will headline glastonbury next year for it's golden jubilee. the former beatle will top the bill on the pyramid stage on saturday 27 june, a week after his 78th birthday. with me is inga beale, from london first, a not for profit group made up of business leaders from across the city. have you ever been to glastonbury?” haven't. nor have i! not even though you can do glamping, have not done it. let's start with the financial times. so many other media organisations globally are looking at this situation in hong kong. it is the situation in the university karen —— camp now which seems to have calmed down a bit but there are still students inside and i have spoken to one a little earlier on this programme. give us your take
5:47 am
that up this image on the front of the ft is a striking one. the images are very, very powerful and my goodness, i feel not just are very, very powerful and my goodness, i feel notjust of the stu d e nts goodness, i feel notjust of the students all the people protesting but i also feel for all of the other residents in hong kong. this must have been an awful few months they have been an awful few months they have been an awful few months they have been going through and it has been going on for a long time. this is that culmination. it is all bubbling over, isn't it? the sad thing is that nobody seems to know how to get the situation into some peaceful environment where people can actually talk about the real issues and then sometimes the real issues and then sometimes the real issues get muddled and confused and people forget what the real issues are now. it is a demonstration, i think, of what is happening a lot around the world which is young people are saying, "i want my future to be different to what i am seeing is coming my way and i have a voice and you have got to listen to me". what is different with hong kong is a relationship with mainland china. a communist run state and the
5:48 am
pro—democracy protesters are saying initially it was about an extradition bill that it ballooned into other issues as well and it is all about mainland china and its control of what happens in hong kong. indeed. and of course a lot of these people are really concerned about what could happen to them, particularly if there is a regime that comes in and is clamping down on perhaps freedom of speech and their ability to stay connected with their ability to stay connected with the rest of the world because anybody who goes to hong kong and then perhaps goes over the border into the mainland, suddenly there is a cut—off point where you don't have access to your usual newsfeeds and things like that so they are two quite different environments. we are looking at a load of images coming through and there allegations about how heavy—handed the police have beenin how heavy—handed the police have been in dealing with the situation in hong kong and we are keeping this story as it unfolds. still students inside who say they plan to stay there as long as they can. but let
5:49 am
us move on there as long as they can. but let us move on to other media. this is looking at kpmg and they are ending the mental scheme started by prince andrew. this is a mentorship scheme for budding entrepreneurs and kpmg are saying, we cannot be associated with the duke of york anymore. well, the relationship ended at the end of october so the news about interview is not the key factor in why kpmg obviously made this decision because iam sure obviously made this decision because i am sure a group like kpmg would have probably ta ken i am sure a group like kpmg would have probably taken months to make such an important decision. nonetheless, it was their feeling that they didn't want to be associated anymore, thinking that they might be more trouble to come. i think the interview, it didn't work out well for the prince. i think everybody is thinking that. not everyone is used to actually
5:50 am
being quizzed, particularly when you are being filmed and i'm afraid today, entered a's world, if you are not coming over is really, really genuine, people seem to think —— see through it and itjust hasn't worked for him. this article in the guardian talks about the fact that of course kpmg is the big accountancy firm, also the insurance company, you achieve executives of lloyd's in london, you have to be so careful about how you manage your brand and what your associations are. yes, you take so long to build up are. yes, you take so long to build up your brand and so long to build up up your brand and so long to build up trust in your brand and then it can be destroyed overnight, so this is why reputation management is such an important part of what businesses focus on now and i'm afraid people will cut off if they think that it is going to harm their brand. we have talked about this already but the city am has their take on the confederation of british industry
5:51 am
conference in london. it is always a huge event and usually there is a pacific political leader speaking. today they have three. they were scattered throughout the day, getting their moment as it were to win votes. a tough audience for them and for all of them. most of the business world across the country. what an amazing situation to be in, in the middle of the election campaign, smack bang in the middle of that they get these three political leaders and of course an opportunity for each leader to give their spin and say how much they love business. interesting that the prime minister boris johnson love business. interesting that the prime minister borisjohnson should choose this particular event to say that they will not go ahead with the previous promise from the previous chancellor of cutting corporation tax, they won't gonna do it. what is interesting is i turned up at an evening reception after the day yesterday and there wasn't actually
5:52 am
much talk about what these leaders we re much talk about what these leaders were saying. i think there is a weariness, there is a sort of rolling of the eyes and a saying, gosh, what can we believe these days? people keep changing their tune, what is the real message? we don't know what the reality will be no matter what they promise because we don't know what they will pass in parliament. it was the same with the queen's speech. people didn't take that much notice because they thought actually, this is a government that doesn't have a majority so we can't guarantee anything will get through parliament. yes and everyone is wanting to spend all this money on all of these things, sorting everything out in the country and people are saying, look, where is that money going to come from? there is only a finite partner! well maybe, kyliejenner is only a finite partner! well maybe, kylie jenner can give is only a finite partner! well maybe, kyliejenner can give them some advice. 22 years old, a model, a massive influence on social media, instagram, those places was up she has her own cot —— cosmetics brand, so has her own cot —— cosmetics brand, so many others are doing this kind of thing but she is obviously doing
5:53 am
extremely well. she is and what an inspiration for other young and i think particularly young women and girls. and when i think about women in business and where i started, gosh, if we had the confidence to go out and do this, this would be amazing! she started this business when she was just 18 years old. she already had at that time a massive following on social media so she had that i suppose in terms of collateral but to transit —— turn it into a business that you then sell on... to negotiate such a sale and to have a stake in her future and to ta ke to have a stake in her future and to take it forward and say, "i am going to be an international cosmetic powerhouse and change the world", fantastic ambition, i love it. keep an eye. another one, paul mccartney, just after his 78th birthday, he will be the top act at glastonbury on the saturday night. yes, paul
5:54 am
mccartney 78, kylie jenner, on the saturday night. yes, paul mccartney 78, kyliejenner, 22. a lovely round 100 it makes. but what a contrast between the two of them and yet paul, there he is, still fit enough, keeping himself fit, fantastic, it shows he has real skill and talent and he is going to get up on the stage and thriller soul. absolutely and then diana ross the next day, levity five years old, what a fantastic lineup. when you think about the different generations that go to glastonbury, look at the long lasting appeal that they have got and look at, you can recycle music, what are green, sustainable sector it is! it is the 50th anniversary for glastonbury. thank you very much for being on the briefing and thank you for your comments and thoughts as well on napping at work. if you want to look at the hashtag, have a really good day and we will see you soon. goodbye.
5:55 am
hello there. the largely dry and sunny conditions of the next few days will be very welcome across much of the country, particularly for england and wales, which have seen so much rainfall over the past few weeks. this morning we're starting off on a cold, frosty note with some fog around. some of it could be quite dense. it looks like it will stay sunny for many areas through the day. a ridge of high pressure bringing these fine, settled conditions. this weather front pushing into western areas means that temperatures will be starting on such a cold note, as they will be further north and east. perhaps —9 or —10 degrees in one or two spots in scotland and around —5, —6 for northern england, so a bitterly cold start to the day with a hard frost across the country. dense fog patches through the midlands, into southern england, wales, could cause some issues through the morning. they'll tend to lift into low cloud, perhaps drift northwards into parts of lincolnshire and yorkshire, spoiling the sunshine a little bit here. but for most, it should be cold and sunny. this weather front bringing outbreaks of rain into parts of northern ireland, western fringes of wales and into the south—west of england where there will be less cold here, but it's supposed to be
5:56 am
another chilly day for all. on into tuesday night then, picking up more of breeze from the south, so although it starts off cold, by the end of the night, it looks like the frost will be limited more towards scotland and the north—east of england. but still, quite a chilly start for wednesday. variable amounts of cloud, some spells of sunshine too. this weather front across the west will be producing further rain for northern ireland, perhaps western wales and in towards the south—west of england. but most places should be dry. temperatures reaching 10 degrees, belfast, plymouth, but still single values elsewhere. now, into thursday, subtle change as this area of low pressure, this weather front just wriggles a bit further eastwards. so it could introduce outbreaks of rain through thursday to western parts of england, wales, northern ireland, perhaps into south—west scotland too. could see just one or two showers moving up the east coast affecting the north—east of scotland. these will be wintry on the high ground. it's going to be abreezy day with the wind blowing up
5:57 am
from the south—east. again, temperatures reaching double figures across the south, maybe 11 or 12 in plymouth. single—figure values elsewhere will remain fairly chilly and dry and bright with some sunshine. as we head into the latter part of the week into the weekend, another area of low pressure skirts by southern parts of britain, heads on into the central mediterranean, but another low—pressure system will push into western parts of the country through the weekend, perhaps into the start of next week, bringing very mild air to our shores but also could push some rainfall across more central and eastern parts of the country as well, so turning a bit more unsettled into the weekend.
