Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

With me are Pippa Crerar, Political Correspondent

at the London Evening Standard, and Dave Wooding, Political Editor

The I picks up on the closing day of this round of Brexit talks,

saying that the two sides can't agree an exit bill for the UK.

The Guardian focuses on how free movement of people may continue

Brexit also makes the Telegraph's front page - the paper says foreign

criminals will be able to stay in the UK after the UK

The Times also leads on Brexit - and also mentions the former

American Football star OJ Simpson being granted parole.

The Mirror runs with an investigation into the police

questioning children caught carrying knives.

The Daily Mail claims some BBC stars benefit by avoiding tax.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are on The Sun's front page,

noting a child's practical joke during a photo op

And the Express runs with a study claiming that snorning has been

We will discuss some of those right now and let's kick off with the

times and they have got OJ Simpson, a face from the past, 70 years old

and just been given parole after serving nearly nine years. Acquitted

for the murder of his wife but jailed for an armed robbery. It is a

real-life soap opera going on for 22 years, 22 years since he was cleared

of double murder of his ex-wife, and no prisoner appeared before the

parole board were all the drama of the American legal system, all

before the cameras. The case nine, ten years ago was of kidnap and

using a deadly weapon and robbery involving memorabilia which he

claimed was his own memorabilia that the man was attempting to steal. He

served the sentence, nine out of 33 years and is now a reformed man, he

says, but not without a flash of temper in front of the judges when

he suggested that it wasn't his memorabilia that he was trying to

get back. But for the younger generation that maybe don't remember

the original trial and all the drama, there was a dramatisation

recently on TV recreating the whole thing so he is familiar notary a lot

of people. Many more so than just people who remember the first time

round. The thing I really remember was that the trial was of course

televised. In this country they are not, and it became almost a soap

opera playing out, even though it was actually happening and that

1.100 million people tuned in. That is a huge number and prime-time TV

doesn't get that. Then one that was subsequently a civil case against

him where ended up being asked to pay 33 million in the judgment to

one of the victims' families, that wasn't on television, and the judge

made the controversial decision that it should use artist sketches and

once again back on our screens, and is it real? Actually happening. It

is astonishing. And he was incredibly grateful and said thank

you to the pro Commissioners. Let's go on to Brexit which is once again

across most of the front pages including the Times. Very

interesting story, looking like a briefing from the Treasury saying

Theresa May is ready to offer EU citizens free movement to Britain

for up to two years after Brexit and this is Philip Hammond's plans.

Philip Hammond for some time has been pushing for the transitional

arrangements or we don't suddenly reach a cliff edge at the end of

talks. Key to this story and find this briefing is about free movement

and the Times suggests that previously had Brexit ears and the

Cabinet have been won over. It is interesting the language used, that

now the Chancellor believes he has won them around. It indicates the

briefing comes from the Treasury. He talks about borders being open for

two years after Brexit. The Guardian talks about up to four years of free

movement and later downgrades to three, so irrespective of how long

it ends up being, the fact that Philip Hammond from this perspective

seems to be coming at the vector is the remainders, the soft Brexit. A

sort of struggle with the Cabinet between hard and soft Brexit, is

that right? I think it is quite a positive move. We never expected is

going to be all hard or soft Brexit. Hard and soft at the same time? We

talk about a garden thriving in the new sunshine after Brexit. Some will

flourish, some will die. What we are seeing is a bit of give and take so

we are not going to get a complete end to free movement. Neither are we

going to get it continuing but what we get is a bit of give and take. It

shows the negotiations are starting to take shape. Very poetic analogy.

The Telegraph also going on Brexit but with a different angle, foreign

criminals staying after Brexit. This is based around one of the key

elements discussed today. This was Britain's desire for every EU

national resident in the UK to be granted this settled status, if they

have been here for five years, a criminal record check, and the

concern from the EU that actually that would undermine the rights, it

would be unlawful to have a blanket criminal records check on everybody,

and the angle the Telegraph has taken is that without this check,

how would British authorities and all who was here and therefore

foreign criminals who may have committed crimes overseas could be

permitted to stay, which is one of the big controversial issues in the

Brexit campaign, of Britain be gaining the power to be able to send

people back to wherever they came from. And in the middle of all of

this, Theresa May, we're hearing, going off hiking for three weeks,

going on a three-week walking holiday to Italy and Switzerland

with her husband Philip. It was when she was walking before that she

changed her mind, famously, about having a general election, which

didn't work out too well. The Cabinet will be hoping she doesn't

make any big decisions on the Alps this time because that is what she

did in Snowdonia, calling the election but resulted in losing the

majority. She will be crossing the free border between Italy and

Switzerland with her husband for three weeks. Speculation over who is

minding the shop while she is away. Damian Green is first minute of

state so during the summer last year Boris Johnson had a short term in

charge. I can't see that's been repeated this time somehow. You'd

editor was saying she is a dead woman walking not long ago but she

is still hanging on. How do you rate her chances of prime ministerial

survival at the moment? Not brilliant but every day she clings

on makes it a little bit easier for her. The biggest things in her

favour are Brexit negotiations and the fear of having somebody else

take over that the talks end up falling apart one where another

because somebody new comes in, and the more important one when it comes

to the Conservative Party as there would be huge pressure for the new

leader to holding your election and they are terrified it leads to

Jeremy Corbyn. The daily Mirror has a front-page seeing cops quiz kids

age four and this is an angle on the rising crime story we have been

reporting all day. The matter have focused on on the numbers of people

carrying knives, a big problem in this country, I am sure not that

many aged four, but never the less they have highlighted the declining

age. What I find more alarming is the overall rise in violent crime,

up by 18%, sexual crimes by 40%, and public disorder by 39%. I would

suggest Labour seize upon this if these figures, it before prime

ministers questions yesterday. The cause of the issue of police

numbers. The Conservatives cut police numbers because crime had

been falling. My view personally is that if the signs are that crime is

rising then you have to increase numbers. And of course Labour won't

let the Conservatives forget that the Prime Minister was Home

Secretary had a long period and were substantial changes such as her

shift on the government stance on stop and search which lots of people

have suggested might have contributed to a rise in more young

people carrying knives, emboldened because they are less likely to be

stopped by the police. We have also got the Guardian was an interesting

story about the Muslim mother launching legal action against her

daughter's school after being told she could not way they face veil

while visiting the premises. The story was around the other week

about face veils. This is quite an interesting one because it is not a

teacher wearing the veil, it is the mother of the pupil, and she has

basically been told, you're not welcome wearing a face veil. I

suppose the school has a right to do it but it seems a little harsh of it

as a mother. We are not secular France, we respect the religious

right to wear what you want and it was a school premises but she is not

in a position of authority. This is Holland Park School. The socialist

Eastern. All eyes, the Guardian very interested in what is going on, so

we will watch how it all plays out. The last front pages the Daily

Express and they are seeing snoring can put people at greater risk of

developing dementia, researchers have discovered. Scientists found

that those who suffer difficulties breathing during their sleep at

higher risk of brain function decline. It seems that snoring is

linked to the brain's inability to believe is while one is sleeping, it

says about a fifth the people have this issue. It is an early warning

system. I guess this sort of scientific discovery gives

scientists and medical professionals more chance of finding ways to

tackle this complaint. It is interesting the number of front

pages you see on Alzheimer's and dementia as obviously the incidence

of them are increasing as the population is getting older. Every

day there is a story about a potential breakthrough. Yesterday we

had stories about how you should exercise your brain more, do Spanish

crossword puzzles, so it is something people are interested more

in as they see the scale. And a lot of advice on how to avoid it, more

exercise kind of thing. It is good the to-do has gone as it has on many

things in life and people are less ashamed of it talking mental

illness. And a little bird tells me you have a bit of a snoring issue?

So I am told. I have to lie on my side. Mrs Wooding has communicated

that! The nation needs to know these kinds of things! I am sure it is not

to load. the front pages of the papers online

on the BBC News website. It's all there for you -

seven days a week. And if you miss the programme any

evening you can watch it Good evening. A fairly unsettled

outlook for the next few days with low pressure moving in. We saw some

heavy showers during Thursday and here
