until next time, from all of us here in tokyo, it is goodbye. we have already seen a covering of snow, but some amber warnings coming for the snow and the ice. the reason, we have turned to the siberian easterly wind. it is a strong wind, really buffeting western areas. really blowing those snow showers far west, as well. further south, the remnants of a weather front. there could further south, the remnants of a weatherfront. there could be further south, the remnants of a weather front. there could be a few centimetres lying, particularly in the gardens and off the roads. it is becoming icy out there, and it could becoming icy out there, and it could be starting to pile up and blow around. temperatures eight to 10 degrees lower than it has been, and it really feels bitter with that wind. wrap up warm. the amber warning, which is where we will see most disruption from the snow, the most disruption from the snow, the most significant amounts, as it comes in thick and fast, the midlands, lincolnshire, crossed welsh borders. and then, the extent o

until next time, from all of us here in tokyo, it is goodbye. hello there. winter has returned with a vengeance this weekend. strong, cold easterly winds have already brought snow in places, our weather watchers have captured the scenes, this one from west yorkshire, this weather watcher picture from essex. and there is some more snow to come. let's look back at how things developed during saturday evening, from the radar picture you can see all of the showers piling in from the east, but then an area of more significant, persistent snow that developed over the south—east. that continues to drift westwards and so we have three different met office amber warnings in force, one towards the london area, one across parts of eastern england and the north midlands and one for the south—west of england and the south—east of wales. these areas most prone to seeing disruption from significant snowfall. this is how we start off the day, with this area of more persistent snow continuing to drift across england and wales, some snow showers elsewhere, widely down b

until next time, from all of us here in tokyo, it is goodbye. hello there. holiday seems like a good idea with all the cold and snowy weather around. more snow in the last 2a hours or so, particularly over higher ground. a couple of weather watcher pictures, snow in bristol, probably seen the back of the so in bristol for a while. still have the amber snow warning from the met office, extended until three o'clock in the morning, mainly for devon and cornwall with heavier falls of a higher ground. that's noble stick around for staying snowy for the rest of today. the cold wind from the north sea is blowing more snow showers in, chiefly from the north humberand showers in, chiefly from the north humber and more sunshine between the snow showers in scotland and northern ireland. temperatures select one or 2 degrees. a cold north—easterly wind, feeling cold out there today, but we will gradually cut off the feed of really cold air as gradually cut off the feed of really cold airas high gradually cut off the feed of really cold air as high pressure builds down

prone tokyo, it is good buys. —— from tokyo it is a good buy. hello there. this weekend is looking better than last weekend. certainly much warmer and on sunday, we should see good spells of sunshine. a bit cloudy on saturday, and the reason for the cloud through saturday is because of this feature — this deep area of low pressure running into the south of the uk. further north, though, it should be clearer and as a result, it's going to be a colder start to saturday. the cloud will be thick enough, outbreaks of rain across england and wales. the odd heavier bursts across wales, central southern parts of england with quite a breeze blowing there for cornwall and devon. so where we have the cloud to start saturday morning, it should be milder — 5—7 degrees, but cold. scotland, northern ireland with clear skies and a touch of frost. so for the weekend, then, we should see some good spells of sunshine, especially on sunday. there will be some showers around and temperatures will be around the seasonal average. so this is the picture then through saturday

from everyone here in tokyo, it's goodbye. last weekend we were talking about smoke and severe wind—chill. still the prospect of some snow in this forecast, just not yet. an early typical spring weekend ahead. some spells of sunshine but also showers. we have cloud to the south—west. the spanish met office have named it storm hugo, bringing storms to spain, but for storm hugo, bringing storms to spain, butfor us, storm hugo, bringing storms to spain, but for us, it is bringing cloud across england and wales, which will bring light rain and drizzle. the cloud being nibbled away across northern england. sunny spells and showers in scotland, northern ireland, and some could be wintry over high ground in scotland and maybe a rumble of thunder to the east of scotland, for the rest, sunshine. the cloud continues to be eroded this evening and overnight so clear skies here, temperatures taking a tumble and close to freezing if not below in some areas. hanging onto the cloud in the south. here, temperatures between 4—7. as low as

from everyone here in tokyo, it's goodbye. hello, good afternoon. many of us kicking off british summertime with some sunshine. that is, if you are away from the south and east. this morning, blue skies around the lot of us, this photo sent in from aberdeenshire. the further south and east you are, a bit more in the way of cloud. this photo from kent. the cloud is clearing its way towards the south—east, a few spots of rain and drizzle as it does so. elsewhere, good sunshine, but still a few showers across scotland, northern ireland into south—west england. scattered, so not everyone will catch one. it feels pleasant in the sunshine. this evening and overnight, a ridge of high pressure keeping things settled for that perhaps one or two showers persisting in the north and west, but a lot of dry weather around. with clear skies, it will be cold with a widespread frost developing. we could see a pew patches of mist and fog forming. mild air to begin with at the start of the week, but it will turn cold as we move through the week, turning colder as

from everyone here in tokyo, it's goodbye. hello once again. i think the weekend eventually got there for many of us. certainly, i think many more are seeing a drier, brighter prospect through the bulk of sunday. it wasn'tjust belper that got the very best of it. but having said that, there has to be an exception and it was to be found close to the south—eastern quarter of the british isles, where a veil of cloud, the residue of saturday, was still hanging around — wouldn't you just know it, it's gone as we get into the wee small hours. underneath, pretty clear skies. so, for the north of scotland, there is going to be quite a widespread frost, not a particularly hard one, but it's just a reminder that we're still fairly early in the season, so don't be at all surprised, even in the towns and cities, if you get close to, if notjust a tad below freezing. although i think there will be just that difference across some of the southern counties. the first part of the week is marked by some mild air close by to the british isles, but once that's

from everyone here in tokyo, it's goodbye. hello. make no mistake, there is a lot of weather of varying types to come this easter weekend. some of it could cause some problems, too. there'll be some rain around at times. notjust that — some snow. easter monday looks a troublemaker, we'll see that at a moment. temperatures on the cool to cold side of average, but there will be some drier, sunny moments too. we'll detail all of that as we look throughout the entire easter weekend, starting with good friday. there will be some snow showers affecting parts of northern scotland from the word go, recovering to some of the higher routes, an area of hill snow moving from north—east england across other parts of eastern scotland. heavy showers developing in southern england, reaching into parts of wales, the midlands, east anglia later in the day, maybe with a rumble of thunder. single—figure temperatures, colder still in easterly winds across the northern half of the uk. just one or two showers, but sunny spells into northern ireland.

the bank of tokyo has $165 billion in assets that can be covered by this bill. in 2013, the bank of tokyo mitsubishi settled with the new york department of financial services for $250 million over charges that had cleared tens of thousands of transactions. they estimated that the bank wired moreo than $100 billion to countries that were under u.s. sanctions including iran, sudan and burma. the bank specifically tried to evade sanctions by telling employees to leave destination information out of the money going to those countries so they could fool the regulators and now this congress is offering to help lucinda oversight on the bank of tokyo mitsubishi. let's pause on this one. washington thinks this bank needsve less oversight a year after it got caught funneling money to dangerous regimes and then trying to cheat rather than fix the problem. so a state banking regulator was so alarmed by this they actually put an independent monitor inside the bank to keep an eye on it and now republicans and democrats have decided this is a bank we can trust. this is nuts.

chris fromng in tokyo. the implication of the jobs report on the markets and the fed report are what? chris: it's kind of like goldilocks is back again. we have got this scenario steady growth, continued job gains. but without the pickup in inflation that had spooked markets a few weeks ago. so the bottom line for markets, at least at the get go here at the asian open, is that this is good for growth, this means no need for the federal rate increases, and so we are seeing already some nice, healthy gains in asian equities. if you look at the indicators that are due later this week at of the u.s., cpi and retail sales, the forecasts indicate again this kind of goldilocks scenario. a little bit of a pickup in retail sales which have been weak the previous month, and a little bit of a softer, or at least no acceleration in consumer price inflation. so it looks like we are going to get some positive economic news, barring surprises, would not keep the scenario in place of growth without necessarily boosting the

usat to have you joining from tokyo. do think there is some value to that there should be conviction all comfort coming through from institutions, that this will all turn out ok? say from my to point of view. clearly, a tradition period until the end of 2020 would make a whole lot of sense. nobody is interested to run any product into the ground in increase efficiency. from a bank point of view what we would like to have is a smooth transition as possible. is smoother brexit as possible. --ertheless, the go shooters the negotiators have a lot. the agreement has been reached on the article 15 deal. we do not really know what would be the solution for the irish border. we have not yet seen an indication of what would be the payment from the united kingdom to the eu. every transition is subject to agreeing on these issues. only happen iny october of this year. we have some time to be able to answer all of this with certainty. i personally really would hope that we would have some -- personally hope we would have a transitio

although some of tokyo's taxidrivers say that they can be disruptive and dangerous. johnny tells me that he has supervised over 200 tours without any serious accidents. but several cab drivers we met still had concerns. last year, a record number of almost 29 million people came to japan and as tokyo gears up to host the olympic games in two years time, the authorities are keen to see the maricar tours continue, but they are looking into how safe they are. new regulations now mean that modifications will have to be made to the go—karts and it is hoped that repositioning tail lights and better back and head protection and mudguards will provide safety for other drivers and road users and pedestrians. tokyo is such a hotbed of trends and innovation and as the birthplace of video games, it would be a shame to see an end to these tours. let's hope the new safety regulations will help keep them on the road here. that was so much fun! i really had a good time. once i started to relax and got used to driving this car it was crazy, i can't believe they let you drive this o

better joins us live now out of tokyo -- patrick joins us live now out of tokyo. has your outlook changed from this time yesterday? isrick: i think it interesting to do a borrow between the federal reserve. the u.s. growth looks to be just under 3%. inflation will start to recover. inflation will be back to target next year or the year after. of course, what they do is consistent with the scenario. if you expect growth to continue just under 3%, then, you can expect inflation to be back to target. as you know, they are neutral rate in the u.s. is at 3%. the fed is driving it to 3% and this is perfectly meaningful and europe. the big issue is whether they are right or not. they can make two mistakes and you just discussed one of them. in the u.s., we see absolutely no sign that inflation would be reappearing. labor costs are very stable. prices will be in the range of six to five and $70 -- safety five dollars and $75. inflation stays where this. 1.5 percent in the u.s. and 1% in europe. issue is that -- the reciprocal position of the economies. you have a lot of t

we have heard caution out of tokyo. we heard from president trump himself tweeting saying this marks great progress. what is your take on this moment we have seen? >> what is surprising is the smileration of the diplomacy by kim jong-un and donald trump. that is more important than the move itself. i will also say the fundamental issues remain. obviously,y, we have no clue abt the commitment of kim jong-un done withe talking south korean representatives. and we do not know what will be the content of the next meeting between kim jong-un and moon. we are in a very unexpected situation. it is difficult to know what will come out of that. if you read the american press, there are people who consider that there are huge risks are taking this move. donald trump is a dealmaker. whiteealmaker, he can say one day and block the next -- black the next. he can change again. anchor: it has been said this is a ploy by pyongyang. what do you say to that? of kim jong-un to create a gap between south korea and the u.s. and also between
