brexit or even those people who are remainers would actually live with. and we have been going on now for the best part of two years, well, it is three years in total, and we have got absolutely nowhere. until there isa got absolutely nowhere. until there is a complete change of prime minister, and i'm very sad about it, i don't mind saying, she has been let down. i think the quality of the negotiations have been very poor. she has been let down right across the spectrum. so we are keeping an eye, as we always do. we will see what happens this week, if anything, any progress or not. i don't see myself. let us look at the trade discussions going on the us and china. the south china morning post looking at what should china do in response to the fact that president trump increased tariffs pretty significantly on friday and their headline is best tojust significantly on friday and their headline is best to just walk away. hands in the air, walk away. both sides lose. i thought amanda was excellent in her dissertation of

president lou, i understand what he is coming from. in the united states, with the intellectual property they make out of places like china, $128 billion last year. that is a catastrophically large amount do not pay attention to. let us move amount do not pay attention to. let us move onto the daily mouth front page. very cute little feet. baby ah chee's toes. we're not talking about that —— archie. we're talking about the ceo of tesco. saying enough is enough. the high street cannot effectively compete under the conditions in the uk with straits. so therefore big online players have to pay more in terms of tax. your thoughts? one of my greatest irritations since the subject of brexit came up whenever it was, four yea rs brexit came up whenever it was, four years ago, is the government has been totally preoccupied by that and has failed to understand the many problems. this is one of them. business rates brings in a lot of

before, ebay, due date, et cetera. we to follow these days. —— eat by. it is because we have these terrible things where you have to be so careful, but on the other side of the coin is, surely when you talk about these food banks, until such time as we have sorted this area out this is absolutely... consumers to be offered smaller portions as well. we can buy the amount of food we actually need, as opposed to a huge amountand actually need, as opposed to a huge amount and therefore you throw half of it out. exactly right. again, it is just of it out. exactly right. again, it isjust smart ideas of it out. exactly right. again, it is just smart ideas were getting around these problems. but you have to try to actually implement them. august talk. but to do something is so important. yes, absolutely. there we have the front page of the times, jodie comer with phoebe waller—bridge, best drama, best actress towards. we loved it. can't

hello there, good morning. it was 18 degrees again on sunday, but for many of us it's going to get warmer over the next few days. the weather this week looks very different from what we had last week. this was a typical weather pattern — jetstream to the south. we were in the colder air. that brought showers and longer spells of rain, as much as an inch of rain in some places last week. but, at least for the next few days, the jetstream is deflected well to the north of the uk. we're in the warmer air, and we've got high pressure that's dominating and keeping it dry just about everywhere. having said that, though, there is this cloud that's spilling around the top of it. that's pushing its way into scotland, and it's not as cold here as it has been during recent nights. pretty chilly elsewhere, mind you, and maybe a pinch of frost here and there, especially towards east anglia. the cloud across northern scotland is going to produce a little rain and drizzle. that's going to be affecting shetland first thing in the morning. tail end of a weather front —
5:56 am
that moves through and we're left with some thin, high cloud. it means the sunshine could be a little hazy at times. not going to spoil the day — plenty of sunshine, light winds for most of us, and temperatures continuing to rise. maybe 20 degrees were parts of northern ireland and around the moray firth as well. as we head through tuesday and wednesday, still looks pretty good across some southern and eastern parts of the uk. temperatures are going to be around 17—18 degrees. warm in the sunshine, but there will be an easterly breeze. temperatures, though, will be higher further west and north, north wales, north—west england, northern ireland and scotland, with 23 degrees or so perhaps in scotland on wednesday. that's probably the peak of the heat. and that's because after that, the position of the high, the centre, is going to shift further north, up towards scandinavia. it opens the door to this easterly airflow, and there's lower pressure across the continent that could eventually bring cloud and some patchy rain our way. still dry, though, i think on thursday, and some sunshine around. we'll see a bit more cloud coming in off the north sea, and we'll have this easterly breeze as well. that's going to be felt certainly around those north sea coasts. but even further west, temperatures won't be quite as high on thursday as they will be on tuesday and wednesday. and as we move into friday,
5:57 am
still a lot of uncertainty about the details, but we are seeing more cloud. we're seeing some showers or some longer spells of rain. now it's a little bit further south. what is more certain, though, is that the temperatures will continue to drop away in those easterly winds, and with more cloud, we're back to around 14—16 degrees, so that's nearer normal for this time of year. but ahead of that, for the next few days, a lot of warmth, a lot of sunshine, dry weather too. the weather starts to change, though, during thursday and into friday.
