good morning welcome to breakfast all sorts of issues with dan walker and naga munchetty. this, it raises all sorts of issues around belonging, being of dual our headlines today: the family of a teenage girl heritage, how meaningful is who joined i—s say they'll citizenship? is it more meaningful fight the government's decision to take away her for some than others? others would british citizenship. of course take the view, look at young people in the uk are more what she got herself involved in. likely to die from asthma — and have the worst obesity surely the government has to take a rates in europe. tough stance on that. the interesting thing is to make new powers to tackle the misuse of drones, someone the interesting thing is to make as the no—fly zones around someone stateless is not illegal. airports are extended. however, i think the home secretary had advice that her mother have a the gender pay gap is growing at hundreds of firms. 40% of those who've reported bangladeshi passport and therefore to have access to bangladeshi their pay data so far have a higher average pay gap between men nationality. and women than they did last year. there is still some degree of so is naming and shaming working? controversy around exactly what conditions have two apply at for a a stalemate at anfield. liverpool endure a frustrating full citizenship to be considered as evening with a goaless draw being a dual citizen, for example. that somehow impact one‘s writes in a way that might not have been thought about before? why the specifics of the case have really focused on the situation of these young woman. nonetheless it raises a whole host of water issues. you have

before her? not a great deal, but one has to take a step back and look at the facts of the case where somebody who was only 15 years old when she was recruited by a very odious group nonetheless what safeguards were in place to prevent that from happening. what needs to happen to stop that happening to others? interesting. let's move on 110w others? interesting. let's move on now and talk about the labour party. we had the seven mps, labour and please quitting the party. it short time later, we have an eight mp quitting the party and she has been talking about her reasons. joan ryan has set it is obviously not a delight, it is painful, but it is a duty for me, a moral story. her reasoning is she has talked about the fact she cannot be part of a party that allows racism to flourish. this boils down to the anti—semitism debate again, doesn't it? it is partly that, and given the timing of this, there is a lot of focus around the broader issue of leadership in the points being made
5:47 am
around brexit by a lot of the mp5 who have decided to take this action. clearly, a real sense that nothing much is being done to it tackle very important issues, but one also wonders about the extent to which the opposition‘s views on brexit and what is prepared to do, whether there is a strong opposition in his issue or not is behind some of this. of course all this happening amid aid drop where we are moving ever closer to the brexit deadline. it doesn't help things, does it? it is not necessarily vote list on any one party. we are moving closer to that deadline, negotiations are still being attempted, but this is all having a very real—world economic effect as well. you work break huge international bank. what do you make of uk politics right now? typically one looks at risk and there has the sense...
5:48 am
what does even to risk? the politics of impact in a big way on economic outcomes, and has been a te na nt on economic outcomes, and has been a tenant in the past to think of this as something that would eat isolated to emerging markets, this is where you really needed to be up on the politics to be able to say anything about the predict ability of economic outcomes and what was associated in everyone's mind was the idea that emerging markets are that much more susceptible to political risk. countries like... developing countries. what is going on in the uk i suppose that what has happened perhaps even in the us in terms of trade negotiations that are happening globally is that this is not something isolated to emerging markets at all. quite scary that now we are looking at uk politics under that light, especially in your work lately you had to deal with a lot of different governments. perhaps justified given the economics under discussion.
5:49 am
honda has a really sad story for the workers. at this story in the ft also underlines the fact that it is not just the workers at also underlines the fact that it is notjust the workers at honda. it is a whole supply chain that will be affected as well. honda says 7000 jobs are at risk from this decision to close the swindon plant. a huge blow for the uk car industry. but the state of the global car industry is that the carmakers are making difficult decisions. this is certainly the case, and is not necessarily true that it is only in the uk that this degree of uncertainty faced, but you can't separate out this news item necessarily from the broader environment, which is the great uncertainty around brexit. we are this much closer to march 29, not a great deal of uncertainty, predictability and one would perhaps reasonably expect that this would have a real—world economic impact. honda insists the swindon decision
5:50 am
is not driven by brexit. it is very difficult to establish the counterfactual in these insta nces, the counterfactual in these instances, though there may well have been a case where one would expect this to be happening regardless of the brexit debate, but it is very difficult to strip out the great deal of uncertainty in the absence of any firm outlook, what lies ahead beyond march 29. it is very difficult. the problem with carmakers in particular in terms of where they fit in a country's economy they need to have that frictionless trade, they need that frictionless trade, they need that certainty so they can get car parts and card in and out of the country. but without knowing where we will be after march 29, that is difficult. it is the realisation it isn'tjust a matter of r&b in, are out? what other terms that will govern this? when you look at the establishment of entire supply chain is, when you look at the ability to sell into much larger markets, these issues
5:51 am
are all important. however it, it is also a strong argument that japan and however it, it is also a strong argument thatjapan and eu signed a trade deal very recently which means that tariffs on japanese cars trade deal very recently which means that tariffs onjapanese cars coming to the eu will disappear by 2027, and whether or not the uk is in the eu or not, that is still the case, and it is cheaper for eu or not, that is still the case, and it is cheaperforjapan. it may well be, especially given the demographics and a lot of other factors that are changing at the same time. moving on, let's talk about brexit. as if we haven't talked about it enough. do you talk about it in the workplace? certainly. it is the centre of concern is not just certainly. it is the centre of concern is notjust here in the uk, but the trading partners around the world who have think about what lies ahead ina world who have think about what lies ahead in a post brexit environment. it would be a mistake really to think that this is something that is only occupying businesses that are uk based. talking about this story, it is in
5:52 am
the bloomberg and talks about the british prime minister making a last—ditch attempt to save her brexit deal. she is going to go to brussels. do you think there will be some kind of breakthrough with the eu and to reason may? is that likely given what we have been the last few months? given the initial stance on what has been said about the willingness to renegotiate, it is the hope that they are more pragmatic, economic approach will win the day and it is the possibility of another outcome, but we are getting that much closer to march the 29th and markets will be looking at this with increasing nervousness. it is a question of who wa nts to nervousness. it is a question of who wants to compromise. whether there is room for compromise, because the deal be have on the table has taken yea rs deal be have on the table has taken years to get here. and it also begs the question, what is the necessity of trying to rush everything through at this pace given the very real downside risk is
5:53 am
of no deal can be achieved in time. explain to me, a lot of people talked when we voted on brexit back in 2016, that there would be massive economic gloom and doom if we voted to leave the eu. that hasn't happened. the uk hasn't yet left the eu, and ina the uk hasn't yet left the eu, and in a sense we are talking about something that still has the potential to go very wrong. but i think anyone is in a position where they can say, is, leave aside all of these trade preferences created a great deal of uncertainty, look at the degree of investment that is being pulled and it is all going to being pulled and it is all going to be okayed because it has been ok so far. things are necessarily work that way. let's talk about karl lagerfeld. i don't know if you are a chanel fan. big lagerfeld. i don't know if you are a chanelfan. big time. lagerfeld. i don't know if you are a chanel fan. big time. just in a point of admiration that she —— creative genius of karl lagerfeld he really did dominate a while in terms of having revived the chanel brand.
5:54 am
he completely change it and he made it very modern and very of the moment and he was dressing so many contemporary stars, a huge loss for the fashion industry. a very significant loss, not necessarily a creative genius without his quirks, though. absolutely. the way he dressed, the way he talked. i thought it was a easing. if he walked into a room, he would command attention of one. possibly on the basis of the clothes themselves. do you wear, dubai chanel? 0h, basis of the clothes themselves. do you wear, dubai chanel? oh, no. a bit out of the range of most economists. -- are you wear chanel? plenty more to come on bbc news. you can go to our website for all the top stories. for me and the team here, thank you watching and goodbye. hello again. our weather has been pretty mild over recent days,
5:55 am
but we're about to turn the heat up even further. our up even further. air starts to come around from north—west our air starts to come around from north—west africa, spain and portugal and the southerly winds bringing mild air across the uk. boosting those temperatures. a few of us could see temperatures go as high as 18 degrees, but we do need some sunshine. it looks like it will be pretty cloudy at times. this is a satellite picture. it shows a lot of rain bearing cloud, but if you are heading outside, we have some wet weather moving across scotland, northern england and aq spot into wales and the midlands. showers pushing into northern ireland as well. a mild start to the day on wednesday with temperatures between seven and 11 degrees in belfast. wednesday morning, getting off to a mild but cloudy start. there will be some rain around, quite heavy for wales and north—west england, the weather will try to brighten up with
5:56 am
sunny spells breaking out. the best of these are likely across scotland and eastern areas of england, perhaps east wales for a time as well. temperatures between 12 and 1a degrees, warmer than it should be at this stage of february. wednesday night, quite a bit of cloud, a few spots of light rain and drizzle. another mild one but with clear skies towards the south—east, could turn cold here. at list and fog patches around as well. thursday, better prospects of being aq more cloud breaks. the best of these are that east of high ground, across the midlands, east of england, east of the pennines. they are the favoured spots for seeing some bottled sunshine. closer to europe on thursday, highs of 17 in paris and madrid. we could be highs reached 25 degrees across southern spain at the head into this weekend. richard builds further as we had through
5:57 am
friday, so maybe at list and fog patches. should be more in the way of sunshine coming through, and that will make the difference. it is getting warmer, tebbutt is 1a to dean degrees fairly widely. still some rain potentially in the north—west. that is your weather.
