against technology giants who the paper says should face a statutory duty of care to protect children from online harm due to the "lawless wild west" of the internet. on the bbc news website, fashion retailers such as amazon, tk maxx and missguided have been described by the environmental audit committee as being among the "least engaged" in sustainable fashion and labour market initiatives. and finally the french may find little to celebrate on hearing the news that there may be evidence that champagne was invented by the english. pierre—emmanuel taittinger, the boss of taittinger champagne, said the drink originally came about accidentally when still english wines were left in cold conditions on london docks that became so cold so they started undergoing a second fermentation causing bubbles to form inside the bottles. if you're watching in chicago put your wine on the driver. we have

jane foley with us. senior fx strategist in a rabobank. the irish times, it is talking about eu officials going to dublin next week to get ireland ready for a no deal. i would assume they have already thought about this in ireland will stop they have thought this through. indeed. i have spoken to a lot of customers in the food and agriculture side and they have been worried about this for the past few yea rs. worried about this for the past few years. a worried about this for the past few yea rs. a loss worried about this for the past few years. a loss of irish exports come straight to the uk, it is their largest export partner that a lot of. they are concerned. particularly the food and agriculture produces a food indeed. it is not as they're concerned, we food indeed. it is not as they're concerned , we are food indeed. it is not as they're concerned, we are concerned in the united kingdom. our authorities, concerned, we are concerned in the united kingdom. ourauthorities, we have been told by the prime minister, have been preparing for every single eventuality. there is not a queue of trucks and massive tailbacks and huge delay is, but the question is, we don't know, do we, we have never been here before. it is absolutely uncharted territory.

that is true. there is plenty of research that the press have reported on that they could be quite long queues built up injust a period of a few days if there is something like a 92nd delay for each drop. yesterday i was speaking to a dutch koster sporting into the uk produce that there is quite quickly and really quite concerned —— a dutch exporter. they worried about empty shelves for our customers here. this article talking about how the european commission is sending teams to ireland to help them prepare. we don't know either when theresa may is headed to brussels, the negotiations. the hope is for many that this is not what happens on march 29th. for almost everybody this is the hope from all sides. it is interesting, this newspaper report, it says that there will be the option of a softening on the irish stars on the back stop would be discussed when the officials are

in ireland. we saw the irish leader talking theresa may yesterday. and the paper is talking about a hardening of positions, a frosty position now. all the irish and the other members of the eu waiting for theresa may coupled with alternative proposals. we will watch this space and we will talk about it daily. let us and we will talk about it daily. let us look at the gulf news and the business pages. looking at stocks steady as apple greef offsets brexit. now they are claiming nicely. rowen powell hinting that future rate rises are now off the table. this is possibly the best they could have expected from the fed. in december they hiked interest rates. the middle of last year the market was aggressively expecting the fed to carry on a hike in interest rates because of the year. now they have said no. there have

been several fed members, some of the hawkish ones even, suggesting there were ready for a pause, so it is not a complete surprise. they have really steadied the markets was nerves and the same respect to apple a few weeks ago. there were warnings from apple of our revenue. this was taken as an metaphor for global demand. they talked about chinese demand. they talked about chinese demand slowing. and the results that came out from apple yesterday, yes, they said that revenue slowdown, but there was real shock. what is the general feeling about the outlook. at the beginning of the year they said there was a shock reaction for financial markets. it was pretty torrid. they saw sharp declines. there is a partial shutdown in the united states. i know brexit is not out of the way by any means. some of the big issues around the world. we have the us china trade dispute. we still have the dispute ongoing,

european czar, for instance, worried that if china does decide to import more us goods being european exporters could suffer. we have big organisations, the oecd, imf, lowering expectations for growth. at the market has had more time now to get used to some of these headlines. and if it is reacting. this is good in so faras and if it is reacting. this is good in so far as less interest—rate hikes. and stocks like apple, facebook, others, they have been sold off heavily since october last year, they are coming out with stronger earnings. people willjust phailin. yesil. we move the daily telegraph, facing duty of care for children. talking about how tech giants should face a statutory duty of care to protect children from online harm, describing online as an" all is wild west of the web". this is on the back of the ofcom report this week that showed that

children's use of the internet, youtube, these kind of channels is rising sharply. and some parents are not that aware of what they are watching. it can be quite difficult. i have teenage children. it can be difficult to monitor them closely. they very clever. they are cleverer than. they are very agile. i put up a barrier and they found a way around it. you don't know if they arejust around it. you don't know if they are just showing you what they want you to see. this will be a relief to all parents. it is horrific the language the mps used, notjust a lawless wild web, but social media can help facilitate online sexual abuse, they took in about bullying, body image, loss of sleep, and self—harm. it is a relief that finally there may be in the future some sort of regulation that does help to deal with this content. we say there may be in the future. i feel like we have had this conversation for years. we had the

young girl, tragically, last week taking her own life. i do feel, we talk a lot about regulation facebook and others, when will it happen and how does it work? how was it let us move on. fast fashion. we had views from our viewers on this. jd sports, sports direct, many brands that turn out fashion very quickly. it is quite cheap. some of it isn't. jd sports isn't. i have boys who like it. it is tricky, isn't it? it is a difficult one. it is a difficult one. it is worth mentioning that sometimes were very good. the firms most invested. it is across price. the ones most engaging used organic cotton or sustainable cotton or encouraged customers to recycle old clothes. i have seen that more in retail outlets. there is a loss of

work to be done, clearly, and this is about educating the consumer as well and having choices about where they shop and what they do that met a lot of. consumers, we are more aware than we have ever been when it comes to ethical buying. there is much more demand for that kind of purchase. it just much more demand for that kind of purchase. itjust depends on who the consumer is. many of these brands, they are very young people, and their budgets are not as big as pa rents. their budgets are not as big as parents. it is difficult. we move onto champagne, invented by english, apparently. it was. he said it was related to benedictine monks. the cheaper wines were left on the dockside in the uk. they got very cold and they underwent a second fermentation process. this could start a new argument between the french and the english. the argument says the english may have discovered by mistake, but it was the french that really turned it into the really high—quality produce it is

today. absolutely. it is a funny story. our viewers can read more about that. but when it comes to the champagne region, i don't think it is under threat by any means. no, but there are more english winegrowers now in the country. this is related to climate and the good soil. we have similar soil across the south of england as they do in champagne. yes, globalwarming and the consequences. jain, thank you very much. great to have you with us on the briefing. thank you for your company. semi good comments are fast fashion what we can do in the future. i will see you later. thank you. goodbye. hello there. we've got a potentially disruptive snowy spell of weather on the way. we've got very cold air locked in place and an area of low pressure developing over the atlantic.

and it's a perfect breeding ground for a snow event as this moisture moves in across the country, bumps into the cold air — some of us are likely to see some pretty heavy sleet and snow through thursday into friday. so of course some yellow warnings are in force for snow, ice, and also the risk of freezing fog overnight through thursday into friday, it's likely to cause some disruption so stay tuned to bbc local radio and keep tuned to subsequent weather forecasts. but we start this morning on a very cold note, largely clear skies. so many places will be dry. a few wintry showers continue across the north of scotland. we'll also see some freezing fog patches developing. something else to watch out for. we could be looking at temperatures as low as —12 to —15 celsius in some of the scottish glens. so we could have ice and also risk of freezing fog to start this morning. but, on the plus side, plenty of crisp winter sunshine. now, things start to go downhill across the south—west of england across wales and that weather system arrives, initially bringing rain and turning increasingly to snow across this part of the country. further north and east it should be relatively dry. the sunshine continuing. but it will be a cold day with increasing easterly winds. now this sleet and snow will gather force and become more widespread, pushing northwards and eastwards all the while through thursday

evening and overnight. some heavy snow likely across the downs of the south—east into the midlands and certainly across southern and eastern parts of wales. by early friday this is the lying snow, a map. we could be looking at significant accumulations across parts of wales, the south—west, and the south downs, 1—4 centimetres to lower levels. a lot more than that further north. so a significant risk of ice through friday night. rain, sleet, and snow will continue to fall, become lighter and patchier, but it'll still continue to accumulate in places. we'll see wintry showers across the north—east of england and further wintry showers across the north of scotland. it's going to be a very cold night again, a significant risk of ice.

now, our area of low pressure gives to migrate southwards, taking its weather fronts with it. so we'll start to see a slow improvement across the south of the country. but we could still see some rain, sleet, and snow continue for a while throughout friday. this easterly breeze will bring more wintry showers into eastern england and eastern scotland, further wintry showers across the north of scotland. but in between we should see plenty of sunshine around, but that really won't do much for the temperatures. it is going to be another cold day. but stay tuned to the weather forecast. good morning. welcome to breakfast, with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: 20,000 more physios, pharmacists and paramedics. the nhs sets out its plan to help under—pressure gps cut waiting times. social media bans and curfews — the latest weapons in the police's fight against knife crime. in sport: liverpool freeze in the premier league. they miss the chance to go seven points clear as they draw with leicester on a cold

night at anfield. at least seven people have died in the us as arctic conditions send temperatures plumeting to below —30 celsius. good morning. we havejust had the cold est good morning. we havejust had the coldest night of the winter so far, with temperatures falling
