0:00:00 > 0:00:01as well. It starts, settles, then it gets too wet and windy in the middle
0:00:01 > 0:00:04part of the week, then it turns much, much colder. Loads going on,
0:00:04 > 0:00:13we have the full nine yards on the website.
0:00:14 > 0:00:14Hello.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16This is BBC News.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment.
0:00:19 > 0:00:20First, the headlines:
0:00:20 > 0:00:23On the eve of a crucial meeting for the Prime Minister in Brussels,
0:00:24 > 0:00:26a group of leading Brexiteers, demand guarantees, before any
0:00:26 > 0:00:33"Divorce Bill" is paid.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35All four board members of the government's
0:00:35 > 0:00:38Social Mobility Commission have resigned in protest of what they see
0:00:38 > 0:00:40as a lack of progress towards a "fairer Britain."
0:00:40 > 0:00:48The White House says North Korea's nuclear ambitions pose "the greatest
0:00:48 > 0:00:51threat to the United States, and to the world."
0:00:51 > 0:00:54A lorry driver who crashed into stationary traffic on the M6
0:00:54 > 0:00:57after falling asleep at the wheel is jailed for 16 months.
0:00:57 > 0:00:59Sky-watchers can begin catching glimpses of this month's
0:00:59 > 0:01:16"super-moon" when the Moon appears larger and brighter in the sky.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19Brothers, Dave and James Franco star in the Disaster Artist about another
0:01:19 > 0:01:27film, The Room. Find out what me and Mark Kermode think about them in The
0:01:27 > 0:01:27Film Review.
0:01:27 > 0:01:31Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:01:31 > 0:01:32bringing us tomorrow.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34With me is the deputy political editor of the Independent,
0:01:34 > 0:01:37Rob Merrick, and the author and broadcaster, Natalie Haynes.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39Tomorrow's front pages, starting with this.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Thank you for coming in in and thank you for staying for the second
0:01:43 > 0:01:52review.That is OK to do.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56A number of tomorrow's front pages look ahead to the Prime Minister's
0:01:56 > 0:01:58meeting with the President of the European Commission
0:01:58 > 0:01:59in Brussels tomorrow.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02The Times reports claims that the UK and the European Union are "90%"
0:02:02 > 0:02:06there on a deal that would open the door for transition and trade
0:02:06 > 0:02:07talks on Brexit this month.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10The Independent reports on fears from MEPs that the future rights
0:02:10 > 0:02:14of EU citizens in the UK and Britons in the EU are being forgotten
0:02:14 > 0:02:15as a deal gets closer.
0:02:15 > 0:02:19The Express says Theresa May faces a backbench revolt if she gives more
0:02:19 > 0:02:20concessions to the EU.
0:02:20 > 0:02:22The Financial Times says the Prime Minister is set
0:02:22 > 0:02:24for a momentous day in Brussels.
0:02:24 > 0:02:27It also reports that there has been a surge in Swiss banks' reporting
0:02:28 > 0:02:29of suspicious activity by Saudi clients.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Some of the papers, like the Guardian, are leading
0:02:32 > 0:02:33on research from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36which found almost 400,000 more children and 300,000 more over-65s
0:02:36 > 0:02:39were living in poverty last year than in 2012-2013.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41The i has the same story, describing a "poverty time
0:02:41 > 0:02:42bomb" for pensioners.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45The Daily Mirror says the report exposes Theresa May's pledge
0:02:45 > 0:02:46to tackle poverty as a sham.
0:02:47 > 0:02:48The Telegraph focuses on the virtual currency,
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Bitcoin, saying there will be a crack-down amid concern
0:02:51 > 0:03:02it is being used to launder money and dodge tax.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08Looking at tomorrow and the Brussels meeting. Brexit is 90% complete.
0:03:08 > 0:03:08Things are
0:03:08 > 0:03:12meeting. Brexit is 90% complete. Things are apparently going quickly.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14We were thinking we were nowhere near trade.
0:03:17 > 0:03:25It looks 90% absent 20 minutes ago. It was casually mentioned by an
0:03:25 > 0:03:31unnamed official. Work is needed to find a formula to satisfy Ireland.
0:03:31 > 0:03:39Apparently we are not bothered about the Good Friday Agreement. That is
0:03:39 > 0:03:42surprising considering Theresa May and the DUP.They don't want to
0:03:42 > 0:03:48border between Ireland and the rest of the country.Theresa May is in a
0:03:48 > 0:03:57bind.She has to satisfy the Dublin government and the EU, guaranteeing
0:03:57 > 0:04:07they will not be a hard border after Brexit. But she cannot say she is
0:04:07 > 0:04:15more aligned with Dublin than London. After saying that, I don't
0:04:15 > 0:04:23understand how they can be 90% there.Perhaps they are rounding up.
0:04:23 > 0:04:29In order to get to phase two, they don't have to reach agreement. They
0:04:29 > 0:04:36just need sufficient progress.That is a very wide margin.Progress is
0:04:36 > 0:04:43whatever they decide it is. They want to move on to trade. The bar to
0:04:43 > 0:04:52is lower than an agreement. -- to clear. The government wants to have
0:04:52 > 0:04:56a two year transition deal. They recognise not everything will be
0:04:56 > 0:05:06ready by March 2018. They could be talking about a transition deal even
0:05:06 > 0:05:10if not enough has been done to talk about trade.One of the big issues
0:05:10 > 0:05:14with the divorce bill in the Irish border was supposed to be the rights
0:05:14 > 0:05:20of citizens. Apparently they are at risk.We want to focus on other
0:05:20 > 0:05:26issues. It seems to have slipped down the pecking order. What we
0:05:26 > 0:05:31picked up from Brussels was a series of meetings MEPs have had with the
0:05:31 > 0:05:38chief negotiator for the commission, the belief that the EU is willing to
0:05:38 > 0:05:44compromise too much and keep these issues into phase two. There might
0:05:44 > 0:05:50not be guarantees EU citizens desperately want. The legal right to
0:05:50 > 0:05:58stay would still be in doubt if the UK left without a deal. They say
0:05:58 > 0:06:02they should focus separately on making sure they can leave and stay.
0:06:02 > 0:06:08Even if that agreement is reached, there is the family reunification
0:06:08 > 0:06:12rights, the rights of those born after Brexit, whether they will be
0:06:12 > 0:06:16overseen by the European Court of Justice rather than the Home Office,
0:06:16 > 0:06:22which many Conservative MPs are suspicious of. Many were told
0:06:22 > 0:06:26wrongly they are being told to leave the country when they have a right
0:06:26 > 0:06:30to stay.Many are choosing not to come in the first place now.The
0:06:30 > 0:06:35trouble is it is equally awful, I would imagine, being a British
0:06:35 > 0:06:38citizen living on mainland Europe not knowing what your rights will be
0:06:38 > 0:06:43in a few years' time. These individual people are quite easily
0:06:43 > 0:06:50swept aside in pursuit of a greater gains believed by those negotiating.
0:06:50 > 0:06:54These are actual lives of people thrown into complete disarray for
0:06:54 > 0:06:58years to come because no one is prepared to stand up and say you
0:06:58 > 0:07:02want to stay there and you want to stay here and you can tell each
0:07:02 > 0:07:08other out. You are welcome. -- you cancel each other. That seems like
0:07:08 > 0:07:12it quick and easy thing to fix. If you cannot get that thing done, I
0:07:12 > 0:07:17don't fill terrific about borders and trade.The headlines are
0:07:17 > 0:07:25optimistic. A French warship berths. The French are coming to the rescue.
0:07:25 > 0:07:36We would have a more fun story if this weren't the FT. We may be
0:07:36 > 0:07:44getting rid of amphibious craft due to cuts. The French still have some.
0:07:44 > 0:07:52Our marines could go and train on them because we will have a couple
0:07:52 > 0:07:58of rafts and perhaps a canoe.We should not joke. It is serious.But
0:07:58 > 0:08:02it is a bit funny when it becomes clear that in the words of Nicks
0:08:02 > 0:08:13Childs, we may have deficits in shipping is, ie, we will have none,
0:08:13 > 0:08:24but we have a world-renowned force in the Marines. The French have the
0:08:24 > 0:08:28ships, but their Marines are in the Army. There is room for cooperation.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31They have ships and we have the people to put on them. This could
0:08:31 > 0:08:43work.Unless everyone needs them at the same time.Yeah.You have to put
0:08:43 > 0:08:49a downer on it.This would be a big story if it was a normal week.We
0:08:49 > 0:08:53have not had one for a while. Conservative MPs are not happy about
0:08:53 > 0:09:03defence cuts. Money is being spent on cyber warfare and Triton. People
0:09:03 > 0:09:09will say that troops are not needed any more. Looking at the state of
0:09:09 > 0:09:18the Western world, people might think closer communication between
0:09:18 > 0:09:24allies. But many people in this country are suspicious of what they
0:09:24 > 0:09:31see as a euro Defence Force.The Guardian. A sharp rise in child
0:09:31 > 0:09:37poverty as cuts bite. We had a mass resignation of the board of the
0:09:37 > 0:09:42Social Mobility Commission. They said he would not be replaced
0:09:42 > 0:09:49anyway. But the prospect is that things will get worse for those who
0:09:49 > 0:09:54are already poor.They are devastating figures, no doubt about
0:09:54 > 0:09:58it. The first thing to point out is this is the first increase in child
0:09:58 > 0:10:05poverty in 20 years. They found 700,000 more young people and
0:10:05 > 0:10:10pensioners are living beneath the bread line. If you think that is
0:10:10 > 0:10:15bad, a separate study for the Institute for Fiscal Studies said
0:10:15 > 0:10:195.2 million children will be living in poverty in the next five years.
0:10:19 > 0:10:26It is a truly terrifying figure. The figures out today, 700,000, this has
0:10:26 > 0:10:30already happened already in the last four years. The criticism of the
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Prime Minister is she made that speech everyone admired in Downing
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Street when she took over. She said the government would look after the
0:10:37 > 0:10:43downtrodden not the favoured few. But the criticism is clearly that
0:10:43 > 0:10:47she just made a speech without action.Austerity is not over.A
0:10:47 > 0:10:55long way to go of it. As I said, the numbers being quoted are just
0:10:55 > 0:10:58horrifying. 30% of children in poverty. How can that possibly be
0:10:58 > 0:11:03true? That number just seems so incredibly high. But the increase is
0:11:03 > 0:11:08700,000. That is not the net figure. The net figure is one in five. 40
0:11:08 > 0:11:17million people living at 60% of median income. It is a terrifying
0:11:17 > 0:11:21number. These are actual real-life people who cannot cope with pay
0:11:21 > 0:11:26freezes and the rising cost of living. None of these things are
0:11:26 > 0:11:31likely to change any time soon. If austerity was lightened, the cost of
0:11:31 > 0:11:42living ceasing to rise, seems optimistic.The best before date in
0:11:42 > 0:11:54a bid to cut waste. This is the Coop.Apparently they will be
0:11:54 > 0:12:01selling food after best before dates including chips and lollies. It was
0:12:01 > 0:12:05previously being sent to landfill. Now it will be just reduced in
0:12:05 > 0:12:14price. As we know, best before race not same as use by. You will not be
0:12:14 > 0:12:19poisoned by a slightly stale crisp. You will just get some calories you
0:12:19 > 0:12:24need for 10p as you are already suffering as we read from the
0:12:24 > 0:12:32previous story. It seems like a little bit of progress to reduce
0:12:32 > 0:12:38waste and give food to people who are in poverty. I don't think that
0:12:38 > 0:12:42is a good solution, but it is better to do that than not do it.Many
0:12:42 > 0:12:47people who can afford to pay full price will say it is a good idea to
0:12:47 > 0:12:54stop the waste as well.It is a positive thing. One supermarket,
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Coop, they will do it and others will follow it.Wonky veg is
0:12:59 > 0:13:10another. I got a wonky carrot and a wonky cauliflower.It is a broad
0:13:10 > 0:13:14church where you live.They look funny but they are OK when you cut
0:13:14 > 0:13:20them up. We will finish with the Guardian. Air pollution stops play
0:13:20 > 0:13:28in Delhi test match.I liked this story.Go on.Dramatic riches of Sri
0:13:28 > 0:13:34Lankan players with gas masks. -- pictures. Everyone knows the air
0:13:34 > 0:13:40quality is horrific death and I would not want to live or a play or
0:13:40 > 0:13:44bowl fast in those conditions. But as you get to the bottom of the
0:13:44 > 0:13:47story, skulduggery is afoot.Yes. That is according to the chairman of
0:13:47 > 0:13:54the English Cricket Board. He says there was a point where Sri Lankan
0:13:54 > 0:13:58players were put in gas masks and fast bowlers were unwilling to ball.
0:13:58 > 0:14:05They got 507 runs. India felt obliged to declare at that point
0:14:05 > 0:14:12because the Sri Lankans would not bowl at them. They came out to bat
0:14:12 > 0:14:18and were not wearing gas masks. That is when the Indian board said if for
0:14:18 > 0:14:22the 7000 people in the stance did not have a problem and the England
0:14:22 > 0:14:28team did not have it, why did the English team make a farce? --
0:14:28 > 0:14:37stands.Last year in November they had to stop two tests. In defence of
0:14:37 > 0:14:42those who exercise in terrible weather when we should not, it is
0:14:42 > 0:14:45much harder if you are running because you are breathing more
0:14:45 > 0:14:49deeply. I cannot imagine what it is like for the pollution to be so bad
0:14:49 > 0:14:54you are, and I quote, vomiting continuously. I do like the word
0:14:54 > 0:15:13skulduggery.It is not quite a body line my favourite bit of Australian
0:15:13 > 0:15:23sledging is when someone was swatting flies and they said hey,
0:15:23 > 0:15:28leave those flies alone. Ending on an anecdote. Thank you for coming
0:15:28 > 0:15:33in. Coming up now, the film
