teenager, kyle giersdorf, took home the $3 million singles prize. the duchess of sussex is guest editing the september issue of british vogue. the front cover consists of 15 trailblazing women of her choosing. it has to be said used to work in city hall with the current prime minister, borisjohnson. he was mayor of london, yes. the days were challenging, long, but rarely... actually, it was a time where we face a lot of challenges in the city. we had to prepare the city for the olympics, there was an issue about crime. big issues that actually, boris as now, had to learn and tackle and deal with the city of

8.5 million, 9 million people on the global stage. it was quite a good training ground for someone who has now become prime minister.” training ground for someone who has now become prime minister. i don't know what the population of the uk is, 65 million, but the front pages of the national —— the times, the french carmaker has said it is ready to quit the uk if there is a no deal brexit. i think this is a constant theme that has been said all the way through the brexit conversation, especially from the motor vehicle industry, because they have a very complex supply chain. the amounts of parts that move across between different markets, europe, uk, construction, putting them together, a complex interweaving connectivity of different things that need to be spread around. any impact on that, especially the just—in—time supply chain, could have a fundamental effect on the viability of this. they have been raising this point for quite a while and it appears psa

are now looking at one of their pla nts are now looking at one of their plants in ellesmere and saying depending on how the customs union pans out post the end of october, when the current prime minister is saying we will leave no matter what happens, they will then take a view. and this is difficult because 80% of the cars in the uk built here are exported and two—thirds of that are exported and two—thirds of that are exported to countries where we already have a trade deal through the eu. this leaves a massive dilemma because the current car industry is so exposed to the no deal brexit, more than other industries. and also the car industry has faced the most broad disruption, electric vehicles, the market shifting, not as many people are buying cars and the more mature markets as they used to. there are other macro forces at play in this other macro forces at play in this other industry. yes, the supply chain is critical, it is integral to the viability, the commercial

viability of the business. anything that disrupts that causes and impact. that is part of the conversation because it is notjust a one—sided thing, as we heard the cbi saying, is the eu ready, what is the other support side of the supply chain going to look like? i think this will come sharply into focus because this prime minister is saying at the end of october something has to happen. let's move on and talk about the moscow times. this is the russian opposition leader. he was imprisoned for 30 days for violating protest laws and it looks like he has been taken ill, and conflicting reports between what the government is saying and what his own doctor is saying. his doctor took a sneak peak. yes, suspicion over what is going on here. unsurprisingly. given the russian state actions. he has been a co nsta nt state actions. he has been a constant critic of mr putin, and he

had organised this rally, he was arrested. suddenly he becomes ill. also then, there were 1000 people who were also arrested because the rally did go ahead and there is concern about their human rights and how they have been detained. and then the following day, at the hospital, a further ten people including some journalists who had come to see him, were also arrested. ordetained. i come to see him, were also arrested. or detained. i won't say arrested. there is a number of issues here and it seems a spokesperson from the us embassy has tweeted about their concern of the use of disproportionate force by the police around this crackdown and basically challenging the democratic process. what i am looking for is what will president from say about this? what do you think he will say?” president from say about this? what do you think he will say? i will be watching his twitter timeline with keen interest to see how he responds. let's talk about diamines. a girl's best friend? and are

forever, unless they are fake —— diamonds. i am confused because these are fundamentally fake diamonds, but what is the term it uses? it is they are basically synthetic diamonds but gem quality. they are fantastic quality diamonds. it is the same thing but not quite the same thing. these are replicas, they are grown in a lab, synthetic, so they are grown in a lab, synthetic, so you they are grown in a lab, synthetic, so you are they are grown in a lab, synthetic, so you are getting something that looks like a diamond, feels like a diamond, it could be clearer, of a higher quality but it is not a diamond. even if it was clear or high quality, would you still want to buy it knowing it is not a natural diamond? when the price was 10% cheaper than a normal diamond, it is now 50% cheaper and they say it is now 50% cheaper and they say it will be up to 90% cheaper. that tells you something about what people are valuing in the market, the real diamond against a replica diamond. they are making the case

for sustainability, although that also needs to be examined with a bit more scrutiny because the amounts of energy, co2 production in producing these replica diamonds... they say synthetic diamonds obviously in terms of the big millennial market, is attractive because it is more sustainable. it is more woke, i believe, to have a sustainable diamond. there will obviously be a market for it. the question is, it this a real threat to actual diamonds? i think they seem to still be holding a premium in the marketplace because the price is what decides it, and until the changes, the real diamonds will be forever. i will not expect any diamonds from you. let's talk about fortnite. i am not a game. maybe when i was 11 years old. do not play nintendo later on, ds? i played all

those consoles when i was in my 20s. no, i played records and did other things. you are too cool. the cool things. you are too cool. the cool thing now seems to be esports. they had great coverage over the weekend and the focus has been on the prize pot here with millions of dollars at sta ke for very pot here with millions of dollars at stake for very young people, 1a, 15, 16 years old, some spending six hours a day in training for this sport. next time, a poor mum goes into the bedroom of a spotty teenager and says, look, son, into the bedroom of a spotty teenagerand says, look, son, get off that. he can turn around and say, i can win $3 million! absolutely, and the equivalent of what you could win for women wimbledon role—playing. .. what you could win for women wimbledon role-playing. .. but what you could win for women wimbledon role-playing... but where is the spot question i've explained to me. because it is a sport replicated in the game that people are playing. sport is a loose term.

it isa are playing. sport is a loose term. it is a game where people kill each other. isn't fortnite about the last one to survive? from what i have read, that is right. you are on an island and fight to the death. sounds like the uk! why is this rising to the top question what you have a huge population of people engaged, eyeballs on the screen, advertising and that is what is happening. this is a huge commercial opportunity. by the way, this event, fortnite, is not the biggest gaming event that will happen. no? there is something happening in august called the international. the game is called dota2. this is the future for oui’ called dota2. this is the future for our young people. the question we have is, it is going to be balanced out with playing outside in the street and in the park? that is the concern for parents. but it seems it

isa concern for parents. but it seems it is a trend and phenomenon and it will only grow. let's talk about meghan markle. she has been guest editing the september issue of vogue. it is a huge honour because she is extremely busy and a lot of people want her time and she has given it to vogue. 15 trailblazing women on the cover. interestingly, not herself. why did she not put herself on the cover? she said it wasn't the done thing to put herself on there. i am not sure about this. it appears her royal highness the duchess of sussex is a woman in a hurry. i think the british people like to see their royalty but not here too much from their royalty. i think she wants to take her time as she engages with the british public. no, you have changed that story. i thought it was a very positive one. but thank you very much indeed. stay with us here. plenty more to come.

good morning. some of us had some sunshine this weekend, but others, a weekend of relentless rain. in fact, it brought some localised flooding. in greater manchester, rochdale, we had over 90mm throughout the weekend. the rain was fairly relentless. a conveyor belt of wet weather that moved its way up through the south—east. you can see that quite clearly. there were some heavier bursts as well at times, although it is starting to weaken as we speak. so, the story remains the same. this front is going to be with us throughout the day today. there it is on the satellite picture. we see some shower cloud up into the far north and east of scotland, that could bring some heavy, thundery downpours as well over the next few hours. so, plenty to talk about with monday's weather starting off pretty murky across scotland. low cloud, mist, still some showers lingering, and our weather front sitting there through northern ireland through southern scotland. a weak affair and moving its way steadily north to a band of showers. behind it, where we had the heavy rain through the day, a better day through north—west england

and parts of the midlands, highest values of 26 degrees. but down on the south—west, an area of low pressure, which will bring through the isles of scilly and cornwall some rain by the end of monday. this low pressure is going to continue to bring some wet and windy weather across the country through tuesday. heavy, sharp, thundery downpours not out of the question and gusts of winds, particularly down into the south—west on exposed coasts, of a5, possibly 50mph. sheltered eastern areas will see the best of any drier, brighter weather, so parts of aberdeenshire, running down across that east coast. that's where we will see the highest values of around 21 to 2a degrees. as we move out of tuesday, we're still going to see that low pressure, a significant player in the weather story, it continues to drift its way steadily east, it will take its showers with it as well. so, on wednesday, it looks likely that the emphasis of the showers will be across southern scotland, through the north of england and eastern england as well. so, it's a drier story further south and west, not too bad a day

into northern ireland and maybe the far north—east of scotland again, escaping with some decent weather. highest values of 18 to 22 degrees, that's just below where we should be, really, for the time of year. but as we move out of wednesday, high pressure will start to build, so thursday and friday quietens down and just warms up a little. so by the end of the working week, a drier theme, but we certainly have changed the feel to our weather. fresher with some sunshine and showers and, at times, some gusty winds.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: the prime minister heads to scotland to sell his commitment to a united kingdom, despite strong opposition to a no—deal brexit. the uk's biggest business group, the cbi, is warning that we're not ready to leave the eu with no deal. i'll be explaining why. a man who became trapped in rocks while saving a toddler from the sea has been rescued on the norfolk coast. max verstappen storms to victory in hockenheim while lewis hamilton was left in a spin. the world champion struggled in the wet in an extraordinary
