mps have unanimously voted to scrap aung san suu kyi's honourary canadian citizenship over the plight of rohingya muslims in myanmar. and finally, kicker is a big german football magazine. it explains why the delegation leading the winning bid to host euro 2024 were muted in their celebrations. so let's begin. with me is david buik, who is a market commentator at core spreads. what do you make of all of this? my plan for a better brexit, from boris johnson. number one, chuck chequers, scrap the irish backstop, negotiate a canadian style deal, prepare for no deal and start trade negotiations from around the world in april. quite a checklist for mrjohnson.. 4000 word essay, from mrjohnson, relatively temperate language. he describes this as a moral
5:46 am
delineation and a democratic disaster, not going of the other horrible things he said. this is a seriously intellectual person, but the whole. .. seriously intellectual person, but the whole... really? but the whole brexit process has divided this country, and i think we are all sick to death of it. i have some sympathy with prime minister made. she can't give us an update on every day of what is going on —— prime minister theresa may. obviously what happened at chequers, there were huge elements that borisjohnson and david davis did not like apple, and they should have come out then. as i understand it the word on the street is sirtim understand it the word on the street is sir tim barrow and ollie robbins knew that they had very little chance of delivering chequers to michel barnier. i don't like the idea of dirty money being handed out in the street. this is somewhere where you would hope there would be an eyeball to eyeball confrontation between various parties to see if they can come to some sort of common

ground. he has been sitting at home in oxfordshire, obviously curdling away or getting himself wound up. possibly with his divorce papers as well. very much so, but here it is. i love reading everything that he writes, but if you aspire to be a leader, which he clearly does... well, interestingly, notanywhere leader, which he clearly does... well, interestingly, not anywhere in those 4500 words was there a suggestion of a change of leadership. do you think it was implied? that says it. you don't have to say anything else. but i just don't think doing this three days before the party conference, when the country is incomplete turmoil, i don't think there is coal for it. so wrong move? if it genuinely is this is the way i feel andi genuinely is this is the way i feel and i have no aspirations to lead the party, i salute him. two days before the party conference? awful. iam one before the party conference? awful. i am one of sirjohn major's
5:48 am
greatest fa ns, i am one of sirjohn major's greatest fans, but for him to stand on the same platform as sir david and talking about how he dislikes brexit, i admire him for his commitment and fortitude —— david miliband. do you remember when he had an overall majority and was really struggling? give the woman a chance. it is a familiar refrain we are hearing quite a lot of on this programme. i know, exactly. moving on to business insider, and elon musk. should elon musk be given a chance on this? we have been talking about this decision by the securities and exchange commission, the equivalent of the financial conduct authority, and the decision to sue the boss of tesla on charges he made these misleading statements in tweets. we talked about how damaging it is to the company, the shares have tumbled, but how
5:49 am
damaging is it for elon musk personally? he has to acquit himself with the sec and come up with an absolutely bone a fight reason for why he was let down and why there was a change of mind —— bona fide. when he says there was a possibility of someone from saudi arabia coming in at... but he hadn't. i know, but he should have stepped up to the plate afterwards and said this was my idea, but it is not going to happen, but he didn't. to be fair, there was a statement released a few weeks later, tesla announced it would not go private, and a friday night press release, as we were talking, timing is everything, elon musk explained that funding for the deal had not in fact been secured and discussions had stalled in very early stages. but i think it was a fair period of time before the suggestion of the deal and the actual denial it was not going to happen. you think this was a strategy to flush out the short
5:50 am
sellers, the people who were naysayers ? sellers, the people who were naysayers? no, if you do that it is a dangerous occupational hazard. these people know what they are doing. they live by the sword and they die by the sword. they will not put off by a comment from elon musk and if they lose from one of their sources of into the market, they dust themselves off and go back on again. i don't. dust themselves off and go back on again. idon‘t. ijust dust themselves off and go back on again. i don't. ijust think this was very ham—fisted, and it has been very messy and the sec is going to wa nt very messy and the sec is going to want a really serious explanation of what happened. let's talk about what is going on in the china daily today, and china refusing claims by the us president that the company, country had undermined his party's prospects in upcoming elections by taking out effectively advertorials ina taking out effectively advertorials in a newspaper in iowa. what do you make of that? well, it isjust... we saw on the tuesday that it was iran that got the full brunt of president trump and wednesday we saw him as
5:51 am
the first time chairman of the united nations, a few platitudes, and he went what right between the eyes. and the bbc's filming and others of the chinese delegation getting together, absolutely shellshocked. i know they have issues with each other over trade and trump has... serious issues. president trump, in fairness to him, it is not balanced, the trade, but putting sanctions on people is not going to help. but to come in, as you say, through some spurious advert and suddenly say we think you are interfering with our mid—term elections, wow. that is a very serious allegation. and to do it in such an open place as the united states, well, i hope he has got some follow—up. i think he is kindly described as a loose cannon, so i think i would like to know exactly what will follow—up from that. wouldn't we all. let's talk about what is going on in canada. the
5:52 am
globe and mail, the national paper in canada, and talk about of —— elon musk. we are talking about the leader in myanmar. i feel sorry for aung san suu kyi. she flew the flag for democracy while under house arrest and get this titular appointment in myanmar but her hands are tied behind her back. she is not ina half are tied behind her back. she is not in a half nelson but a full nelson. that is your view, her hands are tied? to see what has happened, it is an absolute humanitarian disgrace. so who should be held to account? who should be responsible for what is going on to muslims in rakhine? 0k, they have made a
5:53 am
statement, but i feel very sorry for her, she should say i am going back to oxford. the trouble is i doubt the myanmar authorities would let her out. you can see her almost biting her bottom lip, desperate to say something. if she does speak out, she goes back into the slammer or house arrest. i think she has been vilified. i would like to think she is a very decent person, and i think she is, and i think she is caught between a rock and a hard place. before we move on to our final paper, let's just see if we can the response from germany to finding out that they had won their european championship did. the host of the euro 2024 will be germany. applause applause a bit different from tessa jowell,
5:54 am
david beckham going whoopee and all the rest of it. they are very measured, not like we are all like the spaniards are. in germany, everything is focused, everything is right, and yes, they love their football. they are an incredibly efficient race. but they are not tigers and —— huggers and kisses. not like us. no, very clinical. stay with us on bbc news. so much more to come. hello, good morning. it's fair to say that yesterday across england and wales felt a bit more like summer. in the sunshine in lincolnshire, we had temperatures here as high as 25 celsius.
5:55 am
now, today, still going to be dry in most places. there'll still be some sunshine around, but it will feel much, much cooler. we've got high pressure sitting to the west of the uk. the warmth is getting pushed away into the continent, and around the top of the high pressure, we've got these cooler winds coming in behind a band of cloud, which in the morning is affecting southern counties of england. it'll clear away, could get one or two light showers coming in on a north—easterly wind into the south—east corner of england. the north—westerly will bring more cloud into the highlands and islands, and a few scattered light showers here. temperatures, though, will be significantly lower for the likes of newcastle. six degrees lower than yesterday in london. and those temperatures will fall away sharply underneath the clear skies, with the winds falling light. the northern half of the uk sees a little bit more breeze, some cloud perhaps pushing into northern ireland, more especially the north and west of scotland. not quite as chilly here, but it will be much colder further south, 2—3 into rural parts of england and wales. sunshine, though, will boost those temperatures on saturday, lighter winds too.
5:56 am
a bit more of a breeze across the north, more cloud coming into scotland and northern ireland, some rain in the north—west, perhaps arriving into the central belt later on in the day. but ahead of that, it may feel a little bit warmer, temperatures 17 or 18 degrees. that weather front that's coming into the north—west, actually, is very weak. it's not going to amount to very much, and as it heads its waysouthwards, more a band of cloud with little or no rain on it at all. there's the band of cloud moving into england and wales. sunny spells following on behind that north—westerly wind will start to drop the temperatures, and there'll be a fair number of showers coming into scotland. some of those in northern scotland could be quite heavy as well. so sunday will feel a little cooler, those temperatures 12—16 degrees typically north—south. so we've got high pressure out to the west of the uk, those showers getting pushed away into the north sea. a northerly airflow as we head into monday. that's never a good direction, and that means some sunny spells, yes, but we will see quite a chilly feel on monday. and into the north—west of the uk, the next weather system arrives, clouding over in scotland
5:57 am
and northern ireland, some more substantial rain into the north—west by the end of the day, but temperatures struggling to 11—14 degrees on monday. that rain will push southwards overnight, leaving us with more of a westerly airflow, so not quite so chilly by day or by night. there'll be a lot of cloud, and probably not much rain. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: accusation and emphatic denial. the us senate hears dramatic testimonies in the row over donald trump's supreme court nominee or donald trump's nominee for the us supreme court and the woman who accuses him of sexual assault —— with what degree of certainty do you believe brett kavanaugh assaulted you? 100%. i swear today, under oath, before the senate and the nation, before my family and god, i am innocent of this charge. around 1,000 headteachers prepare to march on downing street to demand

extra funding for schools.
