now it's time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world. we begin with the daily express, in common with many of the uk press lead with boris johnson‘s quote that he'd rather be "dead in a ditch" than delay brexit as the arguments continue about how britain leaves the european union. germany's frankfurter allgemeine zeitung is leading with threats from turkish president erdogan that he will open up the route for migrants in to europe if he does not get support for his plans to resettle refugees in northern syria. le figaro is focusing on tension between iran and the us. they say that despite president macron's attempts to ease the escalation — tehran is pushing ahead with downgrading its nuclear

accord commitments. the irish times looks back to the start of the peace process in northern ireland and phone conversations between the then prime ministerjohn major and us president bill clinton. britain's daily mail is leading with a strike by pilots for british airways — they've accused them of being greedy and "wrecking holidays". the two day strike, set for next week, follows failed negotiations between the pilots union balpa and the airline. it's big on. let's start with the express. with me is lawrence gosling, editor—in—chief what investment. what editor—in—chief what investment. you make of alll comments, what you make of all this? these comments, i'd rather be dead in a ditch. who could forget the backdrop yesterday? the whole of west yorkshire police out in force. as a backdrop to those comments. where do we go from here? it feels like a lion that with all become too familiar with the boris johnson.

it's a sale —— study flippant line about a serious issue for the peace critics of his own, you are already ina bit critics of his own, you are already in a bit of critics of his own, you are already ina bit ofa critics of his own, you are already in a bit of a ditch because his... the way you have this we could play out, we think it hasn't played out, i was to become back on monday for the next round. it's almost, it's become a personality issue for the electorate here in the uk, you either love mrjohnson or boris as many people call him or you loathe him and you'd happily see him in a ditch. but his personal reputation, his personal identity in this whole issue. personality politics. this talk about something that was inside the paper, an editorialfrom ross clark. he was saying that those in the know deal will be, have got the tails up at the moment. they looked to be controlling the agenda. the problem of course is a lack of consensus around what those in this

lobby actually want. is it a deal? is it no brexit at all? to remain? it somewhere in between? can they form some sort of idea, central idea that everyone can follow? to put some up against borisjohnson in a meaningful way? is some up against borisjohnson in a meaningfulway? is ross some up against borisjohnson in a meaningful way? is ross clark says in his column, they can't. the irony is this week, there has been a level of agreement which is to agree to go against the prime minister ‘s wishes but that's the only thing they can agree on. he talks about the indicative boats that mps had earlier in the year that didn't take us earlier in the year that didn't take us anywhere in terms of getting a resolution on brexit. looks now in the general election it will get us out of this mess but the irony is that whenever we have a general election it won't get us out of the mess, it will get us into another mess. this is a bit further on the line. weary stop. let's move on dog about what is going on in the german

press. interesting comments from the turkish resident saying that he had his country may reopen the route for refugees and migrants into europe if they don't receive adequate international support to cope with of refugees in turkey. this is because of a deal between the eu and turkey back in march 2016. there is around three .5 million syrian refugees that turkey is looking after. they are in the northern part of syria or on its own borders. the president has said, give us the money you promised, or we will allow all of these refugees to come in to continental europe. we have seen a number going to greece in the last of the work. essentially he is trying to hold some kind of a threat over the european union. his suggestion is that with the right financial support they can house

adequately all of these refugees in northern syria. which is completely controlled —— controlled by turkey and the kurdish forces as well. this is an interesting stand—off, again look at politics, germany is under a lot of pressure on this particular issue as well is economy, there is incentive to see to some of that financial support. again this is one of those political issues that we are getting used to that is going to trip on and on until there is something that gives the president recently happy. ratcheting up the pressure a cross recently happy. ratcheting up the pressure across europe. as if we needed anymore. this is interesting. iis in needed anymore. this is interesting. i is in terms of the political crossfire between the us and iran. the sanctions that within imposed was a pregnant france both barred —— parties and is packed that we've had, have called on iran to refrain from any concrete action that does

not comply with the agreement. and yet be under stand that everyone is actually reducing its commitments to this. what is going on? it's another one of these threats that's been going on in the fridge for another suggestion that we should give a huge line of credit to erode to help its comely economy, america said, no we would support this. france has been trying to position itself as the peacemaker in this kind of issue. irani said it's committed to the agreement does everyone has said. it's given 60 days before it expects to see some kind of support. it has got the threat of essentially seen it has got the threat of essentially seen to carry out more nuclear experiment. yes, they are saying there are beginning to develop

things to speed up your rhenium processing, for power plants are atomic bombs. us would say it is nuclear weapons, iran would say it is to create energy. this one is going to ramble on a bit further. interesting for france and britain position within that. what you make of this in the irish times? this comments from a private telephone conversation in may back in 1995, recorded in the oval office. john major who was the british feminist at the time told mr clinton, the us president, that the ceasefire that was the nine months old made it look like the paramilitary group may be serious about peace. it's quite interesting, some of the shock and despair in this phone call by mr clinton. in these telephone calls, this clinton asked the prime minister, what the uk electorate

thought about ireland and the common smoker sounds like major was quite dismissive about what the average person thinks about the irish situation. that is not quite outcomes across but it sounds either. equally, mr clinton says the average american doesn't really care about us foreign policy, what happens outside. 0n the rounds, it sounds little bit shocking but in reality most ordinary people in countries are not interested in the domestic situation was not most people here, ireland isjust another island, they don't have —— that are killed happens in the world was a mr clinton echoing those thoughts.“ anything change the centre 95? do people go but what is going on outside the country?” people go but what is going on outside the country? i don't think they do. a country as close as ireland, most people don't visit. most people are naturally interested in their own lives, so not so

interested in foreign policy. i'll tell you what they are interested in. when the flats get delayed or cancelled as a result of strikes. we are going to have strikes on monday and tuesday from ba, this is because ofan and tuesday from ba, this is because of an impasse between pilots and the allied. do you think that sentiment is moving away from the pilots of this? i suspect it is. we've seen a number of airlines talking about how extravaga ntly number of airlines talking about how extravagantly played the pilots —— paid the pilots are. buying a dog by pilots ben work hundred and 60,000. i suspect we are but it's the end of the summer holiday so we'll have to worry about it until next summer. good luck with your flight next week. do stay with us on bbc news. so much more to come. hello there.

this week has been very changeable, up—and—down temperatures, one day sunny, the next day windy and wet. it looks like we're ending the week, in fact, on friday with wetter and windier weather for many. but as a band of rain slips southwards, we will see return to sunshine with blustery showers as well. all courtesy of this next area of low pressure moving in. just to the north of scotland, you can see the isobars closer together, so windy conditions through friday and this band of rain first thing friday morning will be across more central areas, spreading slowly southwards and eastwards as the day wears on. eventually becomes confined to southern counties of england, the odd heavier burst on it, but behind it, skies brighten up. plenty of sunshine around, but also blustery showers. some of these will be heavy in the north—west, and it will feel cool once again, with temperatures generally the mid to high teens celsius. it stays breezy as we head on into friday evening. that weather front clears away from the south. skies clear, in fact, for many. one or two showers around, mainly across coastal areas. 0therwise sunny spells, and with the cool air in places it

will be a fairly chilly start to saturday. and temperatures in single figures for many, particularly out of town in the north. but high pressure builds in for the weekend. for both saturday and sunday, it looks like it should be mainly dry, thanks to this big ridge of high pressure. lighter winds, too, but the air will be on the cool side. so we start saturday off on a chilly note, plenty of sunshine around. still breezy and windy down the eastern coastal areas with feeding in a couple of showers. otherwise, for most, apart from an isolated shower, it should be dry through the afternoon. sunny spells, temperatures the low to mid teens in the north, maybe 18—20 across the south. high pressure still with us, then, on into sunday. the weather front may bring a bit more cloud to the north—west corner of scotland. most places will be under the influence of this ridge of high. but it really will be a chilly start on sunday up and down the country. but bright, plenty of sunshine around. like i mention, that front could bring thicker cloud and more of a breeze to the far north—west, most places shall see sunny spells. a bit of fairweather cloud

bubbling up during the day. again, those temperatures after a chilly start reaching the mid to high teens celsius. as we head on into monday, it looks like we've got another weather system pushing in from the north—west. that'll bring a band of rain, the winds will pick up once again. so quite a messy picture for monday. outbreaks of rain, some of it quite heavy, moving across scotland and then into england and wales. it brightens up behind the rain band again, blustery showers following on. slightly cooler air, too, 14—16 degrees.

good morning. welcome to breakfast, withjon kay and sally nugent. 0ur headlines today: you should be in brussels, negotiating! yes, we have been negotiating. you are not. you are in morley, in leeds! a prime minister under pressure after his brother quits borisjohnson's hopes of a snap election hang in the balance. aid starts arriving in the bahamas, amid warnings that the death toll from hurricane dorian could be staggering. as one roof blowed off, we ran to another house, that blowed off. there were vehicles blowing in the background. it was just horrific. failing to stop fake reviews.
