an online consent box. the guardian says global carbon emissions which will jump to a record high in 2018, according to a un climate report. the results dashed hopes of a plateau of recent years would continue to be maintained. accrdong to scientists, emissions are now heading in the opposite direction to the deep cuts urgently needed in order to fight climate change. and in keeping with helping the environment, the times asks why not hire a christmas tree this december? customers at a farm shop in the uk can now choose a tree and instead of throwing it away after the festivities they can return it so it can replanted and then hired again by another family next year. the sharing economy. i don't know, just different innovative ideas to help the planet. with me is dr stephanie hare, who's an independent analyst. theresa may urged to call off the
5:46 am
brexit vote. those in her party, who is said to be saying to her, let's delay this vote. it sounds like brexit could be the grinch that stole christmas. the government could collapse just before the holidays, that's fine. many are advising her. we are today is into five days of debate and we are hearing so clearly in parliament the voice is saying, all the reasons why they do not believe this withdrawal deal she has cut with the eu is viable, the right answer, etc et cetera. it does not look good. viable, the right answer, etc et cetera. it does not look goodm has been the case all the way through. the year ago we were having this conversation and everyone saying the irish that stop would
5:47 am
make sure we would not have a hard border. that was fixed and we could proceed with the negotiations and here we are a year later and that is that the dealbreaker. the full legal advice given to the cabinet yesterday was put out in the public arena and it showed in a stark way what that backstop would mean, it could mean we are in a customs union foran could mean we are in a customs union for an indefinite period of time without the ability to have a say. it is something out of dante. it is a really the tricky thing. does theresa may have support within her party or could we see a leadership challenge? it is not have to be over this vote what will she be able to carry this through? parliament was holding the government in contempt
5:48 am
and had to force the publication of that document. now the reason lack of confidence from mps. besides aren't good. we go through every twist and turn, whether all viewers like it or not. the new york times, facebook using data to favour certain partners and punish rivals. this is a facebook being forced to tell us what they are up to. this is an extraordinary story. the uk parliament forced the publication of these documents. damian collins sent a sergeant in arms to a hotel and got a us citizen to hand over data relating to a legal case adjudicated in california. already that is intense. i cannot emphasise that enough. those documents were sealed,
5:49 am
facebook did not want them published. the uk has forced their hand. we have learned that facebook has deliberately tried to design it so has deliberately tried to design it so that it is hard to users to give consent about how to use a shared data there is and their friends. we note that facebook always says that are not sell your data but what they do is pay to play, they reward certain people with access to their platforms. it is effectively the same thing. developers, organisations... not individuals... companies who will be sharing data. they white list companies who are given favourable treatment and that becomes, because it is so dominant, it is like they are a market maker. this could see calls for anti—trust. the calls to break up facebook could
5:50 am
accelerate as a result of this. it shows that the power that they have to make or rate certain companies and normally we tried to fight that. it is not fair play. exactly. interesting to see who they see as a threat, as a rival, as a possible partner. twitter is seen as a threat, which is not a surprise. but netflix and airbnb as suitable partners. it goes back to this wider story about data. what is the mail saying they will reveal today? they are basically saying privacy is dead and it is pretty shocking. i am shocked by the children's voice recordings. companies using your data. faced, —— facebook we are aware of that but other companies,
5:51 am
what is it that the mail is saying is going on? legislators have not passed laws to restrict what data can be kept, what data can be traded on how it can be used to power regulators to come after these companies. farming women's due date is largely invasive. tesco, for example, their loyalty scheme is so widely used and the data collection is usually significant and valuable. it isa is usually significant and valuable. it is a cybersecurity honeypot. the richer the data, the more lucrative to steal. what is the answer? is this just the price we pay for the
5:52 am
free use of facebook, google. we freely use this social media every day. should we accept the fact that, asa day. should we accept the fact that, as a consequence, they are using our information all the time or should we be fighting them? we have had this sort of experimental phase, piloting this business model that you can have our data and we get a bunch of stuff for free but the people who take your data, the rat third parties trading. —— there. they should be legislated. it is putting all of us at risk now. they acknowledge that they cannot put your data secure. hacks stealing your data secure. hacks stealing
5:53 am
your data. if you do not take the data in the first place, there is nothing to steal. the way they are getting around it is the way they have this pop—up messages were you scroll quickly to the bottom... it is not really concerned. in the guardian, and we have been covering this as well, this is such a depressing news. we thought we were progressing but we are not, it is actually getting worse. renault signs of coal use, the number of ca rs signs of coal use, the number of cars on the road, emissions in china, the us and india are near flat. there is a sign of hope there. but it is not great, we do not have a lot of flex in the system. the clock is ticking fast. if we do not hit these targets, we will see more and more extreme weather events at and more extreme weather events at an catastrophic reactions within the

planet. let's talk about about how we can take action. families renting a tree. i love this. you can do at the up to ten years. you can read your christmas tree and when you are done with it, you can replant it. they can take it with your details and have it back the next year. for the next decade. it is wonderful. good to see it, thanks for coming in and thank you all for your comments. go to the debate with our hashtag. i will see you soon, bye—bye. hello. whilst wednesday brought a mild day to the southern half of the uk, across scotland it did remain very chilly. today we're going to even out
5:55 am
the temperatures somewhat, but along with that change we will bring in quite a few showers for a time and a blustery wind to boot. the reason for the change, this area of low pressure approaching from the atlantic. and by the end of the night it will already be starting to try and push some milder airfurther north into scotland. there mayjust be a few icy patches in the far north—east. so for first thing, out temperatures to the south in double figures already and the milder air will continue to work its way further north as the morning goes on. it will though be a blustery rush hour. and as you can see, underneath this rain here behind me is scotland. many areas seeing a pretty wet picture at 8am. some heavier downpours pushing through the borders. quite a wet story across northern ireland too. ahead of that rain, well, a dry but cloudy picture for northern england, the midlands, east anglia and the south—east. but the showers already starting to approach the south—west of england and wales. in the white arrows there we saw your sustained windspeed but the gusts will be higher and overall we're shaping up for a blustery day from top to tail across the uk. scotland should see skies
5:56 am
clearing for the afternoon. some sunshine possible here. and certainly a milder day than we had on wednesday, temperatures into double figures for glasgow and edingburgh. to the south more clouds and showers and highs of 13 or 14 degrees. so very much on the mild side once again. through thursday evening, most of the rain subsides but then we tip over into the early hours of friday and things start to get very lively once again. overnight thursday into friday, this beast starts to swing in from the atlantic. it wil bring a spell of heavy rain. but that is not the biggest problem. the rain actually for many will clip out of the way very quickly first thing friday. aside from scotland, where you, unfortunately, get the worst of both worlds. you will still have the heavy rain first thing on friday but you will also though have some very strong winds, gusting 60 to 70 miles per hour. perhaps in the odd spot of exposure up to 80 miles per hour. that will be enough to cause some disruption.
5:57 am
and the rian keeps pushing in here during the day and, yes, white on the chart across the mountains, we are likely to see some snow. further south, some scattered showers towards the west, but many eastern areas windy, yes, but mild and perhaps more in the way of sunshine than we will do on thursday. 0nto the weekend, and the prospects are for things to gradually become drier for all. the winds will start to ease a little too and change direction. things turning chillier by the time we get into next week. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: an end to tv gambling adverts during live sporting events. britain's leading betting firms sign up. new rights for those detained under mental health laws, as a major review says the current system is outdated. it isa it is a momentous few days for brexit. i am on the irish borderfor opinions ahead of next week's
