I want to apologise for my bad voice because of the weather. The People Living here, the most polluted capital of the world, we are all suffering like this. In order to ease the polluted air the government announced rationing of the traffic system. Registration number plates of cars to apply on odd and even days, a registration card with an odd number will apply on alternate days. This is just odd number will apply on alternate days. This isjust to reduce the project pollution levels but the major pollutants are the stubble thatis major pollutants are the stubble that is being burnt in different parts of northern india and that wind is coming to delhi, the capital and that is why there is a layer of smog across the area. Excuse me, this is 14 times higher than the prescribed safe limit if the statistics and the equality air quality monitor are to be believed. It was around 708 during the evening, 14 times more than the prescribed level considered to be a serious category.

The last ever leader of the soviet union, Mikhail Gorbachev, has warned that tension between russia and the west is putting the world in colossal danger because of the threat of Nuclear Weapons. He was speaking with our moscow correspondent, steve rosenberg, to mark 30 years since the fall of the berlin wall. These days it is rare to see Mikael Gorbachev in front of a camera. At 88 years old he avoids the limelight. Im slowing down, he tells me. I can barely stand up to but the man who helped to end the cold war has a message for the world. That his achievements are at risk. And one of his greatest achievements was ending the arms race between the soviet union and america. His diplomatic double act with Ronald Reagan slashed the two superpowers National Nuclear arsenals. But the arms race has reignited. There is new tension and fierce rivalry between moscow and the west. How dangerous do you think the west. How dangerous do you think the current confrontation is between russia and the west . Translation long as weapons of mass destruction exist, Nuclear Weapons, the danger is colossal. All nations should declare. All nations. Nuclear weapons must be destroyed. To save ourselves, and our planet. In the past we used to talk about the cold war. How would you describe the current stand off tween russia and the west . Chile, but still a war. Look at what is happening. In different places there are skirmishes. There are shooting. Ships and aircraft are being sent here there and everywhere. This is a situation we do not need. It was gorbachevs reforms at home that inspired millions across Eastern Europe to rise up against communism. He did nothing to stop it. But 30 yea rs he did nothing to stop it. But 30 years ago, how did he react when the berlin wall fell and east and west germany were set to reunite . There must not be bloodshed. That was our name. We could not allow that. 0ver an issue of such magnitude for germany and for us, for europe. The whole world. So we declared we would not interfere. From iron curtains two iron ladies he famously hit it off with margaret thatcher. But what does gorbachev make of brexit . Translation you can figure that one out yourself. You british are clever clogs. I will not give you advice. You decide. So not only a president that a true diplomat. Lets brief you on some of the other stories making the news a Cross Party Group of british mps has called on the government to reassess its approach to illegal migration, following the discovery of 39 people in the back of a lorry last month. The British Government says its working extensively with its International Partners to solve migration issues.

The chief executive of the fast food company, mcdonalds, has been sacked for having a consensual relationship with an employee. The company said Steve Easterbrook had demonstrated poorjudgement and that it was against Company Rules for managers to become romantically involved with a subordinate. Joining me now is eileen burbidge, a partner at passion capital. Wonderful to have you with us this morning. The chief executive, Steve Easterbrook, was seen as someone who really. Not turned the company around, that is too strong, but gave ita around, that is too strong, but gave it a boost. He has been ceo since 2015 and over the last 11. 5 years the share price of the company has basically doubled, prophets have taken ahead and the companies scheduled to release the latest Quarterly Results this week which is when they will announce the new ceo pay packet and perhaps that severance. Pay packet and perhaps that severance. He was definitely credited for forging the company ahead and investing in technology and thinking about what customers really wa nt. And thinking about what customers really want. So those digital kiosks, that is all his fault. We dont have to deal with a being until you get your food. Dont have to deal with a being until you get yourfood. And, as you say, things like teaming up with over a and many interesting and innovative ideas which is what mcdonalds needed. Absolutely. Other chains, takeaway chains, need to innovate because you are competing with more options that are becoming more convenient with better price targeting and healthier. So the restau ra nts targeting and healthier. So the restaurants are struggling and definitely when he was in the uk, he rose to the rate ranks through the uk first and then moved across to be global brand officer and then ceo. He revamped stores and franchises and unfortunately just did not abide by the companys code of conduct. It is interesting how we see culture change atop levels within corporations globally. Ever since the hashtag me to movements it is very important to make sure it is a consensual relationship, we must make certain that everybody realises that this was a consensual relationship between easterbrook and the woman. But companies now feel they need to call things out. And i think that is right. It is right for corporations and broad boards to hold executives to account. It between 15 and 20 million a year in compensation, he is meant to demonstrate that he represented the company but the fact is, the question is how consensual can it really be, given his position as power as chief executive of the company and is that unfair or inappropriate, given the woman situation and what her role at the company would be if she had a real opportunity to decide whether or not she wanted to engage in there. Opportunity to decide whether or not she wanted to engage in therem opportunity to decide whether or not she wanted to engage in there. It is an interesting story and we have not heard from the woman at all. Steve has said he agrees that it was a poor decision on his part.
