 hurricane, with sustained winds of 140mph. but it's forecast to strengthen, up to 155mph with 190mph gusts, and that is heading to the east coast of the united states. landfall probably thursday night around north carolina. it's going to cause big, big problems. just to the north of florence, we've got an area of cloud that extends of miles across the atlantic, right over to the united kingdom. yes, it's a massive weather front, or a couple really. it's going to be pushing southwards, bringing some heavy rain. the rain always heaviest across the hills and coasts of north—west england and wales. to the east of higher ground, it's one of those fronts where the rain's probably not going to amount to too much. but nevertheless there will be some damp weather getting into the east of the pennines, for example. given it stays quite windy overnight, temperatures will stay up into double figures. and this massive long weather front marks the dividing line between some coolish air that we've got flowing into northern areas, and air that's come in more from the mid—tropical atlantic

across the south. so a lot of cloud around, but we are going to see the highest temperatures across southern counties of england. now, i wouldn't even rule out an odd spot of drizzle towards the coasts and hills in the south to start the day. but, for many of us, probably a dry start. now, through the day we'll see outbreaks of rain pushing southwards across wales, quite murky through the bristol channel for a time. and there'll be further showers in western scotland as well. temperature—wise, coolish air across the north of the uk, with temperatures between around 13 and 16 celsius. but, further south, well, the temperatures still into the low 20s. 22, 23 degrees, something like that around the london area. now, through tuesday night, we're going to see that weather front have a pulse of energy running along it, and that will push the rain back northwards, back into north—west england, back into the north of wales. that's where it starts the day on wednesday. and then wednesday, the rain will very slowly trickle its way

southwards, where it will become confined to southern counties of england to take us into wednesday afternoon. so it'll stay quite dull and damp across these southern areas, with the rain perhaps even a bit slower to clear than this. and temperature—wise, 16 degrees in london. so those temperatures around seven degrees lower. it is going to be a much colder—feeling day in the south, particularly on wednesday. the rest of the week sees a bit more sunshine in the south, so temperatures do tend to recover, but the north—west will see further showers from time to time. that's your weather. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and dan walker. our headlines today: the health of the nation. a warning that one million more people will have diabetes in 20 years. a major report on policing says budgets cuts are leading to fewer arrests and forces are struggling to cope. residents are told to evacuate as forecasters warn the biggest storm in decades
