in the media across the world. isa we begin with the independent, which reports on a group of british don't know. it is 102 pages. there is a lot of detail —— 110. with the mps planning to rebel against borisjohnson‘s drive to force a brexit confirmation deal through parliament in just three days. as canada goes to the polls, original scenario in parliament, if an editorial in the toronto sun concludes that whoever the in the house had allowed a vote becomes prime minister is going to have a huge problem re—uniting the country. gulf news leads with lebanon's efforts to stop its biggest on it, some are saying the numbers anti—government street demonstrations in decades. the paper says the prime minister show that the government may have had hoped a series of reforms, got a yes to that. but now the move including tax freezes and salary cuts for politicians, is, on the part of borisjohnson, if would calm public anger. but demonstrators say the reforms should have come earlier. the guardian's financial pages cover we can't do that let's do this, a report which says measures aimed at tackling the gender pay—gap which is put it all out there and should apply to smaller firms, employing more than 30 people just grapple with it for three days. and notjust to large companies with over 250 employees. and the times highlights the issue it is thought the politicians will of over—population and ageing be in parliament until midnight. in western nations, with news that they may even go through the night there's likely to be 70 million on some occasions. can you imagine? people living in the uk within they came in on saturday morning. a decade, while the proportion 00:01:44,708 --> 2147483051:37:37,069 of the population over 85 is set 2147483051:37:37,069 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 to double in the next 25 years. on some occasions. can you imagine? they came in on saturday morningm is an endurance test. it is an endurance test. it's a game. who's got control of the issue. and the issueis got control of the issue. and the issue is that it is still all the uncertainty, as your previous guest was saying. there is a lot of

uncertainty still. in his business is really hard. with so much to discuss and so much more detailfor politicians to grapple with, the concern is that, actually, he will not get it across the line now because there will be opposition to various aspects of this 110 page bill. a110 page bill is a lot to get through. and a lot of questions and details in opposition. the toronto sun, and all the press in canada,is toronto sun, and all the press in canada, is looking at the divided canada, is looking at the divided canada on election day. it looks like justin canada on election day. it looks likejustin trudeau has confirmed he has just got it to get into a second term. it is a minority government. something canada has not seen for decades. no, and he didn't get the popular vote. this article is about the country is much more divided and trudeau has been quite divisive in a way. they have got to put it

together again. that is what the article is about. trudeau, he came in with such high hopes. and, as ever, you can't always obtain those. there has been a bit of a crash and other events along the way. there has been a bit of a crash and other events along the waym there has been a bit of a crash and other events along the way. it is interesting because canada is the latest exa m ple interesting because canada is the latest example of an election which does not give a party a strong majority in power. we are seeing it in israel cannot, canada, here in the uk. our government has not but a majority in parliament ——in israel, canada. is this betterfor the people? there has to be more collaboration, more discussion. it may not be right. there is a school of thought that says actually these coalition governments can be better because they can be more inclusive, you can get more diversity of views held, but the world isn't used to

them. it depends on where you are! in germany they are used to them. and in italy as well. so it's different. having more of a diversity of views in a government is better, it makes for more inclusive government. lebanon, of course, a really tricky story. the lebanese have vowed to stay on the streets despite reforms. we are seeing this in many countries, where the have—nots feel things are just too tough and this is the only way we can get our message heard, we're going to take to the streets and cause severe disruption, maybe then we will see change. like you said, it is happening in chile as well. here in lebanon people have felt that their voices were not being heard. the economy is really deteriorating, and the steps of the concessions that the government gave just came that little bit too late. and i think, you know, the lebanese economy is suffering because there

has been decreasing remittances, where they are geographically, so people, it's the only way they seem to be able to be heard. and in a gulf news they talk about the fact that the prime minister announced a lot of economic reforms in the budget yesterday, but it was not enough. it was not enough to appease the protesters, the protest swelled in the hours following the announcement. it was notjust the new tax reforms and changes they we re new tax reforms and changes they were hoping for. no, nothing there properly came too late. again it is politicians not reading the population. i would like to get your ta ke population. i would like to get your take on this story about the bank of england and andy haldane who is saying smaller firms should make a report as well about the gender pay gap within their own organisations. it shouldn't be just companies of 202 people or more. give us your ta ke 202 people or more. give us your take on this idea. well, i think that it's about transparency, isn't it? it's about letting people know what the situation is. it's very easy to hide behind and say there is no disparity. we're notjust talking

about gender gaps, we're looking at ethnic pay gaps as well. so i think let's be clear people should know what the situation is. and i think that's really the essence behind what he is saying, as well as saying, actually, we need to fix somethings, even our own house, the bank of england where they did their review, the situation of women, and it was not great. they have nine white men all in the lead. think it is an acknowledgement up there, the bank of england, that, indeed, not everything is as it should be. and if you don't have the facts what can you do about them is white absolutely. and i the smaller companies of course there is a lot of weight on those who run small businesses in terms of bureaucracy, paperwork, it's another job businesses in terms of bureaucracy, paperwork, it's anotherjob they have to do, but actually sometimes change has to be forced, do we think? sometimes change is to be forced. and again, you can't do anything unless you know the fact.

the times has very strong statistics that came from the office of national statistics yesterday. the population to hit 70 million in a decade. this is a problem on many levels, isn't it? and it is also good news. we are living longer, we are healthier. we are living longer! this article mentions the increase in migration and the increase in the elderly population and the need we will have for infrastructure. it will have for infrastructure. it will put pressure on many parts of the uk economy, but it is a big issue in many parts of the world. michaela, thank you so much. and thank you for your company on the briefing. have a really good day. hello there. pressure will be building in for tuesday morning, so it looks like many places will start dry. you can see this area of high pressure pushing in from the south—west keeping this weather front at bay. mainly affecting the far north

of the country to start the day. we will have lost that weather front across the south—east so drier there too. so it's going to be quite a chilly start to tuesday, with some mist and fog around, particularly where those skies clear and the temperatures really drop. so don't be surprised if you see scenes like this across some central and southern parts of england and wales to greet us this morning. now, that mist and fog could linger on for a few hours, but it should tend to lift and break and then we should see a good deal of dry weather with some sunshine across england and wales. a vast improvement across the south—east. more cloud further north, certainly for scotland and northern ireland. most of the rain in the far north, with many places staying dry. temperatures 12—15 degrees in the south. so that should feel quite pleasant. and then through tuesday night it stays dry, variable cloud across england and wales. stays breezy, though, for scotland, northern ireland, with rain tending to flirt with the north—west corner. temperature wise, again chilly in one or two spots, particularly where skies clear. so on into wednesday, we hold on to the fine weather, i think, across much of the south—east. we have this weather front still bringing wet and windy weather to the far north—west. and that low pressure system across spain and france bringing a lot of rain and mayjust influence the weather across the south—east.

a weather front here sending more cloud perhaps one or two showers. for the north and the west it stays windy. outbreaks of rain, which will become more persistent in parts of northern ireland, western scotland. but in between again a slice of dry weather. those temperatures 12—15 degrees. as we head on into thursday, it looks like that front in the south—east may bring a little bit of rain. but we've got low pressure to the north—west which will push in to bring a spell of windy weather here. now, we could see gales or even severe gales for a time across western scotland. showers or even longer spells of rain here. one or two showers further south, particularly in south—east where we will have that weak weather front. in between, some good spells of sunshine and again those temperatures around the low to mid—teens celsius. low pressure then clears off to the north to end the week. we could see something a little bit drier once again. but then we look to the south—west, this new area of low pressure will slide into bring increasing cloud and rain through the day. but we start friday off on a dry note for many, with sunshine, a few showers in the north, which will be wintry on the hills. there will be some cold there across northern areas so as this wet and windy weather pushes northwards we could see some snow fall on the higher ground of scotland.

but it will be milder in the south.
