details about its new aircraft service which is due to begin operating this summer. would you climb on board? and finally to the independent, an extraordinary result in the women's football world cup, as reigning champions, the united states, hammered thailand 13—0, the biggest—ever win in world cup history. 13 goals, not bad. impressive. i feel bad for the thai goalie. with me is james hughes, chief market analyst at brokerage firm axitrader. we have to talk about brexit, i'm sorry, james, i know it isn't your favourite subject. it's not anybody‘s. favourite subject. it's not anybody's. some. some. so we see this push to stop the uk from

crashing out of the eu. that is really impacting the value of the sterling, isn't it. it has a picture of irisjohnson, sterling, isn't it. it has a picture of iris johnson, one sterling, isn't it. it has a picture of irisjohnson, one of the leaders in the race to become the new prime minister, he is saying we will leave no matter what on october 31, this isa no matter what on october 31, this is a worry for some. this is the battleground for this, the tory party election and of course the election to be the new prime minister is going to be what the candidates do if there is a no deal, do they look for an extension to article 50, another extension to article 50, another extension to article 50, another extension to article 50, or do they look to leave the eu with no deal. that is the big thing. but this cross—party group, including jeremy corbyn and senior tory figures looking to make it a law before we get to any of this voting around the new prime minister to say if there is no deal, then the uk can't leave the eu without that.

so basically taking off the table a no deal. so parliament taking control of the process as it were to try and pre—empt that thing on the pa rt try and pre—empt that thing on the part of a new payment is that you may want that to happen? absolutely. they've tried this before. mps have tried to take control of this before. they have succeeded. in some cases, but not to this extent, from ajeremy corbyn cases, but not to this extent, from a jeremy corbyn and labour point of view, it could potentially be someone view, it could potentially be someone like boris johnson view, it could potentially be someone like borisjohnson who is leading a campaign to say if there is no deal, we will leave at this time. now, you could get to a situation where this comes into law and a new prime minister on the back of that promise is already dead in the water because he can't push what his main promise is through parliament. so, it just his main promise is through parliament. so, itjust makes brexit and the whole parliamentary process the absolute mess that we've seen it

in the last two years. and it underlies the fact does get the job of being the new leader of the conservative party and by default the prime minister is taking onboard as what many would describe as a poisoned chalice, something impossible to deal with. it shows the new leader of the tory party in the new leader of the tory party in the prime minister has the same problems as the old one. indeed. let's move on to what the impact this is all having on the uk economy. this is one person's view, it's the uk and ireland head of google's operations, saying that rand uk has lost its lustre, —— rand, saying if they had sold —— brand. he is saying that because of the uncertainty of exit. we know thatis the uncertainty of exit. we know that is the case. you say that, why do we know that is the case? because it- do we know that is the case? because it — mainly because of the headlines we get from different companies, not

necessarily moving operations away from the uk but discussing the fact that there is operations moving away from the uk. there is a situation where markets are under pressure, sterling is under pressure, the uncertainty causes volatility in these areas. it just uncertainty causes volatility in these areas. itjust doesn't show that there is any real tangible downside within the uk, we know that, we know that economically, the country is in a downturn at the moment and is quite resilient. but we know that uncertainty causes issues. the housing market is struggling, areas of the economy are stalling. within here, this is kind of what's been said, look, britain is almost pausing in the moment to wait for this mess to be finished before we can move forward. and yet are some big players like facebook are some big players like facebook are continuing to invest in london than looking to have london or uk as a does make the uk as a place to various headquarters, what's up and

what have you —— whatsapp, then you have other statistics to show that london is the place to be or even the uk, many cities, notjust london. so there are many messages coming through. there is a big push in terms of london in terms of finances as it's always been a big push to make sure there isn't so much in terms of disruption, but this is an inevitable byproduct of the situation that we have. let's change tack now completely and see what the guardian is talking about. "extreme weather triggers fastest carbon emissions rise in a decade." this is where, for example, many people have their radiators on in the uk in the middle ofjune because of the cold snap we are experiencing. these extreme weather conditions are changing our use of energy. absolutely. we are seeing

such high fluctuations in terms of these temperatures at the moment, and it was only this time last year that we were having a pure month of 30 degrees heat. what this article saysis 30 degrees heat. what this article says is there has been a jump in carbon emissions because basically, if it's too, too cold and he does go on, —— heaters and air—conditioners, we are using energy. there is a startling fact in here that carbon emissions rose by 2%, the most it had done in 30 years, in 2018, that is the equivalent of having 400 million more combustion engine cars on the road. which is an absolutely staggering figure, so you can see that this is a growing problem in a growing climate change problem. this is in bp's report which is actually an influential review of what is happening in the energy market at the moment and it would seem a bit

depressing, it is a depressing read, isn't it? everybody‘s trying to take measures and do things to try and slow down global warming and climate change but it seems we have to do a lot more. yeah. what it is saying is basically what we're doing is causing more of a problem. air—conditioners, of. causing more of a problem. air-conditioners, of. if you are hot, be hot, if you are cold, be cold. right. so the uber helicopter conference, this isn't something we cover on a regular basis but it was fascinating reading. would you get in and uber copter? i probably would, to be honest. it's gone under the radar a little bit. flying taxis. it's a futuristic film sort of thing, but, the situation is that uberare of thing, but, the situation is that uber are launching a helicopter taxi service in the summer. so this is happening. it's going to be stuck in

— within manhattan and go tojfk airport. the interesting thing about this is whenever you hear about where taxis or private jets or whatever it may be, you always think ofan whatever it may be, you always think of an astronomical cost, but the cost of flying from manhattan to jfk is $225, completely affordable. and if you are in a big hurry, stuck in traffic. well, if you've been in new york before, you know the traffic is bad to jfk. uber york before, you know the traffic is bad tojfk. uber is an absolutely enormous company and the statistics here show that uber carries 93 million writers a month in 700 cities in 63 countries. they are a disruptor. they are going to be disrupting the skies very soon. watch this space. and very quickly, the us, reigning cup champions,

there last game scoring 13 goals against thailand, which you just never hear about in football. no. never have that many in one match. the women's world cup has onlyjust started, it's been a massive success already, 13—0 is an astronomical score, you don't see that, alex morgan scoring five goals. what she looks happy. very happy. it morgan scoring five goals. what she looks happy. very happy. it shows that the us are a force to be reckoned with as the tournament goes on. will they defend their title? we will have to wait and see. thank you james for being with us on the programme. thank you to for your company on the programme. i hope you enjoy your day. stay with us on the bbc as we keep you right up—to—date on all the latest news. some really miserable weather out

there at the moment, pouring with rain across the north, but it's notjust here in the uk where we're getting the really unsettled weather. in fact, much of western europe, all the way down to spain and portugal are experiencing below average temperatures and quite changeable weather. now there's a big low pressure which is stuck across northern france, just around the channel here, and for as long as this low pressure is here, things aren't going to change. it will remain very, very unsettled. the winds are coming in from the north across western parts of europe but the winds will also have to swing back around again. and they're blowing out of the south across central and eastern parts of the continent where there's a relentless heatwave. temperatures in the mid—30s. so it's this sort of the yin and the yang of weather. one side of europe is hot and sunny, the other side of europe is paying for it and it's cool and very, very wet. so here's the rain, early hours of wednesday morning across northern parts of england, wales as well. the low pressure, we've already established that, it's parked itself across

this part of europe. so you can see spells of unsettled weather there also across parts of germany as well. and also we'll see some thunderstorms drifting out of the south and they will affect southern portions of the uk. now notice a bit of a lull in the intensity of the rain across the north, but that will get heavier later on wednesday. now these blobs here, these are showers. we'll see thunderstorms developing almost anywhere across the southern portion of the uk. there could be some really nasty downpours. now notice how this rain gets heavier as we go into the afternoon, quite menacing, threatening rain clouds there out in the north sea. and all of that's just going to come in and bring a real deluge to some parts of northern england, and the rain will be reaching eastern scotland and parts of north—eastern england as well. so a wet wednesday on the way. here's a look at thursday. the weather front‘s still with us. and you can see the winds blowing around like so, that low pressure's parked itself across the uk. to the south, a few sunny spells, yes, but also some thunderstorms. the temperatures 14, 15, 16 degrees, it's closer to end of april, may temperatures, really.

so the low will wobble around the uk, bringing us again spells of rain and showers as we head towards the end of the week. improving a little bit across europe. but on balance, i think we'll just call it unsettled, really, as we head into the weekend. maybe later next week there's a sign that things will be warming up, but not just yet.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: a bold plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the uk to almost zero by 2050 — it could mean we all have to eat less meat and take fewer flights. borisjohnson pledges to deliver brexit without delay as he makes his pitch to become the next conservative party leader, but labour seeks to block any no—deal outcome in parliament. whirlpool is forced to recall thousands of tumble dryers over concerns about their safety. it's feared the appliances pose a fire risk. trouble at the topshop —
