facebook and twitter did appear and admitted their mistakes. now it's mr pichai's turn, and he shouldn't expect an easy ride. and finally, as we near the end of 2018, time magazine will announce its person of the year. they've published a shortlist of ten, included are donald trump, robert mueller, christine blasey ford and meghan markle. we will look at that list. with me is priya lakhani, founder and ceo of century tech, a uk based education technology platform. nice to see you and so much to talk about. i do not think we will get through all these! in france, president with a new deal. he's really trying to appease those struggling. he is seen as an elitist

president by many. one of the first things he brought in was the wealth tax. there are many in france who seem as tax. there are many in france who seem as an tax. there are many in france who seem as an elitist. he has put all of these measures now, such as increasing minimal wage, of these measures now, such as increasing minimalwage, reversal of these measures now, such as increasing minimal wage, reversal of a pension charge so he is trying to appeal to the masses. a pension charge so he is trying to appealto the masses. my immediate thought is, how will they pay for all that and they say this will come from government cough is. they are not particularly deep at the moment though. —— coffers. this is him desperately trying to win back the majority. he did get a big majority when he ran for president. majority. he did get a big majority

when he ran for presidentm majority. he did get a big majority when he ran for president. it is just the way things have turned upon him but he has declared this is a state and economic emergency. he is rescuing his presidency. this unrest we have seen for the best part of a month in paris and other cities parrot france, it was not organised by one particular union but it was well spread. they have got tax changes, policy changes and that is a pretty incredible. i was in brussels and we were stopped because people were protesting. if they see change occurs, they will be encouraged. we talk about brexit, all the papers have this all over the front pages for good reason. bloomberg talks about the canon being kicked down the road. quite a

scathing report of what happened. you feel the frustration in the financial. right now, i am thinking it was less of a political game than doing the right thing for the country. isn't that the political game? the elected members of parliament doing theirjob and not saying ok to deal they felt was not good for the nation. it could be but the sum, why would jeremy corbyn not trigger an ocean of no confidence because he is waiting for the prime minister to be at her weakest. the date she is going to see angela merkel, jean—claude juncker, but they are saying they will not negotiate. will she get some sort of

side letter? she is the most determined prime minister i have seen determined prime minister i have seen since the day i was born and she wants to see this deal go through. whatever she can get in terms of assurances s0 through. whatever she can get in terms of assurances so she can get enough votes to get this through in january. what do you want to happen? i wish this had never happened in the first place. i want a united country but that is very idealistic. a united country leaving europe? most agreeing we are divided.“ a united country leaving europe? most agreeing we are divided. if we end up even with people cite, we will have a lot of angry people. —— vote. no matter which way we go, there will be unhappy people and in two yea rs' there will be unhappy people and in two years' time if we end up with a backstop kicking into place, you can

imagine how many people will be upset with that. in terms of running a business, iwant upset with that. in terms of running a business, i want certainty. a third of my people do not know what is going to happen because they are european, they are engineers. i am not saying that iraq not enough people in the uk but —— there are not. interesting to get you take with what is going on with huawei and the chief financial officer meng wanzhou who and the chief financial officer meng wa nzhou who is and the chief financial officer meng wanzhou who is fighting for her freedom, as it were. the china they are walking as serious tightrope and it brings to the fore one of the main issues and reasons why the white house is at odds with china in terms of trade. this is further strain on the relationship. the us alleging she conspired to use a

subsidiary buying millions of dollars into or on which violate us laws. they have arrested her while changing planes in canada. this relationship is just getting worse and worse. they had the trade wars, this sort of pause and suddenly this happens and this affects us tech companies. however we resolve these, what then happens to relations and these tech giants in the us who rely ona these tech giants in the us who rely on a really strong relationship with china. the ramifications and ripple effect a pretty huge for apple and technology companies but at the same time the us is saying these guys are not playing by the rules and if they

are violating sanctions we cannot turn a blind eye or can they?” are violating sanctions we cannot turn a blind eye or can they? i do not think you can turn a blind eye to it. the law is pretty strict when it comes down to the us and iraq. the point is that this is a wider diplomatic issue and this is just one of the pieces. which is why the market has reacted so strongly. sundar pichai, the chief executive of google is in the chat today. it was an empty chair last on which was quite amusing. this is very much before handing control to the house of representatives to the democrats, the game to look at political bias as the essential issue. accusations of google skewing search results

towards the democrats. google wants towards the democrats. google wants to go back into china, having left china, it is called project dragonfly. from the last couple of stories, you can imagine how that will go. i would like to see what the questions that are like. sometimes when the questions were asked people seemed not to understand how tech companies work. it will depend on how intelligent the questions. i think you will do just fine. he has held lots of meetings with republicans behind closed doors. the time person of the year will be announced today. last year will be announced today. last year it was the #metoo movement. this year, when you look at the nominations, donald trump, vladimir

putin, robert mueller, christine blasey ford, who became a symbol of survivors of sexual assault by making allegations against brett kavanaugh making allegations against brett kava naugh who then making allegations against brett kavanaugh who then became a judge on the supreme court. meghan markle isn't there! i actually hope that christine blasey ford does not disappear. the meat... you have personally experienced it once a month? sexual harassment? absolutely. recent occurrences are very fresh in my mind and raw. christine blasey ford, that dominated the news. i cannot wait to see dominated the news. i cannot wait to see the results of these on

wednesday. meghan markle? she is not your first choice but she has dominated this year. what is the correct era? i initially also like raikkonen, 32—year—old director of black panther. —— brian. raikkonen, 32—year—old director of black panther. —— brianlj raikkonen, 32—year—old director of black panther. -- brian. i like the black panther. -- brian. i like the black panther. -- brian. i like the black panther. more than 2000 families separated at the us border with the trump immigration policy. interesting that donald trump is also on this list. we shall see. thank you for your company and have a really good day. hello. as we go through the week that temperatures dropping

across the country. on tuesday, quite cloudy for most of us and chilly first thing in the morning, particularly in eastern areas. the cloud not shifting a lot in the next day or so. a lot of cloud across the uk on tuesday but clearer skies in the north of scotland. some eastern areas as well. temperatures around freezing but most major town and cities to the west and south 12 degrees.. a bit of sunshine but the bulk of the country will be pretty cloudy with some light rain or drizzle here and there. coldest in the east. good morning, welcome to breakfast. i'm naga munchetty, live at westminster, where parliament is reeling from theresa may's decision to delay

the crucial vote on her brexit deal. it is clear that, while they risk roared support for many of the key aspects of the deal, on one issue, on one issue, the northern ireland backstop, there remains widespread and deep concern. today, the prime minister will appeal to eu leaders in a bid to rescue her plan. we will untangle what it means and what happens next. and i'm in derby, to find out whether locals think polticians can
