an analyst at europe control risks. good to see you. let's begin with the front page of the times. it has a moment where the queen is praying, she has highs closed, it is the centenary she has highs closed, it is the ce nte nary of she has highs closed, it is the centenary of the armistice. 70 events have ta ken centenary of the armistice. 70 events have taken place with the yesterday but in the days prior to that. this has been moving, hasn't it's as always in the uk, that senator yesterday morning, the queen headed over the replaying duties to prince charles last year.” headed over the replaying duties to prince charles last year. i think is to her will stop this article talks at length about her involvement, of course, and the various other events are taking place, the symbolism of

this year, being 100 years since armistice, marking the end of the first world war. 50 many armistice, marking the end of the first world war. so many ceremonies taking place all across europe. if we move on to the atlantic, it talks about the events taking place in paris, where can you know, the french president, a micron, was very much on stage. he is their next two angela merkel in this picture, and next to her is donald trump. if it is on their relationship, donald trump and manual macron. the romance is over, according to the atlantic. i think the remains were surprised to start with coming given that they are very different on things that nationalism. donald trump has criticised europe generally for not putting in enough muggy, he thinks, into nato, and compressor to the us. that is what started this week and on about that. it talks about how he arrived in paris late friday and from you know, put out some of tweed

that was not well received by emmanuel macron, and how on saturday the saturday of their meetings and discussions and the impression given was that, you know, they were coming you know, getting along. but that was the readily a smooth path. but that it ever is with donald trump. acting that is right. the emmanuel macron has is clear objectives, and he used this event at the weekend to asa he used this event at the weekend to as a leader of europe, as angela merkel sort of steps aside. he wants to step into that roll. the future relationship between europe and america really depends a lot on mrs is very interesting to see more and more how emmanuel macron is appearing as the leader of europe, and angela merkel is taking more of and angela merkel is taking more of a back seat, as obviously the leadership is changing in germany in the future. and your emmanuel macron is devoutly positioning himself as

camino, the new boys on the international stage were europe, with this vision for a new europe. death. he is really struggling with this opinion ratings at home, but internationally he is really presenting himself as this figure. i think that is what he will try to do with the european parliament elections coming up in may. this party, he wants to have a good image there. interestingly, the announcement in the atlantic that the relationship between donald trump and the emmanuel macron, and the relationship between the us and europe. we have spoken a little bit about this before, but this is the independent. this was the thinking that she would have a cabinet meeting today as opposed to the scheduled one on tuesday to approve ape brexiteer that she present to brussels. but at the events last week with jo johnson resigning brussels. but at the events last week withjojohnson resigning in what has then, she is realising, perhaps, she will not get better she

won't get that not from the cabinet today if she were to presented to them. i think possibly - today was only ever pencilled in. with the events over the weekend, then equally in the uk, and the remembrance day services, they have neither time to hammer out a deal. and repair of that as well. exactly. there are divisions within the cabinet. there are pro—brexit members who really want to push back against having the backstop that the uk can't unilaterally pull out, that he had a lecturejohnson, who are per remain, and they really don't wa nt to per remain, and they really don't want to associate themselves with they see as a disastrous deal. what is the theresa may at this point is that it would seem that brussels is not moving on some of its key redlines and yet she has two present brussels with the uk's deal, proposals for a deal. >> she does. and this will come down to wording. can she finds some of

wording that were sure that there will not be looked into some in the cloud get out. while also satisfying brussels that it is going to protect the northern irish border. we have two watch this space very closely indeed. but as the sake of a big clock is ticking furiously now. and camino, the internal turmoil seems to be coming to a another crisis point, doesn't it? it does. and even assuming that is making it a deal that has the backing of the cabinet, that has the backing of the cabinet, that she has to get it through parliament. that he will see the same argument over again. yourjob is to measure risk. how risky as this? it is pretty risky. i mean, there are all those pitfalls that mean that we might not get a deal, and they really think for businesses operating in the uk and around europe, they are really happy to sit up europe, they are really happy to sit up and think what will this mean for oui’ up and think what will this mean for our business if there is no deal? let's move on to 0pec and

bloomberg's analysis of the meeting that the plays of the. many were expecting them to announce that they might cut production. there was concern about over surprise. give us your take on this. the price of oil is in that we talk about a lot because it actually does have very big impact on economies and individuals, on inflation, interest—rate policy, it is the biggie. yes. as long as all prices are high, putin has been able to maintain this grip on the country. 0il maintain this grip on the country. oil prices did fall and russia was under a lot of pressure, saudi arabia, the rain, for that matter. but with oil around $70 of aral, is that not fine for the likes of russia, saudi arabia? at exactly the

moment. will it carry on and that is where we will be concerned. has the us is the all. countries covered production in terms of trade are artificially keep... when the price of oil was very low in recent times, and he show producers in the usjust could not afford to produce the shale, we see similar action?” think that is certainly a scenario that we could see. let's have a look 110w that we could see. let's have a look now at the financial times story. rossi resignation service helping japanese dutiful workers to quit theirjobs. a fascinating story about an industry on the rise in japan that helps people to quit. about an industry on the rise in japan that helps people to quitm is. it is interesting that it is presented as a cultural thing, the lot of workers injapan presented as a cultural thing, the lot of workers in japan feel that they are —— have share mckosher

quitting. but there could be a lot of use this service around the world. i know some people who would ta ke world. i know some people who would take grey delight in doing. it depends the circumstances and what you going to next. yes. and what this article says that a lot of people have been saying they have paid leave. it is really, yes, they have thought about this. good to have thought about this. good to have you with us programme. it is a much real time. several of you have beenin much real time. several of you have been in touch with your thoughts on that far north story about quitting. this is about sorting your way through the news and getting your thoughts on that. goodbye. hello. the week ahead will once again be a fairly mild one for the time of year, even if we start the week on a fairly fresh note for some. but it's a week that starts the way

the weekend finished, with some fairly blustery showers around, particularly in the south and west. we've got low pressure with us, basically a zone of rising air helping to build those shower clouds. and this weather system across northern france will be close enough for the south—east and east anglia not only to produce a few heavy showers, but throw over a veil of cloud, stopping some morning sunshine. the breeze is coming from the south and west, so it's southern and western counties of the country most likely to see showers for the morning commute, and around the irish sea coasts, we could see winds close to gale—force. those showers filtering up around parts of west wales, isle of man, into south—west scotland. much of northern ireland, much of north—east scotland start dry with some sunshine, and it's the north—east of scotland most prone to a frost first thing. for most, it's going to be a frost—free week. now, through the day, showers in the west will push a little bit further northwards and eastwards, given the strength of the breeze. but there'll be parts of the midlands, north—east england, northern scotland, northern ireland who will stay completely or almost

completely dry throughout the day. temperatures 12—14 degrees, still a little bit higher than it should be for the time of year, and it will be one of the cooler days of the week. now, as we go through monday night and into tuesday, a few more showers will push their way eastwards. the wind switches around in direction to more of a westerly one into the morning, and it will be a cool night. temperatures down into single figures. but as i said, most will be frost—free thanks to the breeze as we start tuesday. but the key for tuesday is this little bump in the isobars, bump in the pressure pattern, northwards. that's an indication we've got a ridge of high pressure. that puts a cap in the atmosphere, stops some of the showers from building. there'll be a few around in the west to begin with. one or two may push their way eastwards, but by and large, the vast majority of you will have a dry day, with temperatures similar to those on monday, and the breeze will ease down a little bit. finish the day with cloud increasing in northern ireland and western scotland, damp night to come, here. and into wednesday, outbreaks of rain across northern western parts of the uk. into wednesday, outbreaks of rain across northern and western parts of the uk, most persistent west of scotland, cumbrian fells, and across gwynedd.

further south and east, a dry day with hazy sunshine, but across the board, hazy sunshine or rain. a very mild day for the time of year, and it's across some eastern areas of scotland, north—east england, and eastern parts of northern ireland we could see temperatures around 16 or 17 degrees. and we stick with the milder theme as we go through into the end of the week. high pressure builds a little bit across continental europe, keeping weather fronts out to the west, keeping things dry, and keeping that southerly airflow. so the warmer air will largely remain with us, but as winds fall lighter later this week, we've got a greater risk of seeing some mist and fog form. bye for now. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: senior cabinet ministers had serious doubts about theresa may's brexit plan from the start, as boris johnson calls for a cabinet mutiny. more than 31 people are now known to have died in the most destructive wildfires california has ever seen. around 70 are still missing.
