5:45 am
good morning. that may be a fake — welcome to breakfast, withjon kay and naga munchetty. goes on sale for over $100 million. our headlines today: social media firms are told to do more to tackle child grooming after 5,000 online offences so let's begin. were recorded in 18 months. with me isjoel kibazo, partner ath associates and a former director of communications there is a danger of at africa development bank. a large measles epidemic as vaccination rates decline. public health england claims there were around 1,000 cases in england last year. you and art fan? am. da paint yourself? not at all, i am not pakistan is set to release the captured indian pilot as a peace talented and that we stop right gesture later this morning, let's start with a gulf news and after shooting down his plane in kashmir. this escalation of tensions between india and pakistan we have seen this getting the internet speed you need. week, the worst we've seen for some new broadband regulations come decades. -- i am. -- do you. ithink in today to protect users' rights, what has happened is that in many ways, there have been so many other international crises going on that i think the spotlight had been taken off the tensions that there are between these two countries and of course, the whole kashmir region
5:46 am
which both claim as their own, so i think, however, that tensions are likely to be reduced. pakistan has said that it will offer to send back the pilot that the shutdown, the indian pilot who were shot down, and i think on the other side that of course, india has a general election, so the prime minister has said that we should not let our enemies get the better of us, so that might keep tensions high. we are hoping that that will come down. imean are hoping that that will come down. i mean that is a factor in all of this, the way that it is perceived by each of the leaders‘s audiences at home? because imran khan recently elected as prime minister in pakistan, as is a narendra modi facing elections, they both want to establish themselves as people stand up establish themselves as people stand up to the respective rights of their countries. —— as you say.
5:47 am
up to the respective rights of their countries. -- as you say. exactly right, and in many ways, that is the only prison we can see this through. pakistan offering to send back this indian pilot, that might help ease the tension. my theory is that if that had not have happened, tension would have kept rising because elections and the need to keep paying to your own base means that you keep raising this is among the population and of course, they will support it. -- playing. let's move on to the japan times, about four hours ago actually we were sitting here infinding hours ago actually we were sitting here in finding out that they were breaking up without a deal being signed. the japan times trying to salvage the takeaway is on the talks, the show was not all in vain. yes, the japan times talks about the fa ct yes, the japan times talks about the fact that the sanctions will remain. however, it sort of highlights that there is no new testing in the future, which of course is terribly important given that japan
5:48 am
future, which of course is terribly important given thatjapan is sort of within the radar for some of these missiles possibly landing on its territory. so that is one of the key things it talks about, so the tensions have been reduced, no new testing, and at least that may be in the future, that there will be other engagements, although they stress that there are no plans for a new high—level meeting between the two leaders of the united states and north korea. it is interesting that they see that things, they take a more positive view than that that has been taken in the west. yeah, as the indications man, you must have been watching this with fascination because there is an element of setting the narrative, of being the first to get your side of things out there and president trump did that, saying that the north koreans wanted full sanctions relief and then sometime later, the north koreans clarified and said no, we only want
5:49 am
a partial. —— communications man. but the message had already gone out. the message had gone out and i thought the most interesting thing is that the north koreans came back, because they usually do not comment on any of these issues, so it seems as though the engagement has at least led them to believe that it is important to communicate their message on the way they see things, so for me i thought that was the most interest in thing, the fact that president trump came out and said something was not a total surprise but the koreans responding, i think tells us that maybe the first narrative was not completely the correct one. and of course, president trump got onto air force one, he was out of hanoi and heading back home, to be greeted by the fallout from the michael cohen testimony to congress, which was pretty explosive stuff. but there had been some talk about is this building a head of steam towards congress trying to impeach him? of course, it now the democrats have control of the house of
5:50 am
representatives, but the new york times in this article is saying that actually that might not necessarily be the best thing for the democrat to do. that is right, and it talks about the fact that there is this pressure, particularly from the newly elected, younger members of the democrats house of representatives that have come into the house recently, and that there is that pressure. however, it also points out that the last time there was an impeachment hearing, that he did not go well for the party trying to impeach. so it is not sure that just because the democrats have the power in the house of representatives that they should launch this impeachment. it may not play well with voters and might actually help donald trump in the 2020 election, so that is what they are saying, be careful of what happens. there is no guarantee, plus of course, the republicans still control the senate, so even if you started the impeachment in the lower
5:51 am
house, you still have to take it to the senate, which is where any impeachment would take place and be decided, so it is still controlled by republicans. so it might be really worthless. (to by republicans. so it might be really worthless. ( to the by republicans. so it might be really worthless. (to the business pages the daily telegraph, rather than talk about brexit uncertainty harming the prospects for the uk economy, this suggests that actually there is still a strong showing of confidence from some heavyweights in the investment world. it appears where you read it, i mean yes, of course, it talks about the heavyweight investment funds that have been making purchases in the market, but let's not forget the market, but let's not forget the market has fallen substantially since 2016, and that fall means that assets are cheap, so if you are buying for the long—term, this is a good time to buy because you are looking at a sort of five—year,
5:52 am
perhaps even a ten year horizon. so my view is thatjust because... perhaps even a ten year horizon. so my view is that just because... so these are bargain hunters? of course they are bargain hunters, that is why they are there. they look for the best bargain and they buy it, so will not be too positive. pours cold water all over your optimism, everyone. thank you very much. at times, this is very interesting because there is often a divide between the arts and humanities and sciences, especially in the universities in the uk in particular, and people are either words or numbers. certainly, you feel there is a gap in understanding of the one that you do not fall into. this course that has been suggested, would do away with that, a kind of an interdisciplinary, a multi subject agree. what do you make of this? actually think that it isa make of this? actually think that it is a very, very good move. ——
5:53 am
degree. whether it could work, we do not know. it is going to be the first one in nearly a0 years in britain, but i think the notion that you are either one or the other in the world today, in a world were we all use technology so that even if you are from humanity side, you need to learn the technological ways of the world, so actually think that is the world, so actually think that is the way the future and what is interesting is the kind of firms that have practice, including mckenzie, virgin, and things like the funding circle, these firms that have actually backed this course and will take the graduates from this particular course, so i actually think it is probably a way to go. the university college london has actually a similar course, which was started by the same people starting this, and that has proved a great success and i think it now has some students. it seems as though this is the way to go, this sort of false
5:54 am
split between the humanities and the sciences, really are not so sure is fit for the world today. and just recently, caravaggio, could be up for more than £100 million when it goes on sale, we do not even know if it is genuine. that is the thing, this is not work that was found in someone's attic and i guess for me, iam someone's attic and i guess for me, i am always thinking i wish i could find things like that in my attic, sadly that has not been the case. it once again shows you the price of art, if it is indeed genuine. $100 million, caravaggio is amazing. i have seen one of his artworks in malta and it is absolutely amazing, so whoever writes this, lucky them. thank you forjoining us and thank you for watching. stay with us, plenty more still to come here on bbc news. well, we're just into march
5:55 am
and the weather has turned a little bit colder, after that very warm spell in february. now, the atlantic is looking very turbulent at the moment, look at those clouds swirling around. these are low pressure weather systems and here are weather fronts, one here — in fact, there's multiple weather fronts around. there's another one coming in from the south as well. all of that is heading in our direction and as promised, the coming days will be very changeable. some days will be wetter than others, but we'll all experience that changeable weather. so first thing in the morning, pretty mild, nine degrees in london first thing on friday. around five degrees expected in aberdeen and in edinburgh, a really murky, misty sort of start to the day, with a bit of drizzle, but it's not all bad because some of us on friday will actually get at least little bit of sunshine, particularly across these western areas, so cardiff, birmingham, the north—west of england, for example, around liverpool, could get some sunshine. the further east you are, the cloudier it'll be. now, a weather front is approaching, you saw the satellite image there. here's the first one, it moves into northern ireland friday night,
5:56 am
also the south—west of england and eventually wales, and other parts of the country will get that rain through the early hours of saturday. so early on saturday, again, a lot of mild weather, when we get cloud and weather systems coming off the atlantic, it does tend to be quite mild. so the weekend is looking very blustery across many parts of the uk. we will see a low pressure moving off the atlantic. here it is, friday night into saturday, as it moves in, a lot of isobars there, those white lines, these pressure lines, that basically means very strong winds. so the low pressure comes in, moves across ireland, the rain reaches belfast eventually. ahead of it for a time in the morning, it could actually be quite bright. and one place where we could keep the dry weather for most of the day and it may actually be really decent, that's london and norwich, temperatures here up to around 1a or 15 degrees. however, the weather will turn in the south because once this area of low pressure moves away, another one further south swings into southern areas of the country, so here we are expecting some pretty wet weather for cornwall, devon, parts of wales, the midlands, southern counties,
5:57 am
east anglia and the south—east, so many of us in southern parts of the uk will need our brollies on sunday. it's likely to be quite windy too. but northern areas, aberdeen there, enjoying some sunshine on sunday, with temperatures of around about 10 celsius. so it is all change, that warm weather we had in february will soon be a distant memory as this much cooler, showery weather continues into next week and it may last for quite some time. that's the latest.
