among many with this story. our cooking a traditional sunday roast causes levels of air pollution in your home that can rival some of the world's smoggy cities. so let's begin. with me is kulveer ranger who's senior vice president strategy & communication at atos. are you having a sunday roast this week? not this week, so the pollution levels will be ok. throat is still bad, though. let's start with the daily telegraph, the story that has been evolving over the past week. i wonder, that has been evolving over the past week. iwonder, where that has been evolving over the past week. i wonder, where does this go now? shamima begum has given birth, we understand, to a boy in this refugee camp, and whether that perhaps creates a bit more sympathy for her plight among people here.” think we have to be very careful. i am concerned about the press coverage on this. i think had —— headline in the daily telegraph, show me some sympathy, words taken from an extended interview she has done, in which she talks about
5:46 am
living under threats of bombs, planes, starvation, when she says she will find it hard to come back, it is because of the conditions she has been living in for what appears to be the last four years. she is still a teenager, someone who has lost two children in this conflict, living in this area. i would put the risk, the security of this country and the people who live here first, but i think we need to understand that this is still an individual who is traumatised by the experience she has gone through, and we need to show due process before we put, i think, this kind of coverage upon this teenager's had. i was slightly disappointed with the way she is being portrayed. i suppose, going down a similar route to her and the programmes that try and dissuade people from turning
5:47 am
to extremism, handled in the right way, this could be used as a strong example and a very effective example to dissuade others?” example and a very effective example to dissuade others? i think you are right but we need to get into that. shining this light at this point, i do question why this particular case has been picked out. there are numerous cases of this kind and it's a question of we have chosen to make this lady, this teenager, a poster girlfor this lady, this teenager, a poster girl for this situation. i think thatis girl for this situation. i think that is something we need to worry about because we are polarising society and asking people to make judgements. i particularly concerned about parliamentarians, mps, making state m e nts about parliamentarians, mps, making statements on this case without having actually given had due process. we should go through it, we should understand where her mentality is, what she has been through, she is a british citizen and we need to understand that and then see, as you quite rightly say,
5:48 am
what can be done. if she is guilty of wrongdoing, if the right law should be applied. but there may be some positive to take out of this tragic situation that she finds herself in. i am sure this will come up herself in. i am sure this will come up in the coming days and in the newspapers but let's move on to the financial times. this is an interesting development. britain giving quai way the green light to be involved in setting up 56, the high—speed mobile networks. —— huawei. this isn't going to go down well in washington? it's not. people are saying they need to have concerns about huawei being integrated into their 56 network, their technology. but is it about them having the ability to import security right now? what the us is saying is there is the potential for future risk. both the uk and germany
5:49 am
have looked at it extensively and are saying this can be mitigated and the people who know and understand the people who know and understand the dynamics of cyber security, firstly, this is an extremely fast paced environment. the technology is leading edge. for us to take a view right now and say there are future risks we can't mitigate, i think there is something challenging about that because it says we understand every kind of risk they will be and we understand we cannot manage it. i think the uk and germany are taking a line here which is contradictory to the us i sang actually, we feel we can manage this going forward and if we start here with huawei, where do we stop? because they will surely be other agencies and organisations that we can't predict where the technology will be. you are right, it does cause an issue with the us because they have been lobbying hard not to allow access to these networks. that the uk's decision is contrast to australia and new
5:50 am
zealand and the reason that become significant if they are part of these five eyes of nations that share intelligence. i wonder whether one potential consequence would be other members of five eyes group perhaps not being quite so co mforta ble perhaps not being quite so comfortable sharing sensitive information? you are right. however, we ta ke information? you are right. however, we take the uk's position as one of the most experienced parts and players in that network. we, the uk, to hold significant experience because in this area. the uk has a few that is listened to by the international community in this area so if the uk is contradicting what the us is lobbying for, other nations will listen as well. 0k. let's turn to the mail and guardian in south africa. this is a fascinating case. in some ways, you can look at this and say, you know, if nature is —— nature has given an

athletic person and advantage, is it fairfor athletic person and advantage, is it fair for then athletic person and advantage, is it fairfor then to then athletic person and advantage, is it fair for then to then be limited?m isa fair for then to then be limited?m is a very deep ethical conversation. she is at the heart of it. i feel like you are right, there is a nature conversation here this has a long way to run. she is a woman and fast and this is how she sees herself. why shouldn't she be different? —— caster semenya. all the people who are different and allow people to achieve that. some god—given gift in their genetics. the way they have been born. in this case, that is heard. —— that is hers. we need to think about whether we need to start regulating the human condition to make it become more standard in that way we want to
5:52 am
deal with this issue. i think it's a deep ethical conversation and something we will find quite difficult to get to a singular point on, i would say. this story on the times, one we have been covering in the last few days on bbc news, the colla pse the last few days on bbc news, the collapse of fly bmi leaving people stranded across europe. —— flybmi. this is concerning because it appears that flybmi, the airline that has gone bust over the weekend, was still taking bookings right up to the point that they entered an area where they cannot now actually function as an organisation and the issue here is what are the warning signals? what it that is giving, can reassure passengers when you are booking with an organisation like this, you can understand that you may not get to your end is we have

had other airlines of this size falling. ed berlin for example. had other airlines of this size falling. ed berlinfor example. —— air berlin. these airlines are operating on, dear i said, a wing on a prayer. the things that should be taken into a prayer. the things that should be ta ken into account a prayer. the things that should be taken into account and there should be some ability to protect the public. i sure anyone watching across europe would have sympathy with this. the new zealand herald and many others are carrying this story. i thought they would refer to the pollution caused from rearing their cattle but no, they are literally talking about the pollution that emanate into your kitchen from your oven. people tried to grab headlines and make us all more conscious about the issues of air quality, particularly
5:54 am
particulate matter. we need to do something with it and it is actually harmful to us as specially in children and old people with rest of treat issues will stop but really? can we really not have our roast any more? —— rest retreat issues. —— rest —— respiratory. targeting the good old sunday roast may not be the best way to go. not the most popular. if they recommend you -- they recommend that if you want to be healthy, just boil everything. thanks very much. stay with us here on bbc news — so much more to come. well, it's felt a lot like spring in the last few days with temperatures getting into the mid, even the high teens.
5:55 am
it looks like the temperatures will ease back down a little bit for at least two or three days before they will start rising once again. and, in fact, by the weekend, it could be exceptionally mild across the uk. in the short term, clouds are drifting across the country. these are weather fronts. also, some showers in the forecast too, so not a completely dry picture on monday. in fact, the showers getting into many western parts, some across scotland too. they could be short and sharp through the course of monday, but i think as far as early monday morning is concerned, many of us still having a lot of dry weather. and very mild. when you step out there, monday morning, 9 degrees in the south of the country. that's closer to our daytime temperature and that's the start of the day. so, monday, lots of showers, i think, across western scotland, bit of a breeze here round the coasts. hail and thunder is possible. and one or two showers possible also further south. but the further east you are, the better the weather will be. i suspect newcastle and hull will probably stay dry all day and quite bright.
5:56 am
tuesday's weather forecast, another weather front is approaching, but ahead of it, the winds are blowing out of the south—west, so a very mild direction. so, despite the cloud and the rain, it's still going to feel pretty mild in some western areas of the uk. i think it will eventually cloud over, at least turn quite hazy across eastern and southern areas, but it will be dry here. temperatures will still get up to ii or 12 degrees. but rain expected for belfast and western parts of scotland in the day, and then overnight, that rain is going to sweep through. now, this is wednesday's weather forecast here. notice the mild air reaching further north. so that means that the temperatures will start to creep back up again on wednesday. the morning is looking a little cloudy and rainy. this picture here is in the morning. and then in the afternoon, that weather front moves out of the picture, the skies should clear up a little bit and those temperatures will start rising. we're expecting even 13 degrees, maybe even 14 in one or two spots on wednesday. come thursday, that's when the winds really switch direction. they'll start coming
5:57 am
in from the south, so the clouds will also break up, it'll start really warming up. in fact, widely by friday, those temperatures will be in the mid—teens, notjust in the south, but even in the very far north of the uk. scotland could get up to 16 as early as thursday or friday. and friday into saturday, this southerly jet stream, extremely southerly jet stream will scoop up the warm air. it could get up to 18 degrees. good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today. the fight against fake news — mps call for far stricter regulation and a code of ethics for tech giants like facebook. shamima begum, who ran away to syria tojoin is, appeals for the british public to show her and her new baby sympathy and allow her to return to the uk. and there's been a dramatic rise in serious incidents reported by home care providers for people with learning
