in the mail, according the queen's official dresser it has been revealed that the monarch has gone fur—free. in a new memoir angela kelly says her majesty will only wear fur—free new items for engagements due to changing attitudes in the country. any outfits designed for the queen now will use fake fur instead. and finally the front of the mirror hails a new medical breakthrough after uk scientists create a dna test at birth which can predict the risk of serious health conditions. the new test could save the lives of 3,000 children a year and will allow early treatment of life—threatening ailments like cystic fibrosis. with me is stephanie hare who is an independent analyst. let's get stuck in. the independent dedicates its entire front page, it's a very strong image, untold

suffering. yes, let's try to think positively. 0n the one hand yesterday we had us president donald trump announced that america was formally withdrawing from the paris climate agreement and this was the timed response. the rest of the scientific community, 153 countries really don't care. so you're going to see the rest of the world moving on towards addressing climate change, possibly independent of the united states federal government. and we've got an election next year, maybe the us could change course. that's a potential positive. it could because with that withdrawal of your paris agreement, it would come into effect until about the beginning of november next year. exactly. and therefore a new government, if they were to be a new government, if they were to be a new government in the white house, could have asset. in this letter they do underscore what we would need to do to change course and improve and i think these are things that all of

us think these are things that all of us could you come replacing fossil feels, that's really happening, eating less meat, that is something that we can do in an individual or family level, stabilising population growth, some of that's really happening. there are encouraging signs at things that we can all do. i read the story on my way in avenue with the stories, initially your heart just with the stories, initially your heartjust sinks, doesn't it? and talks about clear and unequivocal emergency, say scientists. lots of detail on bbc online. what i like about it, as you say, like the fact that they give very clear away is that they give very clear away is that we can change this. six things that we can change this. six things that can be done and as everybody, isn't it? it's government ‘s business, individuals, ngos, we've all got to do this, haven't we? it's pretty clear. exactly and i think the incentive for us to do that u nfortu nately the incentive for us to do that unfortunately may involve some of this becoming more real, because we we re this becoming more real, because we were starting to feel the effects of the climate emergency, they stuck to

link it with their own behaviour, that of the city or even their country. it's quite interesting because when i was reading the six things that can be done, you are saying we are already making a lot of progress in some of these. but when you're looking at energy for example, politicians should impose carbon fees high enough to discourage the use of fossil feels. thatin discourage the use of fossil feels. that in itself is really tricky, i thought. because i was thinking of, the big players in the fossilfuel industry. i can't imagine the saudi arabian government which owns them putting the policy in place. it's also the fact that this hasn't uneven impact, we saw that with the yellow jacket movement uneven impact, we saw that with the yellowjacket movement in france that some people are going to be more effective than others by taxes on fuel or carbon products and we are seeing that in chile, we have to be really careful on whether or not wealthier people can afford to make

the transition towards renewable energy first put up there has to be away and thus the weather role of government comes in, working in partnership with companies to make the right choice affordable. that's why the climate change agreement that was broken in paris, 20151 believe, was so important because it was so many believe, was so important because it was so many countries, virtually all the countries globally coming together to agree on a way to move forward because there has to be international response. yes, climate change, climate crisis is bottomless. it doesn't matter if you are doing your thing your next door neighbour is not. we all have to do it together. let's move onto the new york times, it's quite a long that looks into guidance on states ambassador to the european union actually changing what he initially said about how this conversation was going on in the process that was going on in the process that was going on in the process that was going on between donald trump, his administration and ukraine, and whether donald trump did actually say, aid to you crane is dependent

on what you tell us aboutjoe biden and his side and what they're up to in the agreement this impeachment enquiry is ongoing. how do you think this is being dealt with as a political analyst and as an american? give us your take on this. 0h american? give us your take on this. oh my god, as an american i'm sure that i take share of the view of my country people and want to make it go away. as an alice i think what's really important is that this person, gordon sunderland has refreshed memory, very interested choice of liquid. ——as an analyst. a second possible has come forward, we now have somebody who had direct contact with president donald trump about this and makes it clear, it was a quid pro quo, another would be could use for this is a bribe. so to go after your political opponents in exchange for the us government providing military aid to another country, could potentially be impeachable and that will make it very difficult for trump's

republican supporters to defend this. it's quite interested, donald trump in the white house and those around him from the beginning have been very clear, this is a witch—hunt, this all just been very clear, this is a witch—hunt, this alljust part of the campaign on the part of the democrats to find anything they can and they are not going to succeed, again. how do you think this is playing out in terms of the run—up to the election next year? blessing in kentucky, and in other states, in local elections, the republicans are not doing well. the democratic ground, is at the sign of a change or not? it's tricky. with the average american make a different voting choice based on the story? it's hard to say. a lot of the move away from the republicans could be about local issues, how people are dealing with their economy, the real issues that are affecting ordinary people ‘s lives. this is going to be more significant i think for the impeachment process that is working

its way through the house at the moment. and eventually to the centre. it's not looking good though, for the president? it's a long road, a look at history of impeachment, its, buckle up commissary services and ultramarathon. and we are in the early miles was up we are in mild one. we are in mile one, another 25 to go. the metro talking politics and this story is jacob rees—mogg facing calls resignation following an interview that he did when he talked about the grand belltower victims and says some of them that common sense he stop ——he retracted and try to apologise, realising what he said was probably really, you know... not good comments given the report we had out last week about what happened in the towers, absolute the apollo. stormzy, the

mattresses — the front page of the mattresses — the front page of the mattresses he's got to go. it's difficult to know what to say other than it's not helpful. the comments ofjacob rees—mogg than it's not helpful. the comments of jacob rees—mogg was than it's not helpful. the comments ofjacob rees—mogg was not than it's not helpful. the comments of jacob rees—mogg was not helpful and this is a very painful moment of the city of london and everyone who is associated with the towers, family members, nobody needs to hear that this wasn't done in the appropriate way. the potential even criticise the firefighters giving advice to the people trapped in the tower. not quite sure what happened there. let's look at the queen. further majesty no more. the queen ditches real fur as she goes for fa ke ditches real fur as she goes for fake fur in all new outfits. yes, this is setting a new tone for the royal family of perhaps going more green, more friendly for animals, royal family of perhaps going more green, more friendly foranimals, et cetera. it shows that we can change as we get older. indeed, absolutely and swiftly moving on, talking of

change, both test revolutions is the front page of the daily mail. this is you take that could actually be very, very significant. for those babies ball that have perhaps got the genetic disorder that could cause them real harm in the future. it's really exciting because the tests that we currently do for the heel test when the baby is born only catch about nine genericallyjust —— genetically inherited diseases. it could save lives, but also some of them are treatable conditions that given an intervention early enough could allow a child to thrive, so it's really exciting. it's a victory for science. it is fantastic, thank you very much indeed, stephanie. thank you very much for your comments, mainly about the story that stephanie and i discussed earlier, moving kids from screens to audio, for any parent it's a big challenge was not i will see you soon, have a great day today and join in on the debate. i will see you soon.

hello there. the rest of this week is going to remain on the chilly side, certainly temperatures a few degrees down on where they should be for the time of year. we've been seeing this colder air move southwards in the last 2a hours across the country, and it's going to stick around for the rest of the week, and there will be some pretty wet weather around, especially on thursday. the early part of wednesday looks mainly dry. a few showers peppering northern and eastern coasts, and some showers around irish sea coasts. but further inland, under clear skies, it's going to be a chilly one. temperatures close to freezing in the south and below freezing in the north, so there will be some frost. a little bit of mist and fog around to greet us for wednesday morning. that said, there should be plenty of sunshine across central, northern and eastern areas. but this area of showers around the irish sea will push slowly eastwards, merge together to produce longer spells of rain. could be a little bit of wintriness over the higher ground in the north. a dry slot in between this next band of rain, pushing into northern ireland, wales and the south—west of england later in the day, and a chilly day to come wherever you are — 6—10 degrees.

through wednesday night, that first band of rain pushes northwards. there'll be further wintriness over the higher ground, and this next band of rain continues to move in, and almost merges with it, so it could be quite wet in places by the end of the night. a few blustery showers following on behind, but maybe not quite as cold to start thursday as what we've seen the last few nights. for thursday, though, it's not looking very pleasant. we do have this area of low pressure pretty much parked on top of the uk, a stationary low with its associated weather front. and this weather front could bring quite a lot of rainfall in places, perhaps even the risk of some localised flooding. at the moment, it looks like it's going to be affecting more eastern, central parts of the uk, across into northern ireland. there could be some travel disruption from flooding caused by this. it could be a little bit further northwards, it could be a little bit further southwards. to the north of it, a few showers, wintry on the hills, and further south, some blustery showers, some of them heavy, a little bit of sunshine around,

and again it's going to be another chilly day. improvement as we head through thursday night. into friday, that weatherfront eventually slips away, takes the rain and the breeze with it, from the south—east. but much of the country will start chilly, perhaps seeing a little bit of frost, and then it looks like it will be a bright day, with pretty widespread sunshine. it could be the best day of the week, but a chilly one — 6—10 degrees. it's a short—lived fine spell, because into the weekend, here comes the next area of low pressure, to bring some wet weather with some wintriness on the hills for saturday. a slow improvement on sunday. but like i mentioned, it could be pretty wet in places on saturday, with some wet snow or sleet over the high ground on the north. a gradual improvement as we head into sunday.
