obviously you can't see that. that was meant to be bbc sport on the man u story. with me is james hughes, chief market analyst at scope markets. are you fan? no. who do you support? tottenham hotspur. that is allowed. if we look at these side—by—side, it is illustrating a point, isn't it? the historic peace plan president donald trump as announced with the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and prime minister, benjamin neta nyahu, and yet prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and yet the palestinians are not on board. not in anyway. the quote from mahmood abbas, the palestinian president, is 1000 noes. the jerusalem—based newspaper here with a list of arab nations who

are supporting the deal, and the article reads as almost that list with at the end something about turkey saying not with the plan. it has got egypt, saudi arabia, qatar saying there is support but in the gulf news, the palestinians saying they are completely against any sort of plan. a historic announcement, not the first time we have seen an announcement about a potential peace between israel and palestine and not the first time we've seen them not agree. that's the point, it is just an announcement, whether anything will change... if anything, could this lead to things getting worse? absolutely, and this is the problem donald trump opens himself up to, yes, he comes out standing next to benjamin netanyahu he comes out standing next to benjamin neta nyahu with he comes out standing next to benjamin netanyahu with this big proposal, but you can't announce a peace plan when one side of the deal is completely opposed to it. absolutely. more detail on that complicated and

complex story on our website with analysis too. let's have a look bloomberg, which is trying to assess what the implications are of coronavirus as it seems to spread. we heard early in the programme of various countries getting people home et cetera. the controversial move on the part of australia, saying they are going to put the people who come back on christmas island for a couple of weeks. i travelled back from davos and i was full of a raging cold and respiratory problems and i thought i might get hauled into a room at heathrow and assessed. it has huge implications for so many companies. yes, for many companies. the story talks about starbucks closing... they have 4000 stores in mainland china and having to close some. we've spoken about apple having tempered back their outlook on a lot of these situations. even looking at the markets as a

whole, there is almost a jittery feel about currency markets and global indices. at the start of the week we saw the start of the week we saw the dowjones fall off around 400 points also, recovered a bit yesterday, but there's almost this nervousness surrounding the coronavirus and when you look at the headlines are talking about why markets are talking about why markets are moving, and it's not like we don't have other stories dominating. we are in the midst of earnings season in the us and brexit this q. week, which is key in the uk, but the markets are nervous. we are looking at safe havens around various markets and gold prices and various currencies, but a lot of businesses are worried. it's interesting, you mention starbucks, this article looks at it closing a few stores, but it looks at mcdonald's and dominoes are more exposed than starbucks. carnival cruises have suspended nine voyages leaving china and facebook has

said employees are not allowed to travel to china. there's travel restrictions in place and i'm sure many companies are doing that. absolutely, they are. this is something... with the coronavirus being such an unknown quantity at the moment, a lot of this precaution will lead to businesses losing money. absolutely, we will cook, keep a close eye on how that develops. the financial times, this is on many front pages. uk gives a limited role to huawei the sg gives a limited role to huawei the 5g network. the uk government allowing huawei into an extent. this is interesting because the headlines are deceptive. the us banned huawei from any involvement in their uk networks and the uk was a lwa ys uk networks and the uk was always going to have a decision. part of the decision and part of the reason this is such a big story is the fact the uk would have to renegotiate a trade deal and

there's a feeling of the uk not wanting to upset the us with any trade deal being part of it. they have allowed a 35% market share of this 5g network. what isn't reported is huawei have a 34% in networks in the uk. they are providing sg in the uk. they are providing 5g in various parts of the country, cities like birmingham. absolutely. this isn't a complete and utter disregard of what the us is saying and that the uk is going toa saying and that the uk is going to a completely different direction to previous, this is a slight increase in the share previously but there is an importance to get this 5g network up and running and running quickly without this delaying it. we wonder what this means for future negotiations between the uk and the us when it comes to trade, i've just the us when it comes to trade, i'vejust come the us when it comes to trade, i've just come right from the world economic forum and i was there with steven mnuchin, the us secretary, treasury secretary, speaking to sajid javid, the treasurer, with a

panel and they were arguing about the digital services tax and that comes in in april here. you didn't get the feeling it was a love language and it doesn't seem like it's going well right now. and there has to be because borisjohnson has to be because borisjohnson has almost hinged his election promise on getting brexit done but also negotiating these enormous trade deals with world partners, and the us is the most important. he is saying we wa nt to most important. he is saying we want to be first in the queue and we want to talk to you before the european union... very complicated. we will see. talking of complicated and brexit, the irish times has on its front page ministers to be warned uk trade faces considerable disruption. these are the practicalities of leaving. this isn't something we didn't know. all of a sudden we didn't know. all of a sudden we are seeing ministers saying , " we are seeing ministers saying," even if you don't get a trade deal..." saying," even if you don't get a trade deal. by the end of

2020? which nobody expects anyway, because if we go on... government expects they will get a clean deal! apologies for being sceptical, but past experience tells you this will be longer than predicted! nobody thought they would be no disruption. if there's any minister or any government official thinking that post—this week or post—the end of december this year, we will see no disruption to any sort of trade, that's incredibly naive. i'm sure nobody think that. that's the front page of the irish times, you're saying it's a nonstory so let's move on! let's talk about... i'm going to skip apple because we talked about it already, i talked about it already, i talked about it already, i talked about it at length in the business briefing, so on to man united and ed woodward's home. graffiti, trash, what's going on? it's interesting, manchester united, ever since

alex ferguson left, one of the most successful managers of all time, world—renowned, ever since he left, after about 20 odd years, they've been a downwards tomorrow and they've not performed at their best. but ed woodward, in charge of tra nsfers, but ed woodward, in charge of transfers, bringing in new players, he has been blamed for their slump. the recruitment isn't good enough is what the fa ns isn't good enough is what the fans think. a group outside his home chanting he was going to die. it is fair enough to say i feel like they are underperforming and maybe this quy underperforming and maybe this guy is responsible, but that is one thing, but to graffiti the home! where is this taking the beautiful game? there is a lot of mindless morons who end up within football doing these things. this isn't the first things. this isn't the first thing we have seen this kind of thing we have seen this kind of thing in english football and it won't be the last thing we see it with something like this. unfortunately within

football, you get this kind of thing, and when somebody becomes a scapegoat, which of course ed woodward is, it's not his fault they're not performing on the pitch, but fa ns ve nt performing on the pitch, but fans vent their anger. what the clu b fans vent their anger. what the club is saying is they will find anyone who is found guilty and ban them for life and there will be police investigations, which is quite right. married with two young kids, none of them were home fortunately, so they didn't witness any of that. thanks for coming in, james, great to have you on the briefing. thanks for your comments about apple. so many of you are angry about apple and how much money they are making, some of you talked about tax and other issues. good to hear your comments. have a good day and i'll see you soon. hello there. temperatures are set to climb

over the next few days, after what has been for some of us a brief taste of winter. there's still enough snow and indeed moisture lying on the ground to give the potentialfor some icy stretches through wednesday morning, which could cause some travel problems. temperatures as we start the day around about freezing, dropping below freezing across parts of scotland. probably not quite as cold as it was on tuesday morning, but still cold enough for some frost and some ice. we start wednesday under the influence of a weak ridge of high pressure, so there will be some dry weather around. this frontal system, though, will introduce rain into the northern half of the uk as we go through the day. in fact, northern england, northern ireland and scotland, we'll start off with some showers. still wintry over the highest ground here, and then the wet weather works its way in, scraping across the north of northern ireland, working into a good part of scotland, with some snow over high ground. in fact, before the day is done, parts of highland scotland could see a further 10cm of snow. perhaps something a little bit brighter across the far north of scotland.

some very heavy rain developing across central and southern parts of scotland, and it will be quite windy here. some rain into northern ireland at times, certainly some of that rain getting down into northern england. more cloud into wales in the south—west, producing maybe the odd spot of rain and drizzle. but further east, through the east midlands, east anglia, the south—east, holding onto some sunshine. and it's going to be milder than it has been. highs of ten or 11 degrees. now, as we go through wednesday night, this rain will pull its way northwards across scotland. further south, a lot of dry weather, yes, but an awful lot of cloud to roll its way in. could turn a little bit murky in places, damp and drizzly, but much, much milder. those are the temperatures as we start thursday morning. a bit of rain into the far south—west as well, you will notice, but all of that cloud coming up from the south—west. very moist and very mild airflow. see these orange colours

spreading right across the chart, pushing the cold air away. so, as we go through thursday, rain moving across scotland, some of it heavy, with some brisk winds. down towards the south, we keep a lot of cloud, the odd spot of drizzle, some slightly more persistent rain perhaps for a time for the far south of england and the channel islands. but look at the afternoon temperatures — double digits for most of us. 10 degrees in glasgow, 12, 13 easily down towards the south. as we going into friday, we could see some outbreaks of rain pushing south—eastwards, and some more rain later in the day as well into the north—west of scotland. it is another mild day, particularly down towards the south. it may be that temperatures drop a little bit in northern areas later in the day.

good morning. welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: after years of delays and cancellations, a decision is expected today over the future of the northern railfranchise. we're at stations across the north of england throughout the morning. more than 130 people are known to have died from the coronavirus in china as the uk makes plans to evacuate nationals from the province at the centre of the outbreak. reports that prince andrew rejects claims of zero cooperation with the fbi over its inquiry into convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein, saying he's not been approached.
