ba boss willie walsh features in the daily telegraph — he's hit out at so—called flight shamers, saying environmentalists are forgetting all the good things that come from flying. another story that has everybody talking this morning on twitter. it's the advice from the top doctor here saying there should be a ban on eating food on public transport to tackle obesity. and, finally, it's the footballer‘s wife turned detective — colleen rooney filling up the front pages and twitter feeds after fake stories she posted turned up in the sun newspaper. the twist? she says only one person could see the posts — fellow wag rebekah vardy. the plot thickens. with me is oliver cornock who's editor—in—chief

of oxford business group. this group. website is in turkey. terror organisations this website is in turkey. terror organisations are targeted. this is peace spring. interesting to see how the turkish media is interpreting this. absolutely, and as we heard earlierfrom your this. absolutely, and as we heard earlier from your correspondence, there is a lot more behind the scenes in in terms of the timing, president hearder one's position has been compromised significantly. —— erdogan. there is all sorts of stuff going on in turkey. step back further and we have to look at the kurdish angle here. they waged a terror campaign within turkey, they do not have a territorial area particularly in the wars in the middle east, both in iraq and subsequently in this area have led

to the kurds having some territorial area they have expanded. it is a lot more complicated than it is made out. but what it does do is give erdogan this ability to talk about peace spring, a safety corridor, all of this. if you look at this graphic on our main news story that is a top story today, it shows you where that peace corridor will be. it is in the top east, northeast element on the border of turkey, and they call it a safe zone. who will be safe there? it is very difficult to say, not least because of course the west‘s former allies, these fighters who fought against the regime in syria, are also, have also been holding former isis captives, very worrying that if they were to be released for example... , said to have escaped already from some of the camps. two

of the most dangerous ones, they have been taken by the americans. there is a lot developing here. as always, as we all know, there is a lot more to this than a simple statement. our concern about this are you? this is an area you know very well. your job are you? this is an area you know very well. yourjob before this was you are focused on the middle east. i lived in turkey. this is something that has been going on a very long time and all that we do know and time and all that we do know and time and all that we do know and time and again is that we underestimate these events because implications are so huge. we did that in syria, we did that in iraq and libya, we have done it in yemen and libya, we have done it in yemen andi and libya, we have done it in yemen and i feel we and libya, we have done it in yemen and ifeel we might and libya, we have done it in yemen and i feel we might be and libya, we have done it in yemen and ifeel we might be doing it again here. we shall watch very closely. our report has been reporting very extensively in what is going on there right now. let's have a look at a big business story, and it is on the front page of the financial times as well. it would seem the oecd is unveiling a tax

overhaul that will squeeze more money from big companies. what is the detail on this? i have interviewed people for years about the fact that we cannot come up with an international solution on this problem. that is an important point, very low on detail. the comments under this ft story when you scratch the story, there is no harmonisation of taxation. they are fiendishly complicated. these tech giants bring ina huge complicated. these tech giants bring in a huge amount of income for these companies and certainly some of the countries, and indeed these tax havens, very, very complicated. step back and is interesting, we talk about trade tensions, trade wars, a great deal of pressure in the media, a huge amount of inequality. this does seem to be beginning to recognise that this is a problem that needs tackling. the european commission has already had a go, hasn't it, and said,, ireland was giving companies like apple illegal

state aid. action is being taken on a localised level. the question is whether there will be an international answer to this. they are global players. it is quite interesting, this collective of 36 democratic and free—market economies is coming together to come up with a protocol. very, very thin on detail. we will keep a close eye, but we well. it is so important and i will watch it in our business programming. the telegraph, british airways chief who is now in charge of iag, the body that has british airways as part of its portfolio of airlines, says fly... he says... he is having a go at flat shame as, which has been trendy in sweden. your take? which has been trendy in sweden. yourtake? —— flight which has been trendy in sweden. your take? —— flight shame is. which has been trendy in sweden. your take? -- flight shame is. --

shamers. this is on the business pages of the daily telegraph. it is talking about city airport, the heart of the financial district of london where a huge amount of private jet bar, doesn't talk about that. what is he saying? he is saying that people should not be, particularly holidaymakers and businesspeople, should be ashamed flying because not only are there mechanisms to offset some of your carbon foot print, but the benefits of global travel are huge. it is a classic, one extreme against the other and one has to hope for some moderation somewhere. the trouble is against the back drop of the rebellion campaign going on, they are talking about taking over city airport today, closing down the airport today, closing down the airport ina airport today, closing down the airport in a hong kong style protest, of course the head of the company is going to be... defending them. the issue is many argue it doesn't matter how much you recycle your waste at home and all the action you might take, if you get on an aeroplane, the damage caused to

the environment is just... so an aeroplane, the damage caused to the environment isjust... so much more. exactly. to contextualise this, we have elections coming up in the us and the uk and all the analysis you look at is particularly young people, this is a big dealfor them, the environmental concerns. this is not an issue that will go away. british airways and these big organisations are going to have to ta ke organisations are going to have to take a position on this. i had a good story ranting, the carbon footprint of the oil majors. this is pa rt footprint of the oil majors. this is part of a broader narrative. and an important narrative. and they have to have a position on this. talking of position, where are you on the idea that we should increase tax on unhealthy food and maybe even ban eating on public transport? that is the idea put forward by dame sally davis, who is about to stand down as a uk's top gp as it were. this is her swansong statement of certain

policy things she would like to say. you asked me what my position is, as an economist, someone who runs a business group, we run on facts and figures. we had a syntax imposed by the former government here and at the former government here and at the moment they are not releasing the moment they are not releasing the actual details... you mean increase in tax on sugary drinks? how effective this has been, a report that downing street had not yet released. i would like to see those facts and figures because to me on the face of this, it is a great idea, of course we have a problem with obesity, we live in a very sensitive society where it is very sensitive society where it is very difficult to say to somebody, especially a child, you are obese, you have a problem. it is difficult, and one of the points he makes is actually families need help with this because one of the difficulties is there is such a huge array of fast food and unhealthy food available to children and it is so cheap. this is children on the move, trains, teenagers, not children that you can control 24—7 that the age of

five. on the face of it, if you commute in london, try and eat your brea kfast commute in london, try and eat your breakfast might be quite difficult. it isa breakfast might be quite difficult. it is a late nightjourneys home where you can smell a burger in the air. my point is this is quite a flippant angle, it is so easy to be flippant angle, it is so easy to be flippa nt about these flippant angle, it is so easy to be flippant about these things. it is a huge problem. we have diabetes, huge problem coming from obesity that we are not actually talking about the nuts and bolts. this is the surface of it. i don't believe fast food is a lwa ys of it. i don't believe fast food is always that shape. it depends. it really depends. happy meals for some pa rents. really depends. happy meals for some parents. daily mirror... we are out of time. i am sorry. i can't get your opinion on that story that totally dominated the british social media circles, twitter, the press, everywhere. if you want to read about it, pick up a paper. i will see you very soon. hello there.

wednesday has been a very showery day across parts of scotland and northern ireland, particularly western scotland, rainfall totals really starting to mount up, we've seen some flash flooding in places, a lot of surface spray on the roads. as we head on into thursday, it looks like it's going to stay pretty unsettled, turn windier through the day with another band of rain moving in. could see a new area of low pressure. this is the low pressure we have had for the last few days, eventually clearing off to the north—east. this new area of low pressure will send its weather front out across the north—west of the country, and it will bring another round of fairly strong winds. thursday, though, starts off fine and dry for many. lovely spells of sunshine up and down the country. a few showers across western scotland continuing. and then the band of rain starts to push in to northern ireland initially, and then into much of scotland and perhaps the far north of england. and it is going to turn very wet and we could see further issues with surface water flooding across western scotland. whereas further south, although there'll be a lot of cloud across england and wales,

there could be quite a bit of dry weather too. the top temperature of 17 degrees. but through thursday night, it stays quite blustery. further heavy showers, longer spells of rain across the north—west of the country. and then we'll start to see some more persistent rain pushing to parts of england and wales by the end of the night. you notice the temperatures 12—14 in the south, turning much milder. temperatures 9 or 10 degrees the overnight low for scotland and northern ireland. the reason for the wet weather as we head on into friday and, indeed, into the weekend, is this weather front which will be pretty much parked across england and wales, we think, and it is going to bring a lot of rainfall throughout friday. tending to pile up into the hills of wales, perhaps the north midlands and northern england, particularly across the peat district. 50—70mm of rain by the time the day is out, so that could cause some issues, atrocious conditions on the road and some surface water flooding. across the far south—east, could see a little bit of brightness and dry weather, then it will be mild to the south of that weather front friday afternoon. 18 degrees will be the high. around 15 or 16

on the weather front. but to the north of it, for scotland and northern ireland, where we'll see sunshine and showers, cooler air mass, 13 or 14 degrees. and for the rest of friday, looks like the showers across northern areas begin to ease down. perhaps the rain for england and wales might ease down for a bit, before a new renewed bit of rain starts to push into the south—west so that means into the weekend, i think england and wales look like seeing most of the cloud and outbreaks of rain, which again could cause some issues with some surface water flooding. but a different story further north for scotland and northern ireland, you'll be in the slightly cooler air mass and there'll be a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of which may be heavy and thundery.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: turkey launches a ground invasion of northern syria as part of an assault on kurdish forces that has killed at least ten civilians. snacking should be banned on public transport according to england's outgoing chief medical officer in an effort to tackle child obesity. is it still good to talk? a quarter of people make less than five calls a month from their mobile — and most of those are over in 90 seconds according to the phone regulator. i'll have more on how we use mobiles is changing. in sport, england's rugby world cup game against france on saturday is cancelled as typhoon hagibis heads forjapan.
