good morning — welcome to breakfast more on that to come. with charlie stayt we have a team there. and we have and louise minchin. our headlines today: other people there. we will talk a huge blaze breaks out on saddleworth moor. about them in a minute. they have west yorkshire fire service noticed the lack of women bear. says its one of the biggest moorland fires they've ever had to deal with. —— there. but first, let's move on to the daily telegraph. it is reporting that the uk's high street favourite, shocking levels of violence in doctors surgeries — m&s, is preparing for an online fightback. 3,000 patients were banned last year and finally, the daily mail reports that global radio is to cut many local regional radio shows in favour because of their behaviour. theresa may opens the door to a brexit delay, of a more streamlined version. as mps are promised a series of votes if they reject her deal. global radio is a huge organisation shutting up shop — which operates many commercial radio as more high street stores close, stations across the united kingdom. retail workers face the highest risk so, let's begin. of unemployment or redundancy with me is priya lakhani, founder and ceo of century tech, a uk—based education technology platform. let's get cracking. many papers, online, social media, they are all discussing brexit or the time, but yesterday was a very busy day, lots of headlines and loss for us to get

oui’ of headlines and loss for us to get our heads around. i feel like we should actually just hang our heads around. i feel like we should actuallyjust hang out in the pub and listen to ollie robbins speaking. a couple of weeks ago he was overheard saying that the prime minister was going to go for, potentially, a delay to brexit, or allow a debate on that, and that is obviously what happened yesterday. it is interesting news. in the uk, oui’ it is interesting news. in the uk, our ministers in the house will get to vote on her deal on march 12. if that doesn't go ahead, the following day, they get to vote on whether they agree to a no deal or not. and if she fails at bat, which i'm really hoping that she does, personally, then we get to vote on, oi’ personally, then we get to vote on, or they get to vote on, whether we should delay brexit. she says the no more than three months, to the end ofjune. but it has to be said, we must remind everybody, we have to have a unanimous vote from the eu in authorised to delay that. so the other 27 members of the european union have to agree that it can be extended, article 50. also, as well,

they have got in the european parliament their own elections in may. exactly. so it is a very busy time for the eu and those represented in the european parliament. what, from the perspective of those running businesses like yourself, a delay to article 50, is that a good thing or not? you know, the uncertainty, with what businesses often talking about, we just want to figure out what is going on and we have to say that delay in for a few months when there isa delay in for a few months when there is a chance of avoiding a no deal is going to be worth it. serb that is better than a deal... it is absolutely rather than a no deal. we do business personally within europe and also outside of europe, and, you know, is this isn't easy. i don't know, is this isn't easy. i don't know why everybody is pointing to business and saying, you aren't prepared, why don't you sort it out? we are breaking our backs, it is blood, sweat and tears to do business in general. whatever size of the business, no businesses to date —— too big to fail or too small

to succeed. the point is that it is ha rd to succeed. the point is that it is hard work and the constant barriers put in front of us are always very difficult to get through. we want oui’ difficult to get through. we want our economy to thrive. whether you voted leave or remain, the point is we've got to try to ensure that we build our economy in a way that is best for british business. to what extent best for british business. to what exte nt d o best for british business. to what extent do you think what was announced yesterday, at about 12:30pm on march “i, a few very important days for the uk and europe, to what extent do you think that they might get all of those within the conservative party to back her deal on the 12? do you think that might be what gamblers? the timing of everything is so last minute. people are going to be really afraid of potentially crashing out. the timing works for her, for the prime minister, and the report we discussed previously, which we will talk about later today, that report, the conservatives' formal report on what ano conservatives' formal report on what a no deal would mean, conservatives' formal report on what a no dealwould mean, it conservatives' formal report on what a no deal would mean, it is also very curious in terms of timing. she

wa nts very curious in terms of timing. she wants her deal to take place. she wa nts to wants her deal to take place. she wants to be prime minister until the end of her particular term, so she will create some sort of legacy with the nhs. it is not ideal to crash out over, essentially, being prime minister, i guess, with basically the person who, frankly, just couldn't get a deal in place. she has been accused by nearly everybody of not negotiating a strong enough deal with the eu. i care about business, i care about the british people, i don't care which party is negotiating what. but they need to doa negotiating what. but they need to do a betterjob than this. march 12, thatis do a betterjob than this. march 12, that is just do a betterjob than this. march 12, that isjust die. do a betterjob than this. march 12, that is just die. i do a betterjob than this. march 12, that isjust die. i cannot do a betterjob than this. march 12, that is just die. i cannot believe we are leaving about late, it is absolutely awful and they should have done better. right, we will talk about this again for many months to come, i am certain about. now, let's move on to the japan times, which is looking at kim's arrival in hanoi with —— for talks with trumped. the red carpet was

out, it was all laid on for kim jong—un, who arrived, and also of course the us president is now there as well. a massive event for vietnam, which as we were just hearing from my colleague mariko oi, is an economy which has seen a massive turnaround. it has been expanding dramatically which is why it isa expanding dramatically which is why it is a good choice. they have close ties with both the us and north korea. this is building on the work that was done in singapore last summer, when there was vague agreement by the leaders about some kind of denuclearisation, but not really much progress. i was complaining to you about the world news at the moment, but this is positive news. what is interesting is the location of vietnam. a communist country, but with an economy that is opening up internationally in a major way. yeah, they are getting investment from abroad, this is the point, we wa nt from abroad, this is the point, we want kim jong—un to see that and be enticed by that and ink, what could my country be like if i was also able to attract this amount of international investment? let's move

on to this story about the mobile world congress under way in barcelona at the moment. we have been hearing from rory cellan—jones, he was finding out all about foldable phones and 5g and all sorts of things. this article is really interesting, two of our colleagues who are also there, just talking about how they have really notice the lack of men. women, sorry. the lack of women. i have not into this pacific conference, i do go to a lot of these, there are less women then there are men, we know that about there are men, we know that about the tech industry. -- specific conference. this is really more of a message for the industry of mobile. 85% of all consumer purchasers are by women, from auto to healthcare. 45% of gamers are women. by women, from auto to healthcare. 4596 of gamers are women. that is really surprising, actually. 4596 of gamers are women. that is really surprising, actuallylj 4596 of gamers are women. that is really surprising, actually. i am really surprising, actually. i am really surprised by that as well. if brands really wants to shift and make the most of their advantages, they need to shift their messaging towards women. the problem with this particular conference in barcelona is that it is a consumer conference,

it is not even a trade conference, it is not even a trade conference, it is not b2bb2c, it is —— it is not b2b, it is b2c. it is a shame that they are only seeing a lot of men. obviously at tech conferences i do see small swarms of women. very small, very small. the last big event i was at was davos, and it was a very small swarms. but they are there. very powerful, as well. so, there. very powerful, as well. so, the mobile world congress, tracy, our camerawoman, doing a finejob. the business section of the telegraph. marks & spencer preparing for online. i am really excited, i used to supply ocado. they are an incredible company. they are an incredible company. they are an incredible tech company. this is great, they can focus on the technology, i was talking about how no businesses to fail. chairman at

m&s has said we need to get out of this lull urbanity and shifting and we need to think about online. the issue they have not run it so far is because delivery, on average, costs £11 for a retailer. so you can't, well, if their view don't know what well, if their view don't know what we are talking about, it is this online deliveries, the average marks & spencer shopping basket is £20. you can see that what they need to do is increase the spend. marks & spencer do well with their ready meals in groceries, and they don't provide an online grocery service for that. i am provide an online grocery service for that. iam really provide an online grocery service for that. i am really excited about this because i love their brands, i think they are fantastic, and it will be fantastic of them. very quickly, global‘s regional radio cuts are a travesty, says the daily mail. global, a huge organisation which runs many, many regional radio stations across the uk. this is about cost—cutting. something like

over 90 local radio presenters are going to lose theirjobs. the brea kfast going to lose theirjobs. the breakfast shows are going to disappear. that is terrible for local radio, isn't it? it is. it is terrible for them, but, local radio, isn't it? it is. it is terrible forthem, but, i mean, this is not great news at all, and i'm not trying to make light of it, but what are people listening to nowadays? we have the rise of social media, we have got local people, not just local radio stations with their local news. i don't think people will necessarily miss out on local news stories, but it is about that local presenter and having that local presenter and having that local person. somebody who knows the town. it is really sad. this is what is happening in the world. we need to understand how to try to adjust the balance in other areas. thank you so much to coming in. thank you. my you so much to coming in. thank you. my firstjob was at leicester sound, commercial radio in leicester. i will see you very soon. tuesday was another record—breaking

day, 21.2 degrees celsius at kew gardens. today is going to be another unusually warm day, lots of sunshine around but probably the last of the warm and sunny days for quite some time. our weather is changing. for a long time now, we've been on the warm side of this jetstream. you can see how the position of the jet stream is going to change over the next few days. a stronger westerlyjet coming out from the atlantic bringing cooler, more unsettled weather. at the moment, though, it's still drier and a little chilly out there. temperatures not far away from freezing in one or two places. a bit more mist and fog around, especially around southern england, the midlands, the vale of york and the moray firth. sunshine far and wide. sunshine coming to northern ireland, western and northern fringes of scotland and through the irish sea with the many inland areas dry and sunny and really warm, the highest temperatures around the london area of 19 or 20 degrees. the persistent area of high pressure is changing position. it's retreating, getting squeezed back down towards iberia and the azores which is where it should be. thursday will be a much cloudier day. it could be a little dull, a little misty and we will find some showery bursts of rain across southern england, wales, the midlands, perhaps into the north—west of england, a few heady

bursts quite likely. rain in the north—east of scotland where temperatures are back down to 9 degrees. a significant drop on what was seen recently and on top of that, sunshine as well. there may not be an awful lot of sunshine to start with either. the next weather front arriving in from the atlantic should hold towards the west through most of the day on friday. cloudy start, misty and murky again. some western areas may see some sunshine coming through, those temperatures down at around 11 or 12 degrees, fairly typically. still a little above average for the time of year, quite a change from what we've seen. and it gets windy as we head into the weekend. stron —to gale—force wind, bands of rain followed by showers, 00:11:31,969 --> 2147483051:42:30,699 a little sunshine and highs 2147483051:42:30,699 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 of around 12 or 13 celsius.
