hundreds of millions of dollars on the reconstruction of roads, bridges, critical infrastructure and public housing. the financial times focuses on tra ns—atla ntic trade tensions. france's finance minister has written to the us trade representative, warning the eu will hit back if america imposes new sanctions in response to the french digital services tax. the new york times reports on troubles facing boeing as it tries to get its 737 max back in the air. the paper says there are new problems with the plane that go beyond the software issues that played a role in two deadly crashes. and finally — it's been a good night for the brits at the golden globe awards in los angeles. phoebe waller—bridge, sam mendes and olivia colman were among the winners flying the flag for the uk. so let's begin with the ongoing iran crisis. with me is lawrence gosling, editor—in—chief of what investment.

very interesting to get the gulf news prospect of on the iran deal. yes, the gulf news is saying that iran is moving further away from the common nuclear accord, talk about enriching more uranium which has the potential for that uranium to go into nuclear warheads, and again this part of the discussion has been going on pretty much since 2018 when president trump sort of withdrew the us from the nuclear accord, and of course iran has been steadily kind of pulling out of it itself. interesting, there is the gulf news report that iran is sort of saying, you know, it can stop pulling out of the agreement at any point. 0ffering a little olive branch on this particular issue. it is kind of a

bargaining chip is in it, that deal that was broken by the barack 0bama administration back in 2015, ever since trump pulled out of it in 2018 as you say, iran has, when things have gone in the direction they don't want to do, it says, 0k, that's it, we might start babbling here and there and start moving further and further away from the deal. absolutely, and as you say it isa bargaining deal. absolutely, and as you say it is a bargaining tool for iran in this case, and it is interesting again as the gulf news reports, the european countries that were part of this agreement are trying to pay the sort of middle ground here and get the two sides back together again, france, germany, the uk have been trying to do this for the past year 01’ so trying to do this for the past year or so unsuccessfully. how concerned are you about the situation in the middle east, given the assassination of soleimani, the general, and what that means? it is a good question. i think it is concerning but perhaps not as concerning, over the weekend

i think we heard headlines about world war three which i think is perhaps... just not the situation, but we have had middle east intentions, you can go back as far as the conflict in syria really, so you are talking six or seven years. always a backdrop that if you go back far enough to the early 1970s, these things are bubbling under, but has not developed into a serious war situation that basically most a nalysts a re situation that basically most analysts are saying, we're watching to see what iran's reaction will be, it will react does it look like, and what does that mean in terms of retaliation from the us, that is what we are waiting to see. and we heard about the nuclear agreement, edging out of it rather than an armed response. all the press in australia, as you would expect, dominated by the crisis there which is just... you can't dominated by the crisis there which isjust... you can't believe it really, as we watch what is

happening. scott morrison the prime minister to stump happening. scott morrison the prime ministerto stump up happening. scott morrison the prime minister to stump up millions for bushfire crisis, it is going to cost a fortune, he is talking about in this article where the money might, there is just so this article where the money might, there isjust so much this article where the money might, there is just so much to do. this article where the money might, there isjust so much to do. there is so much to do, they have already committed $100 million, i think it is australian dollars, a relatively small amount of money to families, you have businesses, obviously families, you have entire towns, wildlife, and as the australian points at one of the areas that is going to require a huge amount of compensation is the removal of carcasses of animals that have been killed. again the australian tries to put in some kind of context, that actually the disaster may be of a similar magnitude to the floods in queensland from last year, so again, whether this is directly related to climate change, we are seeing the climate, natural disasters

increasing, particularly u nfortu nately for increasing, particularly unfortunately for australia. the financial times, europe will get back a trumpeter punishes france for tax on big tax, wants paris — this ongoing war of words has been going ongoing war of words has been going on since they introduce the digital service tax at the end of last year. 0ur firewall they service tax at the end of last year. 0urfirewall they go is service tax at the end of last year. 0ur firewall they go is the question. it is fascinating because president trump said he will put a 100% tariff on french exports to the us, so things like champagne, which might sound trivial... cheese, foie gras... things might sound trivial... cheese, foie gras. .. things that are pivotal to the french economy. and there are things about whether companies like google or amazon pay a fair proportion of tax, clearly the french don't think so... other countries in europe by looking at a similar move as well. president trump says it is discriminating against us companies because a lot of them are currently american —based. the french sort of say that what it is talking about is going

through, it goes by world trade 0rganisation rules, this has been discussed by the 0ecd, so it is not just a french initiative, they have gone a bit ahead of the loop, they are suggesting to the americans that they wait and see what the wto and 0ecd... they wait and see what the wto and 0ecd. .. i think they wait and see what the wto and oecd. .. i think they have one judge at the moment, things are taking a little while. they take quite a long time. let's move to the new york times, it is notjust software is the headline, new safety risks under scrutiny on boeing's 737 max. will this play never return to the skies, you wonder. this is a fascinating story, what boeing did back in december, they did a whole audit on everything to do with the plane which you would expect, they found is, and is not unique to boeing planes, there are two packets of wires that control the tail of the aeroplane's direction. if they were to short—circuit, would that create another sort of disaster like that

one that boeing had. this is the issue that the new york times is highlighting, but is notjust boeing, is actually said by engineers they spoke to, fixing it ta kes engineers they spoke to, fixing it takes about 1— two hours, but like you say there are thousands of planes with this issue, so boeing will carry on struggling as a business for the next few months. will carry on struggling as a business for the next few monthsm is enormous story for boeing, a real crisis for them, but also for other companies who have ordered so many of these planes, thinking of ryanair for example, they have just got delay after delay. it is really impacting so many within the airline industry. it hits a lot of confidence in the airlines, and it damages those businesses potentially. the golden globes has been going on overnight in los angeles, and so many have won awards which is great, quite a few brits as well which is fantastic. what caught your eye? i smiled because fleabag, phoebe waller—bridge is...

your eye? i smiled because fleabag, phoebe waller-bridge is... have you seen it? it is 12 months and it was out in the uk, and the other irony is the 1917 film that sam mendes directed is not released in the uk until next week. i have seen trailers for it. it is something about the awards season, we are talking about a comedy, fleabag which has been added in the uk of january of last year, but has finally won a golden globe award, we are talking about a film that has one award that most of us are not even seen. one award that most of us are not even seen. 1917 looks like one of these all immersive films, that is these all immersive films, that is the whole point of it, the way they filmed it or sam mendes directed the filming is so immersive that you feel like you are there. that terrifies me to be honest. you have seen terrifies me to be honest. you have seen these extraordinary trailers of the two young soldiers in the trenches, which does bring back real horror of the moment. interesting that netflix got 3a nominations, which is quite something. i remember

rewinding a year ago, it had a nomination for best film which was really controversial at the time, and also it obviously got an oscar, but now it seems like it is just a given, certainly for the golden globes. absolutely... streaming services will dominate. no pun intended, netflix is now mainstream. the irishman is another great film, it is mainstream tv and film provider. thank you lawrence, it has been great having you. we have not had much time to mention your contributions but stephen says the one to watch for him was chernobyl, which also won an award, a historic documentary got a golden globe two. thank you for your comments. hello. red sky for some on sunday night

but not a huge amount of delight for the shepherds or indeed the rest of us for the weather over the next few days. quite a turbulent spell with the potential for disruption from notjust heavy rain at times but more especially or severe gales, particularly to the north and west. it will bring with it, during the next few days, some very mild conditions before things turn chillier later in the week. first spell of turbulent weather comes from this area of low pressure, it's to the south of iceland. heavy snow here. but gales and heavy rain push to the west of ireland by the end of the night. most, though into the morning rush hour, cloudy, a few spots of rain or drizzle and frost free. but through the morning rush hour itself, northern ireland, some heavy bursts of rain and gale force winds, spreading across scotland from mid—morning onwards. not too much rain in the east. as for wales and western england, it's really from lunchtime onwards we will see that heavy rain before sunshine returns to the west later on. it's to the north and west where we'll see the strongest of the winds, potential for gales, maybe 50 mile—per—hour gusts or more for some. not quite as windy for east anglia and the south—east. but the breeze will pick up by the end of the afternoon and into the evening rush hour we will see this band of narrower

but quite heavy rain spread its way eastwards. it does mean we finish the day in south—west england, wales, and northern england with a greater potential for some sunshine. a few showers in northern england, and we'll see a few showers in northern scotland, northern ireland, maybe wintry over the tops of the scottish mountains. and temperatures drop away a little bit through the afternoon but not as windy for the evening rush hour as it will have been for the morning one. and then as we go into the evening, that rain spreads across east anglia and the south—east, clear skies for a time, a brief dip in temperature. could rule out a touch of frost and there but temperatures rise later as more wet and windy weather spreads its way in from the west. and that's this area of low pressure. our next one, which is a deeper bigger area of low pressure, that means the winds are stronger, extent further away from the centre, which will still be around iceland, producing snow here, but for us dragging in exceptionally mild airfrom the mid atlantic, rocketing temperatures from what will have been a chilly start for some in the south—east. here though it should stay dry and bright through much of the day. it's northern england, scotland, northern ireland, outbreaks of rain at times, the biggest disruption could come from the winds. widespread gales, strongest the winds north and west of scotland, 75—80 mile—per—hour gusts not out of the question.

those winds coming over from the mid atlantic and will bring some exceptionally mild weather to the north—east of higher ground, so north—east wales, the north of northern ireland, and to the north—east of scotland we could see 15—16 degrees. that milder air swept away as we go through the night and into wednesday morning. a chillier start on wednesday morning with a touch of frost around. rain returns from the south—west later. more wet and windy weather around on thursday before a quieter end but a colder end to the week.
