such moving scenes yesterday at auschwitz, the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the camp, and what struck me is the strength of character of those survivors to go back to the very place where they faced such awful treatment and stared death in the face. it is beholden to all of us to remember at this point, where we have been through such a political upheaval in the last couple of years with the rise of anti—semitism and the rise of extremism across europe that there are people who are still alive who suffered this terrible fate. what yesterday wasn't for me and for a lot of the newspaper is as well was a moment of reflection. what's happened in the last 75 years and what's our responsibility now as a society to move forward and remember that there's something very

important about humanity and trusting other people and being with other people. it's incredibly important we remember these things. the ages of the survivors, it's now getting to a stage where there won't be many big anniversaries where they are still around to remind people of what happened. i wonder how we make sure people don't forget? this is the headline in the guardian, the population is ageing and these people will not be with us u nfortu nately for people will not be with us unfortunately for much longer. if you want to look for a role model, it is to look to germany. the pressure in germany and the press news in germany over the last week or $0 news in germany over the last week or so has been the modern generation of politicians is honoured to be speaking at these memorial events. it is bedded into german society that something terrible happened and germany has to live with the consequences and that's the attitude

towards europe. it's incredibly important that we use this anniversary in what we are as human beings and what our role is on the planet. let's turn to the front page of the financial times. with the coronavirus outbreak, there's the human cost. in the last few hours we have heard the death toll in china has exceeded 100 people. there's also the economic effect. that reach of the economic effect could be far and wide. absolutely. the big market concern at the moment is there was a bit of over exuberance towards the end of last year and there was a huge relief a phase one radial had been signed at the beginning of this year, and there a fragile truce in markets where there is a sense that maybe everything will be all right this year and what coronavirus has done is it has said actually this is

pretty fragile and the economy isn't doing well, reporting lower growth, and people are being stopped from going back to work after the chinese new year. chinese new year has had an impact because it hasn't been on the scale it normally is, so that has an economic impact in china, and then there's the issue of not returning to work, which could create a manufacturing slowdown, which then dampens exports. markets are nervous if this grows exponentially, and it looks like it may, that will have an impact on already fragile emerging markets. may, that will have an impact on already fragile emerging marketsm is easy for people to think, "well, we're not there, it doesn't affect us", we're not there, it doesn't affect us", but the reality is, the way the world isjoined us", but the reality is, the way the world is joined up, us", but the reality is, the way the world isjoined up, people's pensions and savings will be invested in travel firms and luxury goods firms, all who have had a hit to their share price as a result. absolutely and this is the big

concern, why would markets react when there is a flu outbreak? the reason why is the whole world is so interconnected now. it is trivial to say but it is so global now and interconnected that we can't ignore these things because they might impact. let's look at the daily telegraph, the irish prime minister, the taoiseach, saying britain is now a small country. i know coastal erosion is a country but i don't think it has shrunk that much... he isn't talking physically. it's interesting, we ran a survey at the beginning of the year about the future for the uk. 0ne beginning of the year about the future for the uk. one thing we came out with was the british public is aware of the fact we aren't dominating... we aren't a superpower, we dominating... we aren't a superpower, we are dominating... we aren't a superpower, we are medium—sized with substantial influence. that is what we will see in the coming months, a lot of dating of the british. there's a very real point behind

this. we need to know we are carving oui’ this. we need to know we are carving our own way and this. we need to know we are carving oui’ own way and we this. we need to know we are carving our own way and we need a strategic vision. this is something the papers are keen to talk about. what is britain going to look like?m are keen to talk about. what is britain going to look like? it is interesting, trying to capture the mentality of a nation. not easy. that is what needs to underpin all these talks. we need to give access to fishing waters if the city has access to european markets. it trivialises the debate to headlines. what politicians need to do in the uk is take it off the front pages. sorry to sound dull, but it needs to be in the business pages because a lot of this is very technical and people aren't interested in it. they just want to see a future.

interesting you talk about the survey you did, a lot of people say it's been around a long time, what a lot of people do, they get to the stage where they want to downsize and that is what britain wants to do! the front page of the times now. are female staff alienate it by sport court at work? in some workplaces it will be women talking about sport and is it as cut and dry as they are making it out? you are talking to the wrong woman because i have spent the last three days watching cricket. i love football and cricket but i think women's sport, women's and women's cricket has done a huge amount for sport generally. in a sense this is more about work place manners. i know when i start obsessively talking about cricket or var rules or something like that, i need to stop if i'm alienating someone and it alienates men and women. if you're obsessively interested in a music group, cricket or football or

something, you need to stop if the person you're talking to isn't interested. it's more about the workplace dynamic and what's a cce pta ble workplace dynamic and what's acceptable in terms of language. sport is very alienating because if you don't know the offside rule or you don't know the offside rule or you don't know what lbw means... 0r what silly point is or something, then you will be alienated because it's a different language. this is about workplace manners. it's a different language. this is about workplace mannerslj it's a different language. this is about workplace manners. i am jotting these down to go and look them up! there you go! joking aside, it has a knock—on effect, because if people establish relationships over something like sport, that is maybe affected with promotions and pay rises and pay awards. again, we have to be able to talk about something in the workplace. if i insist on talking about certain things, it is my responsibility to stop and it is something my workplace managers could say, could you talk about

something different? we know you are a great person but could you stop talking about football all the time? that is where the conversation needs to go because it doesn'tjust alienate women, it is everybody. sometimes i get accused of being a pedant and i'm in good company because sir philip pullman has spoken out about the brexit 50p covered on the bbc news website and the missing,... 0r covered on the bbc news website and the missing,... or is it? i'm not a grammatical expert, but the oxford ‘comma', as far as i'm aware, is to create a separation between what went before and what went after. it can be used correctly if you want to separate out a particular point. the point here is about peace, prosperity... if there were an 0xford man three there it would say and prosperity, so it would create a degree of emphasis —— if there were

an oxford ‘comma'. it is neither correct or incorrect. it is to create a separation between what went before and what comes after, surely on a bricks brexit coin, that is the ideal place, before and after! i will stick to the grammar! there was a meme doing the rounds, don't forget the importance of punctuation because there's less seed grandma and let's eat, grandma. absolutely! thanks for going through those stories and analysing them for us “— those stories and analysing them for us —— let's eat grandma. stay with us on us —— let's eat grandma. stay with us on bbc news. plenty more to come through the day. see you soon.

hello there. if you're travelling through the first part of the morning, bear in mind wintry weather could cause one or two problems — a combination of snow and ice from wintry showers that have been falling over recent hours, particularly across the north and the west of the uk. your bbc local radio station will of course keep you up—to—date with travel updates where you are. more of those wintry showers to come, then, through the first part of the day, and some more persistent snowfall for some parts of southern and eastern scotland, and not only over the highest hills. so through the morning, showers continue to pass across the south—west of england, giving a covering of snow over some of the highest ground of dartmoor and bodmin moor, and also for wales, snow mixing in over the hills and mountains. a bit of snow over high ground in northern england, maybe some to lower levels, certainly some icy stretches here. it's a similar story for northern ireland and for scotland. through the central belt, for example, there could be a covering of snow at quite low levels. 0ver high ground, we could see 10 cm

of snow or more lying by this stage. so yes, could be a little bit tricky out there on some of the roads and pavements. as we go through the day, it's a mixture of sunshine and showers. much of the wintriness becoming increasingly confined to higher ground. but more like rain at low levels, i think, through the afternoon. eastern areas not seeing as many showers. there will be some sunshine, but it's going to be windy, and it's going to be feel cold. your thermometer will read between four and eight degrees. but when we factor in the strength of that wind, particularly brisk across southern areas, well, this is what it's going to feel like. it'll feel like it's barely got above freezing. now, as we go through the night, we will continue to see some showers, especially across northern and western areas. i think the snow will continue to pile up across high ground in the north and the west of scotland. not as many showers by the end of the night down towards the south and the east, and your overnight lows between one and four degrees. it is another rather chilly night,

so there could be some icy stretches around again on wednesday morning. now, for wednesday, this little bump in the isobars here, this is a ridge of high pressure trying to settle things down. it'll be a drier day for many of us, but this frontal system bringing some outbreaks of rain into scotland. you can see the cloud and rain gathering out west, sliding its way in. some really heavy and persistent rain, actually, for some of the hills in the west. and inland over the mountains, yes, some further significant snowfall. further south, though, much of northern ireland, and certainly england and wales, it should be largely dry with some sunshine, turning a little bit milder by this stage. that's a process that continues as we head towards the end of the week, but with that, we will see some outbreaks of rain at times. that's all from me for now.
