based on status updates. and the times has another popular story of the day. we've all had our hearts melted by puppy dog eyes but research shows it's an evolutionary trick developed over thousands of years, just to manipulate our emotions. it works every time. he melts my heart, my dog. with me is jane foley who's senior foreign exchange strategist at rabobank. if we start with the new york times, it is unpacking in detail the tensions that are escalating it would seem by the day between the united states and iran. and threats and counter threats. now 1000 troops more being deployed to the area. it's a real concern, isn't it? it

is. 1000 new trips, in may there is 1500 new troops sent to the area as well, this follows the attacks on two tankers, one japanese and one norwegianjust a two tankers, one japanese and one norwegian just a few days ago. but of course that was the second attack in the region. trump is saying his sending the troops to protect —— the us interest in the area, and the language used was quite firm, it was said that the us would take or consider all options about what to do with the iran threat,. temper markers being accused of attacking the oil tankers, it has happened before, there were four other oil tankers that were damaged by them in previous weeks and months. iran is denying all involvement, they talk about conspiracy theories, of the

people behind it to escalate tensions between iran and the united states was not all the issues are being impact. for financial states was not all the issues are being impact. forfinancial markets, for oil markets, they keeping a close eye on this. the oil markets as well but in terms of geopolitical risk, this is something that is quite considerable. for instance, you could say that in economic terms, iran is at the end of its tab, that is of the sessions were meant to do. as a consequence we have had news that the atomic energy organisation is within ten days of the country having produced the low enriched uranium, the sort that is used to fuel power plants. the concern is that getting closer to what would be necessary to build a nuclear weapon. press asset. now some critics say of the trump faction have said, you put this amount of stress on a country and you get these results. this was predictable so set resident trumps

critic. there are concerns that the us is stumbling towards war with iran, europe has taken a different view. they had wanted to carry on with the nuclear deal but the us put asher on many european countries so it's a very difficult situation. 0ne which not just investors it's a very difficult situation. 0ne which notjust investors but eve ryo ne which notjust investors but everyone has become more concerned about. we need to keep a close eye on that. the new york times a lot of detail. that's take a look at the front page of the i. the number of candidates that will be heading for ten downing st will get smaller because there will be another vote today. we will learn who is left of the six current candidates. but the front page of ship two is looking at one of those candidates, mr stuart he was saying that there are hundred

-- 100 he was saying that there are hundred —— 100 people within the conservative party would lock boris johnson if you were to become leader, if you were to become prime minister and he retreat —— and he would try to push the uk out of a deal. to get 100 mps voting against the red government and their leader, parliament has had boats before and the majority of parliament does not wa nt the majority of parliament does not want a no deal. irisjohnson, of course, he was the favourite anti—is not the only hardline brexit supporter within those contenders, he has said he would use the option ofa no he has said he would use the option of a no deal as a negotiating tool with europe hoping to make europe change the deal that is on the table but of course, europe s0 they are not going to change deal and this is potentially significant. does that mean that a prime ministerjohnson 01’ mean that a prime ministerjohnson or others would say ok, europe isn't going to change the deal, we want brexit by the end of october, therefore we have to go for no deal.

many are wondering, whoever gets into number ten, at the end ofjuly, whoever becomes the next conservative party leader, how will he be able to broker a better deal when theresa may has failed, given the fact that this hardline approach on the part of borisjohnson that he feels will bring him more success, will be stymied by parliament? exactly. we saw sterling we can quite considerably. this is the investor getting quite concerned thatjohnson will walk into a no deal because there's very few other options. there was a question over the weekend to suggest that, would a prime minister try and dilute parliament by may be calling it into the parliamentary session to try and push through and no deal brexit? which is something that was shown on the vision debate earlier this week. that is very worrying, it's very worrying to the whole democratic

procedure. let's move onto facebook. it is expected to lodge a digital currency, crypto currency, something that most of you are pretty sceptical about. one of the reasons people are so sceptical is the issue of trust. newsweek is looking at how scientists together with others have looked outside —— facebook post that people have given. they looked at 999 people who agreed to participate in this project. to find out whether you can diagnose someone with diabetes or obesity some of these other issues from the post. and it looks like you can. this data be given consciously, perhaps our age, where we live. demographic data. and from that they can make certain assumptions already. but that's making assumptions from words we use ina making assumptions from words we use in a post. of the 999 participants

have agreed, that's very important, they agreed to be in the survey. in all of the post they made, there we re all of the post they made, there were 500 common words. what they discovered and some of these are perhaps obvious. what they discovered is that people who might have a —— and alcohol abuse issue are more likely to use words like abuse and bottle and drink, people who have depression might use words like hurt and stomachache, people who use words like god, family and prayer are more likely to have diabetes. that also made me giggle a bit. it talks about the 21 conditions that are featured, skin disorders, anxiety, pregnancy, how people post what they are saying on facebook indicate what is wrong with them. what could be wrong with them in the future. it's quite worrying, isn't it? how the social media platforms are being used to estimate the figure out who we are. this is

where it gets more worrying for instance, could insurance companies, could the government, could the police, could they have access to this? could they be making assumptions about who we are and what we do? there is the darker side to this as well. and many of you have been in touch with this. one of our viewers, richard, have been in touch with this. one of ourviewers, richard, said have been in touch with this. one of our viewers, richard, said this is a serious question about the use of facebook and how it is used, what is going on with our data. thank you for your comments, keep them coming and you can have a look at those online. beyond meat, that is the company that is listed on the financial markets not so long ago, it is at its highest price yet closing on wall street, really interesting. the shares rose 12% on monday alone. give us your take. they rest opposite on monday alone but since that initial offering, they have gone up by 600%. people

who shorted the stock saying it was going to have flat on its face, out of the money. this is interesting because they make alternatives to meat was of this comes at a time when were talking more about emissions, we know that cattle for instance, farming, it can be quite inefficient creating methane gas. half of all the grain wheat has gone to feed cattle or animals and that's a very inefficient way of getting energy into humans. and this comes ata time energy into humans. and this comes at a time interestingly, when the un population division report talked about huge searches of population in africa, we need to feed everyone. we do. so plant —based burgers come up in front of time to talk about the puppy in front of time to talk about the punpy dog in front of time to talk about the puppy dog eyes —— we run out of time to talk about puppy dog eyes. i will treat the story. thank you for your company. hello there.

south—eastern parts of the uk were warmest and sunniest on monday, but things look a little bit different over the next few days. we are looking down towards iberia, a lot of cloud around here, that is going to get drawn up towards the uk, together with some warm and humid air, and it brings the threat of some thundery downpours towards the south—east. at the moment though, things are fairly quiet. towards the end of the night, we are starting to see a bit of rain arriving across the channel, we've got some rain in towards the north—west of scotland, but otherwise a dry start. a little bit chilly for some eastern parts of england. for the cricket at old trafford, whilst there is a band of cloud around, it shouldn't really produce any rain. it should be a dry day, fairly cloudy with temperatures maybe 18 or 19 degrees. we do have some rain though, coming into scotland, showery rain, mainly for western scotland, coming into northern ireland, too, and then some sunshine. but increasing cloud for england and wales, and this rain, moving northwards through the channel into england and wales. the heaviest rain towards the south—east of england and east anglia. temperatures on tuesday, similar to those of monday. but it will feel quite muggy i think,

as that wetter weather pushes in towards the south—east, and it's going to be arriving at royal ascot as well, which starts on tuesday. we've got some rain here, and overnight, and into wednesday as well before things improve for ladies' day on thursday. but before then, this is the main area at risk of some rain, which could be quite heavy, as you can see there, and some thunderstorms. now, this could be a high impact event but there is an awful lot of uncertainty about the detail. hence, it is a yellow thunderstorm warning from the met office. now, we may well find the earlier rain moving away, out into the north sea, and things quietening down for a while. but we're looking at some storms to push in on tuesday night, up from the near continent, into the south—east of england, the midlands towards east anglia and lincolnshire, perhaps, for the rush hour on wednesday. that wetter weather then moves northwards, taking away most of the storms, but there's still some rain around across england and we could see some more storms in the south—east later. scotland and northern ireland, it's much more straightforward. there'll be some sunny spells, there'll be some showers around as well. and again, those

temperatures 16—20 degrees. but a humid feel for many central and eastern parts of england, together with those storms potentially, all on that weather front. as that moves away we've got slightly fresher air, slightly cooler air coming in from the north—west around that area of low pressure. so things get a little more straightforward everywhere, really, i think, on thursday. most of the showers in the north—west of the uk, close to that area of low pressure. there'll be a few showers coming into england and wales, but not many, probably the driest weather and the warmest weather back again towards the south—east of england. again, highs of around 20 celsius.
