5:45 am
now it's time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world. we start with the metro, and michael gove urging his party to get together and back teresa may, saying mps could always undo the chequers deal once the uk has left the eu. on the front page of the philippine daily inquirer, this picture of a family picking up the pieces after the powerful typhoon destoyed their home in northern luzon. in the gulf news, president trump is set to announce more tariffs on china as early as today. and the ft, jpmorgan is setting up a programme to fund mba studies by its executives and run courses for uk school leavers aspiring to be bankers. and finally, the daily express. millions of britains have been told that taking an asprin every day
5:46 am
could not only be unnecessary, but even damage their health. with me is priya lakhani, from century tech. michael gove, the foreign secretary talking about the fact that it does not worry about the cheque is planned, let's get behind our will lead, get thejob planned, let's get behind our will lead, get the job done and we can unpick it later. —— chequers. lead, get the job done and we can unpick it later. -- chequers. what he wants is his brexit baby delivered, what he doesn't want is a second vote, which is gaining more traction with sadiq khan, saying that he supported that. he cannot afford a leadership contest because it could him or one of his peers, i am not sure if you call them that any more because there is a civil war, who would then be the failure
5:47 am
of brexit. he cannot afford a general election because there are polls suggesting that they would not be in power. he wants this delivered. he is backing the pm. he is saying it is an intriguing comment, the next pm can unpick whatever we decide. obviously he sees himself as the next prime minister. what i find unnerving and uncomfortable is i run a company, a business and business wants certainty. it will be the businesses and entrepreneurs who have to deliver some sort of boost to the economy after all this has happened. let's decide, chequers right now, let's back that, then we might change later. businesses have to basically followed exactly what you are doing and they will not come back to the uk, there will not be a boost of staff, a third of my engineers are european, wouldn't they go and come back and what will happen? we need for them to sort out what the deal is and frankly, anyone
5:48 am
who is opposing chequers right now, please, with a plan is to beat you all sat around the table set. the reason at the moment is because the pm is in an impossible position, where you have such a decisive party, you have eurosceptics, pro— europeans and they are so divided, she is in an impossiblejob. she cannot please both factions of her party. in a sense he is a get on with it but i think there is no two behind this. we want certainty! we have to read between the lines on all of the headlines. this is the front of the metro, michael gove, but if you look at other headlines, we have the papers on the desk, the telegraph has borisjohnson on its front page, which seems to be a regular event at the moment. theresa may telling nick robinson on this programme that she is fed up with a conversation about herjob and her
5:49 am
leadership and the internal wrangling and so many others are, but it is happening and it is u nfortu nately but it is happening and it is unfortunately stalling and having an impact on negotiations. she has been tasked with the most importantjob as far as tasked with the most importantjob as farasi tasked with the most importantjob as far as i can remember in the history of our economy and actually, these are supposed to be the smartest people in the country getting together and deciding our future and yet there is a civil war. labour are spending more time debating anti—semitism when they should be focused on brexit, the fa ct should be focused on brexit, the fact that that even exists is outrageous. they really need to sort themselves out. what we want to see in six months time is a deal that is great for the uk, obviously i am asking for everything for business, but they need to get on with it. boris here and michael gove here, the uk public have had enough and they are not helping their party. this is the situation in the uk, we have got a deal that needs to be presented to the other 27 members. they might have their own internal
5:50 am
fighting in their own party. it could last quite sometime and the deal actually looks different anyway. that is true and it is why it is people spoke is coming up, on the basis final deal is, what brexiteers were promised initially is clearly not going to be delivered. also, europe have, they have to think about also the change in europe and all of these new parties arriving. do they want to back theresa may, who seems more moderate in terms of boris johnson's. it will be interesting to see how this unfold. from my point of view, we want to understand what is happening in terms of our people, our engineers are. we want to understand more detail. this whole, we might change something later, it is very uncomfortable. i understand what he is trying to do. his own
5:51 am
plans are. we shall watch this space and talk about every twist and turn. it is now look at the philippine inquirer. they have been grappling with something absolutely horrific. this typhoon, which has moved and swept through the region in the philippines, a huge landslides following and it is often what happens afterwards that causes huge devastation. as we focus on where it is going next, we know hong kong and mainland china, that it —— the philippines are grappling with landslides that are killing many people. this is what i find interesting from the first story to the second story, we have to deal with natural disasters like this and this is what we have to focus on. yet, we spend so much time debating the issues. this is awful. i cannot even imagine, the chinese authorities are saying it is slipping into china, evacuating 2.5
5:52 am
million people. the logistics are enormous. so unfortunate, they -- -- has been deaths and it will continue to rise. actually, it is surprisingly low. the authorities have done a good job in evacuating people in a dance in certain areas of. the philippines will have to deal with this, hong kong, of. the philippines will have to dealwith this, hong kong, china, and storms in the us as well. it is very sad to see. the gulf news business page has the story we are looking at, moving markets as well, the fact that it is trumpet is pleased to announce a raft of new ta riffs pleased to announce a raft of new tariffs on china. talking about it last week, everybody braced for this 200 un dollars of chinese goods going into the us, things are not improving. this is a story about another $200 billion on chinese imports, saying that the tariff
5:53 am
imports, saying that the tariff imports probably won't go above io%. the last time i was on it was 35%. it is including internet technology products, electronics, circuit boards, chinese seafood. the issue is that this gets passed on to the end consumer, they feel the heat. is that this gets passed on to the end consumer, they feel the heatm he just end consumer, they feel the heatm hejust upping end consumer, they feel the heatm he just upping the anti before the mid—term elections in the united states to show he is being extremely proactive, putting america first and kicking his boxes in terms of the promises he made. i think it is very much and america first policy, this is all about reducing chinese influence in terms of acquiring us technology and ip. but it is not the most popular measure, there is lots of american politicians out there saying that this isn't the right way to go and we should be embracing trade talks. interesting to see how that pans out. do you take notice of
5:54 am
these headlines? danger of a daily aspirin. confusing for those over the age of 70 looking for what to do. many people getting in touch, a the viewers saying that actually i stopped taking notice because the advice changes all of the time. stopped taking notice because the advice changes all of the timelj stopped taking notice because the advice changes all of the time. i am still on the egg yolk, no egg yoke, with cholesterol. this is actually worrying only because over 77 have no health risks very quickly, a p pa re ntly no health risks very quickly, apparently from a of 19,000 people, there is no benefit for taking aspirin every day. actually, there could be risks. for me, aspirin has a lwa ys could be risks. for me, aspirin has always been a great thing to have. you never know. hello.
5:55 am
there is some turbulent weather in the forecast over the next few days and it is mainly down to this area of cloud. it is the remnants of what was hurricane helene, it is no longer a hurricane, but embedded in this is a lot of tropical energy. what that will do is strengthen the winds over the coming days. you see this area of low pressure tracking it's way northwards to western part of the uk, the squeeze in the isobars means there will be strong winds, gales and heavy rain, but also ahead of it is drawing up some very warm, tropical air and that will extend all the way northwards into parts of northern ireland and southern scotland over the next few days. yes, it is going to be windy. there will be gales at times, some spells of heavy rain, particularly the further north and west you are, further south and east, dry and warm as well. here is how monday pans out. further outbreaks of rain across western parts of scotland becoming heavy and more persistent as it works it's way north and eastwards, some of that rain affecting northern ireland, the wind starting to strengthen. across england and wales, aside from one or two showers,
5:56 am
most will have a mainly dry day, some spells of sunshine, often cloudy, but feeling warm for many, temperatures between 19 and 23 celsius, 2a or 25 for east anglia and south—east england. as we go from monday night into tuesday, our area of low pressure works its way northwards across western parts of the uk, notice that squeeze in the isobars will bring strong winds, likely to see gales through irish sea and western coasts, some heavy rain as well, particularly for northern ireland and some of that extending into northern parts of wales, northern england and into scotland. a blustery start to tuesday, these are the wind gusts, the average speeds will be somewhat lower, but it is a windy day for all of us on tuesday and even though the winds do lose some of their strength, we will pick up strong gust particularly for western coasts. could be some rain around for northern parts of scotland, showers for northern ireland, northern england down into wales. again, further south and east it stays mainly dry and it could be quite warm for many, 19 to 23 celsius, perhaps a degree
5:57 am
or so higher across south—east england. as we go into wednesday, our area of low pressure is in the north of the uk, but on its southern flank we have some very strong winds. we could see gusts of 60 or 70 mph across parts of northern england, southern parts of scotland on wednesday. so it's a windy day. heavy spells of rain across northern england, northern ireland and parts of scotland, still very little rain further south and east, where it again it will stay fairly warm. some unsettled conditions over the next few days. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and naga munchetty. our headlines today: my deal or no deal. the prime minster defends her plan to take the uk out of the eu. i believe we'll get a good deal. we'll bring that back from the european... from the eu negotiations, and put that to parliament. i think that the alternative to that will be not
5:58 am
having a deal. the uk is running out of time to secure a successful brexit, according to one think tank. with just six months to go, we have got a special programme looking at how families and businesses are feeling, as the clock ticks. i'm here at the university of salford, where i will be speaking
