5:47 am
well, this is the ring of fire, this isa well, this is the ring of fire, this is a huge area of seismic activity, and this is the second event that we have seen in this wayjust a weeks, including the lombok earthquake just a few ago. the indonesian authorities under a lot of pressure, they are calling for international help it already people are starting to say why were all those people on beaches not receiving this tsunami warning? because these warnings have been put into place because as you say, they are extremely susceptible. and that was part of the post 2004 response after the asian tsunami, making sure tsunami alerts would work. in this case, maybe things did not go right and the indonesian authorities would be worried as well, they had thousands of people descending into indonesia, into bali, ina descending into indonesia, into bali, in a few days‘s time, for the imf meeting, again another low—lying area. we're looking at the straits times coverage, singapore not very far away at all. the conservative
5:48 am
party conferences under way and of course, it is going to dominate the headlines in the uk throughout this week in the same way the labour party conference did last week, but this is an interesting homepage, the independent. a senior tory party donor saying it there are political jihadis within, it is a powerful quote. yeah, a number of tory party members are not happy, they see what is going on within the tory party, thatis is going on within the tory party, that is what this tone has said, he isa that is what this tone has said, he is a big player in the ageing market. he has given somewhere around £1 million himself to the party in recent years. it does highlight something else as well, and that is that labour is finding it much easier to get money from donors right now than the conservative is, why is that masoe? well, if there is a snap election, the parties will need money. —— conservatives. there was a quote
5:49 am
there from winston churchill about those who are fanatical about politics will not change their mind. talking about phillip hammond and his speech but also an interesting one from laura kuenssberg, saying that it one from laura kuenssberg, saying thatitis one from laura kuenssberg, saying that it is going to be an extremely tough week for the prime minister andi tough week for the prime minister and i do remember her speech last year. do you remember? lettuce falling off, she lost her voice? year. do you remember? lettuce falling off, she lost her voice7m nothing goes wrong, she looks in command, my heart goes out to theresa may. she is in a very tough situation. mine to. ijust want theresa may. she is in a very tough situation. mine to. i just want to say there are other types of lozenges are there as well, as we are on the bbc. —— mind too. paris to bea are on the bbc. —— mind too. paris to be a post—brexit eu trading hub. this is a very interesting story. to be a post—brexit eu trading hub. this is a very interesting storylj remember interviewing a member of
5:50 am
the french authorities who is talking about all of their efforts to lure financial services, paris, berlin, everybody wants the crown. to lure financial services, paris, berlin, everybody wants the crownlj think berlin, everybody wants the crown.|j think we forget that paris is almost as big as city as london, the french government had been working hard to put all sorts of financial outfits into paris, and the story he says it is the preferred trading hub for europe. they end up paying a lower taxes in the economies and it is saying that the bank of america has accelerated its preparations by moving people there, we know other banks have announced that. this is also a sign that president macron is exceeding in changing france's image. he is showing that france can bea image. he is showing that france can be a place that is pro—business, and i think we have seen people respond to that. having said that, london has great depth of knowledge, it is ha rd to has great depth of knowledge, it is hard to replicate. it is great depth of knowledge, and its history and longevity in all that, but also as well you talk about france becoming
5:51 am
as financial hub but also, president macron‘s popularity ratings in france itself at their lowest. does seem to be a tough battle for president macron, he seems very dedicated to that what he is offering good deals to people wanting to move there, so it is proving attractive. —— it does. i don't think london can afford to be complacent. absolutely not. the final page of the daily telegraph, you are heading to bali as you mentioned for the imf meeting, give us mentioned for the imf meeting, give us your take on the imf really pushing this message. christine lagarde again and again in the press. she believes very strongly in globalisation and also that free trade is the way to future economic growth, i do not think she is wrong about that. i had to tell you that the european bank for reconstruction and development, we think that that is called for economic growth, that free trade has helped the world economy, globalisation has helped
5:52 am
the world economy. so the imf are saying here that they want to have a renewed push, they want to remind people that there are benefits and free trade at the same time as we have all these tensions. i would say one thing, they are right, i think we are right too to push this thing. it has to be a different form of globalisation probably going forward , globalisation probably going forward, we can't ignore the way that many people feel that in some ways some people have been losers in this. not some people, a lot of people. and that is why we are seeing this turbulence in. a lot of people are saying we are losers, which is why we are seeing this anticapitalist, antiestablishment, anticapitalist, antiestablishment, anti globalisation parties coming to power across the globe. the vast majority of people have gained from globalisation, there is no doubt, but there is a significant minority who feel that they have not. any future globalisation has got to be more inclusive, we have got to see more inclusive, we have got to see more inclusive, we have got to see more inclusive growth. but is president trump another is listening? as far as world leaders,
5:53 am
it would seem that they are just powering ahead with their own agenda. china, actually they have their own agenda. we are seeing a new form of globalisation are merging, it will not be like the sort that we saw in the 90s and the 20005, sort that we saw in the 90s and the 2000s, early to thousands, but it is different. the deal that we have been talking about today between the us, canada and mexico, we can see there is still a desire to do trade agreements, but if your donald trump, you want a more modern trade agreement and on something you can sell to your political base has your terms. let's take a look at this story that snuck in. people sneaking in vodka into the international opera. they do not need vodka to watch the opera, you do not need anything else, it is amazing. watch the opera, you do not need anything else, it is amazinglj watch the opera, you do not need anything else, it is amazing. i have to say i am anything else, it is amazing. i have to sayiama anything else, it is amazing. i have to say i am a music lover but the one area of music i have always had a problem with this opera, so i will

5:55 am
this was one of these, from woolacombe, in devon. thanks to gazzledazzle for sending us that in. fewer rainbows around today, but there will be more in the way of sunshine, but it's going to be a cold start. some patchy frost in the countryside for scotland and northern england over the next few hours. if you're heading outside, wrap up warm. just two or three degrees there for newcastle and for edinburgh. so a ridge of high pressure with us first thing on monday, but we do have an approaching low that will ultimately bring some rain into the north—west. so enjoy the sunshine first thing in the morning. there should be plenty of that to go around. it's probably going to be the sunniest day of the week ahead, to be honest. things will tend to cloud over from the north and west as the day goes by, and watch out for a few showers continuing to feed into the irish sea coasts, perhaps into cheshire, greater manchester, merseyside, on and off through the day. we'll have more general rain push into scotland and maybe northern ireland as we head through the afternoon, the winds picking up. relatively cool air with us, top temperatures about 15 degrees. but that cool air is moved away by this wodge of milder air as we go on through monday night and into tuesday. now, that's all associated
5:56 am
with a warm sector, with the warmest of the air across england and wales for tuesday. this is how tuesday starts — a very mild note. temperatures 14 degrees or so to start the day in belfast. but it will be cloudy. there'll be bits and pieces of rain and drizzle, particularly around western coasts and hills, where it may well stay quite damp. the cloud will break at times across eastern areas, to give some bright or sunny spells. a much warmer day, actually, across south—east england, with highs of 20. we're still into the cool air, northern england, northern ireland and scotland. temperatures for these areas more typically around 12—14 degrees. another warm front moves into the uk on wednesday, again bringing more rain with it to the north—west of scotland, could be quite heavy at times. a lot of cloud, you'll notice, on the charts. still quite mild in the south, little change further north, with temperatures around 12 or 13 celsius. what about thursday's weather prospects? well, we get a more active weather front moving into north—western parts of the country, so turning
5:57 am
soggy for northern ireland and scotland, with some heavy rain. the winds picking up here. perhaps a little bit of rain getting across the hills of northern england and north wales. however, it should stay dry and bright towards the south—east. highs of 19 in london. still quite cool, then, for northern scotland, with 12 in stornoway. so, looking at the weather for the rest of this week, it's often going to be pretty cloudy. there'll be some rain at times, particularly in the north—west, and it'll be quite breezy at times too. that's your weather. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today — searching for survivors — indonesia calls for international help to deal with the powerful earthquake and tsunami which has killed more than 800 people. brexit, business and party infighting. we'll speak to the chancellor of the exchequer phillip hammond. there are are at billows of smoke coming out from the bonnet and at that stage, i saw the flame lit up
