now it's time to look at the stories that are making the headlines in the media across the world. "it all ends injeers" — that's what the metro's leading with. uk prime minister borisjohnson cancelled a press appearance to avoid pro—eu protesters. luxembourg's prime minister went ahead with the news conference, marking mrjohnson‘s absence with an empty podium. the financial times leads on the spike in oil prices after attacks in saudi arabia knocked out more than half of its production. could we finally be edging closer to a cure for the common cold? the news medical website reports that scientists at stanford university may have made a breakthrough.

it's been 100 days since protesters took to the streets of hong kong over a controversial extradition bill. the south china morning post looks at the fallout from a summer of violence. and finally, bbc online reports on an app that's just launched in the uk, which automatically cancels subscriptions at the end of the free trial period. so you do not spend months and months paying for something you did not intend to subscribe for. with me is alpesh patel, chief executive of praefinium partners. many front pages in the uk have this very photograph of the prime minister of luxembourg indicating to the place where berwick —— boris johnson should have been. there are is an array of porting —— reporting on what could have and should have happened to downing street said they

wa nted happened to downing street said they wanted to move it indoors but it did not happen. your take? this sums up the whole brexit scenario for me. i must say there must be many people in britain thinking what i was thinking, which is if i can be an political for a thinking, which is if i can be an politicalfor a moment thinking, which is if i can be an political for a moment and undiplomatic for a moment, that is hang on, what is this tiny little jumped up nation telling britain where they should be standing on what they should be doing? we do not wa nt to what they should be doing? we do not want to be a part of this and that is why the british prime minister was not standing there, to be embarrassed. some people might say that. i wouldn't. embarrassed. some people might say that. iwouldn‘t. but embarrassed. some people might say that. i wouldn't. but 52% of the population might be feeling like that. but that picture, that picture to some extent sums up that view. and why people want to leave. and there are two views. of course. there is another view that is we must play friendly. not that we must play friendly but that brussels and the luxembourg prime minister are

saying, you know, he came to luxembourg yesterday to have a working lunch with the european chief commissioner and did not really co m e chief commissioner and did not really come with much detail, did not come with a new plan to negotiate and, therefore, it was a difficult meeting. we did not have the outcome we wanted. difficult meeting. we did not have the outcome we wantedlj difficult meeting. we did not have the outcome we wanted. i am sure he was upset. i heard it live on air that he was upset. i almost turned off the channel and fought over, shut up, for goodness sake. i don't think the luxembourg prime minister came off very well and i don't think the eu came off very well, as well as they wanted. there will be people saying that borisjohnson and the brexit people don't come off very well. i'm sure they don't to remain as. but this did not look good, like we are about to come close. so you think the uk prime minister made the right choice to not be a part of that press conference? yes. you do not want to be embarrassed or

humiliated. but do you think he been able to stand there and do a press conference like theresa may? some people say she bent over backwards too much. and speaking as a member of the public, but i have said before i think it does not look good for a british prime minister, running around like a headless chicken, pleading... not him i'm talking about theresa may. of course, these meetings have to take place on the ghostly asians...” think there is dignity to an office. although boris johnson think there is dignity to an office. although borisjohnson has been clear that we are leaving on october 31, do or don't know matter what, he has, however, said that he would prefer has, however, said that he would p refer to has, however, said that he would prefer to negotiate a new deal and brussels are saying yes, we are willing to do that we want to do that as well but we need detail and we need to know what your proposals are. the luxembourg prime minister initial tone made that clear. was

not conducive to relations. there is dignity to an office and having a bunch of people who are is as far as we are to the wall shouting and screaming is intended to humiliate the office of the prime minister of the office of the prime minister of the united kingdom. papers on social media and everywhere else is quite vocal on this and get in touch and tell us your view. on this matter. whether boris johnson tell us your view. on this matter. whether borisjohnson should have been standing next to the luxembourg prime minister there are not. moving on now to the financial times. of course they are looking at the spike in the price of oil with fears mounting over supply disruption. how long will this take to fix, those oil refineries? i have absolutely no sympathy with saudi arabia or aramco. saudi arabia is leading the

war in yemen and there is an undoubted humanitarian crisis out there. un have said it, world agencies have said it and it is saudi—led to they are blockading the uk and us ‘s major ally in the region, qatar, on the war on terror. they want to shut down alger zero which is based out of qatar and they have killed a journalist, let's not forget, one year ago. have killed a journalist, let's not forget, one yearago. so have killed a journalist, let's not forget, one year ago. so if they have a bit of damage to their property, not that i condone violence, i am property, not that i condone violence, iam not property, not that i condone violence, i am not that sympathetic to them. and that was not really where i was going with the question but my thoughts are what do you think the fallout might be? with the price of oil and the impact? going back to my trading had, what will happen is that this danger of risk to oil assets means that i do not see oil dropping below $60. this risk needs to be permanently priced in our. why they did not have anti—

during technology, which, incidentally, what has happened their worries me for what could happen in the hands of terrorists in the west. i mean, this is presumably coming here, i am afraid. we have had drones differ disrupt airports. but not loss of life yet, thankfully. and that is what worries me. this problem should be resolved by military and anti— drone technology. america has ample amounts of it and i am sure they are willing to sell. i think the russians have stepped up and said please, come into our loving arms and we can sell you things. talk about the queue for a common cold. news from this medicaljournal talks about this fact that scientists think they may have found a way to stop it. at last! at last. of all the things that medical science should focus on, the common cold. but wait, let me get a word in. i was criticised by a friend of mine

saying i need to lead let you get a word in. gene editing, that is the technology before that and the uk is a world leader in this, beyond just common cold which is important because it does impact productivity and general quality of life, i looked up some of the other things you can do with gene editing, the basis of this technology. hiv, it could be a solution for hiv. cancer. we could have so many killers or prevention to cancer. notjust super mice, which is what the cold has been. removal of pests, mosquitoes, green fuel, algae, betterfood. this could be... little on climate change. all from the same... it is not just change. all from the same... it is notjust gene editing for humans, it is for crops. this is probably the most exciting happy story we will cover. what about the app the cancel subscriptions? isn't it annoying

that when you sign up for something for free and you want to trial something and the intention is to say i will not pay you but you end up say i will not pay you but you end up paying. the only concern i have is that you have a fake name on a virtual credit card, presumably the legal obligation goes to this chap ‘s company, the guy who invented this. job is to make sure they counsel it. i'm not so sure i want to encourage people to have fake names when they sign up to legal contracts. i agree he is a clever person and i am sure that sooner or later he will have a billion—dollar tech company. and i would back him. but i don't know about doing it this way. thank you. it is always a pleasure to have you on the programme and it is never dull, that is for sure. we are thinking of sarah thomas trying to complete her track across the english channel 4 times non—stop, see you soon.

hello once again. autumn is presenting its quiet face towards us just at the moment. sometimes it can be stormy. well, we're seeing that quiet spell of weather certainly dominating for the next few days. dry by day and cool, as befits the season, overnight. that's the way the pressure chart is shaping up for tuesday — high pressure very much the dominant feature. quite a number of isobars you'll notice as we get on into tuesday. thejetstream is coming up and around the atlantic high and sweeping down into the heart of continental europe, offering some more unsettled fare there and certainly colder conditions as well than we're enjoying here in the british isles. a coolish sort of start to the day, but come the afternoon, plenty of sunshine around. the temperatures again, the midteens or so up to about 20 degrees. just tempering the sunshine late on in the day as we bring a warm front in from the atlantic. it'll still be there as we move from tuesday on into wednesday. enough cloud associated with that for there to be the odd bit and piece of rain, primarily across the northern half of scotland. elsewhere, it's going to be a really decent sort of day. by the stage, the high pressure

will have moved just sufficiently far towards the east to pushed those chill north—westerly winds out into the north sea, so it may well feel a tad warmer across the north—east of scotland simply because you've lost the strength of the wind. come thursday, that high pressure is going to be very much the dominant feature, keeping it fine and settled in all parts. you'll notice as we move towards the latter part of the week, so the high centre moves over to continental europe, and that allows the chance for us to pick up air of continental origin. there's still some warmth across the continent at the mediterranean at this time of year, and we're going to start tapping into that. it brings drier conditions across us, so any chance of mist or fog that may well have been there the first part of thursday won't be an issue on the first part of friday. those temperatures just ticking up by a degree or two quite widely across the british isles, 20 as far north as aberdeen. not a great deal changes from friday into saturday. notice the run of isobars is there from south to north, keeping the atlantic fronts

at bay at this stage. so saturday's another glorious day for many parts of the british isles. there's just the chance of one or two showers, quite heavy showers at that, getting into the far south—west to finish off the day. a high on the day of 25, that's really not bad for the time of year. and then come sunday, we start importing some moisture. a frontal system trying to come in from the atlantic, but ahead of it we'll have some thundery showers gradually working their way up and across many parts of the british isles on what is going to be quite a sultry day.
