on the bbc news website, brunei has backtracked on laws introduced last month, that would have made sex between men and adultery punishable by stoning to death. sultan hassanal bolkiah has extended a moratorium on the death penalty to cover the new legislation. the rethink follows global outcry over the laws, including boycotts and celebrity protests. and finally, on the mail online website, an nhs nurse who ran the london marathon was told her guinness world record attempt would not count because she was not wearing a dress. jessica anderson was aiming to become the fastest female marathon runner dressed as a nurse, but her scrubs and trousers did not match the uniform criteria. that's got more of these stories. with me is henry bonsu, who's a broadcaster and international conference host. that's out of the daily telegraph.

theresa may is at her wits‘ end, desperate for a deal with labour. if that fails, it‘s now considering a second referendum. something she had ruled out many, many times. seems to bea ruled out many, many times. seems to be a lot of support without and the house of commons, not necessarily backbenchers but among labour inches and she needs jeremy backbenchers but among labour inches and she needsjeremy corbyn the leader to help her out with this. when you look at the possible terms ofa when you look at the possible terms of a referendum, what are the question be? it seems that it‘s going to be deal, no deal or remain and that‘s the only way you can go. if you are only offered her deal or remain, what about the people? many of the people say there would be happy with no peer —— no deal. she is caught between a rock and a hard place because of the talks with labour collapse, there is she going to go? she is going to be forced into a series of indicative votes which will force her to accept a public vote or referendum which she said she would never do. don't know if this is the case. it‘s just a suggestion. sources close to her. in

the meantime, there try to get a deal across the line and the daily telegraph are saying it may make concessions on a customs union and that has been a key sticking point with labour. she can only do that until next election. so either she will take this through and then build design and the next tory leader can decide whether to make permanent or not. all labour can then have the option at the next election to campaign to make it permanent or deliver something else was not because in the end, she wa nts to was not because in the end, she wants to be the prime minister who delivers on the result ofjune 2016 but remember, 17.4 also million people say they want to live, 60 normal million people say they want to stay. parliament is very much bit as well. it makes you wonder, that all of this is going to push labour one way 01’ all of this is going to push labour one way or another because as you said, a lot of labour inches you wa nt said, a lot of labour inches you want another referendum. jeremy corbyn has been very much on the fence about this in the sense that
5:48 am
he doesn‘t want one. fence about this in the sense that he doesn't want one. is it going to be in the interest to not make a deal if that is what they want? indeed, because in the end if we do leave the european union and we know the vast majority of labour voters wa nt to the vast majority of labour voters want to stand the european union, jeremy corbyn hardcore left, will be seen as popping up a tory government under tori brexit even if there is a customs union, many are backbenchers and other supporters will never forgive him for that. something we‘ve been discussing in the business briefing and great detail, trump fires business briefing and great detail, trumpfires up business briefing and great detail, trump fires up trade while with the higher china tariffs. we are all wondering, what has gone wrong since friday when the mood was very positive and progress is being made to sunday when donald trump treats, it‘s not happening fast enough, i‘m going to double down on this. you might call it a richard nixon style madman strategy or it mayjust be that trump is having a quiet weekend and he gets bored and the adults out

of the room, who knows? it may very well be him shortly before the talks about to start panicking the chinese into making further concessions but he may have spooked them to the point where they don‘t get on the plane and don‘t fly from beijing to washington because the vice premier was going to come in and hopefully conclude these talks because there was an “— conclude these talks because there was an —— there was three months before the trade well that cost a huge amount of money. trump says it asa win—win, huge amount of money. trump says it as a win—win, and the great results have been buoyed up this trade well. if you are a soybean farmer or a picnic spot in the united states, you are hurting at the moment even if you are getting some subsidy. you are hurting at the moment even if you are getting some subsidylj suppose if you are getting some subsidy.” suppose he would argue that this was not going to work, everyone said it was going to be a disaster. there may be people who are suffering but in his view it as had a positive effect was not the revenues have contributed significantly to economic growth is up china at that the table in the conversation is happening, people makes could decide

to strategy but you wonder whether this doubling down might work. to strategy but you wonder whether this doubling down might workm depends on what yourjudge and jury is. what your measure, water indicator is a stop if this indicator, and the reason that he started this trade while in the first phase, is the massive 370 $5 billion deficit. it‘s going the wrong way because it is now increased to 419.2 billion, that is not good. let's talk about a bonnet. they are making massive losses. distraction bonnet. they‘re aiming to go to market with $100 billion estimate it was at a lot of my lustre. their initial appeals on thursday, we‘ve got drivers all over the country, over the us particularly in new york where you‘ve got this new york city taxi workers alliance, the members have voted not to drive uber and its all to do with pain conditions, they wa nt to do with pain conditions, they want a to do with pain conditions, they wanta minimum to do with pain conditions, they
5:51 am
want a minimum wage. are they workers, other employees or are they freelancers? 0f workers, other employees or are they freelancers? of course they say they are not. we have a duty of care to a certain point. it's a big conundrum. it's certain point. it's a big conundrum. it‘s been going on since to buy mike come into existence. it's also the case in this country this is the big question. is that you have a strike enough to damage the initial public offering? that‘s they‘re doing it at this time. we will see, it's going to bea this time. we will see, it's going to be a very interesting week for uber. and many of the country —— companies that are involved in the sharing. let‘s have a look at brunei, huge controversy where they said they would enforce the laws stoning people who took part in gay sex 01’ stoning people who took part in gay sex or infidelity forced they have backtracked. they have, and the gay rights activist will be seen, hurray. this is a massively very ‘s
5:52 am
victory for social media. they thought they were untouchable but it‘s come back to the table that this is like a total collapse. the reinstatement of this moratorium which was only in place, it‘s been in place for a number of years but, the new laws came in from the third of april and within a month they backtracked was not identical to happen that quickly but, it sure is that money talks. it is interesting because we didn‘t analysis of how much it would take to force them to the table and where it would hit them in the pocket. the suggestion was that it needs to be about oil because while the hotels are a business interest and an ongoing concern, it‘s not going to be enough to force them to rescind this. companies are saying, i‘m not going to book a hotel for an event. it‘s not just to book a hotel for an event. it‘s notjust individuals, it‘s notjust celebrities. the fact that it is had a knock—on effect. celebrities. the fact that it is had a knock-on effect. it's become a global mass movement. to force an
5:53 am
absolute ruler to come back to the table or to rescind this, it‘s really quite to try a. interesting story in the mail 0nline. this is about the london marathon which was last week on sunday. a nurse ran it in her outfit and she did a great time. three hours. for an amateur runner, that‘s great. she was happy to make it into the chemist weld records but not so. it‘s gone wrong? she was wearing medical scrubs. it depends what you consider a nursing uniform to be foster when i go to hospital they tend to be wearing a blue tunic and black trousers was upset she wasn‘t wearing out but she wasn‘t bring the traditional old pi nafo re wasn‘t bring the traditional old pinafore either. and i blame them both. both she and the guinness book of records, should have agreed on what constitutes a nurse‘s uniform. she raised £20,000, and she is a
5:54 am
heroine, to do three hours and eight minutes wearing that, that‘s fantastic. so the guinness world records have said inquisitors and respective values that we hold extremely deal, we always need to ensure that we can differentiate between categories. this record title is long overdue for review. the reality is that a male nurse would not be expected to run on a tunic, would he? it does seem quite unfair. you do hope for her sake that they change the rules. exactly. and in this area of fluidity and diversity, they can go back in time. get with the programme, guinness. good to see you, thank you very much. thank you very much for watching, much more to come. to stay with us, we‘ll have more
5:55 am
good morning. two key elements to our bank holiday weather. one is the continuing chill. the other is going to be the position of this weather front. this is where the main focus for showers will be, and that will be drifting its way southwards through the day. it‘s around parts of southern scotland, northern ireland into the start of the morning. it means, either side of it, a good chance of a frost around, particularly to the far south of england and wales, and also across northern scotland. temperatures in rural areas below freezing, but here, a sunny start to the day. quite a bit of cloud in between. showers to start with in southern scotland, but brightening up quite quickly into the afternoon. a scattering of showers developing for northern ireland, north wales, the north midlands, towards east anglia, particularly during the afternoon, and some of those during the afternoon, across the pennines and peak district, could be a little bit on the heavy side. now, the winds will be mainly light tomorrow, so if you do get some sunshine, it will feel quite pleasant, but the temperatures still down on where we should be at this time of year. potentially one of the coldest may bank holidays since we started in 1978. temperatures just about 12 or 13 in the south, still in single
5:56 am
figures for many in the north. glasgow could hit around 12 celsius. the wettest rain will be sitting there or thereabouts as we go through the night and into tuesday morning, just because there‘s not much in the way of wind around. it‘s not going to move a great deal. to the south of it, a greater chance of avoiding frost at this time, with a fair amount of cloud. a widespread frost to start tuesday morning. so there is a weather front to begin. this is where we‘re most likely to see showers first thing on tuesday morning. but as temperatures start to lift through the day, a little bit of sunshine, notice there‘ll be showers breaking out here and there. can‘t promise you‘ll get one, can‘t promise you‘ll stay dry, but what we will see is potentially a bit more sunshine, and slightly less chilly conditions across the south later. still cold, though, for many. but as we go through the night and into wednesday, this weather system will be working its way in, bringing some milder air across france, and strong, windy conditions, which could just hit the south coast. to the northern side of our low, cold winds, and it‘s here we‘re likely to see the rain, some actually more widespread and significant rain across england and wales.
5:57 am
that will be welcome to some in england and wales, where it‘s been very dry over the past month in particular. we could see 10—15 millimetres quite widely, especially on the hills, a bit more maybe. and later on, as skies brighten across the south, some slow—moving, heavy and thundery downpours. for many, though, easterly winds will dominate the northern half of the country, especially where we have the rain in south—east scotland in the afternoon. temperatures at best around seven or eight degrees. that slow weather system will slowly start to pull away northwards and eastwards as we go through the week. there will still be some rain at times, wettest, though, mid—week. and throughout, like we start it, it‘s going to be fairly chilly in the morning and still fairly cool by day. bye for now.
