with up with a set of documents where they are in the letters are the actual body of the agreement themselves who will appease those who don't want to see a backstop and those who want a seat for reassurance. this is all in the run—up to next week's crucial vote which the prime minister says will go ahead regardless. some people say the boat should be postponed again, others are talking about other it. this as those in parliament as they will return talk about there not backing it. this is about the article from the dup sang we will not backing that they stand at present. if you are theresa may you have a situation where the eu says this is the most you can do, we are not going to re—examine the tax, this is what you can address it, with side letters, to make it look like you are trying to address concerns. don't know if she is going to have done, that it will make a difference, don't know she will postpone debate all look to extend. she said yesterday, it is pretty unprecedented times asego what will

happen. prior to the previous vote she was adamant it will go ahead ——so she was adamant it will go ahead ——so you don't know. as you say, anything could happen. that is the difficulty for anyone running a company or thinking about starting a business. you are working in the area of venture capital. for those who are start—ups, this is so scary. goesin who are start—ups, this is so scary. goes in technology, especially, and those in business, you have heard a loss of business leaders come out and talk about this, they have had to make contingency plans anyway or they are ploughing ahead hoping that what they work on and are building will come out regardless of what happens in the macro climate. will come out regardless of what happens in the macro climatem will come out regardless of what happens in the macro climate. it is interesting times. the financial times, the other issue affecting business worldwide, this is the trade tariffs that are ongoing between the us and china. this financial times article talks about the pressure on both sides to see progress within this 90 day period

that they called last month between donald trump and xijinping. are you hopeful we will see progress? what are your thoughts about how this is going? i think there has been enough expectations set on this series of meetings this week that you will see some progress. you will see state m e nts some progress. you will see statements that make it look like there was a very productive conversation. like last month he might see the porsing of threats that were already voiced. you might see the extension of conciliatory language. there is definitely pressure on both countries. they we re pressure on both countries. they were stock market had its biggest drop in december that it had in almost the entire decade. the chinese economy is slowing down even faster than anybody anticipated. both sides have reason to see this go away or be addressed. both sides have great interest in saving face. the chinese have always wanted to go to events like this and to come out with winds or to say that they got some sort of concessions. 0bviously

donald trump is desperate for that or he will say he got it anyway. i think we will hear positive things. it is whether or not the rubber meets the road. if it was worse case scenario and donald trump was to go ahead with his threats of increasing caris from 10% to 25%, china retaliates, it could have a debilitating impact on the global economy “— debilitating impact on the global economy —— caris. it is not what the president wants. time will run very quickly into the 2020 election. he is in quickly into the 2020 election. he isina quickly into the 2020 election. he is in a difficult place, mystically as well. the us government is in a shutdown has lost control of the house. it is a challenging period. he needs to see some wins. in his to go back to boasting about how he backs positive markets and the like. and delivers economic growth, which is what he promised his voters. back to apple. this is the south china morning post. we talked about apple,

but what is your feeling about the other tech giants and the pressures they are facing, apple is saying we are going to sell less in this next quarter, is that true for everyone? i don't think this is true for everyone. i think it is probably more true for the high end devices, whether they are smart phones or television sets, you are seeing luxury products or those with the highest margins probably being affected the most. i think apple's woes are exacerbated by the fact there is strong chinese brands that are in positions above apple in the chinese market. they will see the most of it. at ces, there will be robotics, television, things you can wear, watches, augmented reality, all sorts of technology. it is a loss of concerts to try to get people excited about what is to come. we shall watch this space -- a loss of concepts. many others have this on the front page as well. the nhs faces £1 billion budget hole

despite cash boost. this is everybody‘s challenge, in developed economies, in the uk we have had the nhs for many years, the 70 year anniversary not that long ago, but it has to reinvent itself. the last big plan was in 2010. this is the next ten year plan. that is why everybody has been waiting for it. everyone is busily waiting for because we have not seen wait times at accident and emergency coming down. there is a question about what will happen and how we can continue to starve the nhs and hospitals. there is also a major shortfall in stuff —— continue to staff. there is a shortfall of around 100,000 nurses, doctors, and medical practitioners. brexit could make that more acute. even worse. everyone is looking to see what is the plan, what is the goal, the plan is brilliant, it talks about high—level goals, it talks about addressing a lot of areas that properly haven't been funded to the extent they needed in previous yea rs. extent they needed in previous years. you see a lot of emphasis on

mental health and things like dna screening and virtual rout —— technology for meetings. it catching things that happen in a very early stage so that the big spend on those seriously ill... comes down. that is the right thing. there is a lot about the right thing. there is a lot a bout lifestyle the right thing. there is a lot about lifestyle choices and helping people go on a plane. what is interesting is that most of this is away from hospital ——on a plan. it is talking about early screening and prevention. great in theory, always difficult to intimate these things. politics often get in the way on the jennifer scott let us talk about the golden globes. lots of amazing winners. fantastic for britain. the bodyguard, killing eve, iwatched both series. and bohemian rhapsody as well, which was a surprise, because many believe some of the other big, like the vice and others... or a star is born. a

we've got more energy coming in from the atlantic, a deep area of low pressure rushing to the north of scotland, that's beginning to pick up the winds for northern areas. still to the south, high pressure, a few breaks in the cloud means a chillier start here and maybe some fleeting sunshine. rain is moving southwards across scotland, northern ireland, into north—west england and north wales. then behind it, sunshine for northern ireland in the afternoon, scotland, away from the north and north—west, where it turns wet again and the winds continue to howl. should be a mild day, widely11—12 degrees. but that's not the story. it will be a windy day. windier than we have seen for quite some time. gales across scotland, gusts of 70 mph or more in northern scotland, that could lead to some travel disruption. but the real strength of the winds comes around the back of that deep area of low pressure, it stays very windy during the evening, the first part of the night, and then the low rushes away toward southern scandinavia and takes away the worst of the winds with it as well. but the wind direction

changes for tuesday, we get more of a north or north—westerly wind. that means it's going to be a bit colder. but it does mean there's more sunshine on the way. most places on tuesday will be dry with some sunny spells. we will see a few showers coming into north—eastern scotland, running down these north sea coasts into east anglia, where the winds could be touching gale force for a while. but lighter winds further west. however, temperatures are back into single figures for most areas. so it gets chilly overnight where we have the clearer skies in this central slice of the uk.

so a touch of frost early wednesday. more cloud keeps the temperatures up for eastern parts of england. it will feel cold in the wind, there'll be one of two showers on wednesday. out to the west, we've got this gradual encroachment of air from the atlantic, so that means cloudier skies. it means thickening cloud to bring rain and drizzle into northern ireland, later into western scotland. ahead of it, temperatures 11—5 degrees. probably the coldest day of this week. maybe a frosty start to the midlands, to the south—west of england, some sunshine for a while. you can see how the cloud is just spilling in on that north—westerly breeze. we're bringing in some milder air, yes, and temperatures of 9—10 degrees in scotland and northern ireland. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: half a million lives to be saved over ten years. nhs leaders say their new long—term plan will have more focus on prevention. a man will appear in court today charged with murdering a stranger on a train. lee pomeroy was killed in front of his teenage son. another year in the slow lane for the uk car industry. sales of new vehicles fell by 7% last year.
