of parliament are plotting to rewrite the house of commons rulebook in order to prevent prime minister boris johnson from forcing through a no—deal brexit. meanwhile, in the guardian, leader of the green party caroline lucas has asked ten female politicians from all parties tojoin her in forming an emergency cabinet in another bid to stop a no—deal brexit. the ft reports global investment banks are shedding tens of thousands of jobs. falling interest rates, weak trading volumes and the growth of automation are being blamed for creating an increasingly difficult climate within the financial sector. germany's deutsche welle says russia's media oversight agency has demanded google take action to stop the spread of information about illegal mass protests. thousands of its youtube channels livestreamed one of russia's biggest demos last weekend. and finally, the telegraph website repeats claims made byjamie oliver in an interview to you magazine where he said one of the reasons

for the collapse of his culinary empire was the fact his restaurants weren't posh enough. the celebrity chef, who paid £4 million from his own pocket to prop up his chain, but was unable to save around 1,000 jobs, said his business would have remained intact if he avoided mid—market dining. with me is david buik, who is a market commentator at core spreads. lets get stuck in. the independent talks about the fact it has heard about secret talks from cross—party mps ona about secret talks from cross—party mps on a plan to rip apart parties‘ standing orders to stop an ideal breakfrom standing orders to stop an ideal break from the european standing orders to stop an ideal breakfrom the european union. your thoughts? first and foremost, to have a situation where brexit will

be delivered on 31 october, no excuses, that's it, is a very, very dangerous ploy. i don't think it matters whether you are a brexiteer 01’ matters whether you are a brexiteer ora matters whether you are a brexiteer or a remainer. to have that as absolutely categorical, to appoint dominic cummings, who i suspect doesn't have a view, to say that he will find a way to deliver that for borisjohnson, is always going to meet with objection. we have seen the remain mps and luminaries, lord heseltine and a writer for the sunday times writing a strong article saying how undemocratic the process was. the house of commons is not ina process was. the house of commons is not in a mood to deliver no deal, and there is going to be some level of confrontation. you can think of lots of people who might be involved in it, whether it is yvette cooper,

david gauk, philip hammond, and this is not going to go away. it is a serious issue and it has got to be addressed. but this is a sort of in the headlines, since borisjohnson became prime minister and said we leave on 31 october, became prime minister and said we leave on 310ctober, do or die —— david gauke. when the independent says we have learnt this, we have secret talks going on, these talks have been happening, as you say, four weeks and weeks. the other thing, of course, is that it is not helpful is the impasse with the folding of the arms from the european union saying no change, we have nothing to discuss. boris johnson's government, and michael gove, who is either an extremely clever operator saying i am focusing on no deal, that is the way it looks like it is going, they don't want to talk to us, isn't it a pity? someone has actually got to say we need to talk. because the european union will say, well, the uk economy will be trashed out of existence, which

is their view. i don't adhere to that. if the european thinks it is not going to be damaged it is in dreamland. as we discussed half—an—hour ago, growth in the european union is pretty brittle and it looks like it could get worse worldwide. so forthis... i it looks like it could get worse worldwide. so for this... i am it looks like it could get worse worldwide. so for this... iam not talking to you, it is just nonsense. those organisations that we talk to regularly in brussels are saying they are well aware that the eurozone and the european union will be impacted. they are aware they will be impacted by no deal. not as much as the uk, but they will be, for sure. they are braced for that, as well. what about this idea on the pa rt as well. what about this idea on the part of caroline lucas in the guardian that there could be an emergency female cabinet to block no deal brexit. you are chuckling. emergency female cabinet to block no deal brexit. you are chucklinglj emergency female cabinet to block no deal brexit. you are chuckling. i am chuckling because she is a media diamond. she is very good on television and comes across

extremely well on radio, and she has an increasing following, there is no question of any doubt about it. but we have a process, and until she or her party have more elected members of parliament apart from her down in brighton, i am afraid she can whistle, in the nicest possible way. but where i think remain have been brilliant is their co—ordinated programme of blocking everything to stop brexit at all costs. she, i should say mrs lucas, is at the middle of it and she has done an incredibly effective job. middle of it and she has done an incredibly effectivejob. but middle of it and she has done an incredibly effective job. but will she achieve her goal? in the best possible way, no. the guardian says she has thrown down the gauntlet to ten high—profile female politicians, all of whom are remainers, i understand, to come together, because the feeling is actually that maybe they can deliver a unity that we are not seeing within the toxic environment within parliament. an

all—female cast may deliver. environment within parliament. an all-female cast may deliver. there are very good politicians, some of these ladies in the house of commons are more effective than blokes, there is no question. and extremely brave and courageous in the environment they are in. but the other side of the coin is there is no key to the kingdom on this. the house of commons voted by a two—thirds margin to deliver brexit, and whether they like it or not, they didn't say they would do it at all they didn't say they would do it at a ll costs, they didn't say they would do it at all costs, i accept that, but there isa all costs, i accept that, but there is a very strong mood and has been for the last three years. theresa may has produced what she thought was a reasonable deal, three times rejected out of hand by everybody. this is not the time to say i am not talking to you, go to hell. it is time to sit down, grown—up, and if you can't find the keys to the kingdom, that's fine, but saying thatis kingdom, that's fine, but saying that is what you called for, we have a new prime minister and a new cabinet. change. let's hope so,

let's see what happens. we will watch this space and report on it. the financial times is looking at the impact, and this is by no means just brexit. 30,000 jobs cut as the investment climate darkens. thousands of jobs lost investment climate darkens. thousands ofjobs lost since april. give us your take on what is happening in the city. it is a bit more than that. the situation is that our recovery since 2009 has been pitiful. in the beginning it was extremely strong. we were outshining europe. i am talking about generalising. the fact remains that the need for regulation for banks now is strong. a bank in the uk needs ten times the amount of capital to do the same business it did ten years ago. so what is the attractiveness of doing investment banking in many areas? does your banking in many areas? does your

bank has never recovered —— deutsche bank has never recovered from its huge participation in the world of derivatives. they are cutting right back on stocks, shares, broking, and that kind of thing. hsbc has i think something like 30,000 jobs in the last five years. we have seen credit suisse and ubs change their business, with an enormous number of redundancies. the only thing we have got in the uk left in the world of investment banking is barclays, and thatis investment banking is barclays, and that is in the united states of america. so these figures the financial times raises are com pletely financial times raises are completely accurate, and more importantly, the emphasis they put on the banking climate darkening is spot on. what does that mean for the uk economy? that was always seen as

the engine of growth but of the money we are making in the uk.” think the one thing about the united kingdom, forget brexit, is that it is like new york and tokyo, a major centre where you have the best accountants, the best lawyers, you have the centre of business activity, infrastructure that has been there for 70 years. it is the peripheral areas, in my humble opinion, which will be more damage than everywhere else. will london be affected ? than everywhere else. will london be affected? 0f than everywhere else. will london be affected? of course it will. but i am not negative on london as a centre for doing business. thank you for your time. we talked at length about the stories where david has real expertise. the other stories i will tweet, including jamie 0liver‘s views on why his restaurant chain did not survive in the current environment. i will see you soon. hello. it's been a weekend of wild weather.

we've had heavy rain that's caused some flooding, thunderstorms and strong winds, too. the week ahead looks a little bit quieter, but still an unsettled theme. there's further rain at times, particularly on wednesday. and things are feeling rather cool and breezy, too. now, the low pressure that brought us the weekend's wet and windy weather is now pushing off towards the north—east, but we've still got a few weather fronts draped across the country during monday morning. so, some heavy showers, particularly in the south. some thunderstorms possible too anywhere from the channel isles up toward sussex and kent as well. to the north of that, a little bit drier. so some sunshine for norfolk, through the midlands towards wales and the north—west of england. a little bit of light, drizzly rain still lingering for north—east england through monday morning. and some showers packing into parts of northern ireland and the west of scotland. but for the bulk of scotland, a much improved day after the heavy rain and flooding we've had recently. much drier weather for scotland. a few showers towards the north and the west. some showers too for northern ireland. further south in england we're also going to see a few heavy showers through the day.

but, some sunshine and it is generally a drier day than we've seen recently. 0nly16—19 degrees to the north—westerly breeze, so things are feeling quite a bit cooler than they have done. showers will continue to monday night to tuesday but they'll slowly ease away towards the east through into the early hours and quite widely, particularly in the countryside, down into single figures. so quite a cold, fresh start for tuesday for many of us. some misty patches should clear a pretty quickly. through the day on tuesday, one or two showers still, but they'll be much fewer and further between then we have seen recently and the winds will be much lighter, too. so actually in sunshine tuesday, one of the best days this week. 16—21 degrees or so. later in the day, it'll cloud over from the south—west with the arrival of some more rain overnight. all down to this area of low pressure during wednesday, that brings us a very unsettled story, especially across england and wales. that's where we see the bulk of the rain on wednesday. the winds also strengthening, particularly strong and gusty along the south coast of england. also, some heavy showers likely across parts of scotland once again through the day on wednesday but i think a drier slot for southern scotland, northern england and for northern ireland.

but it will feel pretty cool, particularly where you've got the showery rain. by the time we get to thursday, again, most of the showers will ease away. so a slightly drier window in the weather on thursday. some sunny spells, a few showers moving in from the north—west but many of us will avoid them. temperatures about 15—21 degrees on thursday but then things turn more unsettled as we look towards the end of the week. down to another area of low pressure moving in — that brings us some strong winds and some heavy rain by saturday. bye— bye.
