with me is fiona cincotta, senior market analyst at city index. let's begin with brexit. i don't think i have said that word yet, thatis think i have said that word yet, that is quite amazing 45 minutes in to this hour. the financial times is talking about this letter, that theresa may has responded tojeremy corbyn, he wants to see if they will back a withdrawal agreement from the european union. tell us what these two sides are trained to negotiate. what we are seeing here is theresa may desperately trying to get backing for her deal, to push her brexit bill through parliament. she is obviously moving to labour, looking for support the labour, one of the things jeremy corbyn looking for support the labour, one of the thingsjeremy corbyn is after that theresa may has rejected is the permanent customs union, that is something that theresa may is refusing to back. she is saying that

this will not allow the uk to negotiate trade deals. and i think a very important point here, as we spoke about prior was that this is actually just on spoke about prior was that this is actuallyjust on goods. services we would still be able to make an negotiate trade deals. considering that services are the most dominant pa rt that services are the most dominant part of the uk economy, that is what is really important. the customs union is about the trade of goods and what that would mean, but it does show to us that these two sides are trying to talk an negotiate and come up with some sort of solution. can we draw from this some hope that we might get a consensus? or a getting overoptimistic here. —— or ami getting overoptimistic here. —— or am i getting. there is this feeling we have been walking in circles were a long time. as we get closer to the march 29 deadline, there is the feeling that this pressure is going to increase on politicians to actually get something done and get something through. i think we might

still be a little bit early for that. we are watching this space as ever and keeping an eye on all the negotiations. this is a really interesting story. we have hungarian paper called blikk, which has its coverage of this, but it was also on the front page of the financial times, viktor orban unveilings family reforms, this is his state of the nation address where he talks about his plans to try and make people have more babies. this is quite an interesting take because you can look at it on the one side, wonderfulfrom others, you can look at it on the one side, wonderful from others, fantastic, they have to pay their debts, they will get tax breaks. on the one site thatis will get tax breaks. on the one site that is fantastic. but there is a darker side especially considering it isa darker side especially considering it is a right—wing nationalists party who opposes immigration by muslims, he says "we need hungarian children", rather than just children. there is this fear that it

is starting off this nationalistic approach, which is against immigration. what is the real reason behind this huge new social policy that has been announced. gary and women with four children or more will be —— hungarian women with four children or more will be exempted from life from paying income tax. with any new policy announced by governments there is always unintended consequences, or interesting consequences. here in the uk many years ago when there was a policy for single mothers to get a flat through the local council, because single mums, the unintended consequences was that young girls we re consequences was that young girls were choosing to have children early in order to leave home and get a flat. all these things happen as a consequence of these matters. one of the things that he is looking for is the things that he is looking for is the consequence of a higher birth rate, so that is something that he is looking for. you wonder how they

pay for that in the future. that is the big question. let's move on. axios which is a little —— political website, very focused on us politics, new leaks website, very focused on us politics, new lea ks amid website, very focused on us politics, new leaks amid leak probe. the white house has responded to this, it is about how the president spends his time. how much" executive time". what does he do in this time. that is the big question, not only is it embarrassing that the white house has not been able to get to the bottom of this, but trump has been actually responded on twitter. in the sense that he has responded and sort of been brought into it. it is not the sort of behaviour you would nationally —— necessarily expect from a president... trump tweeting? you

expect from a president... trump tweeting ? you would expect from a president... trump tweeting? you would expect that behaviour. from previous presidents, but we know that trump is very different. the article talks about the fact that previous presidents would be in the oval office by 6am, clocking in, the president's schedule is right up to the end of this week, what he has been up to and where he has been going. someone within is sending very detailed information to axios and others as a mile. that is an embarrassment in itself, there is this feeling in the white house that there is not a team, a strong team stuck together. and i think this goes to showjust how controversial trump is really, that people really are not so favourable towards him. and trump has been tweeting, he says "the fact is when i took over as president at country was a mess, deleted military, endless wars... i had no choice but to work very, very long hours." talking

choice but to work very, very long hours. " talking about choice but to work very, very long hours." talking about worklife balance, let's talk about the timers. this is really interesting, a gorgeous photo of the duchess of cambridge arriving at the baftas yesterday, but right next to it, brits take a generous view of the filthy rich. tell us about this story. this is an article about social envy and how we view, as brits, we view the superrich in comparison to different countries in europe and the us. actually here we are much more easy—going on millionaires and billionaires than other countries. especially, including the us, which i found surprising. also you notice there is a difference with millennials as well, they are even more easy—going than the slightly... many millennials are becoming the superrich. they compare us with

germany where there is not an appetite there in the same way, which isjust appetite there in the same way, which is just highlighting the cultural differences isn't it. also with france, they point out as well the same differences. we are talking about a fairly significant difference in feeling social envy as well. let's move on to the baftas, clea n well. let's move on to the baftas, clean beach clean, that is a great headline in the sun. olivia colman who played queen anne in the favourite beat rami malek as freddie mercury in the film about queen. favourite beat rami malek as freddie mercury in the film about queenm isa mercury in the film about queenm is a wonderful clean, our wonderful theme. the favourite did extremely well, interesting best film for rover... have you seen it? -- rohmer. —— roma. your husband is

from argentina it is interesting it should get so highlighted as a spanish—language film. should get so highlighted as a spanish-language film. it is good, it is wonderful. the film about one ba ftas, it is wonderful. the film about one baftas, starring three fantastic actresses, about queen ann, it is quite fascinating really. who is your money on the best film in the oscars? dare you say? gosh... i really have no idea. i think it is quite an open field this time. you can't always go with what happens at the baftas in london the night before as to what will be going on at the oscars. tell me fiona about your worklife balance, any good or not? i try to have a good balance, as mothers and working mothers we try very hard to show our children that work is important but also

there is another side to life. that work is important but also there is another side to lifelj just want to share some more of our viewers' comments, so many people have been in touch with their views on this issue of working around the clock, as it were. one of our stories on bbc online is the fact that one of our main workers unions, the tuc is trying to ban zero hours contracts because they argue that thatis contracts because they argue that that is what is exploiting workers. our report in business breaking is about some of the problems injapan but many are viewing here in western developed countries, they are also seeing a real issue in this area as well stop so many of you have been in touch, thank you fiona for being with us, by the way. if you want to get involved, it is #bbcthebriefing. hello. well, the end of last week was pretty stormy. gale—force winds across the uk. this week, steady waters around the uk. high pressure is building.

the winds will be light for most of us. we've got some sunshine and some frosty mornings on the way as well, and monday will be no different. very decent weather on the way. this is the big picture across the continent right now. this high pressure is starting to build across spain, portugal, and into france, and you can see it's nudging into the uk, and soon it'll engulf the whole of europe. now, at the moment, it's still pretty chilly because the winds are blowing out of the north—north—west. however, the milder air you can see here, that will be reaching our shores by about wednesday. so this is what it looks like early hours of monday morning — a couple of showers maybe affecting north—eastern parts of england and scotland, but on the whole, it's looking clear across most of the uk, and there will be a frost. the coldest of the weather, as you might expect, will be across scotland — minus two in edinburgh, but outside of town, colder than that. and a touch of frost further south expected, as well, but not an awful lot. so monday starts off sunny. many of us will have a sunny day all day long.

however, western areas of the country will turn a little bit more hazy. weather fronts are trying to get in, maybe even a few light spots of rain, but this is pretty much where they grind to a halt because of that high pressure building across many western parts of europe. and here is the high pressure across western parts of europe, as it builds a little bit further towards the east. but notice it's displaced further south away from us. that means that these weather fronts just about nibbling into the north—west of the british isles, so maybe again a bit of cloud, a few spots of rain, increasing breeze here. but really, in the western isles, the vast majority of the country, 99% of us having dry weather through the course of tuesday. and those temperatures are starting to rise, because we have those south—westerly winds. in fact, we're already expecting double figures there in aberdeen, edinburgh, newcastle, and also in belfast. so that's tuesday. by the time we get to wednesday, the mild air has well and truly arrived on our shores. in fact, it's also seeping into parts of scandinavia and western as well as eastern parts of europe.

and in fact, by thursday and friday, those winds turn to a southerly, so that means one thing — those temperatures will continue to rise. by thursday it could be around 13 or 14 degrees, notjust in the south of the country, but even in one or two spots across scotland. so the weather this week is looking absolutely fine. bye— bye. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: the prime minister says she's prepared to talk tojeremy corbyn about his demands for supporting a brexit deal but rules out a customs union with the eu. a new trial suggests that women with a family history of breast cancer could benefit if screening was reduced to the age of 35. the bafta queen: olivia colman picks up best actress for her role in the favourite at last night's awards — and pays tribute to her co—stars. this is for all three of us. it's
