participation in the $124 trillion dollar market back in 2017. and finally would you be prepared to sit on the floor of an aircraft whilst travelling back from holiday? a family of four had to sit on the floor during their birmingham—bound flight after vacationing in spain. the situation arose after the taylor family were told their pre—paid tickets were for seats that didn't physically exist. so let's begin with david buik, who's a market commentator at core spreads. telegraph is got its regular column from borisjohnson telegraph is got its regular column from boris johnson but telegraph is got its regular column from borisjohnson but people calling the brexit poll. mps, including the likes of dominic greene, has been incredibly active. he isa

greene, has been incredibly active. he is a real european and a true sense of the word. former conservative attorney general has been pushing for parliament to have its say in this entire process. what are they proposing this time? this whole episode is a farce. nobody has seen such skulduggery since 1843 and pollock rommel put out his goods and chattels. this is just pollock rommel put out his goods and chattels. this isjust one pollock rommel put out his goods and chattels. this is just one of many options because there is a consensus that tomorrow, even if the european union comes up with something of a backstop, it's not going to be sufficient to win a majority and even though two thirds of the mps are remain, this is not going to happen. therefore one of the options is the people's vote which people

like alistair campbell and other people have been promoting for weeks and weeks. you can understand why they are actually doing it but if they are actually doing it but if they are actually doing it but if they are successful, it will have a backlash. one of the things which disappoints me more than anything else is the relationship of society depending on which camp. the bile, the hatred and the generally attitude people have towards each other is extremely damaging. we need to think about this very carefully. what you think about this idea of a second brexit poll? regardless... you want to leave, that is where your stance was in 2016. i'm trying to look at this objectively. people are saying, you would say that. i wouldn't necessarily. there is no question the mood has changed. the

government has now lost control. the people have no say as far as i can see it in parliamentary control, with various factions that have come through, with sir vince cable and you have others in another area who wa nt to you have others in another area who want to make sure that there is no deal, the situation is out of the window and will not happen. therefore we are in a position where we have to sort out what we can. i don't like the idea of another vote, because we voted. if people felt they were conned, i really sorry because it was their duty as a citizen. sirjohn major wrote a brilliant article. what he didn't do: he virtually absolved remain from any responsibility. two defeats

last week in parliament. if he does not get his vote on tuesday, tomorrow, just give us your take, being a city veteran, having worked in the city for many years, what the reaction will be in terms of the pound, markets. is it all priced in? the city is geared up for an impasse. the pound is now at around 127. when you consider that one of the great market protagonists thinks brexit is not going to happen, he is taken a position whereby he thinks the pound will go some in the next few months. he thinks brexit is finished. i hope is wrong, but it is an option. the ftse has been a

foreign exchange place so far. if the pound is around 127, the ftse... the small and medium—sized companies. that is come a bit off. but even the top echelon is a 250, a lot of overseas businesses involved in europe and the united states. the guardian says the eu is ready to delay brexit. it talks about delaying things until july. delay brexit. it talks about delaying things untiljuly. is that a better idea? breathing space, more time? i think it's an option. it's not what i would choose because if it agreed to do something, we prevaricated for so long over this. the most torturous 2.5 years. if we'd seen a much more positive approach with the government, it is very hard, you know, to have a

remain cabinet delivering a brexit mandate when your heart is not really in it. it wasn't all remain. borisjohnson was in there with us. there were some very strong brexit is in the cabin. -- brexit supporters. the fact is, there was no unanimity of purpose. let's just what happened. shall we move on? we can go on this forever. in the uk, it is what we are discussing a blank. let's look at other stories. mike pompeo, the us secretary of state, this is what he has been telling leaders. this is all to do with qatar, it's been going on for yea rs. with qatar, it's been going on for years. the uae, bahrain, saudi

arabia, there have been at loggerheads with qatar who are alleged to extol the virtues of extremism and other bits and pieces. the middle east as a possible potboiler. i agree with mike pompeo that in order to put their differences behind them, trading with them, dealing with them, dealing with various other bits and pieces would be so much easier and it would be in the interests of the world if it were to happen. let's look at this story about china. very interesting. this is the financial times looking at the fact that visa and mastercard, their attempts enter foreign car payment groups has been thwarted and financial services "for in china. on international markets. the devil is in the detail. this is

pa rt the devil is in the detail. this is part of the issue. you mentioned how big the market is. when you actually go back to how liberal china has become, and what's been achieved in last 40 years has been quite amazing. it's quite extraordinary. there are still huge protectionism. how cani there are still huge protectionism. how can i put it, even though i am clock and eyebrow donald trump's antics, he is right that china has been extracting things vigorously. it's called protectionism. the union has 36% of the market, mastercard and visa say, can i come and play in your ball park and they say no. that's not right. if you want to be international, you've got to do that. you see that with amazon and alibaba. that. you see that with amazon and aliba ba. aliba ba that. you see that with amazon and alibaba. alibaba has a huge market, enormous, but if these markets are

international, let them be international. this poor family having to sit the most of their flight having to sit the most of their flight on the plane. civil aviation authority saying, they will look into this. i would have had the biggest fuss imaginable made and the plane would not have taken off. biggest fuss imaginable made and the plane would not have taken offlj think it's dangerous. if you drop 10,000 feet, everybody hits the ceiling, you are finished. the mind boggles. david, lovely to have you with us. hello again. it's been a mild winter so far and one thing we've not seen a great deal of is snow. however, over the last few hours, behind this cold front, we have seen some snow showers push in across shetland, so if you're heading outside over the next few hours, you might see more of these coming and going. there will be some clear spells between, and a cold wind.

in scotland, it will be cold enough for patches of frost to develop but otherwise, there is too much wind around, too much cloud and still a few showers too. so it's not especially cold for england and wales and northern ireland — temperatures for most between 6 and 8 degrees celsius for the early risers. that takes us into the first part of monday morning, and still a lot of cloud around, still some passing showers. probably some sunshine for scotland but a frosty start here before thicker cloud works in from the west and we'll start to see some rain arriving. also we'll see some of that rain getting into shetland. the mildest weather across western and southern parts, temperatures into double figures, but noticeably cooler across eastern parts of the uk, with temperatures 3 in lerwick and 5 in aberdeen. the cold weather, though, doesn't last long. a warm front pushes through during monday night and then for tuesday, we've got this slow—moving, wiggling weather front targeting western scotland, bringing some heavy rain to the highlands. here, we could see around 50—100mm of rain up over the mountains — it is going to be quite a wet spell of weather. elsewhere, a lot of cloud, a few limited bright or sunny spells, but it's milder. temperatures for most of us between 10 and 11 degrees celsius. notice those temperatures

coming up in shetland, so the threat of any snow receding with that milder weather arriving. through tuesday night, our slow—moving weather front is still there, bringing rain in scotland, will eventually push southwards, bringing the wet weather from scotland into northern ireland, across parts of england and wales as well. now, to the south of our weather front, which is the cold front that continues to move in during wednesday. we should see still some reasonable temperatures in the south with highs expected to reach about 10 celsius or so, but noticeably colder further north — cold enough for some hill snow there across northern parts of scotland temperatures into single figures. that colder air continues its journey southwards wednesday night and by thursday, we've got the winds coming down from the arctic. with that comes a lot of dry weather and sunshine, but it will be cold with a sharp

frost and there will be showers around as well. those showers are likely to be wintry with some snow showers coming into the north of mainland scotland and we could see an odd little bit of sleet in the showers down the north sea coast as well. a cold day then. temperatures between 3 and 7 degrees celsius. that's your latest weather. goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: no deal or no brexit. theresa may makes a last—ditch attempt to persuade mps to back her plan just one day before the crucial common's vote. five more people are killed, as parts of europe continue to grapple with the worst winter weather for 30 years. woodburning stoves are under fire as the government unveils a new plan to tackle air pollution. good morning. big pub chains have been bucking the trend, with a 3% increase in sales last year. why are they thriving when restaurants are closing? i'll be finding out. we're waiting for a moment in tennis history,
