we start with elon musk and the social media platform he controls, x, formerly known as twitter. it's facing the loss of one of its largest markets in a row over hate speech and disinformation. over the weekend, brazil's telecoms regulator suspended access to x for the country's 200—plus million people after a ruling by a seniorjudge. there will be a vote later today by a panel of brazil's supreme court on whether to uphold that ruling. it's the most serious crisis yet for the platform that mr musk promised would be a town square for free speech, but that critics accuse of becoming a haven for extremist and hateful content and false information. david waddell reports. when elon musk took control of quitter two years ago and a $41;

�*him? first mover advantage for him? well, i think, first mover advantage for him? well, ithink, good morning everybody nice to be here. i think the leaders have always been close, they have always had an ideological link about prosperity and struggles for natural liberation. but if you look at africa has been so

crucial to china's foreign summit in 2021 two x 300 policy since the end of the billion dolla the orth summit in 2021 two x 300 billion dolla the end �*the policy since the end of the civil war in 1947. they have civil war in 19117. they have supported several african liberation movements over the years. they now feel compelled supported compelled ijy years. they now feel compelled ijy years. they now feel compelled by loyalty to continue years. they now feel compelled by loyalty to continue bilateral relations with them. bilateral relations with them. it is interesting to note since it is interesting to note since 1950, there has not been a year has not been a year 1950, there has not been a year where a chinese foreign where a chinese foreign minister by one hasn't visited an african country. yes, china is somewhat of a fractious relationship with south africa, in that... it relationship with south africa, in that... , relationship with south africa, inthat... , ., ,, bi in that... it is fractious but big amounts _ in that. .. it is fractious but big amounts of— in that... it is fractious but big amounts of money, - in that... it is fractious but big amounts of money, in| in that... it is fractious but - big amounts of money, in 2023 bilateral trade with south africa reached $25 billion, for some aspects of the south african economy it is much needed, this investment? absolutely especially as an emerging country we struggle on certain export sides, it is

markets are closed in the us today for the annual labor day holiday. the travel industry is expecting a healthy 9% jump in the number of americans taking a trip over the long weekend. that would add to the optimism around the state of the us economy after figures on friday showed a rise in consumer spending injuly and only a modest rise in inflation. the hope is that the federal reserve has conquered soaring prices without causing a recession, and will now be able to start cutting interest rates this month. let's speak to fiona cincotta from city index. hello to you, it seems the mood music has changed, from a few weeks ago we saw terminal on financial markets on fears of recession, outlook like most believe we are in for a soft

we have heard from the federal reserve officials including jerome powell recently they have signalled towards the start of a rate cut at least a rate cut in september. i also think as the recession fears appeased the market has rained on those expectations of a 50 point rate cut. the base case scenario is a 25 basis point rate cut, 50 point basis cut potentially could unnerve the market more by raising concerns more by raising concerns are perhaps the federal reserve market more by raising concerns are perhaps the federal reserve know something we don't know know something we don't know and there is a recession and there is a recession cummings copy most likely cummings copy most likely scenario is the federal reserve scenario is the federal reserve will stick with the 25 basis will stick with the 25 basis points, methodicalslow points, methodicalslow will stick with the 25 basis points, methodical slow rate cut so they can assess how the will stick with the 25 basis points, methodical slow rate cut so they can assess how the economy is being impact by economy is being impact by their moves. their moves. fiona cincotta from city index. fiona cincotta from city index. let's get some of let's get some of the day's other news the day's other news 110w. 110w. some 10,000 us hotel workers began a multi—day strike in several cities on sunday during after contract

to the uk now — where there are almost 15 million people over 50 who are economically inactive. that's a figure that has increased by1 million in the last five years, according to recent data from the office of national statistics. but the uk's biggest homeware retailer dunelm is trying to work against that trend by actively recruiting older workers. it's been speaking exclusively to our business reporter simon browning. workers — the fabric of the economy. here at dunelm, the made—to—order curtain factory in leicester, more than half of the team is over 50 — a seamless blend of youth and technical experience. 68 next month. and you are? i'll be 65 in about four weeks. she a good worker? she's a great worker. everybody loves her. with no sign of

retirement, ali and mags want to use a half century of learnt skills. the success of a factory would be having a good age range mix, and i think we need that mix which can pass on the skills to the younger generation. a quarter of the entire workforce at dunelm are older workers. those over 50, it's almost 3,000 people. they actively recruit this age group, targeting them on facebook and job centres. it appears to be working, the retailer is growing and opening new stores — a rare achievement. we have a very flexible approach to different types of shifts. i have had colleagues chat to me in stores or in here and they i i'm retiring. i go — we really don't want you to retire, have you considered staying on in a seasonal contract so that, you know, you can just come in for less weeks of the year but still keeps you connected. there are 11.1 million

economically—active over 50s in the uk economy — that's either in a job or actively looking for. that's up 320,000 in the last five years since before the pandemic. but there's 111.8 million economically enactive workers over 50 and that's up a million in the last five yea rs. getting some of those back to work would be a big boost to the uk economy. with so many workers cut, many have challenges getting back in. we often talk about this cohort of people as being the sandwich generation, so often they would be primary carerfor their elderly parents and sometimes still have dependent children and teenagers at home and that can have a lot of — can see big impacts on their ability to navigate work. come in. well, this is my home which is also my workplace. flexible solutions do exist. kate teaches foreign students english at home offering bed and board. job satisfaction is really important and i think having some sort of structure for the week. the income, i don't

usually think about that too much but it's always good to have, but mostly for me it's just meeting a whole load of interesting people and having interesting things to research a bit. with almost 900,000 job vacancies in the uk economy, drawing on the skills of the uk's older workers could be a boost for much—wanted economic growth. simon browning, bbc news. finally to crime — because a gang linked to 22 raids on luxury villas in ibiza, including one rented by uk tv and radio star nick grimshaw, were arrested over the weekend by spanish police. the robbers had singled out properties often used by high net—worth individuals. the guardia civil said they used gas to sedate their victims while stealing their belongings. it's just the latest case where wealthy individuals have been targeted by robbers — including burglaries of sports stars from footballer raheem sterling to cyclist mark cavendish. not to mention a spate of watch

we're expecting showers or some longer spells of rain. the heaviest downpours will be across northern england and scotland. probably some thunderstorms mixed in, so there could be some localised surface water flooding. bit of rain crosses northern ireland, brighter from western counties later in the afternoon. probably quite murky around some of our irish sea coasts. maybe staying dry across east anglia and south east england, where it will continue to feel quite humid and very warm. now beyond that, as we head into tuesday, eventually we're going to start to get northwesterly winds moving back across the country, and they will bring fresher air and some slightly lower temperatures as well. now, tuesday will probably start off with some bits and pieces of rain, probably murky weatherfor some across eastern areas to clear out of the way. then some sunshine. a few showers followed to scotland, northern ireland and maybe one or 2 for the northwest of both england and wales. temperatures 18 to 21. feeling fresher, pleasant in the sunshine. from wednesday onwards, though, there's a lot of uncertainty in the weather forecast.

two scenarios — one is that we continue to see showers work into north—western areas, with the driest weather across the south and east of the uk, where we've got a ridge of high pressure. in this scenario wednesday, thursday, friday, temperatures wouldn't change very much. high teens to low 20s. a pleasant spell of weather for many. however, there is a different scenario where the weather patterns get completely flipped on their head. in this second scenario the driest weather would end up being to the north—west of the uk, and instead towards the south—east. we could end up seeing low pressure form and wet and windy weather moving in. so there's a lot of uncertainty. don't be surprised if the forecast changes then over the next few days.
