who you look at the number of people who are unaccounted for, this is someone‘s tweet, a viewer's tweet that we have retweeted, i am just trying to play it now, it doesn't seem to want to play, but this person was actually on the island 20 minutes before the eruption, and as he is leaving the island he was able to film the plume of smoke. you can see there, this is the gns science, you can see some of the ash clouds that are erupting their following this volcanic eruption thatjust happened hours ago, to 11pm this volcanic eruption thatjust happened hours ago, to ”pm local time, —— 2ii happened hours ago, to ”pm local time, —— 211 pm, and there was a live feed that showed tourists in the crater just before live feed that showed tourists in the craterjust before this happened and the worry is that it is too

dangerous for police and rescue services at the moment to even go to the island, so those who are still unaccounted for, unfortunately for them of course rescue services are unable to get there. this is a situation ongoing. jacinda ardernjust briefing the this is a situation ongoing. jacinda ardern just briefing the press there to say what the very latest is. they are taking advice from the emergency services to find out when it is safe to go back on the island. you can see there where it is. white island, just off the coast, north of new zealand. as was mentioned in that press c0 nfe re nce , zealand. as was mentioned in that press conference, they don't believe there will be any material reaching mainland new zealand. that is the very latest on that. for those of you who wanted your business briefing this morning, did for this breaking story we are keeping you across as it evolves and moves. let us pause on across as it evolves and moves. let us pause on the for the time being

and takea us pause on the for the time being and take a look at some of the stories the media is discussing today. we begin with the new york times, who focus on the pensacola naval base shooting, where a saudi officer in training opened fire on his class mates and killed three people. the paper criticises president trump's response after he stamped down on any suggestion that the saudi government needed to be held to account. the times looks ahead to this week's uk general election. prime minister boris johnson will spend the final 72 hours of the election campaign on a tour of marginal seats in labour's heartlands as he returns to the core messages of the vote leave campaign on migration and brexit. meanwhile, the guardian says labour leaderjeremy corbyn will promise britain's jaded voters that a labour government would put "money in your pocket", as his party makes a last—ditch push to deprive borisjohnson of a majority in thursday's general election. the ft reports beijing has ordered all government offices and public bodies to remove foreign computer equipment and software within three years, in a potential blow to the likes of companies such

as hp, dell and microsoft. and it used to be a selection of toiletries and the occasional bathrobe that hotel guests would take home. now, according to the times, people are stealing the very mattress they slept on. a survey of hoteliers has found that the removal of luxury mattresses is a growing problem, particularly in five star hotels. a p pa re ntly apparently coffee makers get taken and all sorts. televisions are taken. i won't feel bad next time a walkout a little bottle of shampoo. jonathan charles is back with us. managing director of communications at the european bank for reconstruction and development. let us look at the new york times story. looking at donald trump's

reaction to what happened in the training camp in pensacola. three very young officers shot dead. this isa very young officers shot dead. this is a very interesting story. terrible story down in pensacola, a saudi air force officer, he was being trained there, seems to have open fire on his classmates. what did president trump say? according to the new york times, their view is he was far too quick to take saudi's side, to try to protect saudi arabia without knowing enough about what had happened. so why did he do that? that is the question the new york times is trying to answer. they say that obviously saudi arabia and president trump have had a very close relationship, it's about oil, even though the us imports far less oil than it used to because of now shale oil and gas, but they are still close to saudi arabia and he wa nts to still close to saudi arabia and he wants to protect that. and of course they are the only regional power able to counter what iran is doing in the region as well. many reasons, they think, why president trump's first instinct was to rally around

the saudis rather than to use the word tarell. we never use the word this is a terrorist incident. which the fbi is now saying it is. —— terra. why is the us still training members of the saudi military, when they are headed to a situation in yemen, they are dropping munitions that maximise civilian casualties in yemen, saudi arabia still involved in this war... it is an interesting point. at the us is training these young saudi military personnel. point. at the us is training these young saudi military personnelm isa young saudi military personnelm is a very interesting point that they picked up on. congress is trying very hard to try to prevent the united states getting further immersed with the saudis during the yemen campaign, but actually president trump is quite keen on aiding the saudis in this because, again, it is a proxy fight in the region with iran and others. it really begs many questions, what they're really begs many questions, what they‘ re really really begs many questions, what they're really pointing out his president trump as a maverick, he ta kes

president trump as a maverick, he takes his own decisions. we know that, only too well. every time he tweets. absolutely. we have the times, the guardian, both looking at what the two main parties are up to this week. thursday... the final offensive. we all had to the polls on thursday. the times looking at johnson trying to blitz the labour heartlands. again showing how important those potential labour seeds are, this is that the conservatives really need to take if they are to win a majority in this election. borisjohnson they are to win a majority in this election. boris johnson comments they are to win a majority in this election. borisjohnson comments as enzymes, will be focusing on those key marginals, hoping to see the rate being, the phrases they want to hear and repeating, as he has done all the way through the campaign, the well—known phrase "get brexit done". and a lot of the marginal constituencies, they voted to leave. and yes they did. that is why he feels it is so important if he can windows over, this so—called redwall, he feels he can get a majority. polls on average giving him abouta

majority. polls on average giving him about a ten point lead, a 10% lead on labour. but nothing can be taken for granted. the guardian talks about a blizzard of announcements that have come from the labour government during the last six weeks. labour will now focus on the nhs and how much money, how much better off voters will be if they vote labour. it is very interesting. he too has to focus, jeremy corbyn, on these constituencies which are very marginaland constituencies which are very marginal and could vote conservative. they have their own message, which i thinkers through. you can certainly say that boris johnson's it brexit done is having an impact in some constituencies, but so is jeremy corbyn‘s an impact in some constituencies, but so isjeremy corbyn‘s message on the national health service. that is equally cutting through. it is saying that they have noticed in the past few days, the labour party, spontaneously on the doorstep people are raising the issue with labour candidates about the national health service possibly risking being sold off to american corporations. this worry if there is a trade deal with america the us will want something to do with the national health

service. both messages clearly cutting through. talking of trade deals, the us not getting a deal brokered with china. this is an interesting story on the front page of the financial times, looking at how china now, they have evidence to show, they are ordering government departments, et cetera, to say, right, all foreign computer stuff and software has got to be gone by 2022. this is a fascinating story, because as far as we can see, beijing ordering all government offices to doing this is a mirror of what the us seem to have been doing, saying we will not import chinese softwa re saying we will not import chinese software or hardware. they are saying 50% will be replaced in 2021, down to 20% in 2021 and 22. this will be gone within three years of. this is china reducing its reliance on technology from foreign governments. we have seen her, i notice when they go to china, using more more chinese technology in officers, lenovo and other

companies. they are going to say it doesn't really matter where we get to on doesn't really matter where we get toona doesn't really matter where we get to on a trade deal, we're going to have more of our homegrown industries. how do you get a mattress of your hotel room without. .. mattress of your hotel room without... you make it sound like they have tried! i've found is absolutely fascinating for. story. mattresses a new target for hotel bill for us. we used to be toiletries. people trying to get the mattresses down the left to the car park are. you have a mattress out of your boot. trying to distract the hotel body, nothing to see stop in italy, someone took a grand piano from a lobby. it is a hollywood movie in the making. thank you so much for being with us. thank you for your company. good day.

hello there. it's still windy out there. the winds have been howling in some parts of the country, and over the next few days, it's all about wind and rain. we'll have some heavy rain or heavy showers, combined with some gales or severe gales. it's probably the strength of the wind that will have the biggest impacts, mind you. but over the past few hours, we've seen a lot of showers packing in from the west — really squally showers, as well. the main focus of the wetter and certainly windier weather is more towards the south—west of england and into the south and west of wales. this of course is due to storm aliyah, and we've already had gusts of 70 mph along the south coast of wales and into cornwall. that's combined with some big waves, as well. the rain should tend to ease off into the morning, mind you. by then, the winds more of a northerly, and that will drag down some colder air across the uk, and it's quite windy for many areas still by the morning time. now, through monday, we'll start to see some changes, because this ridge of high pressure will just topple across from the atlantic, and it will push the strongest of the winds over towards the north sea and kill off a lot of the showers.

but it'll be windy for a good part of the day down those north sea coasts, and feeling cold with those showers in the morning in particular. a few showers out west filtering through the irish sea into north wales, but a lot of the showers fade away during the afternoon, and many places will be dry and quite sunny. will be a windy day, but gradually the winds ease a bit, probably, though, feeling a bit colder than it did on sunday. and with the winds continuing to ease in the evening, there may be a touch of frost for a while for the eastern side of the uk, before the winds pick up again overnight, drag in some milder air, and these weather fronts are on the way. and that means for tuesday, we've got cloud, we've got outbreaks of rain, quite a few bands of rain pushing their way eastwards. it's the last one, though, that will see the heaviest of the rain, and some particularly squally winds out there as well. it will be a windy day everywhere. it's going to be a mild one, temperatures typically in double figures. that mild, wet, windy weather then gets swept down towards the south—east on tuesday evening, out of the way by wednesday. we're all into some chillier air, the low pressure still sitting to the north—west of the uk. maybe some gales in the north—west of scotland. 0therwise, wednesday not as windy. it's a day of sunshine and showers,

some of them heavy, with hail and thunder, and over northern hills there could be even a bit of snow as well. it's quite a chilly day, and those temperatures are only typically six or seven degrees. a bit more uncertainty as we head later on in the week. could be another area of low pressure bringing some more strong winds, likely to bring some rain, particularly on thursday, some snow over the hills in scotland. then it gradually becomes a bit drier during friday, but probably still rather windy.
