quite sort of instinctively i suppose, gut reaction, kneejerk reaction and i think if he gets any excuse or reaction and i think if he gets any excuse or if he gets any indication from the north korean side, that there really could be, you know, an, a heating up even more of the situation. he is going to be the first to act. is because in the past we first to act. is because in the past we have said it is north korea, it is blutser, sabre rattling, now there is reaction from, you know, there is reaction from, you know, the us, that is saying something and the us, that is saying something and the daily telegraph, if we turn to the daily telegraph, if we turn to the daily telegraph quickly, cia, they are saying this is how we will act now. that is interesting. this is the first time he has spoken publicly in january and caused is the first time he has spoken publicly injanuary and caused the cia and donald trump didn't have a great reaction when he was first inaugurated because of the investigations into his links with russia, now he is coming, he has waded in and said this is the right thing for we have to do something. this raises the question of why they are they only going in now? north korea has been a threat for years and years. the red lines. the whole time the fear has been maybe they have got nuclear weapons but the longer you leave it the worse that threat get, we havejust longer you leave it the worse that threat get, we have just got to hope that they haven't got the capability to launch a long range nuclear missile. but we don't know, at least with, you know, other conflict, syria, afghanistan, we know what they are up to, we knew that assad had stocked of chemical weapon, we don't know what the enmany i is so we don't know what the enmany i is so we have to hope... equally we have to wait and sow what we are hearing from the us and from trump isjust rhetoric or whether it is action and whether they will put their money where their mouth is so to speak. whether they will put their money where their mouth is so to speakm it is not just where their mouth is so to speakm it is notjust horticultureia that the cia are reacting to, they mention iran, you would have thought the tensions has stopped but they mention iran, as well, to take note. i think part of after that is to do with the fact they are kind of, they have been fortified by what we have seei'i have been fortified by what we have seen with afghanistan and syria, and the response as you say internally from the us especially that the trusm administration has got for those actions and i think this is just kind of like a general warning saying don't mess with us, we have the ability and the capacity to retaliate, and equally at the same time north korea is saying, if you itiess time north korea is saying, if you mess with us you will probably regret it. and iran is going to side with north korea. mr trump was never afan of with north korea. mr trump was never a fan of the deal in the first place. i would like do you pick up josie, we will turn to the ft, and ze i’o josie, we will turn to the ft, and zero hours contracts. in the news yet again. that is is right, yes. there you go. so this is a story in the ft, it is an interview that they did with matthew taylor who was tony blair's former policy chief, and he was basically given the job by theresa may back in november to look a the changing face of the labour market and specifically the rise of what we call the gig economy, the zero hour contract, people being on working in jobs where they don't know in the morning whether they will be called up morning whether they will be called up and say yes, we need you to come into work, no we don't need you. what he is saying or proposing is that temperature minimum wage is topped up for these kind ofjobs to provide a premium, and the idea is that this would discourage employers from taking advantage of the gig economy workers, from taking advantage of the gig economy workers, and yes, so it would be provide the best of two world, provide flexibility for people in the jobs and it would ei'isui'e people in the jobs and it would ensure that employers can keep zero hours contrajts on their books.|j ensure that employers can keep zero hours contrajts on their books. i am not sure that a minimum wage, you know or rather a surplus on the wage is the right way, the minimum wage debate is about is it great in it offers flexibility and certainly as a freelancer and lots of people in the media are freelancer, i like the idea of zero hours contract but does it make workers very insecure, so thatis it make workers very insecure, so that is the debate. i think a way to get round that, because, one of the problems, of this, is there is a report highlighted by one worker saying that they... they are told to be ready at seven. then they got a phone call says we don't need you.” think a better way of tackling is is what about bringing in minimum notice period. then they would have to pay half, you know, because by introducing a anyone mum wage, for skier row —— zero hours contracts, what the employers will do is reduce the base minimum wage and add the surplus on top. there is a question whether it is enough in the first place. we will stay with wage, turn to the guardian, and how about £95 an hour, an hour. but, josie you we i’e an hour, an hour. but, josie you were saying if they are short and we are talking about the nhs here, they are talking about the nhs here, they are going toing to pay. it is a hospital in peterborough city hospital, which apparently is offering doctors £95 an hour, as this staffing crisis in the nhs has escalating, and, yes, it is an awful lot of money, we were working out a ten hour shift, you were pocketing a grand, but ultimately there is no—one viable to do the job. grand, but ultimately there is no-one viable to do the job. they point out it is a&e. it is a&e. it is yet another headline that is telling us, screaming in ourface, that the nhs is in crisis, something needs to change an my concern here is, that this, this is is a vicious cycle. this is going to, the more stories that come out like this, the fewer people are going to want to pursue a career in the medical tracks by. if they are giving £5 an hour maybe they will. this is great investigation, they have highlighted e—mails that have come from admin staff going to medical staff, and highlighted the urgency in the messages which demonstrates how desperate they are. in one say it says sorry to send so many messages lam says sorry to send so many messages i am practically begging at this point. that was one from the john radcliffe hospital. there soot one saying can anyone help, it really is a matter of keeping the department safe, so, i mean thatjust really raises questions of whether it is safe for these do, to be working, if they are calling on people who have weekend plans but they are being incentivised. they are crossing their fingers. easter is crunch time with with the holiday. 0k very quickly this made me giggle. the mail, drivers must use satnav to pass the test. i often shout at my satnav, so i am not sure i would have passed my test if i had to use this in my test. what do you make of this? no three point turns. it is great. it is, time change, so the tests were set in the time when cars we i’e tests were set in the time when cars were different, so every time i a drive a car, i don't own one. aren't the roads the same? you need the same skills? you don't. because the ca i’s same skills? you don't. because the cars are automatic, power steer, they say we won't have the three point turn, we will have to the learn how to use a satnav system. that is a sensible reflection of how ca i’s that is a sensible reflection of how cars are changed. you don't need to learn thousand use a three point turn. i did do them. i can't drive. when i do pass the test i think i will be happy i don't have to do a three point turn. reversing round the corner is the killer. it has become a multitasking. there is so much technology in cars that part of the skill of driving is to learn to multitask, you have to listen to your satnav and drive. it is right they test that. maybe the test should be avoid your phone while you are being tested. introduce the distractions. i wonder if we can get one more in, talking about car, and, they are saying that car loans could be, could equal or have echoes of the subprime mortgage crisis, that is worrying. this is a story in the telegraph saying that the amount being or borrowed to buy new cars has trebled in the last eight years, to £30 billion a year. adds you say, echos of the subprime crisis, and it is scary, this is getting out of control and i think the issue is we are forgetting what the subprime crisis was like, and what damage that really did cause. our memories are fading. unlike, in a way it is worse with cars because you can never pay it off. if if they were over—iiing with houses you would pay it off, but a car depreciates, you still need another car. would you stretch yourselves? the past we would stretch ourselves for a mortgage, would you stretch yourses for a car? no. financially? mortgage, would you stretch yourses fora car? no. financially? no. but i live in london sol fora car? no. financially? no. but i live in london so i don't need a car. it would be different for someone who doesn't have the transport link we have and do need a car to get round. we will end it there but the bank of england are investigating this, because there are huge, huge concerns, but you will be back in half an is now yes. for our final will be back in half an is now yes. for ourfinal payners. will be back in half an is now yes. for our final payners. please do helen. that it is from the payner, we have the headlines coming up and of course, another look at the papers at 11.30. stay tuned. this is bbc news. —— papers. quite a cool day for most us today and chilly in some parts of the country. and this isn't going to change, through the easter weekend or indeed well into necks week. it will stay cool, at least we have some sunshine and the rain for most of us shouldn't be too heavy. you can see of us shouldn't be too heavy. you can see where the air is coming from, you can see the movement of the air, the arrows. it is. co—ing from the arctic, the milder atries to get in but never wins so we are on the cold side throughout the weekend and into next week as well. the weather has been wet in some area, certainly the north of wales here, we have had, it has had its fairshare of rain. here, we have had, it has had its fair share of rain. through the course of this evening the weather fron't bringing the rain will start to sort of fizzle away, fall apart, so that means that the rain, when it reaches southern areas will tend to be much lighter through the course of the night. and in fact, in many northern areas the skies will clear, but western scotland and northern areas some showers, even wintry on the hills. three degrees in northern scotland, closer to 10 c. saturday, actually not a bad day, it will be of course fresh, we have established that but there will be fine pretoriaer round, so starting across the south, sunny spells here, at times it will be overcast, at times you will get the sunshine. temperatures nothing spectacular round 12 degrees and a better day tomorrow, and we have rain right now, northern parts of wales getting sunshine, showers moving through, northern ireland to the north—west, and western and pars of scotland. the air is cold enough for wintriness on the hills, so if there are any easter walkers on the hills, certainly wintry into saturday evening. now let us look at easter day itself. high pressure to the south of us, then we have this awkward weather front sliding through central parts of the uk. some uncertainty, how much rainfall this weather front is going to get. the basic message is the broad bush message is that the south—west should just about stay dry, and the far north of scotland will have sunshine,s whereas many central areas will see some rain during the day with a bit of sunshine, limited thoughful on easter monday, eastern areas catch some showers but not a bad day overall. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11. the us confirms it's assessing its military response to north korea's nuclear programme — china warns conflict could break out at any moment.
