in fact the fan base was completely divided so what do they think now? so let's begin. with me is andrew tuck, editor of monocle, a global news and business magazine. we begin with the crisis on high street. financial times looks at the fa ct street. financial times looks at the fact that landlords are saddled with a glut of unsold shopping centres. quite a big problem. officially and unofficially a number of these centres up for sale is incredible but interestingly, the number of deals being done is at an historic low. they cannot get rid of them. this is the shift to online retail but there are many other interesting things. just look at car ownership. people do not want to get in a car and drive to do the weekly shop or even to purchase clothes on a saturday. those people want to go online. that is where convenient shopping is now. for these operators, they need to regenerate and we will talk about that later on, they need to regenerate and they have to rethink. will these mauls

the places of mixed use and entertainment? will there be residential as well? it is a huge change. yes. a complete refit think of not just change. yes. a complete refit think of notjust shopping mauls but even town centres. everything needs to be really thought. why we do and don't go to places. some shopping centres are seeing some go to places. some shopping centres are seeing some success. go to places. some shopping centres are seeing some success. westfield in london, for example, there are two of those. in some cities like manchester there are big shopping centres that ra hub that it is all about the experience. going for a day of experience. it needs to be sold in that way. there is a discount retailer operating a shopping centre but most of it is open airand it shopping centre but most of it is open air and it is a pleasant place to go. now they are bringing in high—end food restaurants as well to make sure you have an amazing day. you go there for lunch, you hang out, use that he. and then, suddenly, it transforms the

experience. if you think you can get people to come in, and do a quick dash round with their shopping, my get in yourcarand dash round with their shopping, my get in your car and drive, be stuck in traffic and then have a bad experience? that is the problem with a shopping centre. it needs to be reinvented for the times we live in. and also, the weather plays a huge pa rt and also, the weather plays a huge part in this. we have had an extraordinarily hot summer here in europe. and i know we alwaysjoke that retailers are blamed for poor results but you will not be in a shopping centre all day if it is boiling hot sunshine outside. you're more likely to purchase quickly online and spend the day at the seaside or something. the summer weather has been difficult for many people who trade, especially in fashion. even with the warm leather continuing, people are waiting to get winter coats sold. as well as

the boots and everything else. a look at this other retail story. the chief of tesco calling for a 2% amazon tax to ease high street woes. amazon tax to ease high street woes. a2% amazon tax to ease high street woes. a 2% tax on online sales to prevent high street chains from going to the wall. an interesting line from him. they have had to scale back its online offering hasn't it? when you look atjohn lewis, they say this would not be a solution. charlie mayfield earlier this year said that attacks will not sort out high street problems. they are very good at doing click and collect and very good online. other companies are slow on the uptake with online retail. he says that a tax will work. i don't think it will transform what is happening on high street but there are some ways it does seem unfair, this relationship between trading between online and off—line. for example, if you want to sell product on a sunday you can go online and buy it but if you are

a high—street retailer you are restricted in the hours you can operate. so maybe there needs to be a little more... trading sunday trading law? as long as workers are happy about it and there is a negotiation that says let's be a little more online with the way our customers would like to shop. dave lewis they are adding calls for a tax on the likes of amazon and the others. let's look at this story in the guardian. the thomas cook travel clu b the guardian. the thomas cook travel club brand. you and i are both giggling. thomas cook recently released an upmarket cooks club brand. it is no longer about sex and sangr|a , brand. it is no longer about sex and sangria, it is about a melting pot of culture, instagram holidays and deagan delights. i think instagram does come into it. again, the shift

key where they are saying that what has happened in the past is that the generation work dependent on travel agents for booking a holiday. and now they are wise to it. they do know how to find a hotel and put together an independent holiday food they do not like this world very much. but the idea of british people going abroad would no longer drink a lot... and quote meet people, unquote,. i think it is an end of veneer unquote,. i think it is an end of veneer of this kind of package holiday. but if you to somewhere like majorca, a result like that is not closing down. people will be coming fire of the routes that this sense that these companies can make money from this generation... again, this company has battled due to the weather. there was a 25% plunge in

their share price last month because so their share price last month because so many of us did not book a summer holiday to spain because it was so hot at home. we had a vacation at home. this younger generation book holidays later. so they can make that decision at the last minute. the human race is facing extinction if the sperm rate continues to fall worldwide. the reasons why the sperm quality is down is all the things we know, really, isn't it? this report was given yesterday that the american society for reproductive medicine. what is interesting is that many of the causes of pointing to have been around for a long time. smoking, for example. but maybe it is also to do with chemicals as well and pesticides are being blamed. now, doctor who. you watch the first ten or 15 minutes. you probably need to have an early night but what did you think? good on jodie. it is

great that she has taken on this role and moved it on. and she has not been caught up in the debate around it. it is also good that in the end it returns to being a story and it should notjust be a battle between what men want and what minute women want. it is great that we re minute women want. it is great that were used to the fact that these roles should be taken by whoever best for the part. and many are saying they agree with you, andrew. they are quite pleased about the fa ct they are quite pleased about the fact that they changed the cast. not just a change in the cast, the director has changed as well. so let's talk to you about some of your views today. charles says that it is a wonderful cast and just what you would expect a doctor who to be. i will start to watch it again. he says tom baker was his favourite. do you have a favourite? tom baker is the one i remember growing up with. andrew thomson says he has not

watched for a few years but he enjoyed the episode last night with a new female doctor. he thinks it will take a few more episodes to see how to be developed the character and it her own. someone else says that it was excellent, gordon says he loved it. someone from london says he wants to know if wonder woman will become wondered matt —— wonder man. thank you very much for coming in. thank you for being here. and thank you for all your comments. a p pa re ntly and thank you for all your comments. apparently we still have one minutes ago, i have been told. i have been trying to end this early which is com pletely trying to end this early which is completely unlike me. so, this episode of doctor who was simulcast at the same time in the us as it was in the uk. this programme is broadcast in 50 countries around the world. i wanted to know, however, is

that if this is a good young, a role model for young people? that if this is a good young, a role modelfor young people? definitely. — doctor who has always been a good role model. he was never that sex is not crazy. he was not a james bond lost furrier. doctor who is always played well as a character for young people and had an adult appeal. and she is so busy doing stuff. she is an engineer, a scientist, and that is fantastic. she is making and creating and doing stuff. the trailers that have hinted at the breaking of a glass ceiling have stuck with people in the run—up for weeks. people will be invested in this. thank you for coming in. i hope you have a really good day, no matter what you are up to. good morning.

some autumn warmth to come in the week ahead, but before that, i just want to concentrate on the rain. it was a pretty miserable sunday across the far north—west of scotland, a lot of low cloud, it was windy at times and there was some rain, some of it persistent. a couple of inches of rain has already fallen in parts of the north—west of scotland already, and there's more wet weather to come for the next couple of days. so i just want to concentrate on this rain, notjust extending through scotland at the moment, but right out into the atlantic. we're going to see a plume of moist airjust feeding in off the atlantic, and it could bring some localised flooding. before the next couple of days is through, we could see at least 100—200 millimetres of rain fall. so it stays wet here. a south—westerly flow, more cloud across the south—west, but here it will be largely dry. if we look at the afternoon in a little more detail, you can see how heavy the rain will be sitting across the western isles, into the north—west of scotland, and a little bit of showery rain just fringing the far north northern ireland as well. further south of that, yes, we will see that south—westerly wind a little more cloud coming in off the west—facing coast, but it should continue to thin and break in sheltered eastern areas and we should start to see those

temperatures responding just a touch. so highest values not out of the question of 18 degrees in the far east. now, as we move out of monday into tuesday, almost a repeat performance. we've got this weather front feeding in cloud, wind and rain across the extreme north—west. the south—westerly flow drives in mild air and we'll see with a little more sunshine and less cloud around temperatures up to highs of 20 degrees. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, we'll start to see a subtle change. yes, it does look as though there's the potential for some ea rly—morning mist and fog forming first thing on wednesday morning, but hopefully we'll keep more of a breeze to help lift that fog across england and wales and the winds will swing round to more of a southerly. the warmth is coming in from the near continent, it'll get warmer still, it'll help to push the weather front out of the way back up into the far north. a drier day for scotland, warmer day for all, could see 19 or 20 degrees in scotland, we could see 23 or 2a, and we haven't seen temperatures like that in england for the 10th of october for over a0 years. it looks as though it'll stay largely fine and dry on thursday,

but friday sees some wetter weather, and that unfortuantely sets us up potentially for a spell of wet and windy weather as we move towards the weekend. a lot of uncertainty with this at the moment, but certainly worth bearing in mind if you've got outdoor plans. take care. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today — a warning to the world — scientists say we will have to make drastic changes to the way we live if we are to tackle climate change. the worst road accident in the united states for ten years as all 18 people in a limousine and two pedestrians are killed. too many apprentices aren't getting the high—quality training they deserve.

that's the conclusion of a report out this morning from a committee of mps. mo farah wins a marathon for the first time — at only his third attempt — breaking the european record along the way in chicago.
