gulf news has a gloomy outlook for iran. quite an emotive piece when you read it. i would expect that for two reasons, one is the gulf news is right there in the region, it is owned by businessmen from the uae, they take quite a hard line on iran and the second reason, in the end, this will be very painful for iran, i know it pretty well, haven't travelled there for a while but i used to a blog when i was a journalist. this is a country that is going to find the pain of the sanctions hard to bear —— i used to when i was a journalist. looking at the swiss system, you are cutting iran out of the international banking system. that is bound to have an impact. despite the efforts of the uk, germany, france trying to

maintain trade, but the reality is, without the us in the deal, it makes it impossible for international businesses to operate in iran. not least because many international businesses err on the side of caution. they say we're not going to get into the us bad books, possibly in breach of sanctions, it's better for us as multinationals, even if we are european countries, to stay clear of iran. are european countries, to stay clearof iran. iran are european countries, to stay clear of iran. iran will find it harder to sell oil and find it harder to sell oil and find it harderfor harder to sell oil and find it harder for businesses to buy raw materials. the gulf news highlighting how difficult it will be for iran and the economy and the residents, but will it have the desired effect? it was the tough sanctions that brought iran to the negotiating table last time to the deal. what will happen this time? we will have to wait and see. iran is not a single place. it's a very political place, it's a place where you have many hardliners who say we will take

the pain no matter what. at the same time, pragmatists will say we have to negotiate and do something. that split is coming more intense. president rouhani is in a difficult position, losing allies quickly. and on the streets. you have a report earlier, we have seen trouble on the streets were people, for economic reasons, saying we've had enough. we will see that economic tightening and we will see whether more and more people decide whether they want to try to put pressure on the government, put pressure on the islamic centres of power in the country to say we want a change. it's going to be tough for iran, feel sorry for ordinary iranians. putting pressure on the government because they want change, 1500 of the uk's top lawyers have signed a letter and presented it to the prime minister, theresa may, to say we would like a second brexit referendum and one of the points they make, reported in the guardian, democratic government is not frozen

in time, it is evolving and many are calling for this second referendum. another day, another brexit story. she is adamant there won't be one. in this guardian story, the lawyers are making the point there's a difference between the 1975 referendum on continuing eu membership and the 2016 referendum, in 1975 the deal had already been done so people voted on something very specific. therefore this should be viewed very differently in the 2016... be viewed very differently in the 2016. .. do be viewed very differently in the 2016... do you be viewed very differently in the 2016. .. do you agree? be viewed very differently in the 2016... do you agree? do i agree? personally i would like to see a second referendum and believe it's a bad move to leave the eu, on the other hand, i'm sorry, it's difficult in a democracy, it would heighten the divide many people see between the elites and others because people might see that they're forcing us to vote again

because they didn't like the initial results. in the end that might not be so good for democracy. from that point, theresa may might be right but another big story in the ft today, saying she has told business she once continuing frictionless trade. if she wants that, britain needs to stay in the single market and customs union, in effect membership without being a member. i can see that's probably about the best that can be done right now. the front page of the metro, fourth fatal knife attack in five days. some startling statistics about how in february london overtook new york in terms of its murder rate, this kind of thing. knife control is getting out of control again, a huge story for london four years —— knife crime. we've talked about it this morning because it's a terrible situation —— for london for years. 15—year—old boy, a talented artist,

and something needs to be done. absolutely. let's look at this story in business am. a nigerian story, china's new social credit system to penalise frivolous spending. china's new social credit system to penalise frivolous spendinglj bought some vinyl yesterday, would that be frivolous? probably. in 2020, china will roll out its controversial social credit score. every citizen will start with 1000, that will be your social credit score, if you do antisocial things, you will lose points and if you lose a enough you will be penalised. bans! you might not be able to travel, lodge in certain hotels —— travel, lodge in certain hotels —— travel bans! i guess they would say is an attempt to make people good citizens. this story makes the point that it's no different to having your credit score in the us, where

poorer people, if you lose yourjob, you do suffer. a communist version of that. when i read this i thought this is what i'm doing with my children! if they don't behave well, they are grounded! you were always a trendsetter! they get a travel ban! laser beams from canberra to solve theissue laser beams from canberra to solve the issue of space junk. 170 million pieces according to bus speed are in orbit, those old satellites, they area orbit, those old satellites, they are a menace, they travel at huge speeds, 28 size and mph! —— buzzfeed -- 28,000 speeds, 28 size and mph! —— buzzfeed —— 28,000 mph. the experts are going to do something. it is like terrible traffic in town, too much stuff in the air, something needs to be done! i want your opinion on this, too many students are leaving with debt for too little payback, lots of

viewers have been tweeting. a review on further education in the uk.“ you leave after three years with £40,000 of debt potentially, that is crazy. no prospect of employment. there's not enough jobs for graduates and there needs to be a much tougher view of whether we need graduates in some areas in the uk, 01’ graduates in some areas in the uk, or whether it would be better to do courses about technical training and apprenticeships. we don't have enough of those and we need to reread balance the economy. after all, the number of people in higher education has gone up substantially in the last few years —— re—balance. thanks for your company. have a lovely day. hello. nature's very own light spectacular, the aurora borealis, or northern lights, in full display across the northern isles. also, some parts of eastern scotland and eastern england under clearer skies, but further west, a different story. this area of low pressure in the bay of biscay, we have a frontal system extending across western fringes of the uk,

continuing to bring outbreaks of rain. this will ease from northern ireland through the morning and things get dry across wales and south—west england and outbreaks of rain continue to push their way north and eastwards across scotland as this too pulls away. behind it, we'll see the cloud thinning and breaking. bright and sunny spells and a scattering of showers, but very mild for the early part of november. temperatures generally between 10 and 15 celsius, up to 16 or 17 in east anglia and south—east england. after the windy conditions of the weekend, a gentler south or south—easterly breeze through monday afternoon. we'll keep that gentle breeze as we go on through the evening. for many, it will be dry with clear spells. a bit of patchy rain continuing across parts of northern ireland, western scotland, maybe the far south—west of england. but if you do have plans for firework or bonfire displays on monday evening, for most, it will be dry, it will be mild and there'll be a gentle locally moderate breeze.

as you go from monday into tuesday, we have another frontal system in the atlantic working its way towards the uk. it does have limited eastward progress, so on tuesday, the heaviest and most persistent of the rain will be across the western side of scotland, northern ireland, eventually into wales and south—west england. meanwhile, further east, it stays dry, breezy and bright sunny spells. look where those winds are coming from, all the way from the south. we're going to keep that mild air, temperatures again reaching 14 to 17 celsius. but some persistent rain further west on tuesday. as we go from tuesday into wednesday, that front does begin to work its way eastwards across the uk, so overnight, we'll see outbreaks of rain and a squeeze on the isobars. strong winds at midweek and slowly through wednesday, our outbreaks of rain will start to ease away towards the east, become lighter and patchy so something dry here

through the day and central areas too. further west, we will see the heaviest and most persistent of the rain. it is an unsettled feel as we go through the week. wednesday afternoon, temperatures up to between 12 and 14 celsius, not as high as what we see on monday and tuesday but still quite mild for the time of year. and that is the theme for the week ahead. it's going to be mild and also windy and there will be some rain at times. that's all from me. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: britain's armed forces turn to foreign fighters to solve a recruitment crisis — commonwealth citizens will now be able to serve without ever having lived in the uk. nearly 200,000 workers are set for a pay rise from today. the voluntary real living wage goes up to £9 an hour. i'll be finding out what it means for workers. remembering the fallen as armistice week opens —
