he also insisted the controversy about washing poultry in chlorine was purely an "animal welfare" issue. the mirror covers the ongoing controversy surrounding the uk reality tv showjeremey kyle. —— jeremy kyle. the welfare of guests on tv shows will be now scrutinised by mps and regulators in the wake of the death of a man who appeared on the program which has now been cancelled. and finally the mail leads with encouraging news on the fight against cancer. british scientists have announced the beginning of a new treatment revolution that could reduce cancer from a killer disease to a chronic condition. so let's begin. with me is rebecca harding, ceo and founder of coriolis technologies. let get stuck again. we have a

diverse range of stories today. starting with the times. we lead with this story yesterday and the comments from major general chris. he is part of the team leading the fight against is in the middle east. and he did directly contradicted what was coming out of the pentagon. we're talking about the relationship between the us and uk on many levels. this is about, to some extent, about us policy in the middle east and us policy in relation to its allies, about how intelligence is being shared under a new more isolationist policy that the us has. a point here is that we're not talking about low terrorist risk. we are talking about there being a risk of terrorism. there is always a risk of terrorism and our own rankings put the risk in

iran high and they have been increasing. the important point here is that this is a misalignment stop one journalist saying that there has not been an increase in terrorist risk the other says there has. this isa risk the other says there has. this is a conflict between two allies that could undermine operations in the region. they do work together in terms of operations in the region and in terms of fight again islamic state. and the ministry of defence was quick to support the comments from this major general and then the pentagon responded with their comments to say that they do not agree. when it comes to how they are working together in that area which, as you say, the threat is increasing because of the tensions between iran, israel saudi arabia... every day there is a lot happening and we have news of development from their every single day. the backdrop of us

policy here is that the us sends aircraft carriers, it is sending troops eventually and potentially. it is ina troops eventually and potentially. it is in a position where it sees iran asa it is in a position where it sees iran as a threat to its own national security. it has a confused policy in the middle east at the moment and so in the middle east at the moment and so far as it wants to pull out of syria but then the relationship between the us, russia, even china in the middle east is becoming very confused. this is all about us policy towards iran. what they want to make sure is that all their allies are aligned and again you can see analogies with trade was because wherein trade was they say that this is an under —— undermining of the wto, this is claimed to be an undermining of other global

statutes. we have only spoken about president trump in the white house issuing a national emergency when it comes to it. at the same time we have news of donald trump deferring new tariffs on cars and car parts coming from europe and japan into the us. a deferred decision on that for six months or more. in this article in the financial times talks about the fact that the us thinks it needs to choose its battles right now and they cannot fight with europe and japan over cars while taking on china full of i think there is a large extent to which thatis there is a large extent to which that is the case. the us negotiator has been trying to slow all of these things down for the last five months. there has been a relative truth across the world until very recently when the president went out on twitter and announced an increase in tariffs. things had actually been slow down. now the important thing here is that this has been a national security issue for the united states as well. the debate

has not gone away, the issue has not been gone away it has just been kicked down the road. the us wants to make sure that it's jobs are protected in the united states so again this is about american interest but just not again this is about american interest butjust not being able to fight all the battles at once. quite interesting because when you look at the reaction to the news that it is likely that the white house will delay decisions and give it a breather when it comes to car parts and car tariffs, the us carmaker stocks went up as well as the likes of vw and mercedes, all stocks around the world. they all rose on the news because for general motors and chrysler they rely on these car parts to make their cars and if ta riffs parts to make their cars and if tariffs rise on car parts makes it more expensive to build the cars. anything that looks like it is calming things down, the markets will react positively to. we have

seen an increase will react positively to. we have seen an increase in market all agility, that has absolutely been the case. but global supply chains in cars are absolutely integrated full of the problem here is that the world is integrated in terms of metals where there are already tariffs, in terms of components and electronics and this is the reality of globalisation. pulling this whole thing apart is quite complicated and imposing tariffs is not necessarily the way to go. let's look at the independent. liam fox, could this be a turkey for him? chlorinated chicken will not affect uk food safety. i must admit ijust think rose, what is chlorinated chicken?! this is something they do in the us to get rid of all salman eller and bugs,is to get rid of all salman eller and bugs, is that right? it is about the way in which they make sure that things like salman ella cannot get into the food change. we have a different approach. we try to stop salman ella at the source. and

washing the chicken in chlorine is something that happens in the united states. this is now being conflated with our post brexit trade negotiations with the united states. if we go to that, which is actually theissue, if we go to that, which is actually the issue, it is whether or not we should start having the come into the uk that are not aligned in terms of our regulations we have at the moment stop it is actually about the trade negotiations again rather than just chicken. absolutely. chicken is a minor detail. but it is about the broader picture of how liam fox is negotiating trade deals behind—the—scenes. he cannot officially negotiate anything until we actually leave the eu but he is co nsta ntly we actually leave the eu but he is constantly in conversation with his cou nterpa rts constantly in conversation with his counterparts all over the world. absolutely. and what he is saying here is that the wto does not specify you cannot import chlorinated chicken. so there is

scope for us having a separate trade deal with the united states. what the us is doing is saying well, in all of its trade deals whether they are with the eu orjapan or china or the uk, chicken and agriculture more general are absolutely key because this is actually american voters voting for trump because it is the agricultural heartland. in the uk, a programme, the jeremy kyle agricultural heartland. in the uk, a programme, thejeremy kyle show has been pulled from itv. just explaining this for international viewers. it is similar to thejerry springer show which many may be familiar with around the world where members of the public come on and they are grilled about the private life. tragically, one of the people who was on the programme one week after he was interviewed and asked to ta ke after he was interviewed and asked to take elijah take the test he took his own life. consequently the programme has been pulled. there is big debate about reality television

and whether these programmes really expose vulnerable people to the world of the media and the spotlight of celebrity and theyjust cannot cope with this. the duty of care on the part of broadcasters to look after them. i think there is something interesting here as well which is you have the television channels doing deals with the devil because these programmes make a lot of money. the problem is that there is absolutely a duty of care for television channels if they are going to run this type of thing because they are vulnerable people involved and we do not want this to happen again. we didn't get time for the story about cancer but i have tweeted it. it is a new innovation and good news. i will see you again soon.

hello there. the temperatures peaked atjust shy of 26 degrees celsius yesterday in highland scotland. it was warm for all, but the 26 will be the highest in this current warm spell because temperatures and the heat are gradually going to ebb away. it'll still be warm through the day ahead and feel pleasant enough, but the high pressure that's been ruling the roost is drifting a little further north across scandinavia, so it allows more of an easterly breeze to pick up and it will drag in more cloud as well. the combination will lower our temperatures. still through the night under the starry skies it has been chilly in some areas. could be a little bit of early morning mist and fog — that will clear — and sea fret and sea haar in the north and a few showers potentially for the western side of scotland but perhaps later for northern ireland. for most, another dry, bright, warm day with hazy sunshine. we pick up a little more cloud filtering west across england and wales and a bit more of a breeze, and those two together will knock the temperatures down a little but still looking to reach 20 degrees in the warmth in the north and west but we will notice the keen breeze

of the north sea coast. the sun is just as strong, be it 11! or 24. thursday and friday we started to pick up some rain. through the evening and overnight. initially quite light and patchy but through the day on friday it could turn heavier and it will blanket falling temperatures in the central and eastern areas. chilliest weather further north under clear skies. friday looks like a cloudier day, as you can see. there will be rain, thicker cloud, enough to give showery rain. making its way westwards and eventually to the eastern side of scotland, so we will hold onto some sunshine in the western of scotland and northern ireland, but temperatures again down another two or three degrees, because not only were we have rain but the winds will be stronger still on friday. very keen for the north sea coast. we lose those winds in the south as we go into the weekend but we do keep the cloud by then, with showers around and light winds that will be slow—moving. the devil's in the detail this weekend.

the weather front will bring more persistent rain to the northern half of the country, particularly scotland and northern england, perhaps not reaching northern ireland, and then further south we lose the wind but we pick up slow—moving heavy showers. they're close to a centre of low pressure. by sunday, that's almost gone and we're just into this very slack wind regime that means we will not see much whether generally slow—moving heavy showers moving out mostly in the north as temperatures start to bounce back in the south. as always, more regional detail on our website.
