defeated the incumbent president, petro poroshenko, who had been in power since 2014. in the guardian financial pages, two in five people working in british banking sector have parents who also worked in the industry, more than three times the national average for other types ofjobs. there are now calls for the industry to set targets to increase diversity. and finally in the times, are you a parent trying hard to convince a teenage to give upjunk food? well apparently its much more effective to explain how corporate companies spend billions on advertising to manipulate them into eating their products as opposed to whether the food is unhealthy and bad for you. with me is alpesh patel who's ceo of praefinium partners.

somebody who eats a lot ofjunk food, that is what you are saying. i'm sure this will resonate with a lot of people around the world. let's start with this terribly upsetting story, as people celebrating easter sunday in sri la nka celebrating easter sunday in sri lanka targeted in bomb attacks at churches and hotels. this is christian persecution. it is what the british prime minister spoke of over the weekend, that there is persecution of christians throughout the world. the sri lankan prime minister has said there are international links and islamic terrorism was behind it. the us has linked it to saudi arabia's background of extremist islamic thought. if this was catholic extremism, if such a thing existed,

you would go to the pope and say, you would go to the pope and say, you have got to speak out. saudi arabia is presumably the spiritual home of islam, and you need to get them to speak out. they have condemned it, but they need to condemned it, but they need to condemn it even more. you need to go to the people the extremists are listening to and who are propagating extremist thought. at this point we are not clear on who was behind it. the sri lankan prime minister says he has named a group that they believe was behind it, and he has specifically said, which is why i have said it is islamic terrorism. normally they would claim responsibility straightaway. well, it is somebody, because it is co—ordinated. i am going at the moment with what the sri lankan government is saying, because we have to be cautious on what we're saying but that is what they have been reported as saying in the mainstream media. on point about

a ccu ra cy mainstream media. on point about accuracy and the authorities being concerned about what information is out there and how it is being spread, we saw a pretty swift clampdown. sri lankan 's deserve praise for this. if you were to put into google "death by what's up". this is a machine today, you can kill people with one of these. lots of deaths through misinformation and fa ke of deaths through misinformation and fake news on whatsapp. they have problems with fake news, and the sri lankan authorities, being fearful, realising that all it takes is one oi’ realising that all it takes is one or two people who would make hay out of this, who would write in, watch

out for people who look like this, i'm not even going to say it because they will take a clip from bbc news and say look, it was x, y, z, but... i have seen friends in whatsapp using the safety function to let people elsewhere in the world no that they are safe. it is better that they are safe. it is better that that safety was delayed than the amount of damage you can do with this. in southeast asia, and i have seen it in india, some innocent people are mob lynched. let's move on to vox. an extraordinary result in the ukrainian election, but maybe

not so, because it became clearer and clearer as we approached polling day that someone with no political experience, an actor and comedian, was looking like he would win and he has one. you talk about actors, but think about ronald reagan, who is better known as a politician than an actor. ukraine, if you look at their economy, it has taken a dive. in terms of inflation, cost of living, people on the breadline. clearly they have said, we have had enough of the professional political classes, but clearly — the most popular man in the world who won by a democratic election happened to previously have been selling tea at railway stations, the prime minister of india. the largest electoral victory in their history of the world, he was a tea seller. it is a move towards populism that meant clinton and bush didn't win last

time in the american elections, for instance, because this idea of some kind of, you sort of have a political legacy going from generation to generation, and great, you and i could go into politics! it looks like anybody can! and that is the point of it, we are supposed to be able to, it is meant to be for the people and this has proved it. i hope many more people will be inspired. goes to show anyone can be president, but when it comes to the finance sector — you stand a better chance if your parents were in banking, according to the guardian. which is unfortunate for social mobility, because finance jobs are more highly paid. i know there is a lot of inbreeding that goes on in finance, i know, iam infinance. there is a serious problem here — if you are blocking out merit, blocking out people accessing it for the sake of social mobility, and ifound...

from an ethnic minority, you are more likely across society to have a temporary contract and be paid less for the same work, even if you have the same qualifications and you factor out things such as qualifications and allow for merit, you are still likely to be paid less. in finance that seems like it will be even more exacerbated. this is not good for financial industries, because research shows diversity leads to better results for companies and corporations and all the rest of it. so a lot of negativity, how do you resolve it, how do you change it? i guess you keep pushing those who have never thought of applying, those who wouldn't normally get access, to apply. trust me, it is a bit like politics, you couldn't do any worse than the people in financial services are doing at the moment. we are still in a period of growth so let's not talk them down too much.”

went through the credit crunch, i talk them down at every opportunity ican get talk them down at every opportunity i can get my hands on, just don't go into tv presenting, ben is happy where he is. i'm not sure what that says about me and your opinion of me! hopefully they won't take the approach to that advice to you, teenagers take to being told what not to do, this is about reverse psychology. i wonder how many millions they spent on the research to say that with reverse psychology teenagers it works. maybe that's the way to go, given the climate protests. every time you eat a beef burger, the amount of rainforest being cleared out to make the grazing land for killing and breeding cows, which are contributing to global warming, maybe that is the way to go. we

haven't got mcdonald's here to respond, or other corporations, so they may have practices that avoid ra i nfo rest they may have practices that avoid rainforest being cut down. they are breeding cows. that is inevitable, if it is the beef industry... health benefits to teenagers, they couldn't ca re less. benefits to teenagers, they couldn't care less. i'm sure it worked with some, but the fact that there is an evil corporation. i'm sure it goes with this whole millennial stream of being anti— corporatist and more populist. but i think the climate aspects and the danger to the climate, you are destroying the environment every time you have a beef burger, but i'm sure mcdonald's would not agree with that.” beef burger, but i'm sure mcdonald's would not agree with that. i think you are talking about being woke! stay with us, plenty more to come.

hello. there are weather changes on the way this week, but we're going to see out the last day of this holiday weekend with plenty more sunshine and warmth. and what a weekend it's been! good friday, 2a degrees. saturday, 25.5. then, for easter sunday, in the sunshine it was the warmest easter sunday on record in scotland, northern ireland and in wales. the record in england, 25.3, still stands. it came close to that, just topping out at 24.6 at wisley in surrey. but, as i indicated earlier, another fine day on the way. now, the satellite pictures showed on easter sunday there was some cloud north—west scotland, the western side of northern ireland. that has actually pulled away, and we are starting today dry and clear across the bulk of the uk. a little chillier than this in some rural parts of central and eastern england, maybe a little misty in one or two spots, but it's a sunnier day in north—west scotland, the northern and western isles, in the western side of northern ireland, where you've had a few of cloud. but there will be high cloud spilling northwards through much of england and wales, the sun will be hazy, there will be more cloud around in recent days here. there may be a late shower somewhere in south—west england and south wales, especially on the hills, very isolated. temperatures — high teens, low 20s,

feeling every bit as warm, maybe mid—20s in the warm spots, it could be the warmest easter monday on record so we will keep you updated on that. it will be breezier, mind you. on through monday night into tuesday, well, a lot of high cloud around, still the chance for a few showers, channel islands, south—west england, south wales and temperatures where they have been chilly in recent nights will be higher. big picture for tuesday, drifting up from the south and on with the high cloud a bit of saharan dust as well, so cameras at the ready, there could be some fiery looking sunrises and sunsets to be watched on tuesday, and maybe for a few days beyond as well. a lot of fine weather again on tuesday. it is hazy sunshine. still fairly breezy out there. and still, the further west you are, you could pick up one or two showers as the day goes on. it's still very warm, though temperatures may have come down a degree or so on where they have been,

and that is a process that accelerates from mid—week. losing the warmth, low pressure setting up as it becomes unsettled and the cool air moves in, particularly at the end of the week and into next weekend. so, gradually turning cooler as the week goes on. you can see this process under way here. we are changing from sunshine to increasing chances of wet weather, not necessarily a bad thing on the gardens and the fields. so, the cooling trend, temperatures may be below average by next weekend, some showers, even some thunderstorms, spreading northwards. bye— bye.
