he is addressing the nation, calling a crisis of the soul that he is not going as far as saying it is a national emergency. —— she's regular. no, and you know, it was very interesting, he could do that. he was very presidential, he clearly stuck to the script, not something he does very often. use all kinds of fa cts , he does very often. use all kinds of facts, when he said something, the bbc had the fact nicely on the side. the fact checker. yeah, the fact checker. he called it an emergency, he put it up to more than india's. and as your guest from the wilson institute said earlier in this show, the things that he is object into, which is the drugs, the crime, well, the drugs come into other ports of entry mainly, the airports, the ports. —— it is. this is not a

cost—effective way, it he wants 500 million. chuck schumer says it could cost as much as $70 billion, as early as yesterday. it was very interesting to see the very measured response and the democrats, both chuck schumer, the ranking democrat in the senate, and the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. they basically said look, we need to move on and you are harming the country are shutting down the government, and this is the longest government shutdown in the history the united states. it is indeed an politico unpacks that a little bit comic talks about how 800,000 federal workers are not going to get their pay cheque on the 15th of january and it is impacting all sorts of divisions. and last time the government shut down in 2013, it cost the economy 20 billion jobs and it was... $20 billion, and there

we re it was... $20 billion, and there were a hundred jobs that could have been created that were not created. according to who? that was according to the congressional research centre, so that is a very robust bodies. gives you a sense of the long—term shut down the government —— long—term impact of government shut down because we tend to think about it when it is happening but actually, it does have an impact on the economy for a while. let's move on then, the arab news. we contribute to that paper regularly. the turkish president erdogan, it says erdogan blast serious mistake the us over protection for syrian kurds. you would not expecting to say anything else, would you? no, you would not, and i can see both here. the turkey, the whole kurdish issueis here. the turkey, the whole kurdish issue is a problem of territorial integrity of the country. —— for turkey. just explain the background

for viewers who do not fully understand. turkey as a country which has a lot of turks but then on the eastern side, there is a lot of kurds in there, and you have kurds in iraq, you have kurds in syria, you have kurt zouma rahman, and they all think, you know, they all couude all think, you know, they all collude together. —— kurds in irani. -- in iran. collude together. —— kurds in irani. —— in iran. they are worried that the kurds if they get too strong might succeed from the country. the us, the west, and germany have made a mistake, and obviously to fight daesh, isis, it was important to work with whoever you could and ypg, the kurdish militia are very strong and very good fighters, but they probably should have consulted before they did it, that is we are

going back 2013, whatever, 2014, they should have consulted the turks more than they did before they did it. so in a typical western, american, british, french manner, they went in and did what they thought was right without really consulting the stakeholders around. and as a consequence, now that the us is not pulling out its military in the way that president trump said it would, his surprise announcement, which of course has not changed, but that has of course brought this to the attention of everybody and this is president erdogan‘s moment to talk about the fact that it was all dealt with so poorly. yes, absolutely. what does mean going forward 7 absolutely. what does mean going forward? the current state of the ypg, the kurdish militia, it is that the turks will just ypg, the kurdish militia, it is that the turks willjust go in there and slaughter them. —— the current worry

of. they have actually gone to the syrian, the enemy, to ask for protection. this situation is escalating in not such a good way, but what i thought was good was that the spokesperson and adviser to erdogan met with bolton and he also met the chairman of thejoint chiefs of staff ‘s in the us, and he also met with the nt daesh tsar. —— anti. let's not take a look at the i. mps revealed death threats, via this they have been facing. all women and one black mp in the —— one black mp. in the middle, anna soubry,

revealing the harassment she has faced this week. it is really shocking, isn't it? it shows one thing, it shows how incredibly divisive this whole brexit debate is and how it gets under the skin of the political dean of the country. what happened to our country? we used to stand for stability, this is not stability. no, absolutely not, and we will have more on that later. let's talk about the world bank, we have discussed and unpacked their prognosis for the world in 2020 that this article on bloomberg is talking aboutjim yong kim, the head of the world bank, he is announcing he is going to go much earlier than expected. in february. is moving to the private sector, he feels it can get more done especially in the area of the environment and climate change. —— he is. of the environment and climate change. -- he is. a disagree with him toa change. -- he is. a disagree with him to a certain extent, later —— firstly, he puts the institution

into a crisis because he is living mid—term, and secondly, he says he can do more to help build infrastructure, the world bank does build infrastructure, yes it is soft infrastructure, but it does education and so on. he seldom misses again because the world bank are among the most, have the most stringent criteria on environmental protection. if it was not the world bank, the environment protection in the developing world would look a lot worse. and asking the question, is it time to give up on the world bank? absolutely not. if the menu is running it is not believe in it, then we do we go from here? absolutely not. it is a very important institution. we said before the global french or crisis we should give up on the imf and then we realised we could not give up then we realised we could not give up on the imf, but i am a public biased, i spent a great amount of my

time in my career in development banks, and development bank. the daily telegraph, prisoners cells may be renamed rooms, this is all part of rehabilitation. this is all very good, you get rid of the buyers. they seem to recall that towards the end of last year, they were all these horrific reports coming out on how underfunded and unsafe prisons are. so while this is nice cosmetics, don't we have some more important issues to address first? i am notan important issues to address first? i am not an expert, it isjust a question. so ui development bank and when it comes to the prison system, you have not got the inside track, is that what you are telling me? absolutely. thank you so much for joining us on the briefing this morning, it has been really great to see you. thank you too for your comments. keep them coming. join the debate. hello there. high tides combined with brisk winds to give a little bit of coastal

flooding across some parts of eastern england on tuesday. there were some showers as well, you can see the way these speckled shower clouds were racing from north to south, blown along on those strong winds. and the winds will still be quite brisk across the east on wednesday, still quite a few isobars, white lines on the chart. further west, high pressure builds in, the winds fall lighter. but we do have a weak frontal system into the north—west. that'll bring some cloud and some patchy rain, but it will also usher in some slightly milder air. so this is how we start wednesday morning. quite windy, particularly in the east. those winds feeding some showers into eastern coasts of england. for many places, we're looking at a dry day, with some good spells of sunshine. but cloud will be thickening all the while for northern ireland and the western side of scotland, and here, we will see some patchy rain as that warm front starts to push its way in, but temperatures will start to rise. nine degrees there in stornoway. a little bit chillier from aberdeen down to glasgow, but here, we'll hold onto some brightness. northern ireland clouding over as the day wears on. and then across england and wales, many places fine with some sunshine. temperatures of five to eight

degrees but it will be quite windy, particularly in the east. that wind feeding some showers into eastern coastal areas, and also making it feel a little bit colder than those temperatures suggest. but as we go through wednesday night, you can see on the map more cloud toppling south eastwards, but also milder air with it. so a frost on thursday morning, likely to be confined to north—west england, the midlands, wales, and down towards the south—west. most other places will be starting thursday above freezing, but it will be pretty cloudy for most of us. where we have that chilly start in the south, that's where we're likely to have the best of the sunshine through the day. north—east england and north—east scotland also doing quite well for brightness and sunshine. but elsewhere, a lot of cloud, maybe the odd spot of drizzle, still quite chilly in the south, but those temperatures climbing across north—western parts of the uk. and more and more of us see that milder air spreading in as we get on into friday. still large slabs of cloud floating around, some spells of sunshine as well, and temperature wise, we're looking at highs of eight to 10 degrees.

now, as we head towards the start of the weekend, an area of low pressure is going to pass just to the north of the british isles. this frontal system bringing some outbreaks of rain in northern areas on friday night, into the first part of saturday, but that will tend to clear away, actually, leaving us with a lot of dry weather through the weekend. it will be fairly mild, fairly windy as well, and there is the chance of some rain at times in the north. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: the military is called in to help at heathrow airport after drone sightings temporarily grounded flights. a 14—year—old boy is stabbed to death after his moped crashed into a car in east london. a ban on unsolicited calls, texts and e—mails a campaign to make electronic appliances easier to fix, rather than let them go to waste.
