the government insists any changes won't be imposed on employers, but how do businesses feel about the idea? here's emma simpson. it's all quiet today on the factory floor of this small packaging firm in wigan. most of the workers are on a day off because they've worked four longer days instead of five. the office staff do them, too. when you're a busy working mum, to have that extra day when your children are all in school or college or uni, it's fantastic. it's a game—changer for me. not every employer can do compressed hours, but it works for this one. factory work doesn't... you know, we don't have the ability for those in the factory to work from home. so, just to be able to give a benefit and a different working pattern, such as the four—day week, is just an amazing thing that we've been able to do, and we're able to prove that this works.

employees already have the right to request flexible working, including a four—day week. labour want to make this easier as part of a major overhaul of workers�* rights. business groups say any changes have to be carefully thought through. if you do something - on the employment rights package that then hits economic growth or then makes it- harder to recruit people - and keep them in theirjobs, this is a real problem, . and the government has to really square that circle. and we want to be talking - to the government about how they get to do this right, without any— inadvertent consequences. let's welcome back our panel. kurt and mutaz, a four—day week. do either of you work on a four—day week? i guess it varies in your line of business?— varies in your line of business? , .,, , business? oh, my gosh! iwish we had that— business? oh, my gosh! iwish we had that kind _ business? oh, my gosh! iwish we had that kind of _ business? oh, my gosh! iwish we had that kind of certainty i we had that kind of certainty and stability. being in

technology has made it easier for us to work wherever we are, and so i think it warrants a re—examination of what exactly constitutes a work week in this country. if you're going to have a conversation about having more children, how are you going to create the room in the parents�* lives to parent children? they need some extra time. �* , . children? they need some extra time. �*, ., . children? they need some extra time. , time. it's a topic where we see those conversations _ time. it's a topic where we see those conversations rapidly - those conversations rapidly happening in other places as well. we'll bring you backin places as well. we'll bring you back in an a moment. breaking news right now, we are hearing the supreme court in brazil has ordered the immediate and complete suspension of the operation of x, formerly known as twitter, in the country. we are told that that has to happen within the next 2a hours maximum. the measure follows x's refusal to comply with an

destroying the island's beauty. he says "if you destroy the landscape, "one as rich as ours, you destroy the very reason people come here in the first place." let's hear from our panel now. if not the first place to talk about feeling overwhelmed by tourists. we've seen protests on the canary islands about tourism, overdevelopment, as some people see it. do you think that the mayor in santorini has a point — there is a risk of having the very —— losing the reason people want to visit santorini in the first place? to visit santorini in the first lace? �* , , ., , to visit santorini in the first lace? , , ., , place? absolutely. the beauty of it is place? absolutely. the beauty “her place? absolutely. the beauty of it is it is _ place? absolutely. the beauty of it is it is untouched - of it is it is untouched trea5ure. itju5t look5 of it is it is untouched trea5ure. it just looks so naturai— trea5ure. it just looks so natural and pure. touri5t5 can enjoy— natural and pure. touri5t5 can enjoy that, _ natural and pure. touri5t5 can enjoy that, but you have to sort — enjoy that, but you have to sort of _ enjoy that, but you have to sort of respect local right to their— sort of respect local right to their own beauty. thi5 sort of respect local right to their own beauty. this is their beauty — their own beauty. this is their beauty. they do have a mayor, they— beauty. they do have a mayor,

wait for it — £6,000. some people really trying to make a fast buck, i suppose. now, if you're lucky to get a ticket, there's also the matter of logistics — travel and accomodation. olivia bridge is a digital reporterfor newsquest. she's gone viral for offering up a camping spot in her back garden in exchange for oasis tickets, and she entered the pre—sale ballot. i managed to get four tickets this evening, so yeah, fantastic news. not got everyone that i needed, though, so yeah, still looking for a happy camper hopefully. yeah, i think the four is the limit, isn't it, for any one transaction? but well done, you must be absolutely delighted to get your hands on those tickets because, as we mentioned, you went viral with your posts saying, "if you will try to get tickets for me, you can come and camp in my garden." and that was prompted, wasn't it, by some hotels charging really big prices

for accommodation on the night of the concerts? yeah, so there's been loads of hotels across manchester. you know, some have even cancelled their bookings to resell on their rooms at sometimes three times the price. so, it was kind of sparked out of that really, because i would hate to see another fan have to fork out hundreds more pounds in just a hotel room, when they can just stay in my garden for free, and we can just enjoy the gig together. olivia bridge. let's get our views from our panel. mutaz, we heard your thoughts on music in ibiza clubs or who should be there. what about oasis? i there. what about oasis? i remember the excitement of them getting _ remember the excitement of them getting back together and i understand it. even if you are

it's great when songs get back together, get it one more run. it reminds me of what fans of taylor swift and beyonce went through trying to get tickets and the secondary ticket market and the secondary ticket market and how there needs to be more regulation. bands want their fans, their realfans, to see them, and when people buy tickets for the purpose of reselling, you're taking it away from the real fans. that's really disappointing, so i hope we have better ways to make sure that the real fans see the fans they love. ihla sure that the real fans see the fans they love.— fans they love. no doubt we will be covering _ fans they love. no doubt we will be covering it _ fans they love. no doubt we will be covering it with - fans they love. no doubt we will be covering it with the i will be covering it with the tickets go on general sale. seeing potentially what prices people are charging. it's been a pleasure to talk to both of you, mutaz and kurt, thank you very much for your time and your thoughts. just a reminder

that in pennsylvania, donald trump is well into his speech at a rally there. lester sure you a glimpse of the pictures again. if the key battleground states, and he is trying to win over voters there. her first one since becoming the the there will be some changes over the course of the weekend, but friday was a very pleasant day actually with the sunshine and light winds. high pressure in charge. but that's going to start to move away this weekend. a lot of the cloud that did bubble up isjust going to melt away this evening, leaving us with clear skies for many places. one or two mist and fog patches. there's a bit more cloud in the far southeast, and the breeze is picking up here. threatens one or two showers. that'll keep the temperatures a bit higher, but with clearer skies further north, it's going to be another chilly night, particularly in scotland and northern ireland.

temperatures down to 3—4 celsius. this cloud that comes in from the southeast will push a little bit further north into england and wales. still could be the odd shower around, particularly towards the southwest in the afternoon. a lot of places will be dry. we've got sunnier skies as you head further north across the uk. the winds will be a bit stronger, mind you, particularly across east anglia, the southeast and through the english channel. but with that sort of wind direction, it means this part of the country will be a little bit warmer. we're going to find temperatures getting into the low 20s for this area, and we could see a boost in those temperatures in the southeast as we see a bit more sunshine during the afternoon. and overnight, those temperatures aren't going to fall a great deal across southern areas. it could be a much more uncomfortable night for sleeping here. and that's because we're going to draw in a bit more warmth and humidity ahead of this weather front that's coming in from the atlantic. the high pressure slowly retreating across towards scandinavia.

could be a few showers developing across some northern parts of england and east anglia, with the threat of a few thunderstorms. and then, as we see a bit more sunshine across england and wales, we'll develop a few more of those storms into the afternoon. quite warm and humid air here. temperatures are going to be higher, peaking at 27, maybe 28 celsius. won't be quite as warm on sunday for scotland and northern ireland, because there'll be more cloud by this time. and this weather front will push its way in from the atlantic. but i think most of the rain is going to come ahead of that. we've got the potential for a plume of heavy rain and a lot of thunder and lightning. more towards the east coast of england, heading into easternmost parts of scotland. the weather front itself not producing much rain. and following on from that, there'll be sunshine in wales,
