the two will come onto that later. the two papers together. the times and that ——of the daily telegraph. the fallout from the eu elections, trying to make sense of what the uk voters are saying they want when it comes to the next attempt to make brexit happen. and this differing of views as to whether, you know, the governing conservative party should really look at no deal is a realistic option and put it back on the table or whether, asjeremy hunt says, that would be suicidal for the party. it is in the interpretation. it was obviously the worst performance for the conservative party in 200 years. they placed fifth in the european elections which is obviously, asjeremy hunter says, an existential problem for the party. there are two different ways to interpret it and we are saying that seeing most of the tory

candidates saying this. but as jeremy hunt says. leaving the eu no matter what and they are willing to risk no—deal brexit to make sure it happens and deliberate in order to satisfy those voters. on the other hand, jeremy hunt is saying, listen, we now have parliament passing laws which are forbidding us from willingly walking into a no deal so therefore, if you were to walk towards that end takes those steps towards that end takes those steps toa no towards that end takes those steps to a no deal, you are risking their wrap — the wrath of parliament calling a general election and that would be disastrous for the conservative party. he is saying, given what we have seen in the local elections and in the eu elections. you are seeing two different ways of interpreting these results. it is a strategic play and strategic question for the conservative party. with the results, as is always the case, it depends on how you cut the cake. the brexit party emerged as

the winner with the biggest number of votes and seats in the uk from the eu election. and yet, if you add together all the parties who stood on the idea of remaining or a second referendum, that outnumbers, it together outnumbers the brexit. in some announcements, it's just that actually what the election has done is underlined once again, how divided the uk public is. yes and thatis divided the uk public is. yes and that is a problem for all of the parties and that is why labour is floundering and saying it is a lot worse position because you have jeremy corbyn who hadn't been necessarily coming up very strongly saying he wanted his party to support remain. he is now saying he would vote for any that back any second public vote. people are jockeying for a position because everything is completely divided. it's almost very black and white, very binary. the parties have got to decide and they are going by what

has been in their manifestoes and try to be consistent with their original pressures. there will be much more chewing over it. let's turn our attention to the story in the business insider. this is a massive deal for the car industry. it would create the world's third biggest carmaker if fiat chrysler is going to partner with renault. absolutely and it seems very interesting. it "41 who doesn't have a significant market share outside north america, them extending a partnership because arthur moran that alvaro mayo and fiat haven't helped them. ———— alfa romeo. and renault has been in a big alliance with nissan and mitsubishi

that might give it leveraged in negotiating with those partners. it really could be a marriage, a merger of equals, it ——as they are saying. both have different things to gain from it but it would be so complicated. it makes the head hurt thinking about how they will piece it all together. the car industry has been overtaken by tech firms encroaching on their area. i mean, the driverless, self driving technology, what i really tech firms, have been making far greater headway and more quickly and it seems like this is an attempt by fiat chrysler, which was a bit on the back foot, to play catch up. this would also try to free up cash. it will try to improve both respective balance sheets, share the costs a nd respective balance sheets, share the costs and try and get a little bit more cash so both companies would then be able to invest more in

technology because right now they are having to rely on alliances and third—party partnerships in order to say they are in that race in terms of technology and delivering what the future of automation or transport and that transportation is going to be. the small subject of happiness. elusive for many people. always chasing it. the independent a lwa ys always chasing it. the independent always seems to have the answer, apparently. for women, it always seems to have the answer, apparently. forwomen, it says always seems to have the answer, apparently. for women, it says be unmarried and don't have kids and you will be happiest of all. this is all on a basis. it probably a depends on the day but you are right this particular study doesn't say that single women who have never been married and don't have children are the happiest of all. i would ta ke are the happiest of all. i would take away from that the point that those women are that group of people who are able to focus on themselves. that is much more so than the other groups which are either married so they have a spouse that apparently women seem to take the burden of looking after more so than the male cou nterpa rts looking after more so than the male counterparts of those situations or

if they have children. and that they are looking after these children. so they are not doing so much self—care. the other interesting tidbit from this is that actually, married couples when asked in front of their partners to self proclaimed themselves as quite happy but if they are outside of the room of their partners, they are pretty near miserable apparently, according to these researchers. fascinating. this was all, this talk — make this emerged from a talk at a book festival and some of the things they shared was fascinating. you can read more about that in the independent. city am and the wealthy game, the beautiful game, a victory that results in 170 million pound payday aston villa. yes they have been promoted. even if they don't stay in the premier league and they get relegated back again, after this season relegated back again, after this season they will get these parachute

good morning. our final bank holiday of may has been and gone now. it was a tale of two halves, really. the best of the weather was down into the south—east corner on monday in the london area where we saw 20 degrees, 68 fahrenheit. further north, a beautiful weather watcher picture was sent in. but it was a cold, grey, slightly disappointing story in parts of aberdeenshire with just a daytime maximum of 11 degrees. this is important because the cold air that has been sat across scotland throughout the weekend will push its way steadily southwards, taking the milder air back into the near continent as the northerly winds are set to win out for a couple of days at least. but hopefully only a short, sharp shock. more on that in a moment. the north—westerly direction will drive in some showers across the western isles and running down through the north sea we could see a rush of showers being driven in along the east coast during tuesday. sheltered western areas perhaps seeing the best of the drier, brighter weather but it will be a degree or so cooler than it has been, 10—19 as the daytime maximum. moving out of tuesday, the winds will start to fall light and skies will clear. so a chilly start to wednesday morning before another this series of weather fronts push in from the atlantic.

during the early hours of wednesday, we will start to see it clouding over from the west but with clearer skies further east, the temperatures are likely to fall away and it could be a chilly start for one or two of us with low single figures first thing on wednesday morning. but the cloud and the rain continues to gather and here it will sit across south—west england and wales. so eight degrees as a minimum. three or four along the east coast. we start off on a chilly note but with some sunshine around first thing on wednesday. the cloud and the rain gathers and continues to push its way steadily east as we go through the day. there is a level of uncertainty as to just where this rain is going to be sitting by the middle part of the week but it looks as though it will light and patchy as it continues to push in across the country. further north, a largely dry affair but not particularly warm, 11—18 degrees. as we move out of wednesday, we see that weather front and area of low pressure continuing to drift steadily north and high pressure

builds from the south. but more importantly, the winds change direction again and swing back to more of a south—westerly direction, driving milder air once again back across the country. so it's half term for many this week and it does look as though the silver lining is — as we head towards the weekend, for many of us, it will be sunnier and warmer again. the only exception again, the far north of scotland. that's it, whatever you're doing, enjoy if you can.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: a knife attack on a group of schoolchildren at a bus stop injapan leaves two dead and at least 15 injured. after their disastrous showing in the european elections, conservative leadership candidate jeremy hunt warns a no—deal brexit would be political suicide. hundreds more prisoners will be let out on licence every year to take part in work and training. good morning. while westminster gets itself in a spin over brexit, i am in blackpool looking at how family
