good morning welcome to breakfast with louise minchin. and charlie stayt. as the paper calls it, 0ur headlines today: jeremy corbyn says labour will now on its front page. support a second brexit referendum if its alternative inside, it shows picnics and even eu exit plan fails. a woman on the beach. theresa may will address the commons today as she faces calls to extend her brexit negotiations is this just is thisjust weird is this just weird and worrying in and rule out a no—deal terms of what is happening to our as ministers threaten to quit. climate? with me is rebecca harding, one of the pope's advisers, cardinal george pell, ceo and founder of coriolis tech. has become one of the most so, let's begin with senior catholic figures to be convicted of sexual offences. the financial times. labour reshapes brexit debate by sleep lessons in the classroom. we'll meet the teenagers backing a second referendum. will we being taught about the benefits of cutting back on screen time be going to the polls again soon?|j and gettting a good night's sleep. help to make profits. think be going to the polls again soon?” think the moment anything is britain's second possible. i think there is still a biggest house builder, huge amount of uncertainty around what will happen with brexit. this isa what will happen with brexit. this is a move actually potentially to stem the tide of dissatisfaction with labour party policy. there is something bigger going on in the labour party. the labor party isn't without internal conflict as we saw
5:46 am
without internal conflict as we saw with the defections last week. this is actually the labour party trying to reconnect with some of the voices. you had to remember as well, there were some very important amendments being voted upon tomorrow and the labour party has its own amendment bear with is the customs union and closer allegiance to the singer of —— single market. labor party wa nts singer of —— single market. labor party wants to make sure it has consensus and you can party wants to make sure it has consensus and you can see party wants to make sure it has consensus and you can see it as a result of that. and what i have been reading in the financial times and elsewhere, most seem to be agreed that this is a promise that labour is thinking it may never had to deliver, a second referendum. it is more about the internal politics within the opposition party and trying to prevent anyone else from leaving. exactly. it is all about at the moment a lot of the brexit debate is about the politics and thatis debate is about the politics and that is the case as for toys as well as the labour party. at the moment there were rumours yesterday of a
5:47 am
bigger split within the labour party, there has been a lot of discussion going on about whether or not the labour party can actually hold itself together. tom watson calling to have another group within the labour party for more moderate mps and brexit has just thrown open a lot of those internal divisions. in the meantime, the prime minister will be talking to parliament to all the mps this afternoon to say where we are wrapped with her negotiations with brussels. she will have what many papers are describing as a crunch meeting ahead of that with her cabinet. there is a lot of rumours that she may consider an plan to delay brexit. yes, and again, you have to see this as a process of almost facing reality. she has divided cabinet, she has divided the party, that is obvious. this is something the adviser last week on brexit was talking about,
5:48 am
overheard in a bar talking about. she stuck to this line rigidly all the way through, we are going to leave on the 29th of march and that is the will of the people. however it is becoming increasingly difficult given the tensions across the two political parties to actually manage that and what needs to be done and her own cabinet are saying that to her. watch this space. what you think? what is your money on in terms of what might happen in the next, you know, march 29 and beyond ? happen in the next, you know, march 29 and beyond? we have a big vote on march the 12th. i think it is very likely at this stage that this week will be critical because although she has decided to delay the vote, the more meaningful boat until march i2, and that is dire looting the amendments, i think anybody‘s money at the moment will be on this week deciding whether there will be an extension to the article 50 process, because there is a groundswell
5:49 am
feeling in parliament about that being necessary. for all those businesses and companies except truck on it there is a delay, what does that mean for them? —— for all those businesses and companies, etc. if you look at the general opinion on the street and the general opinion within businesses is that they just want this decision to opinion within businesses is that theyjust want this decision to be made. let's get on with whatever the future may be and actually a profound level of disinterest for a company it is extremely difficult to plan. particular if you are exporting goods and services and putting stuff on ships and you don't know whether it will arrive within the timeframe of the 20 working days that we have until we leave. so it is very difficult for companies to make decisions at the moment. that hasn't changed. let's move out on. this is really interesting. europe willing to rule, this is under way
5:50 am
in barcelona. huawei have a huge presence in barcelona and we are looking at these new folding phones. sg looking at these new folding phones. 56 is looking at these new folding phones. sg isa looking at these new folding phones. 56 is a big talking point. what has europe got on its mind? 56 has been on your‘s minds because over the last 18 months, we have seen an increased awareness of the role of china in our communications network. because of the relationship that the us and china have and the fact that actually this cyber espionage has become part of that debate over the us china trade war, it has meant europe has had to look at itself to formulate its own independent policy and think about what the consequences are. that really is what come it has been an issue raised, that is what some european policymakers might, and the desire to have all this consistent across the member states is there as well. when it comes to check on things
5:51 am
like mobile phones, how they are used, gdp are, that kind of thing, it has been pretty strong and consistent globally when it comes to this issue —— gdpr. consistent globally when it comes to this issue -- gdpr. people would argue on level that it prevents innovations happening quite quickly, but another level it means across the whole european union everything is consistent and a level playing field. from a technology point of view, it adds an understanding of the relationship and in security terms and strategic terms between europe and china, it is much clearer than the relationship with the us. it took about tech and security and inventor —— innovation. the cheap in a executive of microsoft saying, depending microsoft army contract for augmented reality —— the chief executive. 4000 employees has signed a petition protesting against an arrangement. what is going on here?
5:52 am
this is a stencil integrity and honesty and a generation of ideals coming through and thinking you can do anything with tech and it is about communicating with people and it has a socialist and economic persons against the reality of the world which is actually that technology and security and military purposes are interwoven, it links back to the story on 5g in europe, it links to the story on trade wars. this is all part and parcel of the same thing. there is this big equally powerful populism amongst the younger generation of people, which is hang on a minute, we didn't sign up to this conflict, we didn't sign up to this conflict, we didn't sign up to higher levels, we signed up sign up to higher levels, we signed up to businesses and social media that we thought would change the world and make people be nice to each other. it is equally as powerful and potentially is
5:53 am
disruptive. talking people having a say, let's talk about berlin. they are set to hold a referendum on banning big landlords and privatising housing. really interesting. many would argue a free market is the best way for a market to run, the housing market in particular, but many cities, london as well, are experiencing rental prices going up and up and up. it is not affordable for people to live in the big cities in their countries. berlin is an interesting case because it has evolved over the last 30 years since unification in a very dramatic way, it has become a take—up. —— tech hub. it has pushed up take—up. —— tech hub. it has pushed up prices. prices in berlin have doubled. early and also if a city with a huge social conscience. 50,000 people that are homeless in berlin, 35,000 of those actually
5:54 am
have some form of accommodation so they are not, you still see people on the streets but they have a social commitment to keeping those people off the streets. this is about making sure that berlin stays true to its past and has always provided limits to the extent of which landlords can actually control the property market, a very powerful story. really interesting. thank you so much for that talking us through some of these stories. yes, we haven't got to the weather, but many people are talking about the fact that we have seen extraordinary high temperatures for the month of february. today it looks like it will be another sunny, warm day. thank you for your company and i will see you very soon. hello there. on monday, the temperature
5:55 am
reached 20.6 celsius in western parts of wales. and today, the temperatures are going to be very similar. basically, the record warmth is going to continue for one more day. and it's all due to this static weather pattern. it's been unusually warm for quite some time, this blocking weather pattern, there's the undulations in the jet stream. there's always winners and losers, of course. and on the warm side of thejet, it was 20 degrees on monday in london. 0n the cold side of the jet, for example, in athens, it was only 7. now, the average temperatures at this time of the year in london is 10 degrees. the average temperature in athens is 15. and as you can see, over the week ahead, things are going to get a little bit back to normal, if you like. it's going to turn cooler in london and warmer in athens as the jet stream changes. we will look at that in a moment. whilst its warm in sunshine in the day, it's cold at night under the clear skies, and into rural parts across the south, temperatures could be down to —3 once again. some mist and fog patches
5:56 am
in the valleys to lift in the morning. plenty of sunshine on the way again on tuesday. away from the far north of scotland, we have a band of cloud. the winds will be light, it will feel warm and the sunshine and i9, 20 with western parts of wales and around the london area too. we've still got our blocking area of high pressure close to our shores, that's feeding warmer air around that towards the uk. but pushing down colder airfor eastern europe and into the eastern med. wednesday, we start to see some changes, more mist and fog around the southern parts of england and wales slowly lifting. a lot more low cloud coming into the south—west approaches through the irish sea into northern ireland in western scotland. so, cloudy here. sunshine elsewhere, well above average. not as warm as they have been. on thursday, the changes are more significant. we've got a lot more cloud around on thursday. perhps some weather systems to bring some showery rain. perhaps getting as far north as north—west england and northern ireland.
5:57 am
even some bursts of rain in the south—east. maybe brightening up in the south—west later, but on the whole, much more cloud will be quite a bit lower as well. we saw the position of the jet stream earlier on. this is how it looks toward the end of the week. a much strongerjet coming right the way across the atlantic. more of a westerly influence. we're losing the warmer air that's coming in from the south, so temperatures are lower, ii or 12 degrees. more cloud around, a bit of sunshine at times, but we're likely to see some rain coming in from the west.
