Attention seeker, kim jong un. Because he has got to do something with his people. As laura said, there is Something Like 10 Million People are nourished in north korea and the sanctions imposed by the us and the sanctions imposed by the us and the sanctions imposed by the us and the rest of the world are seriously biting unnourished. Nobody dares criticise. He must know he is under the cost. To flick a couple of missiles underneath the radar is seen by him is doing the power of strength and to the rest of the world, i am actually quite nervous and i dont like it. Donald trump has been a little bit too over the top thinking dont worry about him,i the top thinking dont worry about him, i had him in hand. Iam not so sure about that, and without president ial election coming up, the next meeting they are due to have some time in the next few weeks needs to be more positive than we have seen because this handshaking and crossing the path is all very well, but you need a bit of meat and potatoes to go with it. Its move on and talk about the bank of england. Rate cutting is the current mode right now. Talk me through what challenges the bank of england is facing. What is going through their minds right now. First and foremost, iamafan of minds right now. First and foremost, i am a fan of the government of the bank of england but i dont like the Forward Guidance because i think to do that in the uk is different from the us. Why . Because the uk is a very specialised economy. The us economy broad based, california is com pletely economy broad based, california is completely different if you are in the west. You have these directors of the fed and various areas. We have had a number of false alarms, up and down, going back over three and four years. We are a huge fan of the chief economist of the bank of england. The fact remains is i think the bank of england, which was safe we get a good brexit, which is what i think they set about six weeks ago, we have to consider putting rates up because Wage Inflation is up rates up because Wage Inflation is up around 3. 4 , which is way above the level of inflation which is 2 . If that carries on, because we have a shortage of labour and the labour market, there is some cause for putting Interest Rates up. There still is in isolation, you cant do this stuff in isolation, a reason for putting up Interest Rates. Think because we have seen the fact that a no deal brexit is a possibility now, imean, the no deal brexit is a possibility now, i mean, the blinking going on, this is terrifying, the game of russian roulette. It could be extremely damaging ona roulette. It could be extremely damaging on a temporary basis. Roulette. It could be extremely damaging on a temporary basism the long term, i am not worried. So it is uncertain, are saying . Yes, he may have to go along with a general lot of other central that may be for the time being we need as much if not a bit more, undercutting Interest Rates. I dont subscribe that we are low enough, but i understand the rationale, but it is this bobbing around, up or down. Can you blame them . It is a difficult situation. Andy haldane has Something Like 25 economists giving him data virtually every day of the week. This is not somebody who goes like this to see which way the wind is blowing. These guys are really smart and they are living in horrible, horrible volatile times. One wonders how they cope. On it a second ago, david, what do you think we will see over the next year months . The answer to that question isi months . The answer to that question is i dont know. All i am surprised thatis is i dont know. All i am surprised that is the first thing, you can understand why leo radtke is toeing the party line. He is one of 27 members of the eu, they have had notice served on them varadkar. My notice served on them varadkar. My attitude is fine, and i understand that in good faith, Prime Minister may negotiate is something that she thought she could get through the house of commons, they threw it out, not by a bit, by a lot three times. Whether you like it or not, you have a new Prime Minister, you have a new. It doesnt mean a new deal. What i am saying is if you wa nt to new deal. What i am saying is if you want to go like this, saying, no, no and no, fine. You have to expect the outcome. My attitude is you need a conversation. Whether we are just going all the way down to the wire until somebody blinks, we have to have a chat if nothing else. Even if the European Union listens to Boris Johnson and michael gove and Stephen Barclay and says, sorry, we have this thing that has taken us three yea rs, this thing that has taken us three years , we this thing that has taken us three years, we are not doing it. Ok, but what i dont like is this intransigence and the fact remains as he is playing russian roulette. I have just met alice i have missed a trick, you have needed the uk for the exports and imports and we were quite a key customer of those. To throw the baby out with the bathwater just because you throw the baby out with the bathwaterjust because you are toeing the party line and to give me the excuse of the good friday agreement, which i think is easily capable, this, if anybody will put up capable, this, if anybody will put upa capable, this, if anybody will put up a border, it will not be the uk. It will be him all the European Union. How is a border going to work . Technology is the only way. It is not ready for the not ready yet. Sajid javid did something to the treasury when he was at the home office and was dismissed. Something along the lines of technology because a border that goes across Northern Ireland, the only way you can do it is through technology. Whether they can do something on the backstop that encounters technology, but what he says and the European Union says, is we have received no proposal that meets our criteria. 0k . Proposal that meets our criteria. Ok . I think to slam the door now very dangerous. 0k, ok . I think to slam the door now very dangerous. Ok, lets move on, because we want to bring in the story from the japan times. We have a lwa ys story from the japan times. We have always talked about japan having an ageing economy. An ageing population, excuse me. Fewerwomen working there than perhaps in other developed countries. But now the number of working women injapan has topped 30 million. This surely is a great thing because diversity is a great thing in any workplace. A great thing because diversity is a great thing in any workplacelj a great thing because diversity is a great thing in any workplace. I will make you laugh if i can. It is very early in the morning but i worked in japan 20 years ago. I cannot tell you how the emancipation of ladies has changed. It is wonderful. When i met my boss for lunch with his wife and my wife, two ladies walks two steps behind us and was spoken spoke when they were spoken to. Was that the norm . Certainly not. On a serious note. Now, the ladies behave just as important a role. It has taken 20 years to achieve this, because i think the quality of education for everybody at all levels is so much better, they are coming through and coming through in the droves. It is absolutely wonderful. The article does underline the fact there is still some discrimination against female workers. There is, because you cannot go to a to b, but i can assure you from what i have seen and read and what i knew 20 years ago, the change is dramatic. Lets talk about children. How many children do you have . I have three children and six grandchildren, and that is a picture of them just like my seven year old grandson. I have to say that when they have been in the country for a few days, they look different children, they look wonderful. The colour is better, because this wretched piece of equipment, and the ipad and all the sort of thing in the games, people get grumpy, bad tempered and i think it is just part of urban life. Get grumpy, bad tempered and i think it isjust part of urban life. And yet kids want to live in the city according to this investigation. Why do kids prefer the city life . Because there is more to do. They have the games and things, each others homes and their schoolfriends remain their friends for the rest of their lives, they get into groups and they love it that much more. But i think you people can actually, the country has huge benefits. Where did you grow 7 huge benefits. Where did you grow up . Iwas huge benefits. Where did you grow up . I was born in montreal but i have lived in london since 1949 and ican have lived in london since 1949 and i can remember going to euston station and it was all bombed, and to see what i can see now, this wonderful city, fantastic and i wouldnt live anywhere else in the world, it is the best that best place. Thank you so much. Stay with us here on bbc news. So much more to come. From me and the team here, goodbye. Hello. Tuesday brought a pretty destructive combination of weather to some parts of the British Isles. Across the southern counties, it was all about the strength of the wind, which downed a number of trees in a number of locations. But further north, particularly across the northern parts of yorkshire, it was the rain and thunderstorm activity brought by this area of low pressure that caused real problems, with anything up to 100mm of rain falling in a very short space of time, hence the flooding in northern parts of yorkshire, and indeed elsewhere across the north of england. And were not done with itjust yet, because that low pressure taking a time to drift offshore into the north sea. A much improved day, it has to be said, across the southern counties of england, through the midlands into wales. Fewer showers to report here, and less in the way of wind as well. But still some intensity about the showers, both in the north of england and also into the western side of scotland. As i take you from wednesday on into thursday, so that low pressure will eventually drift offshore, but the western flank still supplying a gaggle of showers into some of those eastern facing counties, with again the possibility of thunderstorms developing later on in the afternoon across central, western and North Western parts of scotland. Northern ireland faring quite decently, and again the southern counties for the most part escaping any shower activity. That trend to a spell of somewhat quieter weather will take us out of thursday, and indeed on into friday. A very weak area of High Pressure will just about kill off the remnants of the showers from most parts of the British Isles. The odd one or two couldnt be ruled out, but you get the sense on the broader picture that many areas will enjoy a fine day, with a decent amount of sunshine with just one or two showers left behind. With that increase in sunshine, less in the way of wind, i think we will find temperatures picking up by a degree or two. On into the weekend, and i have say there is some doubt at this stage aboutjust how fast this atlantic frontal system will spread its cloud and rain into the western side of the British Isles. I think as a general rule, the further east you are, saturday looks to be a dry and fine affair. As one set of weather fronts gradually work their way across the British Isles, weakening probably all the while, so eventually on the latter part of sunday well bring another weather system in towards the western side of the British Isles. And again, after a fairly decent start, i think welljust begin to thicken the cloud, and i wouldnt rule out the possibility of another belt of rain working its way into the western side of the British Isles to finish off the weekend. Take care, bye bye. Good morning. Welcome to breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and naga munchetty. Our headlines today feeling the heat from climate change.
