into legislation on the back of what they calla campaign of misinformation. on buzzfeed the uk's relationship with the eu begs the question we're all asking about brexit. "what the hell happens now?" it's reported across the uk media that theresa may has plans to make a "bold offer" to get support for the withdrawal agreement bill. and finally techcrunch looks at how 1 million fans of games of thrones have signed a petition on change.org in what it calls a "futile" hope of getting a remake of the show‘s eighth and final series in order to get the ending changed. many are dissatisfied. many of you

have been in touch, actually. so many of you telling me here on #bbcthebriefing that they are not happy about the ending. have you seen this? i do not need game of thrones. reality is not to you without escapism. so that's looking back at the times. spy chiefs warning us chiefs of the risks of doing business with huawei. spy chiefs have had many, many briefings with top us tech firms to discuss their concerns about china et cetera and of course this is all in the backdrop of huawei. totally in the backdrop. the thing i am taking here is that you have both the mark warner who was a democrat and marco

rubio, you have actually cross—party support of this. which is at these days my fractures in us politics. it's very rare. i'm not surprised. i used to be abm, business development person for ge. i have building the manufacturing base. ip, intellectual property was one of the big issues. i'm not surprised to say what took us $0 i'm not surprised to say what took us so long to get there. you agree with the us' stance that there is real concerns about protection of intellectual property. absolutely. what about security? yes, because so many companies are interlinked with the government. especially if you area the government. especially if you are a nato country, if it's switzerland it's different, but if

you are a nato country, that is a real present concern. everything has several sides. you have to look at the other side at how interconnected the other side at how interconnected the supply chains of these companies are. intel, qualcomm, 50% of what they sell goes to china. apple produces a lot of its phones in china. this is very interconnected so china. this is very interconnected so it is very difficult to do this without causing real harm to the us economy. from huawei's respective they have always been very vocal about the fact that they are not run by the chinese authorities as such. that actually they are doing all they can to assure governments around the world that there is not a security concern or a security fear. yeah, ican security concern or a security fear. yeah, i can understand that. i see where they are coming from, then you have a government you are dealing with that will if it needs to, if it feels the need, it will intervene. look at why does google no longer run its search engine in china? it

doesn't run it anymore because not because it wants to, but because it has concerns over censorship. that is true. so it is a really tricky issue and as i said there are many sides to it. the commercial side, the security side to it and probably a combo discourse might be helpful —— calmer. a combo discourse might be helpful -- calmer. this is all happening when the united states and china are discussing their trade relationship and those discussions have not been going well at all. let's take a look at the japan times next. this poll, 61% back the prime minister's idea ofa summit 61% back the prime minister's idea of a summit with the north korean leader kim jong—un. give of a summit with the north korean leader kimjong—un. give us of a summit with the north korean leader kim jong—un. give us your thoughts on this. of course this is a very fraught relationship. yes. for many reasons. we know the japanese object to having missiles

flown in their direction for very clear and good reasons. but then we also have the issue of the abductees, about 17 japanese were abducted by the north korean regime. only if you have been returned so far. so up till now, abe has been rather right wing, rather tough. he said he would only meet with kim jong—un and if we can solve this abductee issue in advance. he is now softened his stance somewhat. it's interesting to see the people of japan seem to be behind him in this. indeed. basically this poll suggests a majority is saying they are for a meeting between these two leaders regardless of preconditions agreed. that may get us further. what is interesting is donald trump going to meet some of the families. that may give extra people to get these people back which would be a huge

win for abe. let's talk about the game of thrones going on in the middle of east. we've outlined the last couple of issues in how tensions are rising —— in the middle east. the golf news is talking about mounting tensions. you work with many clients in that region —— gulf news. give us your take on this. i'm very concerned because everyone says we don't want the war and it's good that the saudis want an emergency gcc to the golf corporation counsel —— gulf was the then you have attacks the pipeline, that's very important. you have these tankers that got attacked, you have the rhetoric, you have a us ship going out. squadrons of planes going out,

attentively under 20,000 — 120,000 people going out. attentively under 20,000 —120,000 people going out. and trump's tweed, what i'm concerned about is that nobody wants a war, but tempers are playing so much in this state. this isa playing so much in this state. this is a powder keg —— tweet. it could incinerate very easily. someone could light a match somewhere and it would fall and explode. and i'm really watching it with baited breath stop ok. really watching it with baited breath stop 0k. as we all are as well. cannabis issues, many countries around the world are considering about what they think about cannabis. laws are changing, but also about recreational purposes. some states legalised it in the us, colorado, its massive

business. huge. and gearing up for countries around the world, the uk being one of them. what is this article about ireland 7 being one of them. what is this article about ireland? some doctors understand the medical use, but they are deeply concerned about the medical use because they see it can really cause damage to people. so they say we are sleepwalking into this. you are sleepwalking, you, the government, are sleepwalking us into legalising cannabis without really addressing the issues that can occur if you use it for recreational use. so, i guess, if you use it for recreational use. so, iguess, like if you use it for recreational use. so, i guess, like everything, there are two sides to this coin as well. the debate will continue. let's give to game of thrones at the end. and buzzfeed looking at the — the debate and the campaign to change the end. techcrunch, not buzzfeed. we are not

doing? i see we're not brexit. we are doing game of thrones. no, i'm going to talk about brexit every day for the next few weeks, probably. 0h, for the next few weeks, probably. oh, shame. for the next few weeks, probably. 0h, shame. should viewers be allowed to see an end — a change to the end or should they go with what the producers and directors have decided? i doubt the pain, the power of the pen is held by the producer and director and the guy who writes the script. but obviously it is a free world and a democracy, if you like to change it you can noise voice your opinions. fully aware that the power of the pan firmly lies with the producer and director. right, thank you for being on the programme, cornelia. thank you for your comments on your thoughts. #bbcthebriefing is the place to have a look at the debate.

hello there. the weather is not looking too bad over the next few days. a mixture of bright spells and a few passing showers but the temperatures are going to be doing reasonably well over the next few days, pushing into the low 20s in the warmest spots. we will look at what happened yesterday weatherwise and we had plenty of showers around, this line of showers stretching from dorset across the midlands and into lincolnshire is where we had the heaviest downpours caused by the winds kind of bashing together, the air forced to rise, making these big showers that were heavy and slow—moving in nature. the rain coming down so heavily in warwickshire during sunday afternoon that it was bouncing off the roads and the pavements. why am i telling you about this? we will see similar things setting up later on today, i will explain more in the moment. but over the next few hours, a lot of cloud around, fog patches, lincolnshire, north—east england, and eastern areas of scotland. still a few showers leftover in the

north—west but it's not going to be a cold start to the day. temperatures 8—12. as we go through monday morning, most of us will start off on a cloudy note, the weather again and will slowly brighten up with some sunny intervals breaking out, probably the best of these across wales and south—west england. but it's another day where we'll see these winds bashing together to make convergence zones, one of them affecting east scotland, another one in eastern parts of england. this is where you are most likely to catch a shower, slow—moving, heavy, thundery as well. there could be a few showers for northern ireland and wales. aside from the showers, where the sunshine does come through, it should feel reasonably pleasant. now, looking at the weather picture into tuesday, pressure does start to build across western parts of the country and at the same time, a weak weather front across the far north of scotland, bringing thicker cloud and threatening a little bit of rain mainly into the northern isles. it's another day where we could see few showers popping up, particularly across eastern areas of england.

more of us should enjoy more in a way of dry weather, particularly across western parts of the uk. on into wednesday, pressure builds further so for most of us, it's a dry day with sunshine. the obvious exception is across northern scotland. we've got cloudy weather, outbreaks of rain setting and the rain accompanied by northerly winds so quite a cool day in lerwick, temperatures coming down in aberdeen and the best of the sunshine further south, still feeling pleasant with temperatures into the low 20s. now, as we get towards the end of the week, it looks likely that low pressure will begin to move in in one guise or another so a greater chance of seeing some rain by friday. that's your weather.
