devices in what looking at personal devices in what amounts to a digital strip search. many of you have been in touch with us on many of you have been in touch with us on that. and the sydney morning herald has reported cervical cancer is said to be eliminated from australia within a decade because of the public health problem for the first time anywhere in the world that it would be a first globally. it is because of the vaccination programme they have in australia. and finally in the irish times website there is a picture of don strickland who, as we mentioned, is the first female nobel prize winner for 55 years and she becomes only the third woman to win the award after mary cury in 1903 and maria mayer in 1963. huge congratulations to donna. we have cornelia mayer with us. the daily telegraph says cabinet ministers have said to them it isa cabinet ministers have said to them it is a question of when, not if, when it comes to the pm stepping

down. it is reminiscent of tony blairand down. it is reminiscent of tony blair and gordon brown, remember when they said, when tony blair was asked to tell what he was stepping down, to step aside? yeah, ifeel sorry for her, it is incredibly unhelpful, because right now she should really concentrate on brexit. this whole brouha ha should really concentrate on brexit. this whole brouhaha in the conservative party, with the brexiteers, jacob rees—mogg, boris johnson, you know, conjuring up all the dissent, it is not helpful because she has to negotiate now with europe, not within her own party. she is, and that is the reality and today she delivers her speech at the tory party conference. last year there were all sorts going on, letters falling down behind her, she lost her voice, a protest ran in with his p45, it was chaos. it was chaos but i am sure that people learn and she has a good machine

behind her, after all, downing street, so i am sure she will be fine and it will be interesting to see what she says beyond brexit. remember when she came into power she said she wanted to have the country for everybody and she wanted to be the prime minister of everybody, so it will be interesting what she has to say on those things as well. well that will be one of the lines actually and we say on bbc 0nline that she will say we are thinking of everybody, so she will announce no tax rises on petrol, a freeze on petrol. for the ninth year ina row? freeze on petrol. for the ninth year in a row? for the ninth year in a row, just to say the tax on petrol is higher here than many countries around the world, when you compare it to the us it is something else. in europe, close to every cent of every pound spent on petrol doesn't go to the nice oil producers in the middle east, it goes to our government. let's look at the independent which of course talks about boris johnson independent which of course talks about borisjohnson who you have mentioned, because he had a packed room yesterday on the fringes of the

conference, there were queues around the building to get in. and at the same time the home secretary sajid javid made some very pertinent points and nobody listened at all, which is quite something. in the independent it talks about his leadership chances. they say they have increased. and they talk about a seasoned borisologists, weighing up a seasoned borisologists, weighing up what he had to say in his speech and they talked about how it had a lot of typicaljohnsonian audacity, phrases we have to become familiar with. very interesting and it also talks about how there is no time for the election, which i would question, because if you look two weeks ago emily thornbury said, we will work out whatever theresa may comes up with with the brexiteers and, oh, no, we don't wanta referendum, we'll go for an election. going back to the telegraph it argues the cabinet says she must step down because the election was such a disaster last

time, the snap election that she called, she played it all wrong and they don't want to go through that experience again. let's look at the financial times, amazon raises the minimum wage prompting jeff bezos to listen. the world's richest man i believe. he is listening. $15 an hourin believe. he is listening. $15 an hour in the us, 19 50p an hour in the uk. it is good and even bernie sanders congratulated him and said he has done the right thing —— £9.50. they have underpaid a lot, employing 500,000 people globally, they have underpaid a lot of people, a lot of people are on alli wages, it is not easy. so it is good and really what gets me with amazon is they pay so little and a lot of the people work for them have to go and claim benefits —— hourly wages. because they can't make ends meet. and they pay so little taxes. so, good on him, finally doing something right. this is those who actually work for amazon but all of the

people who deliver the goods, they don't work for amazon. no, it is a very, very good point. the other thing is it will affect the bottom line 900 billion two 1.8 billion, thatis line 900 billion two 1.8 billion, that is not even 1% of their yearly revenue “— that is not even 1% of their yearly revenue —— to 1.8 billion. that is not even 1% of their yearly revenue -- to 1.8 billion. now, where are you on this digital strip search you have to undergo if you are going to new zealand and they think you have something to hide? well, a, i don't hide from customs officials, b, ifi well, a, i don't hide from customs officials, b, if i have something on me and they tried to find information, that would be a problem, which is why i tend not to travel with such kit. what if you had to, though? if you are a lawyer? you have to... well, i have things shipped electronically and then they

are shipped electronically and then they a re installed shipped electronically and then they are installed on the other end. interesting thing here is, if they wa nt to interesting thing here is, if they want to have access to read my life, they are welcome. i don't believe that at all, i don't believe it for a minute and we have heard from many viewers who have given us thoughts on this, angela smith in the uk says necessary step, she believes, in today's world of evolving threats we have to arm the authorities with the tools to protect us all. i have no issue with it. and we have another viewer, andre fasso, if i pronounced it right, in auckland. as a new zealander i find it inappropriate as a way to do security checks and it will violate our privacy, which is an appalling thing to do in a free country like new zealand. is new zealand a country where these checks are necessary? that is an interesting thought. many are for, some are against. gary says surely it is an invasion of privacy. it might be an invasion but we have to

keep our borders safe and nobody, with the threat of terrorism, absolutely nobody in no country is safe, so i have sympathy. there are ways around it and so we have to learn to be clever. australia is congratulating itself on a health policy it implemented some years ago which was very controversial at the time. the sydney morning herald has the story, cervical cancer to be eliminated from australia as a global first. so eliminated from australia as a globalfirst. so all eliminated from australia as a global first. so all young eliminated from australia as a globalfirst. so all young people are vaccinated for a certain type of infection that could lead to this type of cancer and it is having great effect. this is fantastic. that is really, really good. and those are the wonderful breakthroughs of science and, great! and the next tory has a lot to do with science! yes, donna strickland from canada got the nobel prize for physics, she is there with two other scientists, the first woman to do so

for some time. the third woman i should say. she is the first woman in 65 years, yeah, she is, and my personal idol, marie curie, to be in that league is fantastic, but i was shocked when i heard that i think that the last three years there were no nobel prizes awarded to a woman. in science. yes, that was interesting. so having her in is great. it has been quite a week for firsts, the first female chief economist at the international monetary fund announced this week as well. so, quite some step forward. it isa well. so, quite some step forward. it is a step forward. and a necessary one. and a necessary one and at the end i hope that the most capable person is in, regardless of gender. absolutely, buti

capable person is in, regardless of gender. absolutely, but i know that in stem subjects, science, technology and maths, they are trying to encourage young girls to ta ke trying to encourage young girls to take on the subjects, and this role model, donna strickland, will enable that. it is fantastic that we need more women and we also need more men in engineering, in physics, there are too many economists, mbas, floating around, too many of us floating around, too many of us floating around, too many of us floating around, we need more scientists who can actually do things. yes, absolutely, can they fix brexit, though? negotiate with the european union? 0h, fix brexit, though? negotiate with the european union? oh, dear. thank you for coming in, and thank you too for your company on the briefing today. i will see you again soon. goodbye. hello. the rather warm for the time of year and humid air that became established across wales and england on tuesday will, in the day ahead, spread across northern ireland and scotland. it will feel noticeably warmer here.

behind this weather front, a warm front, the leading edge of milder air. but that's coming with plenty of cloud, and to start wednesday it's a damp, and drizzly, and cloudy, misty, murky start across many parts, western parts, especially coasts and hills. it will be clear overnight in scotland and eastern england. there will be a chill around first thing, but the cloud will thicken here as we go on through the morning, which leaves us during wednesday with a good deal of cloud around. a few bright and sunny spells here and there, but still, along western coasts and hills, you could see a lot of patchy light rain and drizzle into western scotland and northern ireland. more especially, those outbreaks of rain affecting western and northern parts of scotland, the more substantial bursts of rain possible here at times. still with a noticeable breeze here, but not as windy as it was on tuesday, and particularly where you get to see some occasional sunshine, it will feel quite warm for the time of year, quite humid. and these temperatures are higher in northern ireland and scotland compared with tuesday.

now, as we run on through wednesday evening, wednesday night and into thursday morning, there are some breaks in the cloud. now, you might think some of it is going to drop away, but they won't, really, because remember this quite warm and humid air mass established across the uk. actually, it's quite mild night wednesday night into thursday. the chance for a few fog patches developing the further south you are in england and wales, through a centre of high pressure, where there's really not much breeze at all. again, some moisture in the air, it's humid. and then an approaching weather front on thursday will shake the weather up a bit in scotland and northern ireland once again, as we see some outbreaks of rain moving in. later in the day, that could reach as far south as north—west england and north wales, with a freshening breeze. but for many southern and eastern parts on thursday, once any fog clears away, we get to see some sunny spells, and again temperatures are a good few degrees above normal for the time of year. i want to show you this weather front as we go through thursday into friday. it stalls through the middle part of the uk, and north of that you get the blues moving in. it will feel cooler and fresher across much of scotland. sunny spells, one or two showers. the front may linger through southern scotland, more especially northern

england and wales, with cloud and outbreaks of rain, and south of that weather front, you still have the rather warm and humid air. so for friday, a bigger range of temperatures. this weather front will clear away south—eastwards over the weekend, lingering with some rain for parts of england and wales on saturday. may still be getting some rain into south—east england on sunday, we'll keep you updated on that. once it's gone, though, it brightens up, but it's much cooler for all. good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: the prime minister says she is fighting for hard—working families, as she freezes fuel duty for the ninth year in a row. mounting desperation in indonesia, as survivors of the earthquake and tsunami search for food, fuel and water. here in palu, emotions are running high, as survivors are still struggling to get
