it accuses eu council prsident donald tusk of twisting the knife again into britain's bid to leave europe after he allegedly told uk prime minister theresa may that uk labour leaderjeremy corbyn‘s new plan for brexit ‘could be a way out of the current impasse‘. the times leads with a warning (ani) from the bank of england that the economy would grow this year at its slowest rate since the financial crash a decade ago. the bank slashed its growth forecast and cautioned that there was a one—in—four chance of recession by the summer. meanwhile the ft says a secret group at the heart of the uk government is drawing up plans to kickstart the british economy in the event of a no—deal brexit, with options ranging from cutting taxes and slashing tariffs. on the front of the guardian, social media giant instagram has announced that it will ban all graphic self—harm images as part of a series of changes made in response to the death of the british teenager molly russell. and finally the old saying,

"drink a beer before wine and you will feel fine" has found itself on skay ground following scientific scrutiny. researchers from the university of cambridge have found no statistical difference in the discomfort ratings people gave their hangovers whilst consuming wine and beer in anuy particular order. at least 5% of us will throw up but we haven't one way or another. with me is oliver cornock who's editor—in—chief oxford business group. let's start with these comments in the daily mail. these comments that donald tusk said that he would back thejeremy donald tusk said that he would back the jeremy corbyn donald tusk said that he would back thejeremy corbyn plan and that it could be a way out of the current impasse. just remind us what the

opposition plan would be. until recently, it's been a very opaque position forjeremy corbyn. let's be very honest. the current suggestion from jeremy corbyn would be the customs union and greater alignment with a single market. these are two big lines for the brexit supporters. notably, victoria, we must also point out red lines through an awful lot ofjeremy corbyn‘s support base so lot ofjeremy corbyn‘s support base so it's not as clean cut as this sounds. understandably from the eu site, donald tosca is holding on to that because on their perspective, that because on their perspective, thatis that because on their perspective, that is exactly what the sort of brexit deal as they would quite like, very close alignment. still pa rt like, very close alignment. still part of a customs union and the single market. of course, you could argue that isn't brexit after all. keeping to number 10 would entertain

it particularly after those comments on twitter from donald tusk that there is a special place in hell is for those who pushed the brexit. are they likely to listen to the likes of donald tusk and jeremy corbyn?” don't think so, but whatever your position on brexit, those sorts of comments from the leaders in europe and the headlines they generate just make the british person here and look around and think, if that's the attitude, i am look around and think, if that's the attitude, iam bored look around and think, if that's the attitude, i am bored sick of this anyway, and it's not very helpful. i can't help think this might have harmed positions against rapprochement. we heard box pops about people saying, no deal is better than this. this isn't good news for anyone. i guess the hard task for those sitting in the monetary policy committee at the bank of england as to what all this might mean for the future the british economy, the bank of england

governor was talking yesterday, these are the comments on the front page of the times, about what all of this brexit scenario planning might mean for growth here. this is the wea kest mean for growth here. this is the weakest growth in a decade. the central scenario let's not forget is a smooth brexit, not a crashing out as some would like to call it. an orderly brexit. this is alarming and it's against a backdrop of negative stories from around the world, whether that be on the back of the trade debacle. the australian dollar has plummeted. the us economy teetering a little bit. and huge problems in the eurozone. this is also a more global trend. we have seen also a more global trend. we have seen growth. we lived in the legacy of the 2009 financial crisis prolonged time. there have been consecutive quarters of growth. that

growth is slowing and we can't get away from that cycle. this could be away from that cycle. this could be a perfect storm to the uk as we are hearing. i'm glad you put this wea ker growth hearing. i'm glad you put this weaker growth story in the context of slower global growth but i do wonder whether some of these forecasts are pie in the sky. no—one has any idea what is going to happen in five weeks' time. interestingly whimpered theresa may's a deal was voted down, markets didn't react that strongly. the sterling didn't suddenly bottom out. the markets have factored this turmoil in a little more than they might have done. we are stuck at £1 31 against the dollar for the moment. done. we are stuck at £1 31 against the dollarfor the moment. the financial times. is that had been hatched in secret what they call

project after, what to do if there is no deal brexit. what are the ideas being bandied about? this is an understandable response from planners. given quite an important person to look after this, we also have project yellowhammer. any disasters that happen. that is the bad option. project after is rather more moderate, it's about the stimulus, the leaders that the government, banks, financial institutions could use to stimulate growth. the trouble is, when i look at this, i think the last ten years, we've been using an awful lot of those already. you suddenly start increasing government spending again, you start putting in supply and demand. will that lead to inflationary pressure? all of these things are big question marks that all of us who are involved in investment, this is being talked about. it's no longer a secret. the

front page of the financial times. let's talk about the front page of the guardian. this story that my colleague angus crawford has highlighted. its duty of care to users around the world. the very first time, sort of announcing a mere copper to some extent, it's going to ban all graphic images of self harm on the site. is that enough? you'll make it difficult to know what is in. we must remember this has resulted in arguably the death of a 14—year—old girl who took a life. when we step back, the power of the social media companies, instagram and facebook, all of these have a responsibility and we are seeing an increasing amount of government guidelines are our children, how much time they should be spending, the psychological

impact. safer than they may have been. they are not as safe in terms of the psychological welfare because of the psychological welfare because of the psychological welfare because of the time they spend on these things. there are huge pluses. all the benefits from social media. of course, we are hearing increasing and implementable negative stories, whether that be the harvesting of data and images. there are grey lines. some absolute logos. indecent images, images of children, pornography, and then there are the ones, what about the body beautiful, the encouragement of anorexia or bellini, all these awful psychological illnesses. but will be about mental health so much more now. this is just about mental health so much more now. this isjust one part of about mental health so much more now. this is just one part of that. just one little chink in a major social ill. do keep your comments coming in. there is an element of tug—of—war going on for cyberspace. governments want more control on

censorship and will jump governments want more control on censorship and willjump on any cause. tech companies want growth and they want to keep their users happy. just a very quick one, our last story. this is in lots of the papers. beer before wine will make you feel fine, winder forebear will make you feel clear. wine or beer or neither? wine, ifi make you feel clear. wine or beer or neither? wine, if i had to choose. this placed the adage, all in moderation. it certainly does. it doesn't matter what way round you manage to have for large glasses of wine or2.5 pints, manage to have for large glasses of wine or 2.5 pints, 5% of people are going to throw it all up anyway. i'm not surprised because it is well over your weekly amount of booze. do keep your comments coming in on the programme. stay with a zero on bbc news, a lot more to come. hello there. the weather has taken a bit of a turn to something a lot more unsettled to end the week. something we haven't

seen in quite a while, pretty deep areas of low pressure bringing gales and spells of heavy rain. and friday is looking very unsettled with a deep area of low pressure to bring widespread gales and quite heavy rain. now, this is actually a deep low that's been named storm erik by met eireann because it will likely bring disruptive winds to the northern half of the country including parts of scotland and northern england as we head from friday night into saturday. but early this morning, the winds will be picking up from the south—west as this storm gets closer. it'll be pushing in some pretty heavy rains in northern and western areas, maybe some snow over the scottish hills. it's going to be a very mild start to friday, particularly across the south—west. temperatures there in plymouth around 10 degrees. so it's going to be a very blustery morning. outbreaks of showery rain ahead of the main band of rain which will spread its way eastwards, bringing some pretty torrential in fact across some central and eastern areas into the afternoon. the rain remains heavy across much of scotland and northern ireland, those winds a real feature, as—ssmph across many areas. 60—70 across some northern

and western coasts, particularly over hills as well. on the plus side, it'll be pretty mild because of those south—westerlies but 10—12 degrees might not feel so mild because of the wind and rain. now, storm erik is very slow—moving towards the north of the uk through friday and saturday, and on its southern flank we could see a swathe with strong winds across parts of northern ireland into central and southern scotland and northern england. so a very blustery start to the day, perhaps even disruptive to start on saturday morning. a very windy day for all but further south, we should see some sunshine around, although much of the northern scotland will remain very wet with further snow on the hills. rainfall totals really mounting here with a chance of localised flooding in places. again, another mild day in the south. there will be some more rain arriving in the south—west later on. through friday and into saturday, we are likely to see some disruption

from these very strong winds, so keep tuned to your weather forecast and to your bbc local radio. this feature may bring a spell of wet, maybe windy weather across the very far south of england, saturday night into sunday, but it should slowly clear away into the near continent as sunday wears on, so an improving picture here, with winds turning to a north—westerly direction. so that will be a cooler direction, but at least brightening up. and we will see a band of showery rain moving south across northern areas with some cool air there, so some snow on the hills. so it will be turning cooler from sunday onwards. good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: a body recovered from the wreckage of a plane near the channel islands is confirmed as that of the premier league footballer emiliano sala. the club he had justjoined, cardiff city, offers its heartfelt condolences to the family. the big sticking point — theresa may prepares to meet ireland's prime minister to tackle the irish border after brexit. good morning.

there will be no more horse racing, in the uk until at least wednesday — because of an outbreak of equine flu in the lead up to the cheltenham festival — just five weeks away. good morning. more
