japan is closed for a public holiday but you can see the strong gains from wall street on friday are travelling through to the asian trading session to hopes are high for a warm welcome to the programme — briefing you on all you need to know in global news, business and sport. also in the programme the climate change activist greta thunberg has got a new challenge — she needs to travel from california to the next un climate summit in madrid in 28 days. without taking to the skies she's asking for ideas. do send them in — just use the hashtag #bbcthebriefing. as air quality hits ‘hazardous‘ levels, delhi hasjust introduced a traffic restriction scheme to help tackle the worst air pollution in three years.

for the next 12 days, car drivers will only be allowed into the indian capital on odd or even dates, according to the final digit of their car number plate. live now to delhi and our correspondent salman ravi. you can see the extent of the smog they're making you can see the extent of the smog they‘ re making visibility you can see the extent of the smog they're making visibility very difficult. now let's speak live to oui’ difficult. now let's speak live to our correspondent. salman, this scheme has started. how is it working? it began this morning. i wa nt to working? it began this morning. i want to apologise for my bad voice because of the weather. the people living here, the most polluted capital of the world, we are all suffering like this. in order to ease the polluted air the government

announced rationing of the traffic system. registration number plates of cars to apply on odd and even days, a registration card with an odd number will apply on alternate days. this is just odd number will apply on alternate days. this isjust to reduce the project pollution levels but the major pollutants are the stubble thatis major pollutants are the stubble that is being burnt in different parts of northern india and that wind is coming to delhi, the capital and that is why there is a layer of smog across the area. excuse me, this is 14 times higher than the prescribed safe limit if the statistics and the equality —— air quality monitor are to be believed. it was around 708 during the evening, 14 times more than the

prescribed level considered to be a serious category. the streets are closed and the air emergency has been declared in delhi and adjoining areas. most of the areas in north india are facing a similar crisis. people report reading problems in the hospital and i spoke to hospital authorities and government officials and they say the number of patients with respiratory tree problems and pulmonary issues have increased 22% compared to the previous year. so this haze has ripped delhi right from the morning even as this rationing system has been put into force. does this scheme apply to all vehicles on the road such as commercial vehicles? does that mean taxi drivers are earning less with this new system in place? this

scheme does not apply to the taxi service and women driving the car have been exempted. and when schools open on wednesday, even schoolchildren, the cars carrying schoolchildren, the cars carrying schoolchildren have been exempt. but the chief minister of delhi says that if they can at least reduce the level of pollution just a little so people can breathe properly in the capital city. thank you forjoining us. capital city. thank you forjoining us. explaining quite clearlyjust how difficult things are and how extreme it is there at the moment. we have more detail online and a lot more information about what is being experienced. this new system being put in place starting today. much more detail online so take a look if you wish to. the last ever leader of the soviet union, mikhail gorbachev, has warned that tension between russia and the west is putting the world in "colossal danger" because of the threat of nuclear weapons. he was speaking with our moscow correspondent,

steve rosenberg, to mark 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall. these days it is rare to see mikael gorbachev in front of a camera. at 88 years old he avoids the limelight. i'm slowing down, he tells me. i can barely stand up to but the man who helped to end the cold war has a message for the world. that his achievements are at risk. and one of his greatest achievements was ending the arms race between the soviet union and america. his diplomatic double act with ronald reagan slashed the two superpowers national —— nuclear arsenals. but the arms race has reignited. there is new tension and

fierce rivalry between moscow and the west. how dangerous do you think the west. how dangerous do you think the current confrontation is between russia and the west? translation:- long as weapons of mass destruction exist, nuclear weapons, the danger is colossal. all nations should declare. all nations. nuclear weapons must be destroyed. to save ourselves, and our planet. in the past we used to talk about the cold war. how would you describe the current stand—off tween russia and the west? chile, but still a war.

look at what is happening. in different places there are skirmishes. there are shooting. ships and aircraft are being sent here there and everywhere. this is a situation we do not need. it was gorbachev‘s reforms at home that inspired millions across eastern europe to rise up against communism. he did nothing to stop it. but 30 yea rs he did nothing to stop it. but 30 years ago, how did he react when the berlin wall fell and east and west germany were set to reunite? there must not be bloodshed. that was our name. we could not allow that. 0ver an issue of such magnitude for germany and for us, for europe. the whole world. so we declared we would not interfere. from iron curtain's two iron ladies he famously hit it

off with margaret thatcher. but what does gorbachev make of brexit? translation: you can figure that one out yourself. you british are clever clogs. i will not give you advice. you decide. so not only a president that a true diplomat.. let's brief you on some of the other stories making the news: a cross—party group of british mps has called on the government to reassess its approach to illegal migration, following the discovery of 39 people in the back of a lorry last month. the british government says it's working extensively with its international partners to solve migration issues. five people have been injured in a knife attack at the site of a pro—democracy protest in hong kong. the authorties say two people are in a critical condition. china's state—run media has published calls for tougher action against the protesters.

hong kong has experienced five months of sometimes violent demonstrations the governor of the us state of california, gavin newsom, has reacted angrily to tweets by president trump blaming him for the recent wildfires and threatening to withhold federal aid. in the last two weeks, blazes have spread across close to 100,000 acres of land in california. demonstrators in iraq have been blocking roads in the capital, baghdad, and other cities as they continue a wave of anti—government protests. students have been staging sit—ins, and in many places government offices have stayed closed. the chief executive of the fast food company, mcdonald's, has been sacked for having a consensual relationship with an employee. the company said steve easterbrook had demonstrated poorjudgement and that it was against company rules for managers to become romantically involved with a subordinate. joining me now is eileen burbidge, a partner at passion capital.

wonderful to have you with us this morning. the chief executive, steve easterbrook, was seen as someone who really... not turned the company around, that is too strong, but gave ita around, that is too strong, but gave it a boost. he has been ceo since 2015 and over the last 11.5 years the share price of the company has basically doubled, prophets have taken ahead and the companies scheduled to release the latest quarterly results this week which is when they will announce the new ceo pay packet and perhaps that severance. pay packet and perhaps that severance. he was definitely credited for forging the company ahead and investing in technology and thinking about what customers really wa nt. and thinking about what customers really want. so those digital kiosks, that is all his fault. we don't have to deal with a being until you get your food. don't have to deal with a being until you get yourfood. and, as you say, things like teaming up with

over a and many interesting and innovative ideas which is what mcdonald's needed. absolutely. other chains, takeaway chains, need to innovate because you are competing with more options that are becoming more convenient with better price targeting and healthier. so the restau ra nts targeting and healthier. so the restaurants are struggling and definitely when he was in the uk, he rose to the rate —— ranks through the uk first and then moved across to be global brand officer and then ceo. he revamped stores and franchises and unfortunately just did not abide by the company's code of conduct. it is interesting how we see culture change atop levels within corporations globally. ever since the hashtag me to movements it is very important to make sure it is a consensual relationship, we must make certain that everybody realises that this was a consensual relationship between easterbrook and the woman. but companies now feel

they need to call things out. and i think that is right. it is right for corporations and broad —— boards to hold executives to account. it between 15 and $20 million a year in compensation, he is meant to demonstrate that he represented the company but the fact is, the question is how consensual can it really be, given his position as power as chief executive of the company and is that unfair or inappropriate, given the woman situation and what her role at the company would be if she had a real opportunity to decide whether or not she wanted to engage in there. opportunity to decide whether or not she wanted to engage in therem opportunity to decide whether or not she wanted to engage in there. it is an interesting story and we have not heard from the woman at all. steve has said he agrees that it was a poor decision on his part. interesting to see what the results will show us when they are out this week. eileen will return later with our news briefing. and also to come,

the sports news. still to come, all the sports news including lewis hamilton's sixth formula 1 world title. he's nowjust one short of michael shumacher‘s record. the israeli prime minister, yitzhak rabin, the architect of the middle east peace process, has been assassinated. a 27—year—old jewish man has been arrested, and an extremistjewish organisation has claimed responsibility for the killing. at polling booths throughout the country, they voted on a historic day for australia. as the results came in, it was clear. the monarchy would survive. of the american hostages, there was no sign. they are being held somewhere inside the compound, and student leaders have threatened that should the americans attempt rescue, they will all die. this mission has surpassed all expectations. voyageri is now the most distant man—made object anywhere in the universe, and itjust

seems to keep on going. tonight, we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from the might of our arms, or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals. you're watching the briefing. our headlines: delhi has imposed new traffic restrictions as millions are told to stay indoors and avoid the toxic smog. the former soviet leader mikhail gorbachev has told the bbc that he belives nuclear weapons need to be destroyed to resolve the dangerous stand—off between russia and the west. for the past three months oil slicks have been washing up along the brazilian coastline, affecting more than 2,000 kilometers of beaches. now, in a television interview the president, jair bolsonaro, has said the worst is yet to come. gareth barlow has more.

it's become a familiar sight on brazil's beaches, pristine sands tarnished by oil and ta. for months, workers and volunteers have removed tons of black sludge, and now the president is warning the worst is yet to come. its painstaking work, but vital for the environment, and brazil's tourist sector. the authorities suspect a greek tanker that sailed from venezuela is to blame. translation: oceanographic calculations of previous activity we re calculations of previous activity were made, and according to the modelling, it is believed that only one ship could have left that oil spell. on sunday, hundreds of people went to the sea to show that brazil's beaches are still open. the worry is they could be more oil about to wash ashore.

now it's time to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. including of course the incredible results from lewis hamilton. hello, i'm mark edwards lewis hamilton has become the second most successful formula 1 driver of all time after winning his sixth world title on sunday. the brit finished runner up at the us grand prix which was enough to secure the drivers championship and draw himself to within one title of all—time record—holder michael schumacher. hamilton held off max verstappen for second as his mercedes teammate valteri bottas passed him with three laps to go to take the chequered flag. no matter though, the day belonging to the 34—year—old who takes his thirds consecutive title, securing the championship with 10 victories out of the 19 races held so far this season. mario balotelli threatened to walk off the pitch during a serie a match after being the victim of alleged racial abuse. the former manchester city and inter milan star picked the ball up and kicked it into the stands.

he wanted to walk off before being persuaded by opposition players and his own teammates to play on. the referee stopped the game for a while and initiated uefa's anti—racism protocol. ash can flash the cash. ashley barty has won the biggest check in tennis history after beating elina svitolina to lift the crown in the season ending wta finals. the australian pockets a cool $4.4 million and will retain her world number one ranking after the 6—4, 6—3 win in china. it's been incredible, i think i'm really going to have to sit down and rewatch and relive some of the memories we have had. there are a few different ones that obviously jump few different ones that obviously jump out at you more than the others but there are so many important, crucial moment in some of the smaller matches and in some of the smaller matches and in some of the smaller moments throughout the year that i am most proud of. 2018 nba champions golden state warriors will be looking to bounce

back from their back to back defeats to san antonio and to the charlotte hornets when they welcome portland to the chase centre in san francisco on monday. but they'll have to continue to do it the hard way, with an injury ravaged squad. some serious stars missing — no stephen curry, out for three months with a broken hand. klay thompson's torn acl means he's not about. d'angelo russell heading to the infirmary with an ankle injury, he won't feature. and draymond green, well he suffered a sprained left index finger during friday's loss to the san antonio spurs. a real all—star cast on the sidelines. and finally, yet another addition to our goalkeeping clangers viral vids. spare a thought for poor christos mandas. the 18—year—old atromitos keeper having what can only be described as absolutely dreadful day at the office as his side lost 3—2 to aek athens in the greek superleague. clanger1— an own goal.

nelson oliveira's shot hits a post, then rolls into the net off the keeper. nine minutes later, an even bigger one, totally agricultural control from mandas making a complete hash of a backpass. oliveira again on hand. two clangers and an utter mare for mandas. and that's all from us at the bbc sport centre. you can get all the latest sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me mark edwards, and the rest of the sport team, thats your monday sport briefing. here are some of the events going on in the rest of the day. president emmanuel macron arrives in beijing for a three day summit. the england rugby team land back at heathrow following their defeat in the world cup rugby final on saturday. and later this evening in madrid, the main candidates will participate in a live tv debate ahead

made. even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious. you are offered the job specifically by walt disney. when you were offered that, i think you were just pregnant at the time? i was in a broadway show and disney came to see the show, and came back stage, and he suddenly said would you be interested in coming to hollywood to learn about mary poppins and would i be keen to maybe hear the songs, and so on? and i was thrilled, and i said mr disney, i would love to, but i have to tell you, i'm pregnant, and he said well that's ok, we will wait. something like nine months later, the script was ready, the sets were ready, everything was there. and you are ready! i had had my lovely baby, and there we are. you then moved onto sound of music. those are some of the von trapp children, because it comes out in the book that when you are filming that seen in the boat, one of them couldn't swim.

fog patches, some persistent rain going across parts of eastern scotland, this zone of marine from east anglia through the midlands, north of england, by the northern ireland, pushes a little bit further north is it clears the midlands, many of us will stay dry for the rest of the day with some sunny spells, heavy showers for south wales in southern england, it could be thundery, and this is the rain falling into eastern scotland, not softwa re falling into eastern scotland, not software but windy here, gusts up to 50 per hour. pretty miserable wet day here as the rain keeps on coming, and they could be some disruption from flooding as those totals start. it will feel quite cold, and we have the rain here and still into monday evening, some of that will start to ease, some of that will start to ease, some of that putting down across more in north—east england, on into tuesday morning, the further south you are some clear spells, some fog patches while winds are latest tuesday begins. on tuesday, the cold air coming from the north and north—east, still at least showers or some outbreaks of rain affecting eastern parts of the uk and those

temperatures topping out in single figures. on the big picture, as we go from tuesday into wednesday we are in between weather systems, so it is going to be chilly, they will be some frost around in places with fog patches to start wednesday, but then quite quickly the next system coming in from the atlantic, still something to play for in the timing, wednesday may not look quite like this by the time we get to it but the idea is it is a chilly start, cloud increasing, some outbreaks of rain moving in, to some cold air, the higher you are in the hills and mountains of scotland, you could see some snow out of that. that is the 00:28:39,140 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 latest forecast.
