where adolf hitler was born and spent the first few months of his life will be turned into a police station to deter neo—nazi tourism. with me is mark davies, managing director at camberton, a strategic communications consultancy. welcome to you and good morning. many of these newspapers could do with your help, i think. let's start with your help, i think. let's start with a debate last night. what did you make of it? the polls show a small advantage for boris johnson. 51-49 this small advantage for boris johnson. 51—49 this morning but did not tell us 51—49 this morning but did not tell us anything we did not know already. lynton crosby, who has advised on many campaigns for the conservative party has a phrase that you cannot fatten a pig on market day and we are getting very close to market day. and i think what people know is that people have already made up their minds on what they think of
5:46 am
these two leaders. yesterday should not change any of that. you said three weeks to go, the last election, two years ago, it shifted in the last three weeks, largely due to an awful manifesto from the conservatives. so there is still something to play for, even though jeremy corbyn is really not doing well in the polls. yes. and to the extent that boris johnson got through yesterday without a big problem, he will be happy about that. he has gotten through unscathed when you talk about theresa may a few years ago, the issue was that he made some horrendous mistakes. not just issue was that he made some horrendous mistakes. notjust when the manifesto came out was a strange policy but then she changed the policy but then she changed the policy and insisted she did not change it. the polls shifted as a result of an error that the front runner made. in this case, boris johnson is a long way ahead in the polls at the moment. he has a 17 point lead in some polls and as a result, 45—28 in one poll. as a
5:47 am
result, 45—28 in one poll. as a result, he's just trying result, 45—28 in one poll. as a result, he'sjust trying not result, 45—28 in one poll. as a result, he's just trying not to result, 45—28 in one poll. as a result, he'sjust trying not to make a mistake and he did not make one last night. he got away with small pole lead. what struck me watching it is that it is again more politicians not answering questions put to them. there was a great deal escape this is from the audience with a lot of chuckling and laughter. that was the most telling moment, when the audience laughed in both cases. they love tojeremy corbyn for his brexit policy and borisjohnson when he was asked about trust. so... there were a couple of telling moments but on the holy did not tell us anything we did not really know already. meanwhile, during the debate the tory party changed their press twitter account to look like it was a fact checking. it was called fact check uk. what we re it was called fact check uk. what were they thinking?! it was called fact check uk. what were they thinking? !|j it was called fact check uk. what were they thinking?! i think they wa nted were they thinking?! i think they wanted people to look at their feet that extent they succeeded because they had people talking about it a great deal. many people are changing
5:48 am
the handles yesterday. alistair campbell changed his the boris johnson at one point and began tweeting as if he were the prime minister. i saw people saying that this was classic dominic cummings and the senior adviser to boris johnson, it was a talking point. and to that extent it succeeded. people got quite railed by it but, again, it has just hardened the camps we have already. it is not changed any views. those for boris johnson have already. it is not changed any views. those for borisjohnson will come out of it saying it was a bit of fun come out of it saying it was a bit offun and come out of it saying it was a bit of fun and those against will say it is disastrous and you cannot do something so dishonest. i don't know if it will move the dial. twitter we re if it will move the dial. twitter were not happy about it and i'm sure they will not do that again. let's talk about prince andrew now. because his pitch to the palace, the business opportunity that businesses have to get funding, they have been abandoned now by another firm. after
5:49 am
kpmg. both seders for commercial reasons. what do we think of what is going to happen now to him? what is the impact from the fallout of this interview? prince andrew and prince andrew as patron to 200 charities including those for young children. he is the patron of the english national valet and all of these organisations are trying to distance themselves from him. it is open season distance themselves from him. it is open season on him. in the telegraph today there are four stories about him and in the times there are three stories. and it is going to run and run. i think the best advice that anyone can give prince andrew at the moment is go give evidence to the fbi and then keep a very low profile because there is no way he can stay within the public eye at the moment
5:50 am
and do anything other than have arrows pointed in his direction. i think he needs to keep as low a profile as possible. whether he does that indefinitely or not remains to be seen but i think he has an awful lot of ties that he would have to cut to withdraw from public life com pletely cut to withdraw from public life completely and i cannot see that happening. he cancelled a planned visit to yorkshire as that was deemed inappropriate during an election campaign. the leaders in the tv debate last night were asked about it and whether he is fit for purpose. that is a question that will not go away. will it be difficult because he has ties in support so many charities? ultimately, even if his brand is now toxic, depending on whether or not he gives evidence in the us, is he ultimately more of a force for good in that his name can give good exposure to those charities who desperately need that help?m definitely can. i was a trustee of a charity that had a royal patron and makes a real difference. over the
5:51 am
years, it is interesting how the perception of prince andrew has changed. back in the day he was the playboy prince, the one everyone loved. he had a similar public profile to prince harry today. it is easier when you're second rather first in line to the phone. the arrows used to go to his brother and things have changed dramatically because of his association with an asphalt moving on now to the story about the company that makes e cigarettes. there is a court case against them in the united states. the attorney general alleges they miss lead consumers through deceptive advertising using attractive young models to appeal to minors. isn't that what advertising is? this i think this is actually more of a story about the investment in vaping. philip morris, which has changed its name but it owns the lug —— largest cigarette brands in the world and has the largest share in
5:52 am
tobacco than the next seven below it. they took a 35% stake in this business which is only four years old, at the end of last year. it doubled the valuation that the business had had only six months earlier stop and it was a reasonably large bet that people are moving towards vaping. now what the attorney general in new york is saying is that people should not. the question is is it better to be smoking or vaping? there is a lot of talk about whether people have been misled on the nicotine content. i am not a smoker but my understanding of cigarettes is that it is not the nicotine that does you no harm, nicotine that does you no harm, nicotine causes the addiction but it is the tobacco and the smoke that does the harm. people will have a view either way. as time progresses it will become clear and with medical test, whether or not they do have an impact on health. quickly moving on because there are still a few more to go. tell us about this.
5:53 am
the new technology unlocking new technology. this could be massive in terms of decarbonise in the world. this is a triumph of pr. this is all over every media outlet but basically it is not new technology, it is solar power, directing the solar power with mirrors on to a specific point. but this is a press release issued by a start—up company that has managed to double the temperature of concentration of the sun ‘s rays but, ultimately, it is a press release and it has been picked up press release and it has been picked up almost word for word across the entire media outlet, basically on the back of the fact that bill gates is an investor and his quote isjust one that is on the website. well done to them them. they have everyone's attention. now, this story, turning hitler's births —— birthplace into a police station. how this is still standing after all this time! clearly it is somewhere
5:54 am
that neo—nazis will go and visit and try to make a thing. i am amazed that it try to make a thing. i am amazed thatitis try to make a thing. i am amazed that it is yet to be destroyed. it is going to be used as a police station and the fact that it appears in the newspaperjust draws attention to it. interestingly, it does not say where it is. and, yeah,... the fact does not say where it is. and, yeah, . .. the fact that does not say where it is. and, yeah,... the fact that it is still standing is extraordinary. and the full report they are turning it into a regional police headquarters to the turn neo—nazis, that is a little questionable. thank you so much for taking us through the newspapers today. stay with us, much more to come for you and i will be back in a few moments.
5:55 am
hello there. it was a very cold start to tuesday — widespread frost up and down the country, particularly across scotland, the far north of england. now, for this morning, it's not going to be quite as cold to start. that's because we've had more of a breeze, and variable amounts of cloud too. there's still a few chilly spots across the north—east of the country, where a few clear spells linger. but further west, we'll have more of a breeze, and these weather fronts bringing thicker cloud, outbreaks of rain affecting parts of south—west england through the day, maybe western wales, along some irish sea coasts, northern ireland, and affecting western scotland at times. there could just be the odd shower, as well, running into the eastern coast of england, perhaps into north—east scotland, but most places will be dry. variable cloud, some spells of sunshine. again, another chilly day to come, maybe not quite as cold across western areas. more cloud here, ten or 11 degrees. now, as we head to wednesday night, it says mainly dry again for much of the country. variable cloud, quite a breeze
5:56 am
blowing, so it's not going to be quite as cold again, with lows down to 1—3 degrees. but generally, for many, fours and fives, and certainly a little bit milder than that further west, where we have the cloud and the rain. thursday, a similar picture. we'll continue with this weather front across western areas, bringing outbreaks of rain. the odd heavier burst towards the south—west, but generally light and patchy elsewhere. variable cloud, some sunny spells, and a bit more of that around on thursday. temperature—wise, again, single figures for most, but nines, maybe tens across the south. some subtle change as we head on into friday. looks like this weather front may push a little bit further northwards and eastwards across the country, so it could be a cloudier day still, with outbreaks of rain moving across northern england into parts of scotland. further south, we may see some sunshine developing, but a rush of heavier showers following on into friday afternoon and into the evening, particularly in the south—west. temperatures coming up on the south, as well. tens and 11 degrees quite widely. still a cooler feel across the north, but even here, eight and nines. then, as we head on into the weekend, looks like this area
5:57 am
of low pressure will skirt southern parts of the uk. the weather front may spread northwards, introducing a band of rain. and then we look to the west, this next area of low pressure, which could bring more widespread wetter and windier weather as we head through the latter part of the weekend into the start of next week. but you will notice the orange colour is really taking over, so it really will be quite mild as we end the week, although it will be turning more and more unsettled, with rain spreading to many areas. it will be quite windy as well. those temperatures reaching the low teens celsius, particularly across england and wales.
6:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. our headlines today: boris johnson and jeremy corbyn face a hostile audience in the first election debate as they're pushed on brexit, honesty and the nhs. full market access for us products to our national health service. you're going to sell our national health service out to the united states! mr corbyn is trying to conceal the void at the heart of his brexit policy, and refusing to answer the question of which side he would take. the conservative party's criticised after rebranding their twitter account during the debate to look like an independent fact—checking
