welcome back. let's start with love and guardian and rex. ‘s first it has an analysis of what happened to theresa may, saying she could be on her way out at downing street although she is the cue for now. she has been brought back from the brink. looking at the end of last weekend it really was on the edge, she could stay or she could go. and this is interesting because it brings up the question of gibraltar which has not been a huge discussion point so far. the focus has been on the irish border. the problem was gibraltar, they want more clarity and more clarity over the future relationship. and while spain are expressing concerns they cannot actually stop the deal going through. what this gets based on in europe, 20 from 27 countries need to vote for it. so if spain does not vote for it. so if spain does not
5:46 am
vote that will not stop the plans. gibraltar is interesting. i was there an the night of the eu referendum, will knowingly against brea kfast referendum, will knowingly against breakfast because —— against brexit because they are a mixture of british people and spaniards there, they were wondering what happened to their status. it is a tiny —— tiny beat of the uk at the bottom of spain. but there is a borderfrom spain. but there is a borderfrom spain into gibraltarand spain. but there is a borderfrom spain into gibraltar and you need to show your passport. is the spanish authorities choose to do so, they could make it difficult. is 2—way trade is also trade is a key point and there are many companies based in gibraltar who have different rules for because they are based there. they are all in limbo. theresa may has addressed it, she says she does want gibraltar to be a discussion point. but we are nearing the end point. the endgame and these
5:47 am
people are now having to be very insecure about what the future holds. that is the thing. the cannon was kicked down the road continually and the aim of the moment is to get the brexit deal and the transition period in place in order to go forward and discuss the future relationship. alike this analysis of theresa may, there is a picture of jacob rees mogg and compares him and his colleagues to a group of pirates staging a mutiny but failing to deliver the fatal blow. that only seems to have been the case. you wonder what is happening behind the scenes. they came out in full force and he delivered his letter to the committee who oversees the leadership of the tory party with great flourish but he has not had the backing of others he expected. it is all somewhat underwhelming. there was a lot of thought that this would become something much bigger
5:48 am
but, no, the support is not there right now. and i think people are concerned. if they got rid of theresa may what would happen? who would come in next? and could they do any better? she argues not. now city am, their headline apple at the core of the global tech rout. markets have been falling substantially over the last few days. wall street, as far as the gains made so far this year, they have all been wiped out. that happened yesterday. the dowjones lost 500 points overnight, 400 the day before. there are many causes of concern as far as investors are concerned. 0ne concern as far as investors are concerned. one is the technology rout. apple dropped 5% overnight and this stems from concerns over the number of iphone sales. the underlying problem here, which is actually what is affecting the
5:49 am
entire market, is not specifically iphones but the concept that next year we are going to be seeing a tightening of belts, the amazing numbers we have been seeing over the last few years will not be seen as far as the economy or corporate growth is concerned. this is a reflection that we are seeing in the markets of that. is this fall cycli ca ls, markets of that. is this fall cyclicals, do you think? is it something that goes around comes around all is a wider deeper underlying issues? there is a cyclical element that there is a large element of this being the result of trade tariffs, concerns over global growth as a result of trade tariffs and issues with china and tensions. you then also have the concerns of the federal reserve hiking the interest rate to quickly putting pressure on the dolly which dam and —— dampens demand for equity. there are a lot of influencing factors. moving out of
5:50 am
the guardian. for their headline they have done extensive analysis of how people vote across the world but in europe in particular. 0ne how people vote across the world but in europe in particular. one in four europeans are now voting for populist and it describes populist politics is a battle between the overlooked ordinary people and the corrupt and self—serving elite. can you tell us about this? this is interesting. the article discusses the current climate as being a breeding ground for populism so you have the number of europeans voting for populist parties surging from 7% to 25%. that is a huge increase. blaming it on things a recession, immigration, social media. you just have to look at at italian spain and greece as examples of that. but then they also mentioned czechoslovakia where you have low unemployment, a strong economy and it has almost been untouched by the european
5:51 am
immigration issues and they still have a really strong populist party. did they say it was a cause for worry? it has been a cause of concern, yes, but it is more looking into what they are going to, how they will analyse it going forward. looking at this story in the bbc online and also in a couple of other papers. this is about how actually the internet is now possibly the saviour of the high street particularly google with a new app. alike this story. it is to see that technology bed boosting, supposedly boosting the high street after all the problems that technology has. we know that the uk high street is suffering at the hands of amazon and other internet giants. so this is a start—up app, a light infantry
5:52 am
system. the idea is to make shopping easy. rather than ordering something from warehouse 100 miles away, the idea is you could pop down to the local high street and find it. the concern is that the difference between going to the high street and going online is that you don't want to rock up to high street and find it does not exist. that's how it works. i think is a lovely story about bringing technology to hit the high street. notjust in this country, it is in india as well. exactly. another app here bringing the neighbourhood together.m exactly. another app here bringing the neighbourhood together. it is called neighbourly. it brings community together and community through this app. so story for technology. wonderful if it works but we do need to use that otherwise these high street shops will go by these high street shops will go by the wayside. a great story in the guardian and one we are asking viewers about today at this idea of
5:53 am
retiring before the age of 30. too late for me but we can all enjoy the thought. can you explain about this movement? it is called financial independent retire early movement. the idea here is that it attracts 20 and 30 —year—olds to implement huge changes or stick to strict rules on their spending in order to be able to finish working early, in their 30s, and retired. ithink it is to finish working early, in their 30s, and retired. i think it is very interesting and it is something that appears to be growing in popularity recently. it has been in the news a lot and there are some interesting things to take from it. for lower wage people it is probably not achievable but the tools and techniques that they talk about are perhaps something that could be implemented across the board. rather than going out and purchasing
5:54 am
coffee, make one at home. things at that. interestingly, we have had one tweet saying that it depends on what you read you need 500,000 retire pot to retire. so even living frugally, what sort ofjob would allow to retire. so even living frugally, what sort of job would allow you to retire. so even living frugally, what sort ofjob would allow you to save that much money? you do need to be on save that much money? you do need to beona save that much money? you do need to be on a high income and forget it if you have children. there is no saving money there. great to see you today. thank you for taking us through the papers. keep your thoughts coming in and stay with us here on bbc news. there is plenty more to come. hello, good morning.
5:55 am
as expected, tuesday was a really cold day, and it's been cold enoughjust recently to bring some sleet and snow to lower levels, even into the south—east of england. but on wednesday, the coldest air and the strongest winds will push northwards across scotland and northern ireland. so we should see some improvements further south. but we've got a cloudy start on wednesday morning. the wetter weather for northern ireland moving away from northern england, up into scotland. again, some sleet and some snow, particularly over the hills. but then we should see things brightening up, a few showers coming in as well. more detail in the afternoon. you can see the showers in the west country perhaps affecting east wales and the west midlands. for eastern england this time, some welcome sunshine, much drier weather as well. and that sunshine may develop through the afternoon later on into southern parts of scotland. northern ireland still stays quite wet, frequent showers around here, quite wet for central and northern parts of scotland, some more sleet and snow, mainly over the hills. quite windy across scotland, gusts of 40mph around some of those eastern coasts, so if anything, it's going to feel colder than it did on tuesday for scotland and northern ireland, especially with the strong winds and rain, but it shouldn't feel quite as cold as it did on tuesday for england and wales,
5:56 am
especially if you've got some sunshine and the winds are not as strong as well. but the wet weather will tend to clear away for most areas during wednesday evening, and that means clearer skies, that means tumbling temperatures, before we see cloud coming in off the north sea, bringing with it some drizzle, arresting the temperature fall, but further west with clearer skies, frost likely and maybe some icy patches. some early sunshine perhaps across northern ireland, into wales and western scotland. maybe some sunshine developing at times across southern counties of england, but elsewhere, cloudy, a little bit damp with some wetter weather pushing back into eastern scotland, seven degrees if you're lucky here. eight or nine, i think, will be fairly typical elsewhere. another chilly sort of day. the threat of rain coming into the far south—west with this area of low pressure. higher pressure to the north of the uk, hence this east to south—easterly breeze, not particularly strong on friday. a nothing sort of day on friday. not much sunshine, a fair bit
5:57 am
of cloud, most places will be dry, showers more likely in the south—west, and wetter weather again coming into eastern parts of scotland. those temperatures getting up to eight, nine, possibly even the heady heights of 10 degrees, so the temperatures are going the right way. the air is getting a bit less cold as it comes in from the south, but still not particularly warm if you're stuck under the cloud and some pockets of rain. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: the shocking impact of knife crime on under 185. the number of children receiving treatment for knife wounds in the last four years has nearly doubled. theresa may heads back to brussels to persuade eu officials that a brexit deal can be tied down this week. new moves to end the conflict in yemen, as one charity estimates 85,000 children under five could have died from hunger since the war began.
5:58 am
good morning. around three million people juggle a job while caring for a loved one. so should employers do more to help them? after a nervy night at hampden park scotland are a step closer to euro 2020.
