in the times business section, several big fund managers believe that oil companies should shut themselves down because soon they will become impossible to invest in as the world switches to renewable energy. and finally in the ft, marvel latest film, avengers: endgame, has become the first film to gross more than $1bn globally in its opening weekend, smashing all previous records and cementing disneys dominance of the movie industry. it's great to have him in the studio. are your kids hassling you to see endgame. they haven't, but i'm a bit concerned after hearing your three sons did. they lobbied me

from friday afternoon. interesting to see the take of el pais on this. i felt it was quite conservative, the way it was written, not massive celebrations. the champagne is p°ppin9 celebrations. the champagne is popping to a degree. i don't think the numbers of different from what polling was showing. 29% what they ended up with and are expecting 30. the key is, they haven't got a majority, even if they go into coalition with podemos. they will be 11 seats short. this is still a story of political fragmentation in spain and it's also a story about the structure of spain going forward because the socialist party has historically been a defender of autonomy for the regions. the big vote, the 2a seats that have gone to vox has gone to a party that questions the entire regional structure that was brought in

following the departure of franco so they want a nationalist picture to be totally different and it's a question of where the socialists go to make up the final part of the coalition. it's interesting you make that point about vox because they are extremely critical of the independence movement on the part of catalonia, that region which rocked spanish politics two years ago and continues to have a huge ripple effect, with many political leaders still behind bars. indeed, but the erc, the catalan left of centre party which looks like it might form pa rt party which looks like it might form part of this coalition for the left of centre government, so the question around the catalan story, which is really what is brought about this selection in the first place, politicalfragmentation about this selection in the first place, political fragmentation in spain, particularly since 2015. there was a strong two—party system but there isn't any more. the writer is fragmented completely which is

why the partido popular is lost so many seats in catalonia will be a big talking point going forward. this is another example of an election where we are not getting more the established parties winning majorities, or even the established opposition. we are seeing new parties coming in, the electorate saying, we need change. this is happening worldwide. it is happening worldwide and it has interesting implications for what's going on in the uk at the moment. let's move on to that. the independent looking at the european elections and some local elections in the country as well. brexit news, conservatives say —— face european elections dropping. the worst in six years. the conservatives don't want to fight the european elections. wright do the european elections. wright do the others? that's a good point. in

order to not fight them they would have to get the withdrawal agreement through parliament this week and that's not going to happen. they will end up at least having european elections in this country but what the conservative party does is questionable. as you rightly say, neither of the two big parties as a coherent policy. at least not one that unites the two. the grass have different policies. this independent stories saying the conservatives will get a drubbing. the big news in the last week or so has been nigel farage's brexit party which will get the largest load. the local elections are coming up this week and that actually could be more damaging for theresa may because it looks like the conservatives will ta ke looks like the conservatives will take a real drubbing at the polls. what impact will this have on the government's ability to get a deal through parliament? none, because it

won't change any of the numbers that have taken place in westminster. it would actually impact anything u nless would actually impact anything unless it is so catastrophic that there is a move against theresa may but that has been mooted many times and it hasn't happened. even when it does happen, the parliamentary arithmetic will not change until or u nless arithmetic will not change until or unless there is a general election and even then, on the basis of what we've set in spain, the fragmentation of politics may mean there is no change there either. i'm afraid we are in this loop for a while. let's talk about this story. it's in the business section of the times. have i skipped over it? i really wa nt times. have i skipped over it? i really want to talk about this, it's really want to talk about this, it's really interesting. the front page ofa number of really interesting. the front page of a number of papers including the metro. give us your phone or we will drop the case, rake them is told, is the headline. —— rate. they have to

sign away the rightful to look into their phones and look at the history on their phones. as if the history is somehow relevant to a current rape case. what do you think? i can understand why an immediate bit of information, a text sent between the two people in the alleged case or a text that was sent subsequently by one of the people about the alleged case, i can see why that would be releva nt case, i can see why that would be relevant but why somebody‘s entire history, phones, photographs, by thatis history, phones, photographs, by that is relevant, i don't know. it affects the case, doesn't it? only a little bit. if you are an alleged rape victim and there is something on your phone that suggests you correspondent with somebody other than the pope —— perpetrator, to talk about the incident, that is

releva nt talk about the incident, that is relevant but if the object is to look what you might have said to the alleged perpetrator, surely it would be on that person's phone as well. there are going to be a lot of people who are very unhappy. most legal cases would see disclosure mean there is access to everything. if you decide to sue somebody, that everything in our life is open season as everything in our life is open season as far as police is concerned. we will see how it goes forward and the impact on those who wa nt to forward and the impact on those who want to come forward. that's the concern. people will say there is a lot in my history... everybody has something on the phone that people don't want others to see. it could potentially stop people coming forward. let's talk about oil. writing on the wall for oil, say several big fund managers, believing

oil companies could shop themselves down soon. what you think about this? i read this, and i'm not so sure. labour it doesn't really tally with what the oil companies have been saying. they were saying that 1596 been saying. they were saying that 15% of energy will be renewable by 2040 and these fund managers are saying, unless it's a great deal more than that, bp won't be worth investing. also, bp, shelland others give out such great dividends all the time. every pension fund out there. it's not great. you know what i mean. pension funds will continue because of the return they get. all the numbers, i'd say... they are seeing as the gift that keeps giving in terms of dividends within pension funds. bp say on current trends, 1296

of their business will be solar by 2040 if they are to adhere to what these fund managers are saying, and thatis these fund managers are saying, and that is a significant difference. although a lot of the numbers in this article seem weird, not least of which is 24% of 39 fund managers. i'm glad you've done your research. no time to talk about the marble movie but my 11—year—old saw it, it was nearly three hours long, he sat still, he loved it and he said it went by like a flash. so what can you say, it's worth seeing, i think. that is it for the briefing. see you later, goodbye.

hello there. a weekend that began with wind and rain ended on a relatively quiet note across most parts of the uk. that is how we start the new working week, with some dry weather for most of us. western areas will see some rain, and that will slowly spread eastwards over the next few days. could be some fog patches to contend with, and for a time, butjust for a time, it will turn a little bit warmer. this is what's going on — the view from space, the satellite picture from a little earlier on. you can see a few stripes of cloud trying to push in from the west, but all these frontal systems making very, very slow progress, so this one on monday morning really only draped across the far west of the uk. elsewhere, high pressure in charge, very light winds, hence we have some mist and fog patches around. they should tend to clear through the morning, and in most places, monday will bring some spells of sunshine. best of the sunshine likely to be found across scotland. but remember that front in the west, still dangling its way down into northern ireland, west wales, the south—west of england, with some patchy rain at times. here, relatively cool — 12 in belfast, 13 degrees in plymouth. but come further east, we'll be up into the mid—teens, maybe 18 or 19 degrees across some parts of scotland. then we go through monday night,

and we'll continue to see these areas of cloud and patchy rain in the west. perhaps some heavier rain reaching northern ireland later in the night. elsewhere, some clear spells, some mist and fog patches, also some low cloud rolling in from the north sea. most of us not having a particularly chilly night, maybe parts of eastern england and eastern scotland getting relatively close to freezing. so we get on into tuesday, and it is more of the same, to all intents and purposes. still some rain in the west, heavier rain for northern ireland, maybe fringing into western scotland, the far west of wales and cornwall later in the day. further east, some spells of sunshine, and for many of us tuesday will be the warmest day of the week, with highs between 17—20 degrees. i say tuesday will be the warmest day of the week because that warmth isn't going to last. as we move out of tuesday into wednesday, this front which will have been in the west eventually moves its way eastwards, taking cloud and showery rain with it. the rain will be quite sporadic, quite on—and—off, and there is some uncertainty aboutjust how quickly this band of cloud and rain will slide its way eastwards. but ahead of this band of cloud and rain, this frontal system,

there will still be some warmth holding on across the south—east corner, so temperatures here could get close to 20 degrees. but behind the weather front, well, this is where things start to change. it turns much cooler and fresher from the north—west, that cooler feel extending to all parts on thursday. and by friday, it could potentially feel very chilly indeed, with northerly winds across the uk, and showers for some of us.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. 0ur headlines today: rape victims will be asked to hand over their mobile phones to police and prosecutors, under controversial new measures aimed at making trials fairer. millions of over—50s could pay thousands of pounds a year, under radical plans to solve the elderly care crisis. not adding up. 17 million workers struggle with basic maths skills and it's costing businesses £20bn a year. inching their way to the title.
