and other environmentally friendly options for when they pass away. washington has recently became the first us state to legalise human composting, and funeral directors in the uk are reporting a surge in requests for green burials and other more sustainable alternatives to burial and cremation. with me is simoney kyriakou who is editor of the financial adviser. so the times. tough talk on trades as the french foreign minister. in other news, is the pope catholic, and if a tree falls in the woods does anyone here. anyone who thought it would be tea and crumpets is living in cuckoo land. negotiations would always be tough and as the secretary said every side will take the ha rd est every side will take the hardest possible negotiating point when it comes to trying to getan point when it comes to trying to get an agreement on the table. so of course it won't be

all tea and roses. that's how negotiations work, you set out where you would like to be but excepting you will have to move towards the middle. absolutely and has actually said there are two possible areas of attack, one on trade issues per se and another on measures for the future ongoing relationship. these two things he had will be quite tricky to negotiate. number ten have been very positive productive —— product so positive productive —— product so they are saying it will be fine and harmonious, we're not asking anything special or unique, says the country that has just unique, says the country that hasjust come unique, says the country that has just come out of the european union. it is an interesting take from number ten. the other line in the article, "british negotiators will make clear that london expects the same terms offered to other nations". yes indeed, they remove certain tariffs for canada and south korea and a couple of other countries as well, and the u.k.'s as well,

well, and the u.k.'s as well, we wa nt well, and the u.k.'s as well, we want to have those sort of offers given to us. —— the uk says as well. in the uk draft negotiating mandate those sort of tariff agreements are not there. so i think the uk is saying they want to be treated the same as other countries. treat us like canada. for anyone who is deeply interested in this, britton‘s chief negotiator on these talks will be outlining the future relationship with the eu vision later in brussels today. let's look at the new york times. the diamond princess, the cruise ship who has been in quarantine in yokohama because of coronavirus on board, the us has now flown its citizens home although they face another quarantine when they get back. they are even quarantined on the plane because some have tested positive, although they are asymptomatic at the moment, so are asymptomatic at the moment, so they are our project did section of this repurposed cargo plane. it sounds like the

stuff of nightmares, or a late—night horror show, one man is reported to have started all this off, an 80—year—old japanese man in february on the boat, and then suddenly itjust escalates with 355 confirmed coronavirus cases now on the ship, so the us has been accused of not moving quickly enough to pull its people back, and there are some american citizens who refused to leave the ship and in fact one lady, i think she must be my spirit animal, said "i would much rather remain until the quarantine is over and go home first class on united airlines than be stuck in a cargo ship". so...| than be stuck in a cargo ship". so... i had than be stuck in a cargo ship". so...|hada than be stuck in a cargo ship". so... i had a clip from another passenger saying that she was becoming increasingly worried about being on board the ship because in her view the quarantine process on board was not working because more and more people were catching the virus. 355 is a huge proportion in terms of the microcosm of

the ship, and you have recycled hour, people are living in windowless cabins where you would think germsjust windowless cabins where you would think germs just incubate all the time going through the air filtration system. so all the time going through the airfiltration system. so i can understand some people was macrolide in ‘s and one lady said she had had three different medical. as in the us urge her to leave and she refused to, it sounds like a nightmarish scenario, —— some people's reluctance. some people's reluctance. some people have been taken off to quarantine centres in china, it isa quarantine centres in china, it is a horrific situation for all the families involved. just underlines difficulty given that the global travelling nature of the world as it is now, of containing this and the effo rts now, of containing this and the efforts to try and stop it spreading, what they are coming up spreading, what they are coming up against. absolutely, and i think we saw an earlier report if you quarantine people in very enclosed spaces it can lead to even more out rates, it

can make everything worse, and perhaps people who are being tested but were not actually carrying the virus can perhaps get the virus or they can get it worse, and viruses of course do mutate, and environmental impacts do have, environment does have an impact on how viruses mutate and transfer to other people so it can be quite worrying. let's look at the guardian, and the death of the british tv presenter caroline flack and the reaction to this. a lot of criticism of the tabloid press but also people's behaviour and social media and how potentially all of that contributed to her taking her own life. yeah, absolutely, people can be very cruel, 30 yea rs people can be very cruel, 30 years ago in the classroom people would bully you, and you would go home and that would be an end to it, and now you go home from a day in the office ora home from a day in the office or a day at school and people are being cruel to you online,

and sometimes the written word has a lot more power than the spoken word because you can keep seeing it and it goes over and over in your head. social media blames the media, the media blames the media, the media blames the media, the media blames social media. she was obviously a very troubled woman but i think you also have to consider the show itself, love island, this is the third suicide link to the show. 0ne man in 2019, a woman injune 2018, and you have a show that prides itself on being this perfection of human physique, you are going to naturally attract online haters and online trolls and if you don't feel you live up to some idealised... concept of human attractiveness, then you are naturally going to start feeling that you are being attacked and hounded, and everything involving this u nfortu nate court everything involving this unfortunate court case with her

partner, it is just a tragic, tragic and. and we really need to think very carefully about how we... how we portray people and how we idolise them and how we treat them as well when they are in the public eye it is so easy to criticise and be cruel. it is so much nicer to be kind. if you disagree with someone, disagree with them politely. what happened to tolerance and understanding and kindness? mind—boggling. understanding and kindness? mind-boggling. similar themes i suppose, tolerance, goodwill are at the heart of the story in the mail0nline, are at the heart of the story in the mail 0nline, which is about the etiquette, and consideration or lack of that you show for other passengers ona you show for other passengers on a plane when you recline your seat often. these are very cramped cabins. yeah, the point has been made by several people in the us and elsewhere, saying

if you didn't cram us in like sardines and keep adding extra rows and into tight cabin spaces, people wouldn't feel the need to recline because they would be more leg room. that aside, you saw the video, right? for anyone who hasn't seen the video, a passenger reclines her seat, angry passenger behind her, he is in the back row where he can't recline his seat just repeatedly keeps knocking the chair to irritate her, then she sta rts chair to irritate her, then she starts filming. it has divided opinion, it went viral and has divided opinion. you can tell that he is angry, his face is full of rage ijust think... dude, couldn't you havejust tapped the lady on the shoulder and say excuse me please, do you mind raising your seat little bit because i really cramped. i love the idea of you turning around and saying" dude". i think it is about politeness and understanding. if he had said look, sorry lady, could you please move up a bit, it is too cramped. i'm

sure she would have said i'm sorry, i am a bit cramped as well but i will do my best. i can understand the ceo saying look, people, just ask permission. if look, people, just ask ermission. if ou're look, people, just ask permission. if you're seat reclines you have a right to reclines you have a right to recline your seat, that is absolutely true, but they should be some kind of respect. ifi should be some kind of respect. if i recline my seat and someone says sorry i am really too cramped, i would say you know what, dude, forfive hours, six hours, i will raise my seat. life is too short. hours, six hours, i will raise my seat. life is too shortlj a lwa ys my seat. life is too shortlj always feel the unwritten rule was you wait until everyone has eaten, don't recline until after the food has been done and once people have eaten then you start trying to navigate that territory. thank you very much simoney, thank you for watching, more coming up later. hello there. the very heavy rain that

storm dennis brought us, over a month's worth across the hills of southern wales, well, that's left some very nasty flooding conditions. we still have four severe flood warnings in force along stretches of the river teme between ludlow, in shropshire, and eardiston, in worcestershire. it was only thanks to these temporary flood defences, put up by the environment agency, that these properties in bewdley stayed away from the floodwaters. the river severn just about being held back. and talking of flood warnings, we have over 300 flood warnings still in force across the uk. and for some communities, the flooding will get worse before it gets better, as all of those flood waters slowly work down the river catchments. and talking of rain, well, we've got more of that to come over the next few hours, particularly so in scotland, as storm dennis passes quite close to the north. it is also going to become very windy here for a time. mind you, it's not the only place that will see strong winds — around the irish sea coast and the coast of southern england, we could get gusts of 60 or 70 miles an hourfora time. so a blowy, blustery start to the day on monday.

a day of sunshine and showers. the showers always most frequent across north—western areas, where they'll come along with hail and thunder. but it's a day where no—one is immune from seeing an odd heavy downpour. temperatures 8—11, feeling colder than that, giving the strength of the wind. now, for the rest of the week, areas of low pressure will be pinned across the atlantic so we we'll get cool days, and then the weather turns a bit milder, then a bit cooler, then a bit milder. all the while, it's gonig to stay quite windy, and pretty unsettled as well. now, here's tuesday's weather forecast. we've got a trough, this line of rain, pushing eastwards across the country. that will mean that we'll have some pretty heavy downpours with the risk of thunder. and as that clears, colder air follows. so for scotland, northern ireland and northern england, it's going to start to get colder — temperatures around 6 or 7 degrees. and over the hills of scotland, we'll see some of the showers following turn to snow. now, the winds finally calm down for a time tuesday night, as this ridge of high pressure builds in. that is ahead of this next weather system that's coming through for wednesday. wednesday then, starting off on a quiet note, with bright or sunny spells, particularly across eastern areas. it then clouds over in the west, with more rain on the way.

the rain getting into northern ireland, western parts of scotland and england, wales as well. temperatures, they should be rising through the day and probably rising through the night across western areas, by a few degrees, as that milder air continues to push in. that's wednesday's forecast. the rest of the week — thursday further showers, turning a bit cooler. friday, more outbreaks of rain are on the way and it will get windier with gales or even severe gales. but for the next day or two flooding is our major concern.

good morning welcome to breakfast with louise minchin and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today: a danger to life. there are five severe flood warnings in place this morning as storm dennis continues to batter the uk. we've got the dogs out so that is all that matters. hundreds of other flood warnings are in place. in south wales, police have declared a major incident after landslides and severe flooding. storm dennis still bringing strong winds to the uk, particularly
