this big area of high pressure in the atlantic is going to try to extend its influence for the middle part of the week. still, though, some weak frontal zones in the picture, so that means a lot of dry weather, thanks to that area of high pressure, but those weak weather fronts still bringing some areas of cloud and some bits and pieces of showery rain at times. those temperatures will be lower — 1a to 21 degrees covers things north to south for the middle of the week. for the end of the week, well, there is a lot of uncertainty about the detail, but it looks like low pressure may develop to the south of the uk bringing some outbreaks of rain, with some drier conditions further north.

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 over a row about hate speech and disinformation. brazil's telecoms regulator suspended access to ex for the country's 200—plus million people — over the weekend — after a ruling by a seniorjudge. today a panel of brazil's supreme court — will begin hearing on whether to uphold that ruling. earlier i spoke to the technologyjournalist chris stokel—walker and began by asking him how significant the shut—down was in brazil. pretty significant because of the scale of the country and therefore the scale of the use. we have third—party estimates, between 20 million and a0 million brazilians are believed to use x every month. around about one third have it installed on their phones which means that this is a relatively big market and has been not just for x but lots of other tech platforms which is why they try to keep them onside. if you are a tech executive right now, there may be a

concern this sort of thing is catching and other countries and markets might follow suit. yes, we had not only this issue with elon musk and x in brazil but also in france and the debate around telegram. we've also had elon musk getting into spats with many other people and i think this is parfor the course for him. most recently we've had him getting engaged with european regulators including the commissioner in charge of social media. he also had a similar dispute over free speech and his view over images and video shared of an attack on a church in australia with the e—safety commission are there so this is becoming increasingly common and elon musk is a lightning rod for that sort of criticism. we heard about _ that sort of criticism. we heard about the - that sort of criticism. we heard about the boycotting of advertising, about the valuation, is the business model not working? i valuation, is the business model not working? i think it's really struggling _ model not working? i think it's really struggling at _ model not working? i think it's really struggling at the - really struggling at the moment. we know that elon musk was very keen to buy this, he

was very keen to buy this, he was willing to spend an awful lot of money and we know he has pretty much tanked the business. 0ne pretty much tanked the business. one of the things that elon musk often refers to is that controversy creates cash. i don't think he's going to end up getting brazil back online any time soon unless he accepts those requests which are relatively simple but he sees this as a red line so this will impact the business even further. 0xfa m 0xfam is launching a drive to challenge the sustainability of the fashion industry with its september clothing drive. is looking to highlight the availability of pre—loved clothing as an alternative to the fashion throwaway culture seenin the fashion throwaway culture seen in parts of the industry. this is ahead of london fashion week which starts next week. 0xfam's chief executive joins me now. it's notjust about

ever seen and we are seeing an interest across all of our shops for pre—loved, stylish goods and with it a real concern with making sustainable choices that do not harm the planet. choices that do not harm the lanet. ., , ., choices that do not harm the lanet. . i. ., ., choices that do not harm the lanet. . ., ., , planet. have you had to compete with the likes _ planet. have you had to compete with the likes of _ planet. have you had to compete with the likes of ebay, _ with the likes of ebay, facebook marketplace for people's donations? hat facebook marketplace for people's donations? not much at all. i people's donations? not much at all- i think _ people's donations? not much at all. i think we _ people's donations? not much at all. i think we are _ people's donations? not much at all. i think we are sharing - all. i think we are sharing that space. people have an interest in making sustainable choices, looking around, shopping ethically, and that seems to be the trend, particularly with younger people. second—hand doesn't mean second best, you can get second—hand, pre—loved, really stylish clothes or goods, and it seems to be where a new generation are heading, so we are really sharing this, it's not a competition, isjust trying to think hard about the choices we make and if we can make a choice that also helps the planet and think about our carbon footprint, that's a

win—win for us. and it isn't a monetary win, it's about making sure the choices we make help secure marginalised communities across the world. you might be aware that bangladesh is undergoing some severe flooding. that's an effect of the climate crisis. typically for example, if you buy one pair ofjeans or one second—hand t—shirt from one of our 0xfam shops, you are pretty much saving 20,000 bottles of water. that actually gets used in making one pair ofjeans or t—shirt. so we are saving the planet and also making a sustainable fashion choice. for this sort of _ sustainable fashion choice. for this sort of campaign to have meaningful impact, do you think the widerfashion meaningful impact, do you think the wider fashion industry needs to get on? we got london fashion week next week, what would you like to see from the big designers? we would you like to see from the big designers?— would you like to see from the big designers? we would like to ush the big designers? we would like to push the big _ big designers? we would like to push the big designers - big designers? we would like to push the big designers and - big designers? we would like to push the big designers and also| push the big designers and also fast fashion designers, it's notjust fast fashion designers, it's not just about fast fashion and

cheap fashion, trying to get them to think about supply chains and thinking sustainably. for example, a lot of the clothes that you see in british high street stores are coming from places like china and vietnam so there are containers moving across oceans, moving around, 11 billion goods, and that's hurting the planet, so we've got to think a little bit about moving those big supply chains closer to ethical sources of trading, so we would like to encourage all producers and fashion houses to think about sustainable choices. there are almost 15 million people in the uk who are economically inactive, that has increased byi million in the last five years according to recent data by the office for national statistics. the uk's bi . . est national statistics. the uk's biggest homeware _ national statistics. the uk's biggest homeware retailer l biggest homeware retailer dunelm is trying to recruit
