which is less than 1% of its total sales. and, finally, the mail online reports on the french capital of paris, which has decided to ban cars from the city centre on the first sunday of each month. cars will be barred from the ist, 2nd, 3rd and 4th arrondissements beginning this weekend. paris, which already holds an annual car—free day, is the most polluted city in western europe. who knew? with me is lawrence gosling, who's editor—in—chief of what investment. this time yesterday, we were live to south korea, that because they held the intercontinental permit the climate change. it is extremely worrying and damning report that came out. unless we make serious changes to our lifestyle, our behaviour, government policy, all of the above, we are looking at a

catastrophe. extraordinary, really. this picture is not easy to see. dead fish from a motorway in florida in august, demonstrating that this is an example of the rising temperature, the rising sea levels around oceans around the world, talking about the rise of one celsius having catastrophic invitations for all of us as a society, a global economy. it is really quite extraordinary. it is interesting that to do list pr, the world must invest $2.1; trillion in clea n world must invest $2.1; trillion in clean energy every year for the next 15 to 20 years. on one hand, the pollution is potentially very dangerous, the investment opportunity, the world has the ability to fund a solution that is. we talked about getting rid of the use of coal by 100% by 2050 as well.

there are some stark things need to be done. in the world of business, i am noticing it more than ever, company bosses that i interview, whether they'd need ftse 100 company bosses that i interview, whether they'd need ftse100 bosses all small businesses, it is on their minds. how can we make our business more sustainable or create a company that resolves problems. the big announcement last week of a huge deal between canada and many economies in asia, the gas deal to replace the use of coal in many major asian economies. steps are being taken. this report was very damning and very dark in many ways. but there were elements of hope in it in terms of what people are trying to do. it is just the big economies like china, the us what they might do. exactly. there is hope, and you are quite right. the last five years, the way businesses

have brought about this, it is extraordinary and people are trying to find practical solutions because we live in a global economy. if people can make profit out of it, ending this problem, they will do. there is definitely some hope in there. the financial times has china and the us on the front page, mike pompeo has been doing a tour. he went to korea and beijing. misguided actions is what china is saying. it doesn't sound very strong. what are they hoping to achieve? it is very polite political rhetoric, essentially saying... did donald trump take notice? probably not, no. he has accused the chinese of meddling in mid—term elections. bullying, protectionism. the chinese are reminding him if he wants a

solution to the north korea issue, they are very important and the chinese have played the most important role. it is tit—for—tat, going on all year, starting with the pew trade sanctions and they will begin to bite next year. it is creating a considerable element of global uncertainty and it doesn't help financial markets at all at the moment. against a drought —— backdrop where global growth is quite strong. 3.796 backdrop where global growth is quite strong. 3.7% this backdrop where global growth is quite strong. 3.796 this year and next. not a bad thing. that is slightly above the long—term average. i think the politics are important here, how it plays out you suspect they will probably end up reaching some kind of rapprochement so reaching some kind of rapprochement so they can get along with running their economies. the politics being important is absolutely right. the daily telegraph, the business section. the headline was written

five years ago. it was written again two years ago. it is a recurring theme in italy. it always comes back to this. it has been written for the last ten years. this number of debt is not a particularly high number in the scheme of things, 3.8%. it is higher than it was and it is on the back of the rhetoric from the coalition government essentially saying, we don't like the eu. that spooks markets a bit because it has the spectre of brexit for the uk. slightly worryingly for the italian banking system, it holds about 400 million euros of italian government debt, so that becomes a bit of an issue because if they need to get rid of some of this debt, and have a big spiral on the value. if there is any massive issues, financial crisis 01’ any massive issues, financial crisis or difficulties, italy need the friends in the eurozone to help. in the same way greece did. it is not

running a balance to deficit at the moment, and that is what germany in particular, was it really pulling the strings here, doesn't like. we will watch that space. facebook, about seven o'clock yesterday morning announced it is tripling its tax bill to 15.8 billion pounds. it sounds like it is having a much—needed cash injection. facebook, it is peanuts. we are talking about record sales of 1.3 billion sterling and the interesting thing is there is a weasel phrase book uses to reduce that 15 million down to 7.5 million. it has a share option. it will employ six thousand people in the uk in the next three yea rs. people in the uk in the next three years. on one hand, less tax, but it gets more national insurance, and more income tax. chancellor hammond announcing last week new tax

proposals, new idea for taxing digital companies, the budget is coming up in a couple of weeks. their eyes are firmly fixed on the likes of facebook, google, amazon and the rest. despite their efforts, we are not getting much from them. the four largest tech companies pay £65 million in tax annually.“ the four largest tech companies pay £65 million in tax annually. if you area company £65 million in tax annually. if you are a company running a business in the uk and you are paying a full 20% corporation tax, this must really rile you. particular if you are older in engineering. all you are a high street retailer struggling to stay afloat. absolutely. we have the budget in a couple of weeks time and we will see something tax revenue as opposed poster profit. paris bans ca i’s opposed poster profit. paris bans cars on the first sunday of every month. this is to improve their

quality and improve peoples experience in the city centre of paris. i must admit i think it is a great idea and it can be inconvenient for some, great idea and it can be inconvenient forsome, but great idea and it can be inconvenient for some, but you had to rethink how you get in. park and ride. it is a sunday, a day of leisure. who knew as was the most polluted city in western europe? i didn't know that. in london, once or twice a year around the west end near the studios, it is a car free zone and it is really quite delightful. it reduces pollution and kind of slows down the pace of life, which makes things more relaxing. we have heard from many viewers around the world. in rwanda they are ready to do this and hoping to do this in new delhi, without one viewer saying they would love it to happen. we have jessica saying, they would love it to happen. we havejessica saying, please bring this id at a tokyo. —— please bring this id at a tokyo. —— please bring this idea to tokyo. people think it

would be fantastic. it brings us back to the story we started with, this issue about climate change, and in the report it says we had to think of new ways of living, transformative on think of new ways of living, tra nsformative on every think of new ways of living, transformative on every single level. it is changing the way we live. think not driving your car into a major city around the world for one day a month is a very, very small inconvenience. the least we can all do to try and improve the climate and improve longer term outlook for our children. indeed, and their grandchildren as well. thank you so much coming in. thank you for your company, and all your comments. take a look and join in the debate. i will see you very soon. hello. there's some warmth and some sunshine in this forecast. also, one more day of rain for scotland and northern ireland, and by the time it finally pulls away later on tuesday,

through the early hours of wednesday, parts of the western highlands could well have seen around 200mm — that's close to eight inches, on this one front, which has been hanging around for a few days now. still with us on tuesday, still bringing strong winds, outbreaks of rain into northern ireland and scotland, always heaviest the further north and west you are. slowly through the day, it will be pushing its way northwards. so something dry arriving into northern ireland, southern and eastern scotland, and increasing amounts of sunshine across england and wales, as the cloud through the morning thins and breaks. just keep a little bit more cloud across the far north of england. anywhere from north wales northwards will see the strongest of the winds through tuesday. this is an idea of the average speeds, but the gusts, once again, will be touching 40 or 45mph. lighter winds further south. here in the sunshine, temperatures between 17 and 20 celsius. 15 and 16 for northern ireland and scotland. still just 11 for the far north of scotland. through tuesday evening and overnight, our band of cloud and rain continues to work its way northwards.

so, for much of the uk, as we start wednesday morning, it'll be dry with clear skies, the odd patch of mist and fog and a mild start to wednesday. temperatures between 7 and 12 celsius as the overnight low. and that warmer air continues to push its way up across the uk through wednesday. you can see temperatures rising, the warmest day of the week, and our front finally starts to clear away from the far north—west of scotland. just some cloud and some patchy rain first thing in the morning, before finally it moves away. and then for much of the uk, it's a fine day, plenty of sunshine. a fairly noticeable south—easterly breeze. later in the day, some hazier skies across southern england, perhaps with some showers here through the evening. just to give you an idea of the temperature, you can see that warmer area extending right across the uk, and we can see temperatures quite widely in the low 20s celsius on wednesday, even up into scotland. parts of east anglia and south—east england could see temperatures up around 24 celsius. now, by thursday, it's more unsettled.

bands of showers, longer spells of rain working their way up, particularly across the western side of the uk. further east, at this stage, dry and still holding some warmth. 20 or 21 celsius. a cooler feel further west. and then as we go through friday, keep an eye on what's happening here, because we could see some very wet and windy weather. gales are likely across much the uk, very unsettled by the end of the week. good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: the second suspect in the salisbury novichok poisoning is identified as a medic in russia's military intelligence. i do solemnly swear... brett kava naugh thanks president trump for his support as he's sworn in as a us supreme courtjustice. tackling violence in prisons — officers in england and wales
