of la figaro, president macron looks to a new way, on the eve of his new prime minister‘s policy speech. jean castex was appointed as pm by president macron, earlier this month. let‘s see if we have time for that. and back to uk front pages, on the guardian — ‘i am not guilty‘ says maxwell as bail plea is rejected. so let‘s begin... welcome back both of you. let‘s kick off. the metro, we will go our own hallway. a lot of pressure from the us on this. a real u—turn by the british governmentjust a few months after that original decision by borisjohnson to allow hallway into the sg borisjohnson to allow hallway into the 56 network. but it's a u-turn we see in common. the world and europe and britain is a different place for

what it was in february and indeed injanuary what it was in february and indeed in january when boris johnson started saying well, yes we will need huawai enter the market for the sg need huawai enter the market for the 56 network. a different feeling first of all of course the events in hong kong and the fact that some of the democrat activists are now in london. in the very forceful and very brave stance from britain, from london saying that they were ready to welcome up to 3 million hong kong residents. to work in britain and perhaps in the long term get a passport. a uk passport. so, suddenly britain seen from europe is much more welcoming to strangers. and that is good news. but why it‘s important that boris johnson

suddenly opposes huawai to enter the sg suddenly opposes huawai to enter the 56 network and strip it? and seven yea rs 56 network and strip it? and seven years time, 2027. it‘s become other companies in europe also watching and wondering whether they should actually walk in the same steps as the uk for other markets the dependence on china in last 25 yea rs, dependence on china in last 25 years, now increased that we‘ve seen in the covid—i9 crisis we realised we we re in the covid—i9 crisis we realised we were not producing ppe or masks. ifimake we were not producing ppe or masks. if i make cut in. we were not producing ppe or masks. ifi make out in. ifi may cut in david this does follow real pressure from the united states, obviously. has he bought off the rebels in his own party do you think? that's a very interesting question because if you take two of the rebels my namesake without the

david davis has said that he thinks the whole process of seven years, the whole process of seven years, the action this year to get rid of everything from huawai is too long. whereas damien green has said that he thinks that it's actually, he's really quite supportive. the thing that strikes me, i don't know if this is the view in france, if you say our expression here in the uk a week isa say our expression here in the uk a week is a long time in politics. seven years as a lifetime. and quite, you heard that speech from the presidentjust quite, you heard that speech from the president just now, quite, you heard that speech from the presidentjust now, what potential president biden might, what view he might take of all this, we just wait to see. also moving on to the ft, fury from beijing. we saw the chinese ambassador to london just a few days ago saying there would be consequences. any time when

britain is leaving europe, needs trades deals i wonder, where and what these consequences will be? well the turn has shifted and it‘s in the last few weeks and months she and ping the chinese president, is now showing his true face. hong kong and taiwan in the south china seas but also the border with india. and he doesn‘t a pair is a kind i live. it does european allies let‘s put the us aside. because i‘m not sure joe biden is going to be any different from trump on that subject was upi different from trump on that subject was up i think the whole question of dependence on china for so many things is really at the heart of the debate. okay. shall we move on to

the daily mirror, different story here. shopping mask till next year. talking about ppe so much producers of course in china. it does seem that facemask could be compulsory and shops until a vaccine is found for that whenever that might be. absolutely. and you suspect that when the public inquiry into all this, all aspects of how the government has acted over the past few tumultuous months that the issue of facemask, were not really interested and then, oh actually perhaps we are, now we're going to make them compulsory. and as i understand it, the next step, the telegraph is talking about the next step is going to be in offices as well. the shift has been quite enormous. now has the knowledge grown? of course it has do we know more about the virus that we did? i

jolly well hope so. it has been an extraordinary that old expression, u—turn again. it will remain to be seen how some of the government ministers and the experts explain the transition over these months. still a big debate isn‘t there a? about aerosol transmission of covid—i9, does actually transmit like that? the who have been written to by several leading scientists experts. in france my chrome is talking about making facemask compulsory and indoor spaces quite soon. yes, he announced it today during bastille day speech. i must say the thing is in lockdown and friends and i just say the thing is in lockdown and friends and ijust returned from northern italy, face masks and mask have been compulsory and shops and

on transport and friends and in italy and spain. spain it‘s actually outdoors and indoors. so that‘s easy. since may the 11th. so it will now be a legal obligation nationwide. but really, i don‘t know of any shop in france that doesn‘t insist that you wear a mask. it‘s so much easier as a citizen and as a consumer if this is the same for everyone. i was a bit confused while in london because my mask, shops insisted on gloves some others just on sanitising gel. well, it‘s probably better for everyone... to get upset your libertarian instincts, david? my attitude to all this... i'm sorry and confusing it with your namesake. how is

libertarian in the states are well known. you have to say how is all there is enforceable? and who is in enforceable by? i'd be interested to know how they are in for sitting in northern italy and france. while the police certainly over here on taking it on are they? that‘s been made pretty evident over the past 25 hours. one more, such a squeeze paper review. because president from giving that press conference. micron, searching for a new path and a new way with the shakeout. what interested me is i think there were six members of his new government which are close to sack was a. so the right will be pleased. if you read that they are not happy because the problem in in france apart from general de gaulle who managed to transcend politics, nobody has done it before him and of course general

de gaulle lived in exceptional circumstances in the 40s and also when he came back in the late 50s because there was, it hasn‘t been on before. the president says he wants to transcend politics but it‘s a lwa ys to transcend politics but it‘s always asked whether he is on the right on the left on the centre left oi’ right on the left on the centre left or central lab. and it looks like he can never win. he‘s got two years left of his presidency. i think he‘s trying to find a new tone, he‘s trying to find a new tone, he‘s trying to find a new tone, he‘s trying to appease france, which is very divided country. which almost really relishes malaise and division. really, his two years left will be about mitigating the terrible post covid—i9 crisis. david, i‘m going to have to save you for another 35 minutes. we havejust ran out of time. thank you very much indeed for that very abridged look at the first editions of the

national and international papers. we will back about 35 minutes times for another. hello. if anything tuesday is looking a little bit grayer than wednesday. we did manage some sunshine on tuesday across midlands across scotland. this was a general picture for most of the country. that of a lot of clout. we‘ve got thicker clout courtesy of this weather, it‘s been bringing rain and drizzle through the night. continues to progress southward and eastward for the southwards not going to be particular the chilli will start with a bit of sunshine here but we will have thicker clout and rain for many areas as a result it will be a mild out. a misty wong, a lot of this low cloud will sit on the hills and around the coast as well. hence the fact that it will be grey and damp to start for many. that drizzly

rain makes its way to at east anglia for the afternoon whilst attending to ease further west. may see some brightness for northern ireland and wales in the southwest later. and for shipment we may hold onto some sunshine and took quite late in the day for the most more clouds patchy drizzle, it would feel a bit cooler. a gentle northwesterly breeze the exception perhaps bringing northern island seeing temperatures just a little higher here. as we go through the evening and overnight that kyle continues to thin out a little bit. it's continues to thin out a little bit. it‘s going to be another mild night. misty and murky again but without those weather fronts as they move away on thursday. it promises a better chance of seeing some brighter weather. even a little sunshine. that will help to lift the temperatures. it‘s the far northwest where we will see some rain coming in on this weather front late in the day. brightness on thursday, high pressured still with us building through those weather fronts weakening all the i think for scotla nd weakening all the i think for scotland and potentially northern island friday will bring more rain. cooler air follows behind. island friday will bring more rain. cooler airfollows behind. good chance that we will see some decent

spells of sunshine for many areas on friday. that will really elevate the temperatures. 23 to 26dc. as we go into the weekend that weather front will progress further southwards. it will progress further southwards. it will introduce potentially more clouds and patchy rain for northern ireland, southern scotland, northern england. brighter but cooler weather follows behind. still got that warming airfurther follows behind. still got that warming air further south. potential for something much warmer still to form across southern and eastern areas. but during the day on wednesday it does look potentially very cloudy for many of us. more on the website.
