good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: popular than open platforms. the daily telegrpah and the rose review, which is a document that highlights the funding gap faced by female entrepreneurs. and finally, the times, which has a very interesting story about the bbc testing new technology to help us decide what to watch on cat—chup tv, when we're faced with a wealth of programmes public satisfaction in the nhs falls and can't make a decision! to its lowest level in over a decade — a new survey highlights waiting times and a lack of funding as the main causes for concern. a manchester miracle in paris. against all the odds, united, knock paris saint germain out of the champions league, thanks to an injury time penalty, so let's begin. awarded by var. with me is priya lakhani, founder and ceo was to get their first goal, be in of century tech — a uk—based education technology platform. the game with five minutes ago, or ten to go, and we were —— the plan let's get stuck in. so we started was. why is tech still dominated by men? with this story that is dominating this week, and for good reason in the uk, the terrible wave of knife crime it's been going on in recent

weeks and be argument between the prime minister and the home secretary. another incident in london's streets but it beggars belief how our prime minister is denying a link between a cut of 21,000 police officers and increased knife crime. even now met commissioner cressida dick said there is some link. sajid javid has been meeting with police leaders. geoff barton, the leader of the association of school and college leaders had a freedom of information request where 16 police forces responded. 175a knives and knuckledusters and cases were found in schools but only 16 forces responded. if you've got over 1700

of these weapons being found in school, where they can't cope with this issue, and you haven't got the local police forces, you can start to see how these weapons on the streets. this is the most stubborn prime minister but i've ever seen andi prime minister but i've ever seen and i think this is an issue where she is actually got to pipe down a little bit and hearfrom her experts who are actually in this area. many will argue as home secretary prolonged period, she was in there much longer than her predecessors, it was seen as a poisoned chalice. she had to oversee during that time some very tough. many would argue she handled that. as you say, she is defending what she did. what we expect our politicians and ministers

to do is look at the situation today. if anyone likes bar charts, on the bbc website, there is a bar chart of what the increased looks like. what we are asking is the current date. someone has got to deal with it at the end of the day. people are feeling unsafe. there is nothing they are able to do, there has got to be a change of some sort. philip hammond is saying that he's not going to announce any increase in spending so i think it depends on what happens on the 12th. that's true. there could be a deal dividend. let's watch this space. the financial times says a blow for

tampines tariff policy fails to halt trade deficit, hitting a 10— year high. this is the number of goods going into the united states, much higher than the number of goods going out to the rest of the world and despite all his efforts with trade policy of which he has been extremely busy, he's been very busy, this is not what he wanted. when this is not what he wanted. when this big promises was reducing the trade deficit. he had this big trade war. he also renegotiated nafta with his allies, canada and mexico. absolutely. it's backfired. what's really interesting is economists are saying because of the strong us economy, it means that us consumers are buying foreign goods. they are buying more foreign goods. therefore

there is a drop. there is always a balance between imports and exports. we've touched a little bit on facebook, with the business insider here which is unpacking at 3000— word blog post on the part of mark zuckerberg. d think he's had a bit ofan zuckerberg. d think he's had a bit of an epiphany, that we don't want to be publicly connecting or telling the world all about our day—to—day comings and goings in pictures and what have you? no, i think they've seen 15 million us users when i saw that article. that had ads going out over the last few months. theyjust don't dig its working. they say now, we are a huge business. we have the technology, we are in this company.

he knows there is a move towards people wanting that courtesy. there isa people wanting that courtesy. there is a huge backlash over the past year. this is reallyjust to save the bands —— the brand image of facebook. facebook owns instagram and whatsapp. whatsapp is encrypted. you are saying, from looking at other technology giants, some of them in china. stilla other technology giants, some of them in china. still a lot of room for advertising and money to be made. open targeting on facebook will no longer be possible. we don't know how much money facebook actually makes from direct messaging and adverts. we've set e—commerce into websites. you can buy goods through wechat, you can order food. i think it's a very smart strategy.

we will see how it evolves. the daily telegraph frontpage has story about the rose review commissioned by the treasury and coming out today showing the first time, the scale of the barriers faced by women wanting to set up their own business. it's called the rose review because alison rose of rbs has done this review. i'm glad it's on the front page. this is something we discuss all the time here on the briefing and on business live because i meet lots of female entrepreneurs who found it really hard to raise money. it's pretty dire. £32 million is raised by women only teams can pad to £5 billion for men only teams because a significant portion might have been my business and me but there is a bigger issue here because i think there was a report by divest tvc about the fact that only 0.5% of

venture capital went to this as well. women don't apply for funding. i think this goes all the way back to actually the day when we are born, i think girls are taught that failure is not ok, all these reports about playgrounds, boys got the fireman ‘s poll and have fun. i think we don't teach our girls. there are tons of studies done. it's a huge issue. for risky ventures. i think it's a huge issue and not trying to also there are huge issues with the old mail investor in all theseissues with the old mail investor in all these issues we talk about, there area these issues we talk about, there are a lot of problems. it's a wider issue. it is far more complex. we will talk some more about it. it's a great report. the bbc planning to

ta ke great report. the bbc planning to take a great report. the bbc planning to takea drama great report. the bbc planning to take a drama out of family viewing. i haven't got the insider knowledge of the bbc as to what this is about. we spend an hour a day looking for programmes. when we sit down as a family, it takes ages to decide on something to watch together. my kids under control and are given the opportunity to do that. they say, mummy, you only watch the news. i think it's a bit of fun but the bbc is experimenting with recommendations and that is exciting and read the story and thought this was really fit —— frivolous but netflix do it and this is the bbc‘s first faure. thank you very much, but to have your company. have a really good day, wherever you are. there you are. a vigorous jet stream pushing areas

of low pressure right across the uk is the weather pattern we're in. and we are staying in all the way through the weekend into next week as well. here is a recent satellite picture. this is swirl of cloud is an area of low pressure, edging its way eastwards. the but as it does that it is dragging in behind it some colder air as well. and what will be a strong and gusty wind as we go on through thursday. we've still got some wet weather to clear away as well. most noticeable, for thursday's weather, will be that strong wind. and for many of us how much colder it feels compared with wednesday. this is how we are starting the day. nothing particularly cold first thing, there is too much wind and cloud for the temperatures to have dropped too far overnight, and this is where we are starting the day with wet weather through northern ireland, scotland, some hill snow. it is pushing slowly southwards during the day, but not much reaching the far south of wales or southern england until quite late on. and, again, that's moving south with strong, gusty winds. let us take a wind speeds and temperatures during the afternoon at three o'clock and where the wet weather will be. very gusty winds. much of scotland will be brightening up. a few showers following on. wintry on the hills.

brightening up for northern ireland through the afternoon. a lot of cloud through northern england, into the midlands, east anglia, with the outbreaks of rain pushing south. bright spells in south wales into southern england, maybe the odd passing shower during the day. also very gusty winds. in the evening we will pick up showers in the far south and south—east. that is clearing away on thursday night and into friday morning. as that happens and the winds eventually ease, temperatures will drop away. plenty of widespread frost as friday begins. temperatures will be lower, away from towns and city centres. highland scotland could be —5 or —6 as friday begins. the odd mist and fog match. a lot of sunshine to start the day, not going to last. quite quickly cloud increasing from the west. quite a cold feeling day. you can see more hill snow to come in scotland out of that. that's friday covered. i want to show you the big picture for the weekend. still with the jet stream driving weather disturbances across us. it will be wet at times

over the weekend. looks to be pretty windy throughout the weekend as well. but still something to play for in the detail aboutjust how wet and when it will be wet. so keep up—to—date with the latest forecast, but these are the main thing is for the weekend. just bear in mind it's not going to be wet all the time, there will be some sunshine at times, too.
