with me is lawrence gosling, editor—in—chief of what investment. the times. every single paper on my desk has got donald trump on the front page and no surprise. you would expect that. the times is looking to theresa may to take a tough line with trump over china but also climate change and other issues. it is a fascinating one, this. you could almost have a slight bit of sympathy for mr trump because he will have a meeting with an outgoing prime minister and he has no idea who the new prime minister is. theresa may has actually been quite neutral on the huawei incident. about security, trump has been anti— qua way and anti— china, and it is an interesting meeting. ——

huawei. also need to set up trade deal meetings whatever the outcome. it says theresa may is said with a confident —— set for a confrontation with president trump over huawei in particular. it seems huawei is in the eye of the storm and the us is being very vocal about the fact that if we continue to work with huawei in the uk, that could mean they are not going to share intelligence with us not going to share intelligence with us which is a big issue. and it is interesting because some of the uk security services have sided with mr trump on the security issue whereas theresa may seems to have taken a different scenario. again, she is possibly looking to the post—brexit period where everybody in the world needs to do business with china and thatis needs to do business with china and that is the most fundamental thing, the most populous economy, it will probably be the second economy, overtaking the us. there is a long—term political backdrop that
5:48 am
all the major countries in the world are confused and befuddled over what line to take. as you say, theresa may on june seven line to take. as you say, theresa may onjune seven is resigning as leader of the 70 party. it will be a tense final meeting. —— conservative party. the guardian and the other papers are taking the view on the protests. it will be logistically ha rd to protests. it will be logistically hard to get around, for those of us who are here. there will be massive protests on lots of issues including climate change. british newspapers are firmly down the line on where there politics are. the daily mirror, the left—leaning paper, a quarter of a million people will come out and protest, jeremy corbyn, et cetera. he will be in amongst the protesters. he was not at the
5:49 am
banquet last night, he refused to go. and of course is thinking the next elections though go. and of course is thinking the next elections thoutheremy corbyn is playing to who the people are he hopes will vote for him and they are often seen to be —— said to be anti— trump often seen to be —— said to be anti— tru m p protesters. often seen to be —— said to be anti— trump protesters. the things they are protesting about. again, it feels like we are the backdrop to the uk pol —— politics at the moment and who will be forming the next government. we shall watch this space. let looking at the front page of the japan times and it says they are keeping the memory alive stop tiananmen, simple as that. 30 years since the crackdown in china. my colleague and others, john sudworth, based in china, and others, they are looking at in china everything is being done to stop this from being remembered. absolutely and we have seen the large us tech giants going
5:50 am
to add bank —— make it policy against chinese stands. the japan times is fascinating, japan and china had just signed a peace agreement, a trade agreement, that put aside the problems they had during the second world war and a decade after that, this major issue which is a real challenge for western governments as to how to respond, a huge crack down, the japan times talks about, suggesting up japan times talks about, suggesting up to 10,000 people might be murdered. we will never know what that number was. they describe it as it crackdown that is a reminder of the political realities of china's 1—party system and yet, since them, 30 years on, there has been huge change in china and there has been economic reform. people are much better off now in china than they
5:51 am
we re better off now in china than they were back then. and it talks about millions of muslims in china being effectively interned. the persecution against minority groups is still very much going on in china. that's right so although there has been canonic change and many would argue reform, from the point of view, the politics and the 1—party state, there is a lot that hasn't changed. 0nto the times. trying to wean shoppers of plastic. what is your view on this idea?” what is your view on this idea?|j think what is your view on this idea?” think its a fabulous idea. we have been talking about it for the last couple of years, the issue or challenge of plastic and there being too much of it. it is impossible to know whether the plastic we all use can be recycled. put it in your wash it up old, clean it, take it back and if you are filling up your
5:52 am
serial bag that had something else, it makes sense. it is something we can all do as individuals. waitrose is perhaps at the higher end of the value chain and it will be interesting to see some of the discount. interesting idea, will we change our behaviour? the comments rule over eu rules. i looked at this story today — make e—commerce wands over eu rules. the customer authentication comes in in september whereas essentially online purchases over £30, you need another level of id. a thumbprint or a code from your bank. what these e—commerce security companies are warning is not many people know about it and it could just knock back a number of online
5:53 am
purchases. part of me says they would say that, wouldn't they? they are technology businesses who often like to sell benefit from these regulatory changes but it is a classic thing, people are not aware of it, viewers may remember gdp which is to do with data regulation from last year. make —— gdpr.m which is to do with data regulation from last year. make -- gdpr. if it makes it easier to buy things online, is not a bad thing. you just swipe and it is on its way. one of the main stories injapan‘s national daily. this campaign led by yumi ishikawa who said she was forced to wear high heels all day in a funeral parlour. i wear high heels on air, asi parlour. i wear high heels on air, as i already mentioned, but it is a choice i make and ijust wear them for one hour or so. allan you are not on your feet for hours on end.
5:54 am
it isa not on your feet for hours on end. it is a kind of an interesting thing. — make you are not on your feet. this slow thing in japan of women. . . feet. this slow thing in japan of women... a woman feet. this slow thing in japan of women. . . a woman was feet. this slow thing in japan of women... a woman was forced to wear high heels in the uk, a story was out about it recently. there are lots of dress codes. you mentioned earlier about men and shirts and ties. the situation of a man is clearly a lot easier. i don't wear a tie most of the day if i don't need to. but again, it seems absurd in the 21st century that women should be forced to wear ridiculously uncomfortable shoes just to do their job. it is not a dress code, it does feel discredited tree. argued lawrence for being with us this morning. and thank you for your comments on that story as well. i will see you very soon, bye—bye. hello. if you want yourjune weather
5:55 am
to come with sunshine and warmth, this isn't the forecast for you. but if you want some rain on the garden, well, we're in business, because during tuesday, most of us will see some rain at some stage of the day as a weather system coming in from the south—west extends that rain further north and east as the day goes on. already, as tuesday starts, some of that rain into parts of wales and south—west england. ahead of that, maybe a bit of sunshine in some spots to start the day. fairly chilly for some of us where you've been clear overnight. as low as mid single figures in places. so let's look at the story of tuesday's weather, with the rain coming in. so here it is to start the day. some heavier bursts are possible as it slowly extends its way north and east. there may be a few thundery bursts developing across parts of south—east england and east anglia. and that rumble of thunder possible in the showers in highland scotland, ahead of the arrival of the rain, though the far north of scotland will stay mainly dry. now, it's still breezy out there.
5:56 am
it's not as windy as it's been over the past couple of days. may see temperatures as high as 21 celsius in sunny spells developing again in south—east england. but look at that — belfast just 12 degrees, on a cool, wet day. so this area of rain extends further northwards as we go through tuesday night and into wednesday. just rotates around, though, scotland, northern ireland and parts of northern england, whereas the rest of england and wales are turning drier and clearer at this stage, and these are the starting temperatures on wednesday. so we still have a bit of rain out there on wednesday morning. now, as the day goes on, it will become confined mostly to northern scotland. elsewhere, there'll be some sunny spells to be had, but there'll be a few showers developing. and catch one, it could be heavy, possibly thundery, slow—moving too, in fairly light winds out there, and temperatures are just at if not a bit below average for the time of year. maybe a bit of rain reaching parts of eastern england to end the day, as a weather system in the north sea will then spill some rain northwards into thursday, more significantly into parts of northern england and scotland. some heavy showers again developing into parts of england and wales. there will be a bit of sunshine
5:57 am
here and there, not doing a huge amount for the temperature. then, as we take a look at the big picture at the end of the week, another area of low pressure late friday into saturday brings the potentialfor some more significant rain over a larger area, so we'll keep an eye on that. and, over the weekend, low pressure is still close by, so it is still unsettled. so this is the picture for the rest of the week, and into the weekend. yes, june warmth, there isn't a great deal of it. wet, there is — sometimes.
