0:00:08 > 0:00:09Hello.

0:00:09 > 0:00:11This is BBC News with Martine Croxall.

0:00:11 > 0:00:14We'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment -

0:00:14 > 0:00:15first the headlines.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18The Prime Minister has come under new pressure from her backbenchers

0:00:18 > 0:00:20over Brexit negotiations - amid reports of a possible

0:00:20 > 0:00:24leadership contest.

0:00:24 > 0:00:27A 28-year-old man has been charged with causing death by dangerous

0:00:27 > 0:00:32driving after a crash that killed three teenagers in west London.

0:00:32 > 0:00:35The leader of Russia's main opposition party has been released

0:00:35 > 0:00:38after he was arrested at a rally calling for a boycott

0:00:38 > 0:00:41of the presidential elections.

0:00:41 > 0:00:45And in Melbourne, Roger Federer has won his sixth Australian Open

0:00:45 > 0:00:48with a victory over Marin Cilic - joining a select group of champions

0:00:48 > 0:00:52to have won 20 Grand Slams.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55And tributes to the father of flatpack furniture -

0:00:55 > 0:01:02Ingvar Kamprad, who founded Ikea, has died at the age of 91.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23You know you have been doing the papers too long when you start

0:01:23 > 0:01:32dancing to that music! With us are broadcaster Natalie Haynes and Rob

0:01:32 > 0:01:39Merrick the deputy political editor of the Independent. Good evening. A

0:01:39 > 0:01:46lot of the front pages RM. -- are in.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48Tomorrow's front pages, starting with The Financial Times, which

0:01:48 > 0:01:51reports that the Brexit negotiations could hit choppy waters over the

0:01:51 > 0:01:53UK's demand to vet new EU laws during the transition period.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56The i has an investigation into the extent of knife

0:01:56 > 0:01:57crime in British schools.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59Theresa May's hold on power is under threat according

0:01:59 > 0:02:01to The Metro amid speculation of a leadership contest.

0:02:01 > 0:02:03"Swivel-eyed" - that's how one senior minister has described

0:02:03 > 0:02:10Brexiteers who opposed the EU divorce bill - the Telegraph claims.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13And The Daily Mirror details the number of babies it says die

0:02:13 > 0:02:21in the UK as a result of sleeping with their parents.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25The Guardian reports that hundreds of thousands of young adults are

0:02:25 > 0:02:29renting properties which are deemed hazardous. In mixed bag of stories

0:02:29 > 0:02:35there. Inevitably, Brexit takes pole position in several of the papers.

0:02:35 > 0:02:42It will thrill us all. A battle over it you lob puts Brexit progress at

0:02:42 > 0:02:49risk is where we will start with the Financial Times -- a battle over it

0:02:49 > 0:02:54you lob puts Brexit at risk. What will happen to the new laws which

0:02:54 > 0:03:00the rest of the EU puts out? Are we meant to take notice?And papers are

0:03:00 > 0:03:05full of the trouble that Theresa May has for the next stage of the

0:03:05 > 0:03:09negotiations and you can say at least she got through phase one,

0:03:09 > 0:03:13that is in the bag, but the story says it is not. Sufficient progress

0:03:13 > 0:03:17means the full details have to be nailed down and that is what is

0:03:17 > 0:03:21happening at the moment and this is a further obstacle. One of the key

0:03:21 > 0:03:29issues is the European Court of Justice. It is a red rag to the ball

0:03:29 > 0:03:35to the Tory Brexiteers. Robin is a red line for the EU is during the

0:03:35 > 0:03:42transition period we will abide by ECJ rulings and also new laws which

0:03:42 > 0:03:52might be made by the ECJ and EU and overseen by the EU. Written is

0:03:52 > 0:03:55arguing they want some sort of halfway house measure where Britain

0:03:55 > 0:03:59would look at the new laws on the grid ECJ rulings itself and decide

0:03:59 > 0:04:04whether they would conflict with our priority is bit the EU will not

0:04:04 > 0:04:08accept that because it is a halfway house. It is an illustration of the

0:04:08 > 0:04:12bind the Prime Minister is still in as she tries to face of the

0:04:12 > 0:04:16Brexiteers on her party who want to be tougher with the EU, but at the

0:04:16 > 0:04:20same time make progress in the negotiations, and it is not clear

0:04:20 > 0:04:25how she squares that circle.Some MPs want to regard it as

0:04:25 > 0:04:28implementation rather than transition which could have

0:04:28 > 0:04:32different connotations but it does not get them off the hook?It does

0:04:32 > 0:04:37not really. The nice thing as it has the characteristics that it makes

0:04:37 > 0:04:41someone's heart sink when they talk about it or think about it or even

0:04:41 > 0:04:46just have their eye caught by a headline across a crowded room. We

0:04:46 > 0:04:51are spending so much time debating things which are fairly minor while

0:04:51 > 0:04:53ignoring things which are quite big. Whether not we will abide by laws

0:04:53 > 0:04:58for what ever will be the transitional period is quite a lot

0:04:58 > 0:05:01less important about whether people who are currently British but live

0:05:01 > 0:05:05in Spain, or from Spain and currently lives in Nottingham, where

0:05:05 > 0:05:09they are going to live. It is a lot less important than that but that is

0:05:09 > 0:05:14what we will get caught up on for months at a time.Shows how

0:05:14 > 0:05:19fiendishly complicated is to get the framework in place. The metro is

0:05:19 > 0:05:25also looking at Brexit and Mrs May's position. Keep calm and hurry up. An

0:05:25 > 0:05:31effort to soothe MPs fail as May is branded a daughter 's.Apparently

0:05:31 > 0:05:37that is not a compliment.Even though they are slow and steady and

0:05:37 > 0:05:47win the race.In the ancient world they were used to make lyres. But

0:05:47 > 0:05:52they were boiled. Comparing one to Theresa May seems like it is not the

0:05:52 > 0:05:58best way.The point is they want to get a move on. I know you were

0:05:58 > 0:06:02desperate to get us away from Brexit!I like tortoise is, I do not

0:06:02 > 0:06:08know what you want from me!You are doing OK. We will call you again.

0:06:08 > 0:06:13This shows that when we talk about Brexit as being the big problem that

0:06:13 > 0:06:16the Prime Minister has got, there are one group of Tory MPs who think

0:06:16 > 0:06:22she's hopeless and failing but there is another group who think she is

0:06:22 > 0:06:27generally inept on every subject and want to come up with some policies

0:06:27 > 0:06:31which will attract attention and support and be ambitious. What

0:06:31 > 0:06:35strikes me is there is another story about a tortoise in the news, one

0:06:35 > 0:06:39which escaped six months ago in Oxfordshire and it has been reunited

0:06:39 > 0:06:44with its family. In six months it has undergone 320 metres but for a

0:06:44 > 0:06:49lot of Tory MPs, that tortoise is making more progress than the Prime

0:06:49 > 0:06:56Minister.Nicely brought back! Break quickly, the Daily Telegraph,

0:06:56 > 0:07:00Minister says Brexiteers opposed to EU bill are swivel. We have heard

0:07:00 > 0:07:08that expression before.Yes, the insult of choice for the left of the

0:07:08 > 0:07:14Tory party -- swivel-eyed loons it was once said by a Cameron Ed. Here

0:07:14 > 0:07:19comes this phrase back from a little known minister called Claire Perry.

0:07:19 > 0:07:26She has previously called Brexit supporters jihadists.This is quite

0:07:26 > 0:07:30a climb-down!What this story shows is how much bitterness there is in

0:07:30 > 0:07:35the Tory party, one wing against another. But someone can use this

0:07:35 > 0:07:40phrase about the Leave about some else in the same party. How does

0:07:40 > 0:07:46Theresa May get out of that?We will stay with the Telegraph. Up to half

0:07:46 > 0:07:52of children obese in parts of the UK.Yes, it is an enormously

0:07:52 > 0:07:57depressing story. The numbers are horrifying, even in the richest

0:07:57 > 0:08:06wards we are looking at 25%. 44% of ten and 11-year-olds in Brent, north

0:08:06 > 0:08:13London, are rabies or overweight. The number is almost half that in

0:08:13 > 0:08:22rematch and upon Thames. The five miles away -- Richmond-upon-Thames.

0:08:22 > 0:08:28Other areas with high levels of excess weight, Barking and Dagenham,

0:08:28 > 0:08:33Wolverhampton and Sandwell. In other words, the correlation between

0:08:33 > 0:08:36obesity and poverty is very high. That does not tell us anything we

0:08:36 > 0:08:40don't already know. The bit we should be worrying about is where

0:08:40 > 0:08:46four fifths of obese children can remain a beast as adults and cut

0:08:46 > 0:08:51life expectancy by ten years. -- remain a beast. Being overweight can

0:08:51 > 0:08:56cost you ten years of your life. They seem to be getting worse the

0:08:56 > 0:09:01numbers.The problem of obesity is getting worse and the key thing is

0:09:01 > 0:09:09the link with poverty. Recently, some figures came out looking at the

0:09:09 > 0:09:13extent of child poverty by local authority. There were some that were

0:09:13 > 0:09:17up at almost 50% for the proportion of children growing up in poverty.

0:09:17 > 0:09:22You would imagine that this match is throw closely what we are seeing

0:09:22 > 0:09:29here.Let's look at the FT. The father of the flatpack, IKEA founder

0:09:29 > 0:09:34and Swedish on to know dies at the age of 91. This is Ingvar Kamprad

0:09:34 > 0:09:38who gave his initials to the company and the part of the country he came

0:09:38 > 0:09:46from. He has revolutionised furniture assembly and furniture

0:09:46 > 0:09:54manufacturer.Before he recently lived and died, we spent no time

0:09:54 > 0:10:00crying and swearing at leftover nuts and bolts. Do you want me to embrace

0:10:00 > 0:10:05him? I cannot do it, I can't bear building flatpack furniture.They

0:10:05 > 0:10:11will come and do it now.Then there will be someone I don't know in my

0:10:11 > 0:10:16flat.It will stop you crying.I will be crying for a different

0:10:16 > 0:10:24reason.And you will have something to sit on when they have gone.There

0:10:24 > 0:10:30was a joke that was made which was in poor taste. It is a classic rags

0:10:30 > 0:10:35to riches story. He founded IT when he was 17 selling postcards and

0:10:35 > 0:10:42pencils and he went on to sales of 38 billion and employing thousands

0:10:42 > 0:10:46of workers.Slightly glossed over the bit where he recruited members

0:10:46 > 0:10:54for the Swedish Nazi party.By September 1945 most people had seen

0:10:54 > 0:11:03the error of his ways.He repudiated it. Before you leave, I have gotten

0:11:03 > 0:11:10Allen key, I would like you to check the legs on the desk. The

0:11:10 > 0:11:15Independent is where we are going next. Roger Federer, the fairy tale

0:11:15 > 0:11:23continues, it says. 36-year-old. That looks so and appealing to me.

0:11:23 > 0:11:28It is quite old for a professional sports person though. It was such a

0:11:28 > 0:11:32great match. I got up really early to run before watching the tennis

0:11:32 > 0:11:38because I love Roger Federer so much. I have been troubled since he

0:11:38 > 0:11:41won at Wimbledon last year, because I find the number 19 troubling so I

0:11:41 > 0:11:47really wanted him to get to 20!It is not one of your things, is it?

0:11:47 > 0:11:53You struggle with prime numbers. We have talked about this before. I

0:11:53 > 0:11:59tried to forget.Mainly I like the bit where he was in floods of tears.

0:11:59 > 0:12:04Poor Marin Cilic who has been beaten us to console him.Everyone is

0:12:04 > 0:12:10saying, can he do it? Can he hold it together? No, he bursts into tears!

0:12:10 > 0:12:16It means so much to him still. What has been rather nice to point out is

0:12:16 > 0:12:22while he is the first man to reach this milestone, he is not the first

0:12:22 > 0:12:26person.Certainly isn't.Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, Margaret

0:12:26 > 0:12:40Court.Three of them.Serena Williams has the most. I like tennis

0:12:40 > 0:12:45too much.Serena Williams is showing the same longevity with the ability

0:12:45 > 0:12:51to win it.How are we doing for time? I am engrossed in what we are

0:12:51 > 0:12:56talking about and not listening to what is being said in my ear. I can

0:12:56 > 0:13:04also hear myself which is slightly discombobulated.You were being

0:13:04 > 0:13:08haunted by headlines which were hovering.I can see things which you

0:13:08 > 0:13:14cannot see. Let's go back to the Daily Telegraph. I feel slightly

0:13:14 > 0:13:18embarrassed doing this story. Put your towel on a sun lounge before

0:13:18 > 0:13:25you even go on holiday. How can you do that?You can do it because you

0:13:25 > 0:13:30can now book it. When you book your holiday you can book your sun lounge

0:13:30 > 0:13:37and make sure they are not all taken when you get there. The joke comes

0:13:37 > 0:13:43in paragraph three where it says the service has been available to

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Germans for three years. So when you come to bucket it may already be

0:13:47 > 0:13:51booked. I suppose the people who booked them use them. The problem is

0:13:51 > 0:13:59when people do not use them.How much does this service cost?It is

0:13:59 > 0:14:05about 25 euros.A day or post a?I don't know. Look how pale skinned I

0:14:05 > 0:14:15am, I do not sit in the sun. I could go somewhere cold and mountainous.

0:14:15 > 0:14:1825 for the lot I think.People do complain a lot about this, not

0:14:18 > 0:14:21having enough access to some loungers. You have to get up very

0:14:21 > 0:14:28early.It does not increase the number of some loungers, does it?I

0:14:28 > 0:14:32do not want to use the phrase rearranging deck chairs on the

0:14:32 > 0:14:38Titanic but we are surely thinking it. There is only a limited number.

0:14:38 > 0:14:51People will be crying sitting on the ground.SPEAKS GERMAN. That is what

0:14:51 > 0:14:55you would say in German. You should ask in the language of the country

0:14:55 > 0:15:02you are visiting. That is it for the Papers now.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

0:15:05 > 0:15:06on the BBC News website.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09It's all there for you - 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers -

0:15:20 > 0:15:21very much.
