that keep them off social media over fears that they are too distracted by their smartphones. so let's begin. priya lakhani is founder and ceo of century tech, a uk based education technology platform. let's start with vox, shall we? yeah. start at the top with vox and this sort of extraordinary new us law that he wants to bring in, this ban, and the us albury is the requirement to hear claims from asylu m requirement to hear claims from asylum seekers if they claim they are under threat from their home countries, under international law, these are considered refugees. can these are considered refugees. can the president really stop immigration in the national interest? well, it is his donald trump, so everything is different when it comes to him. it is a version of his wall, what is is that

most people who enter the us and the between ports of entry, when they cfoss between ports of entry, when they cross the us—mexico border, and this affects about 10,000 people a month. and what is is that you need to try and enter the us if you want to be the official ports, you can no longer costs without papers in between ports, and what is going to happen to these people who just cfoss happen to these people who just cross over happen to these people who just cross over without their papers is that they are going to be subject to set restrictions and is not really clear on friday as to how bored this is. -- clear on friday as to how bored this is. —— cross. but it seems that, when you are in the us, you obviously have the right to see an asylu m obviously have the right to see an asylum officer, so you have an interview and in that interview, the threat level will change if you have not entered the right route. some people will be actually turned back, so people will be actually turned back, so it will be a nightmare. when you talk about there should, it is this the threshold of just talk about there should, it is this the threshold ofjust how persecuted family is the border? when you interviewed, an asylum officer will try to deem whether there is

credible fear of persecution and there are two different thresholds, one is higher and one is lower. 0bviously, what you want to go areas as the lowest threshold, but if you rent entity the wrong route, this is what they are saying, we are not quite sure how this is all going to work yet, if not they will have to pass to the highest threshold which means pass to the highest threshold which m ea ns lots pass to the highest threshold which means lots of people will be turned away. there will be incredible to use and waiting times by these ports, that are not built to deal with these numbers of people. it is quite right in a sense that people are saying this is a matter of human rights. it will be interesting to see how this unfolds that this is very sort of trump and his policy during his election campaign is very anti—immigration and sort of a populist movement that is against people entering the country that are not american. yeah, it will be really interesting, the trump administration however does have a long track record of having it immigration policies put on hold or

struck down by federaljudges. they do. what is interesting about the wall, this whole us mexico issue, it has become a whole lot more complex with the mid—term elections. because in the house of representatives, democrats are taking over, the budget for the wall is going to be a big issue. this is in the sense another way of making it more and more challenging for people to cross over. let's talk about another big issue, it is hardly out of the papers. brexit, sorry. you are apologising for it now. 5:48am and i have already said brexit, i apologise. this story here, it is forecasting the european commission. these are based on a smooth brexit, that we are going to be the slowest economy in europe, aside from italy, which is really struggling at the moment. this brings into sharp focus what a massive brexit might look like. i was really surprised actually to see their forecast 1.3% uk growth and that is with a smooth

brexit actually a uk forecasts are not dissimilar, is 1.6%. brexit actually a uk forecasts are not dissimilar, is1.6%. it brexit actually a uk forecasts are not dissimilar, is 1.6%. it puts a lot of pressure on theresa may in terms of brexit negotiations because i think people are still hopeful that if there is a deal, that actually hopefully we can not end up with such dire consequences and this is really, the story is really about consumer confidence being weak, it is about investment in british business being subdued. i am an entrepreneur, it is not the way we wa nt to entrepreneur, it is not the way we want to see things, we want to be is, we want to be global businesses, we wa nt is, we want to be global businesses, we want to ensure that trade is strong, yeah, it is not a great story but, hopefully, i am very hopeful that we are relying on the entrepreneurial community, particularly the tech industry, to make sure that we continue to boost the uk economy. interesting is one way of putting it. yeah, britain, we know we are an island. just explain to people who may have missed it. know we are an island. just explain to people who may have missed itm

a speech, we not sure whether it was just a slip of the time, he said he underestimated the importance of the diver calais route for trade. that is our supply diver calais route for trade. that is oursupply chain, diver calais route for trade. that is our supply chain, it is the essential part of our supply chain. —— dover. he had not really realise the importance. as somebody who is in charge of the brexit negotiations on deals and very heavily involved in that to say that i am really hoping it isjust in that to say that i am really hoping it is just a slip of the tongue. —— for somebody. hoping it is just a slip of the tongue. —— forsomebody. 0bviously we know that we and islands, we noted that is an important route, and is that is true, then thatjust goes to show how very little these people have actually understood the implications of exit. it is up for debate whether it is actually a good 01’ debate whether it is actually a good or bad thing, that is fine, but for him to say that was just really embarrassing. really embarrassing. let's talk about, briefly if we may, the story that is in the scottish daily mail. very interesting, gay rights lessons in all schools. scottish students will be the first

in the world to have lgbt subjects on the curriculum. i wonder if this is more for the students or for the teachers, because some of the first open, formative conversations that stu d e nts open, formative conversations that students will have on these issues and people need guidance. students will have on these issues and people need guidancem students will have on these issues and people need guidance. it has been six years since the removal of section 28 in scotland, which promoted the promotion of homosexuality in scottish schools. what we often say in any scenario is that that often comes in ignorance, and so in order to try and reduce ignorance, we have to educate, and so ignorance, we have to educate, and so they are bringing this into the classroom, which is actually, the fa ct classroom, which is actually, the fact is actually welcomed and supported by the catholic church is really interesting. the catholic church in scotland are saying we do not support abuse and discrimination in our schools either, it is really interesting to teachers because teaching and dealing with these issuesis teaching and dealing with these issues is really, really challenging, they have a lot on

their plates. it is not something i deal with in my business. it is wonderful that this has been embraced by scotland and hopefully australia will also take the same route, and that will actually set a precedent for the rest of the world to handle these issues with some real ca re to handle these issues with some real care so that these children can feel included and not deal with the kind of exclusion they have to face in the playground. when we think of italian culture, we think of the three fs, fine food, fashion, and finite. why on earth would easily be interested in importing gun culture? it is not usually interested in gun culture, it is a politician who is trying to copy and paste marine le pen. -- would italy. he is trying to crack down on immigration, cracked down on the war on drugs, and spread the sense of public safety. he is talking about public safety and security. and he is tying these two

issues together, public safety and immigration issues. whereas crime has been dropping in italy for yea rs. has been dropping in italy for years. i was in italy a few years ago, and there is rising crime, according to a taxi driver. everyone is looking for a strongman in politics, everyone wants to be protected and say this is a politician. this is really, i think that a lot of this is about egos in politics. but yeah, it is really interesting given the current news we just interesting given the current news wejust had, at interesting given the current news we just had, at how can people be advocating this in europe? i hope he spends as much time on mental health as he does and gun laws and then maybe, people could say actually, potentially it is ok, it sort of diy security in your own home. here is the sort of link from one story to another, apparently this chart was dumped by his girlfriend and instagram. this storyjust a couple

of days ago. is that to do with gun laws ? of days ago. is that to do with gun laws? who knows? maybe not. i hope so. laws? who knows? maybe not. i hope so. there was a study by illinois state university, university of michigan, saying that parent's overuse of smart phones that a link between parents's excessive use of smart phones and bad behaviour in children. i am concerned about it, i have two it's no be very concerned if my nanna spent all the time on the phone, staring at the screen. i wa nted the phone, staring at the screen. i wanted to be playing with the kids, lego and so on. ok, well, do let us know what you think. stay with us here on bbc news — so much more to come. see you soon. batten down the hatches, rain and gales on the way. initially, western parts of the uk.

we already have had some rain and some stronger winds across some western areas. this was the weather front that went through during the course of thursday. this next weather system is rushing in and that really is going to bring some very poor weather to northern ireland, scotland, the irish sea coast, wales, and down into south—western england as well. through the early hours, we still have the rain across some western areas, that's the left over from what we had on thursday, actually. this next weather system here — that's piling in. some very strong winds with this weather front. before that arrives, actually a bit of a calm for some of us. in fact, starting off fairly bright across many central and eastern areas of the uk. here's friday morning, as this weather system aproaches, a lot of isobars here, these white lines, pressure lines, that indicates strong winds and those winds can be quite destructive. heavy rain and gales are expected across western and south—western parts of the country. also central and southern england will be feeling the effects

of this weather system. so let's get the forecast then from friday morning onwards, initially, the weather's actually not too bad across central and eastern areas, and even the south coast will have some sunshine. in fact, it could be a bright, if not sunny start, but then very quickly the weather will go downhill by the time we get to the middle part of the afternoon. the south—west of england, wales, northern ireland, the irish sea here, gale force winds and some very heavy rain. let's zoom into this area. this is what it looks like at three o'clock. the dark blues obviously indicate the very heavy rain. within this band of rain some very strong gusts of winds, could be in excess of 60 miles per hour in some coasts. that's also strong enough to cause some disruption and damage to trees potentially. and very windy a little bit further towards the east as well. so even if you do not get the rain, those winds really will be picking up. friday night into saturday, that band of wind and rain sweeps right across the country. the worst will be in the west. as that band of rain moves towards the east it will tend to ease.

by the time we get to saturday morning, it is out of the way and we are left with a day of sunshine and showers. still quite a breezy day but nowhere near as windy, but relatively mild. mild south—westerly winds so highs up to around 1a degrees or so. here's remembrance day, sunday. we have sunshine and showers on the cards. some of the showers will be heavy but many of us should have a decent day too. that's it from me. bye— bye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: the start of three days to mark 100 years since the end of the first world war, theresa may willjoin the leaders of belgium and france to lay wreaths in memory of the fallen. a fast—moving wild fire forces thousands leave their homes in northern california. there are reports some people have died. good morning. we get the latest

economic health check this morning, expected to show the economy grew in the last three months of the year, but what difference does it make for business? i'm at this tile factory in doncaster today to find out. arsenal are through to the knock out stages
