the independent reports that uk gambling firms have paid a record £19.6 million in penalties last year for failing to protect problem gamblers and stop money laundering. but asks is it enough? and finally the back page of the metro has the headline ‘great scott‘ — in reference tojill scott's goal that helped propel the lionesses through to the semi—finals of the women's world cup! with me is cornelia meyer, ceo of mrl corporation, a business consultancy. lets start, will return to the sport but let's start with the tory leadership contest. the times, different paper is quite revealing, saying that borisjohnson is planning an emergency budget after claiming a day ago that the chances ofa no claiming a day ago that the chances of a no deal brexit, written leaving

the eu at the end of october without a deal, to be 1,000,000— one. ruth davidson here says that plans such as those can break up the european sorry, the uk. and therein lies the problem when you look at the small electorate of the tory membership. that select group who will select the next tory leader to become prime minister. they did a poll a few weeks back and over two—thirds said that brexit was more important to then than keeping the union together. that was scary. and then you see it is irresponsible because, you see it is irresponsible because, you know, both contestants say we will return and try to renegotiate with the eu but the eu has been clear that there is no negotiation.

we are fed up with brexit and at the end of october, the commission leaves, there will be a new management and they will not wish to be bogged down with brexit. we may still see a no deal exit. i wonder if philip hammond created this war chest to have it created on tax brea ks chest to have it created on tax breaks that boris is promising. the iis breaks that boris is promising. the i is mentioning that voxel will not be making new cars in the uk if no deal is supported. and make astra is pledging to make the cars if there isa pledging to make the cars if there is a favourable deal. this goes to show the nature of the news and how it always depends on the prism in which you look at the story. that it is not necessarily the same thing.

astra and the other owner of vauxhall said they will make it here but there needs to be a deal. they are staying —— saying the same thing. and this is very important because if you look at it, nissan stopped producing its suv in sunderland and honda is closing the swindon plant. these are not easy times for carmakers. they need to reorganise themselves away from combustion engines to electric vehicles and so want. not only are theyin vehicles and so want. not only are they in the crosshairs they are also suffering wider structural issues. bmw, for example, will have more than 50% of its cars by 2023 will be electric. this story and the

financial times by the editor with the russian president. the russian president saying that liberalism is effectively dead, long live what according to vladimir putin. he said liberalism is dead and he criticises western democracies for their mild —— mindless multiculturalism. so he is an autocrat and he said, look, brexit and all of these things, donald trump, the they show us that liberalism is dead. is a bleedingheart liberal, i liberalism is dead. is a bleedinghea rt liberal, i personally hope he is not right. he laments the lack of rules for the new world order. for example, where does the uk and russia stand at the moment? there are fractured relationships and he says they are getting closer together again. but the fractured

relationship is based on the poisoning of a former russian spy and russia says they did not poison him. but he says disconcerting things such as russia gained invaluable fighting experience in syria. at what human cost? but russia played its cards very well in syria because they now have a naval base and they have an airbase so have access again to the mediterranean that they temporarily lost. he has played his cards well but ina lost. he has played his cards well but in a more autocratic way. this is an autocrat speaking. don't expect him to be liberal. a fascinating interview and we don't have more time. it is refreshing that he is so honest. he is certainly that. zero tolerance he

says for spies but he has no problem with lgbt says for spies but he has no problem with lg bt people. says for spies but he has no problem with lgbt people. he may not but within his population there is. eastern europeans are a bit more conservative. let's talk about sir j°ny conservative. let's talk about sir jony ive. conservative. let's talk about sir jony ive. i quit was the headline this morning. arguably this man here, and many people may not be familiar with him, he was more important to make apple than steve jobs. he created a new product class. tim cook said he was invaluable and one of the most important people and sojony ive says steve jobs was his best friend so says steve jobs was his best friend so they had a great creative, commercial and creative relationship. he had his own company and worked for apple and then apple hired him and he started to lead a

design team and he was behind the ipod, the iphone and the imax series. —— imac. he created those looks. and subsequently imitated by many other brands. some people might say that perhaps now a fresh pair of eyesis say that perhaps now a fresh pair of eyes is needed because comic you know, sales are falling. —— because, you know sales are falling. in the last year this article says that a0 $.6 billion was spent globally on purchasing apple products. not bad, considering the company he joined was almost bussed when he joined. the independent is looking at gambling firms. saying that gambling firms paid a record almost £20 million in penalties last yearfor failing to protect problem gamblers and to prevent money laundering. i

looked at this and thought, you know what, that is the cost of doing business for them. and it is so little. they are highly profitable, they are raining so much. the total amount levied is just 0.13% of the industry profit. i think they should have been fined more because gambling is an addiction and a societal problem and, especially, with online gambling now it is just so with online gambling now it is just so easy. more and more children who have problems with gambling, this is a real... this is like alcoholism. it is an addiction, like a drug. it is an addiction and it is a problem. this one is sad to the nhs here in the uk announced children as young as 13 had a gambling programme. the uk announced children as young as 13 had a gambling programmem is very bad because it is under regulated with the internet, you know, everybody at home... it is easy, you don't even need to go to the pet shop. 14 nhs treatment

centres a re the pet shop. 14 nhs treatment centres are due to open the children. and, finally, great scott! have you been following the world cup? of course i want england to win but the other thing is i think it is great how women's sport, women's by great how women's sport, women's rugby as well, women's sport has more prominent. that is very important because we need to move more and these people are role models. they get the kids out, they get the kids away from the computer and gambling and make the move to this is great and i hope they are doing well. even if they don't win, it is good. a role model in and of your own right. thank you, cornelia.

hello there. thursday was a lovely day across the country, a summer day with lots of strong temperatures. but for scotland, wales, northern ireland, you saw your warmest day of the year so far. and today's looking pretty similar — another dry and sunny one with the highest temperatures across the west. that's because we've got high pressure across the country drawing up this hot air from france across western areas. but for the east, you'll notice the yellow colours there, that's because we've still got more of an onshore breeze, but not as windy as it was on thursday either. we've got a bit of a grey start across the east of the country, that cloud will burn back to the coast and most places will be dry and sunny. and the sun will have strength to it. very high uv levels across most of the country, but especially across england and wales. and temperatures — east—west divide. it's going to be hot across western scotland. we could see one or two places reaching 30 degrees across the west, but 15 degrees or so across north sea coasts. the same too for wales, western england, a little bit fresher, though, further east with a bit more of an onshore breeze there. not as windy as it was across the south—west.

also worth noting, pollen levels will be high across the country, especially for england and wales. now, as we head through friday night into saturday morning, it stays largely dry and i think the low cloud across the east will be kept at bay because we all start to pick up more of a southerly wind so that temperatures will rise further, and what will be noticeable is the humidity will rise. so that sets the scene for saturday. it's going to be a hot and a humid one for many, but in particular across england, and eastern england as well. now, if we look at the european heat wave, its expected to reach its peak this weekend across parts of spain, france and again into germany. we'll be tapping into that heat, with temperatures perhaps reaching highs around 33 or 3a celsius across the south—east, mainly for the london area. so southerly winds drawing this heat up. plenty of sunshine across the eastern half of england. a weather front moving into scotland, northern ireland and around irish sea coasts will bring a drop in temperature and also the chance of a a few showers or thunderstorms. so a bit cooler here but very hot for england and wales.

highs of 32 degrees in london, but we could see 33 or 3a celsius, like i mentioned. during saturday night, this cold front spreads across the country. we lose those red hues and see something a little bit cooler and fresher pushing in off the atlantic. so temperatures could be 10 degrees down across south—eastern areas compared to what we see on saturday, and there'll be plenty of showers across the north—west corner of the country. some of these will be quite heavy, but plenty of sunshine too, with temperatures around the seasonal average — that's the high teens in the north, and closer to mid—20s further south.
