as europe prepares to head to the polls, we've been in france looking at the growing strength of populist movements. taiwan's parliament is debating legislation that could see it become the first place in asia to allow same—sex marriage. huawei warns a us ban will affect tens of thousands ofjobs at its american suppliers, as walmart says the trade war will push up prices in its stores. now it's time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world. we begin with the daily mirror, and a story that's dominating most of the front pages today — theresa may has agreed to discuss a timetable for her replacement after the next vote on her brexit plan, which means she could be gone byjune. which leads us on to the times, and borisjohnson, who has been pretty quick to step in and say yes,

of course i want the top job! now the business front of the daily telegraph, and the bank of england slamming scare tactics of eu to lure city firms. the ft has the german start up launches taxi jet to beat traffic snarl—ups. it has been launched in germany. the independent has this story about racism in football, saying the englad squad do not plan to walk off the pitch to protest against racial abuse, they have questioned what benefit it would have in walking off saying their focus is on eduction instead. and finally, this corker of a story where an oversight by a trianee manager led ta group of businessmen

enjoying a £4,500 bottle of wine for the price of a £260 bottle that they ordered at a restaurant in manchester. luckily the wine waitress is keeping herjob! let us know what your guest work gaffs has been, get in touch with me on twitter. with me is fiona cincotta, senior market analyst at city index. let's start with politics, shall we? what is on the front page of lots of papers today. we like this headline on the daily mirror, may end injune stop the it's hard not to look and think i wonder whether she is offering herself up as a sacrificial bmb offering herself up as a sacrificial lamb —— may ends in. offering herself up as a sacrificial lamb -- may ends in. she is going to give it a fourth attempt. she is

saying... not happy, but she will go regardless of how her brexit deal doesin regardless of how her brexit deal does in parliament stop even if it is pushed through, she is still saying she will step down. the timeframes will obviously be different. the pressure has been mounting on her for weeks different. the pressure has been mounting on herfor weeks and months since she failed to deliver brexit to start moving on stop white one of the interesting things of her term in office has been her resilience, something she has made a lot about, sticking to the plan. interestingly a lot of papers today were commenting on being very upset, emotionally distraught. on the front page of the daily mirror they're saying the country in tears as boris leaves the race for the job. she's looking more and more bent over with this as time goes on. she is physically diminishing it seems.

it's a very good point you make, the resilience, that's something she's really prided herself on, giving up is not something in her vocabulary and she will see this through. the fa ct and she will see this through. the fact we've got to this fourth attempt and it's become a real struggle at best for her to get this through. and you know what, dear old borisjohnson, he through. and you know what, dear old boris johnson, he didn't through. and you know what, dear old borisjohnson, he didn't give any time whatsoever before he let slip, shall we say, which i'm sure was no slip whatsoever, that he was planning to stand for the tory leadership. this was at an insurance broker conference yesterday. theresa may has said she thinks it would be a better leadership contest if brexit was out of the way. surely thatis brexit was out of the way. surely that is wishful thinking? completely, that would involve her deal being agreed and pushed through on the third ofjune in orderfor the candidate, the next candidate in the candidate, the next candidate in the race, to work on other topics

like the economy and other points of interest for the uk public. wishful thinking, as you said. it's very unlikely, especially given the fact the cross—party talks with labour are stalling and breaking down that her deal is going to get through. boris was waiting in the wings to jump boris was waiting in the wings to jump out of. not surprising, we were all expecting this, there no massive surprise. the pound... looking at the markets, the pound doesn't like it too much, we saw it down to 1.8 versus the dollar overnight. —— one point to eight. —— 1.28. versus the dollar overnight. —— one point to eight. --1.28. it is interesting, he is presenting himself as the best candidate to stop the rise of nigel farage's brexit party, but there is obviously other people i'm sure in the race and i'm sure we will hear more from them. let's move on quickly to the business section of the daily

telegraph. this story on the front page, the bank of england, the deputy governor, sam goods, being quite strident about what he has been describing as scare tactics of eu officials to allure city firms out of the city of london, the financial heart of london —— lure. saying there will be a post brexit backlash against the city. is it too early? far too early, considering we don't know how brexit is going to look like and how it's going to turn out, we can't even start to suggest that and mr woods suggests that, we can't start to suggest what regulation will look like. he says he expects to see it roughly where it is now, so no major changes expected in regulation. let's talk about this story in the financial times. would you get up in one of

these, fiona, a taxi jet. people will be able to travel from jfk in new york to the centre of manhattan in six minutes. i've done that cab ride and normally it's an least our. who wants to go up in one of those? that would have been my first question, how long does it take now! by question, how long does it take now! by 2025 that's how urban travel will be revolutionised. there are still a few issues and challenges such as acceptance, infrastructure. it does also say the cost will be relatively similartoa cab also say the cost will be relatively similar to a cab ride. $80 they are saying for one of these rides. amazing, it takes off and lands vertically and then moves in horizontal flight. i don't vertically and then moves in horizontalflight. i don't know vertically and then moves in horizontal flight. i don't know how that's going to work with drones, amazon parcels doing the same thing! amazon parcels doing the same thing! a little sceptical on that at the moment! what do you make of this

story, we were talking about this in the newsroom, in the independent, gareth southgate, the england manager, his comments saying the england team will not walk off to protect racism —— protest racism. this is an ongoing problem for the whole sport really. they're trying to make a stand against racist abuse, turn the other cheek? do you think they should do more yes, fine, do an education programme? it's interesting what they say in the sense they opposing the question about what walking off would be achieving, and the players say they don't want to be remembered for this statement of walking off, they want to be known for football first and football to be the story rather than racial abuse. there is that slight feeling of turning the other cheek there, but the question of what would a statement like that actually achieve, it doesn't tend to lead to reform yet education does. in that

respect i'm in agreement with what they say. there is a comment that's really quite interesting here, gareth southgate says what matters most to him is how his players feel. this is a really interesting take on the conversation and it's perhaps not the comment we would hear from an england manager a few decades ago. very quickly, what do you make of this hawks wine mistake, hawksmoor being the restaurant, a 4500 hawksmoor being the restaurant, a a500 doppler bottle of wine given by accident —— $a500. a500 doppler bottle of wine given by accident -- $4500. they kept their job. a very lucky group of people that got that! the waitress kept her job and the publicity hawksmoor have got since has been pretty huge. not such a bad thing. and very positive. thank you, fiona. that is it, stay

with us on bbc news. hello. after what has been a largely dry and pretty warm week for many of us, things are about to change as we head through friday and into the weekend, turning a little bit more unsettled. but this is how we ended the day on thursday, a beautiful, serene sunset there in topsham in devon. during the day on friday, there's going to be more cloud across the country, and that cloud will bring with it a few spots of showery rain. we've still got some spells of sunshine on offer, but as we head through the day on friday, what we're going to see is this week frontal system moving its way in on this easterly breeze, so that will bring some cloud and outbreaks of rain too. now, during friday morning, the areas most likely to see the rain are across central and southern england, through wales as well. further north, perhaps the odd shower across parts of scotland but there will be plenty of sunshine once again in the bulk of scotland. more cloud working in across eastern parts of england during the day on that easterly breeze with one or two spots of rain. i think northern ireland should stay mostly dry, with a bit of sunshine. temperatures still 17 to 19 across northern ireland and scotland, but england and wales, you're more typically 13 to 16,

so cooler than it has been. so as we move through friday evening and overnight into saturday, we'll see more persistent, heavier rain working in from the east, particularly affecting scotland and northern england too. so quite a murky start to saturday here with that drizzly rain and low cloud too. further south, we're going to see some brightness to start off your weekend. but in general, the weekend is looking slightly cloudier and cooler than we've seen through this week. there will be some showers but it won't be a washout, a bit of sunshine on offer through the weekend too. so let's look at some detail then for saturday. what have we got? we've got low pressure sitting across central parts of europe, the winds rotating around that area of low pressure bringing us quite a bit of cloud off the north sea and some outbreaks of rain. the rain much of northern england and scotland through saturday morning. a few of those showers will push into northern ireland through the day. i think the southern half of england and much of wales should see some sunny spells through the morning, but a chance of showers breaking out almost anywhere during the afternoon. now, temperatures around about 1a to 18 degrees —

cooler than it has been — but there should be some brighter spells in the south. it will still feel quite pleasant. moving on into the second half of the weekend, and there's not much change in the pressure set—up so not much change in the weather. sunday, another fairly cloudy day, particularly in the north. there could be some sunshine in southern and eastern england in particular, but again, there'll be some showers. they'll be heaviest and most frequent in scotland, where we could have the odd rumble of thunder. a few showers further south too, but warming up a touch compared to saturday, so highs of around 13 to 19 degrees. bye for now.
