first time donald trump has been roundly criticised by the world's leaders and various other people. and of course, again, this is another example of the president saying whatever he wants say whenever he says it and of course he doesn't care who he insults, who he u psets doesn't care who he insults, who he upsets and there will be outcry about this and of course, quite rightly there will be outcry about this because the tweets that he sent are unacceptable. but i think what's real interesting about this is will there be any material effect on donald trump and his presidency whatsoever and i think the answer is thatis whatsoever and i think the answer is that is pretty much know. i think we know the guys made of teflon. it doesn't matter what he does, what he says, he will continue to be the same, not change anyway, continue with his policies, and as we have seen already, no real damage is ever done to him. it is interesting you should say that because in this article, the person they mentioned to start with, the house speaker nancy palu see, she says the remarks are xenophobic commencement to divide the nation. —— nancy pelosi.
5:47 am
she is a democrat and has been extremely vocal of her criticism. as have the four congresswoman we mentioned earlier. the four women are calling for the process of impeachment to get under way as a consequence. this is another example ofa consequence. this is another example of a reason why this president shouldn't be in the white house. but actually, maybe he will be re—elected next year. actually, maybe he will be re-elected next year. as we look at the kind of odds at the moment, he is odds on to be re—elected and that comes is odds on to be re—elected and that co m es after is odds on to be re—elected and that comes after this situation. rightly oi’ comes after this situation. rightly or wrongly, of course, these tweets are or wrongly, of course, these tweets a re utterly or wrongly, of course, these tweets are utterly wrong. but of course, from donald trump is my point of view, and from what he can push out to his supporters, he will say, well, this is just to his supporters, he will say, well, this isjust another attempt to have me impeached, to say i'm doing wrong but he will tell you, look at the stock markets, look at jobs, look at all of these things. he will list off the record of things. of course, a record of things. of course, a record of things that are all in positive
5:48 am
territory for him. there are things that aren't necessarily as polity of —— positive. he will reinvest things off as another reason people want to knock him off his perch but look at how well they are doing. when you look at this article, it is literally coming from all over the world. you have got the german news outlet echoing comments from others, that this is just covert, blunt racism. khan has had quite a few. not his number one fan, i don't think. -- not his number one fan, i don't think. —— siddique calm. —— sadiq khan. he says he has never heard this before. especially from the president of the united states. nothing will really happen. bbc online are looking at this story. we
5:49 am
we re online are looking at this story. we were talking about this earlier in the programme. it will be really interesting to see how this progresses. david marcus will be grilled for a couple of days. he will be asked some pretty difficult questions that facebook right from the outset has said, "we won't go ahead with this until its properly properly managed" et cetera, et cetera. this is different to any other crypto currency four. what facebook want to do is target those people, as you said earlier, that don't have a bank account. —— crypto currency. facebook will say this is for good, to help people have access to world markets and be able to pay with ings away modern technology and the financial world are moving. the biggest problem within this and what david marcus will have today and what mark zuckerberg had when he testified previously, there will be a lot of people asking the questions about this that don't necessarily
5:50 am
understand what the technology does. that is not a slur on them because they were still a lot of us who don't really understand the technology and what goes into crypto and why are there. that is the biggest stumbling point. its education and making people understand why this is here. and also the real concern from the banking industry and central banks is the fact it takes power away from them in many ways because of this digital currency were to be launched and were be used by almost 2 billion people around the world, is kind of ta kes people around the world, is kind of takes away that ability of central banks to make changes within an economy because if you are using a digital currency that is not running the same way that traditional bank is run on the high street, central banks don't have the same power. absolutely and if you look at the way the world is run, ever since the financial crisis, the financial world has been dominated by central banks. central banks have dominated how markets have moved. how the
5:51 am
general public have been able to access money for centuries. added what interest rate stop and of course it is the key thing. our economy is used to be dominated by banks. they were the biggest companies that dominated the country. that isn't necessarily the case anymore because its countries --it is case anymore because its countries ——it is companies like facebook. looking at the use of we chat. jaguar land rover getting this loan guarantee to build electric cars. ever since the referendum on the uk's membership of the european union, there has been a concern for the future of the car industry. big companies like nissan and a japanese car makers saying hang on a second, if you are not a part of the european union, we may have to think about where we build our cars. this isa about where we build our cars. this is a real boost in the arm. yes, this is massive jaguar land rover and of course forjobs in the uk. this is almost one of theresa may's
5:52 am
signing off. she has only days left as prime minister and she has announced this 500 million deal. it is for electric cars. there is this guarantee in the uk to move to fully electric cars by 2040 which a lot of people are seeing as a pretty optimistic date but with moves like this and this is of course all to guarantee the production of these electric cars here in the uk. it boosts jobs and it is this key boost for the environment. with two reasonably or both a parting gift from theresa may is to do this and helping jobs and it is a massively positive story, this one for top especially forjaguar land rover, of course. but the plant in the west midlands, it is good news where they will make the cars. toxic threat to babies in the womb. this is a tale of fumes babies in the womb. this is a tale offumes in babies in the womb. this is a tale of fumes in furniture. i read this andi
5:53 am
of fumes in furniture. i read this and i thought this is awful. this will take a lot of people by surprise this morning because of this is the front page of the daily mail here in the uk. very sensationalist headline, of course, but this is an unbelievable story that says that basically within our household and we are talking about, it focuses on flame retardant chemicals was of the thing is put into sofas, beds, everything, to stop it being flammable, it could contain these really, really toxic chemicals. the studies on babies could have an effect on breast milk and even within the womb. the worry here is that after all of this research and there is a whole lot of research and there is a whole lot of research over a number of years, so this is not something that has come quickly off the bat. a long time coming. it says that this has a long—term effect on babies in the womb and before you even born, being polluted in this way. it is really shocking. really quickly because of your embarrassing online purchase? shocking. really quickly because of your embarrassing online purchase ?|j am your embarrassing online purchase?” ama your embarrassing online purchase?” am a slave to some terrible fashions. i think i bought,
5:54 am
am a slave to some terrible fashions. ithink i bought, i may have even bought a bandanna online before. not to be worn on television. in a panic, i bought a disco ball for my son's party. i thought it would be this big and when i got it, it was this small and it worked on one double a battery which was an absolute disaster. then working our autocue today, he bought a ford capri online after a big night out. he says i can't even drive. it was white, they called it the duchess. his wife drove it for a bit and was very embarrassed. she got all sorts of interesting looks at the petrol station. james, thank you for being on the show. thank you, too, for your comments as well. keep him coming and i will see you soon. goodbye. that may keep them
5:55 am
coming. —— keep them coming. hello again. we'll take a look at the weather picture through tuesday, and i think there's going to be quite a bit of cloud in the sky first thing in the morning, because this is what's going on at the moment. we've got a stripe of cloud in the west. this is a weather front that's going to be pushing eastwards. as it does so, it is all the time pushing into an area of high pressure, so the front itself is going to be a weak affair, but it will provide the focus for some showers. now, for northern ireland and also for scotland, expect some showers running in here over the next few hours, so it might be worth taking a waterproof jacket with you or an umbrella if you're heading outside over the next few hours. there is also the chance of some shower developments in north wales and north—west england, but otherwise, across eastern england, eastern scotland, it's going to be a dry morning. now, through the rest of the day, those showers in northern ireland and scotland will continue on and off through the morning. as the heat of the day builds further southwards, we'll see further shower development across wales, northern england, and perhaps the midlands as well. some of the heavier showers could be across more eastern portions of england, perhaps
5:56 am
across the pennines, somewhere like that. but towards the south—east, it's going to be a fine, sunny afternoon, feeling warm and humid, temperatures up to 27. but more typically, temperatures for most areas low to mid 20s. now, looking at the low pressure into the middle part of the week, an area of low pressure is going to be moving off the atlantic, ultimately pushing a band of rain in, with strengthening north—westerlies as well. so turning wet for northern ireland and western scotland through the morning. a dry start for eastern scotland and for england and wales on wednesday, with some morning sunshine. things will tend to cloud over as the day goes by, with the rain getting into western fringes of england and wales, and across into eastern scotland as well. now, to the east of our weather front, that's where the highest temperatures are going to be. we'll still be reaching temperatures of around 25 for norwich and london, still feeling rather humid, but ultimately that weather front will push through. it's a cold front, and it will be
5:57 am
bringing that fresher air right the way across the country by the time we get to thursday. so thursday's a day of rain clearing, followed by some drier weather and sunshine for england and wales. showers moving into northern ireland and scotland and perhaps northern england as well. the showers quite widespread, heavy, and likely to be thundery at times too. temperatures high teens across northern areas, 23, 24 degrees in the warmest spots further south. what about the end of the week? well, another area of low pressure looks set to move in, but there's a lot of uncertainty how far north or south this one's going. some models take it north, some move it right the way across southern parts of england and wales. either way, it looks like it's going to be unsettled for some of us, at least, through friday and on into the weekend, with rain at times. that's your latest weather.
