which means he pays a lot less tax bya which means he pays a lot less tax by a huge margin. which means he pays a lot less tax bya huge margin. i which means he pays a lot less tax by a huge margin. i was so shocked because i have interviewed him, met him several times, we have followed his rise within the cloud industry and what it has meant for nissan, renault, mitsubishi... going back to 1999, he really completely saved the company on the brink of bankruptcy. he is the huge figure, notjust in japan and for nissan but for the cloud industry which has gone through some real tough times but, of course, —— car. carlos ghosn has been paid over1 billion yen which is over nine million dollars in the last few years. this year they have

come down to a mere $6.5 million but the money he has saved underreporting the amount of income... if that is the case, the investigations are ongoing. it has been ongoing secretly for the past couple of months. he seems to have had no idea that he went to tokyo. he has not responded at all and has not said anything about the allegations... but it seems very isn't anywhere the him to go after this. once these headlines come out, that really seems to be the. the new york times continues the story of what happened to jamal khashoggi. donald trump hardly his defence of the saudi prince. the new york times not a fan of the president, it has
5:51 am
to be said. this is an ongoing scenario and the relationship between the us and saudi arabia is making it ethical tfor president trump. this goes to waste. you could say donald trump is just waiting for the details to be confirmed by his intelligence agency but, on the other hand, you could see some of the quotes he gave on fox news, a newsagency that he doesn't like, where he has almost dismissed a lot of the investigation and a lot of the details from his intelligence agencies. a key recording and his line is that he is not supposed to listen to it because it is not particularly nice to listen to. it isa particularly nice to listen to. it is a difficult story which goes along way with the thais. your kids have happy meals? they do. mine do,
5:52 am
not too regularly. the state in quebec is trying to sioux donald is, it sounds like a david and goliath story. in canada, he says they are breaching the law. we have seen stories are with advertising by fast food stores during children's hour on tv. what he is saying is that mcdonald's are pushing their toys and advertising them at eye level within their stores to really push their happy meals. that is the business model, isn't it? exactly. it is not us they need to persuade. mcdonald's of one of the largest toy distributors in the world. that is a fast food company but, of course, they will push their toys to help sell their products at their toys are sell their products at their toys a re often sell their products at their toys

are often tied to films and you collect them. it is very clever. these kids want to go back to mcdonald's to get the next oik. these kids want to go back to mcdonald's to get the next oikm is easy. i did empathise with the dad because there are so many battles you have as a parent and this is one i did not want to have. it is an unhappy conversation between me and my children. what are you make of "the tulip", right in your backyard. do you like it or not? right next to the gherkin. i think it looks quite good. this is what london is all about, these unusual iconic buildings and there is so much debate when they are being discussed but they tend to be approved, they emerged and then we all fall in love with them

5:55 am
all the mild air that we had over the weekend has been pushed away by these easterly winds, and with stronger winds, it will feel colder today, and we're also drawing in colder and colder air as the day goes on. now, probably not a great deal of frost to start the day, too much wind for that. there may be some early sunshine. i think fairly quickly the cloud will build and all these showers in the east will get blown that bit further westwards, some of them heavy and maybe a touch wintry over the higher ground as well. a closer look at the showers in the afternoon. frequent showers coming through the english channel and into the south—east of england. we've got the winds on there. those are the mean winds, but around the coasts of eastern england, they could be gusting a0 miles an hour or more. and some frequent showers, even longer spells of rain coming into northern england, perhaps some wintriness over the high ground. because it's an easterly wind, most of the showers in scotland will be in the east. north—west scotland seeing some sunshine and fewer showers, and that's a similar story really across northern ireland as well. let's focus on those temperatures though, disappointing reading. and if you add on the strength of the winds, because the wind is stronger, it will feel colder.
5:56 am
there will be a significant windchill, especially for the eastern side of england. there'll be some more wet weather around during the evening, and perhaps a little bit more sleet and snow over the higher ground overnight, especially across wales, northern england, and then later into scotland. as the cloud begins to break later, and the winds drop further south across the midlands, into southern england, even here there's the risk of some icy patches, with temperatures not far away from freezing. but on wednesday, we've got more of a south—westerly breeze, so that will tend to push the wetter weather further north into northern ireland, into scotland. again, some wintriness over higher ground. a few showers coming into the south—west, but on the whole, england and wales will be dry, with a good deal of sunshine this time. it's still cold, temperatures number—wise not changing. it probably won't feel as cold, because it won't be quite as windy, and there should be some sunshine around too. wednesday and into thursday, we've still got low pressure to the south—west of the uk, high pressure to the north. the south—easterly breeze is continuing to ease down, but we are going to drag in what looks like being much more cloud on thursday. still some showers from that, likely to be rain. it should be a dry day for scotland and northern ireland,
5:57 am
and these western areas are beginning to see some sunshine. temperatures beginning to creep up as well, so temperatures eight, nine, maybe double figures in the west. so it's the right way forward, if you like, those south to south—easterly winds coming in towards the end of the week. it shouldn't feel quite as cold. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and dan walker. our headlines today: a new threat to theresa may. the democratic unionist party, which contributes to the government's majority, says the pm is not keeping to the bargain over brexit and withdraws its backing on an important vote in parliament. after days of fretting, mrs may's own backbenchers were plotting to turf her out of downing street, now the whole party is now turning up the heat. a shoot—out at a hospital in chicago leaves four people dead, including a doctor and a police officer.
