wintry than we have been used to distract the week. windy spell for next week, that bad spell midweek but later gone but later gone for thursday and friday, some of us could even get snow. hello, this is bbc news with nicholas owen. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines. labour has called on the government to give the health service an emergency cash injection of £700 million. it comes after the british red cross warned of a humanitarian crisis at hospitals. au.s. a u.s. army veteran is income the after five people were shot dead at fort lauderdale airport in florida. the british—born great—grandmother was one of those killed. many people have been killed in a bomb blast in northern syria. it is thought islamic state are to blame, they are not part of the ceasefire. rain rooney has scored his 249th
10:31 pm
goal, matching bobby charlton's previous ritual. —— previous record. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the sun's deputy head of sport, martin lipton, and martin bentham, home affairs editor at the evening standard. tomorrow's front pages: the observer says the prime minister is under pressure this weekend to announce an emergency nhs rescue plan to parliament. writing in the sunday telegraph, theresa may says the government has a duty to step in and tackle injustice. the sunday times leads with britain's former ambassador to the eu, ivan rogers, meeting with david cameron before christmas to warn him that theresa may was botching brexit. the sunday express says the man set to become donald trump's ambassador to the eu has revealed that he supported brexit and declared: "i love the uk."
10:32 pm
the mail on sunday features israeli officials allegedly caught making a vow to take down borisjohnson's foreign office deputy. and the sun on sunday feature a story of a man, who was born a girl 20 years ago, being four months pregnant. let's start with the sunday telegraph. this is to reason me, i think she has written a piece inside and the front page is taking experts from it. think she has written a piece inside and the front page is taking experts from it. the shared society, not the big society. this appears to be to reason me's mission statement in setting up the platform for and, almost. along article, by the look of it, inside. the shared society is the theme. it does seem reminiscent
10:33 pm
of david cameron and his big society, doesn't it? it doesn't give mea society, doesn't it? it doesn't give me a lot of excitement in terms of watching is actually saying. this is the thing about, we don't want to give out a hand—out, and want to give out a hand—out, and want to give a hand up, world this is about giving a handshake. everyone should be nice to each other and it is the business of government to make sure we are all nice. actually, it is a defining difference between her and david cameron. actually, she sees this as defining thing in her whole conservative philosophy which is very different from what david cameron had and also different from margaret cho who she is sometimes compared to four the obvious reason that she is the female prime minister of this company. she she does talk further down first of all
10:34 pm
about there is a society, for a star, which is interesting in itself, and then talking about it is the job of government to tackle the increasing lack of affordability in housing, fixing the markets, an interesting position for a conservative, she has said she is not all about individuals and self—interest which is always the allegations thrown at the conservatives, that is what they are about, very individualistic party, and she is saying there is a role for intervention, the government is trying to assist and we are going to get a series of speeches... this is all about exploiting the weakness of labour. what she is setting up is, yes, i'm listening to you, i understand the country, the people of this country are unhappy, they feel the elite are in control and not listening to them, i will listen to you, i will give you a platform
10:35 pm
to you, i will give you a platform to be the country we all wanted to be, almost, and, by the way, i can do something about it, not that other lot who are sliding into irrelevance. there is also a role for government to do this which is also a fundamental change. david cameron's big society was about people outside of society doing things where she is saying government itself can do some of these things. there is a big gap between the government saying they will do them and achieving them and doing them and that is the test she will face over the coming years. brexit doesn't get much of a mention. let's go on to the sunday times, though, let's go to you, ben. this is sir ivan rogers, he hasjust quit as the european union ambassador, and apparently he secretly met a bit camera that allsorts of things. it is saying that david cameron shares the same concerns that ivan rogers has about the risk of britain facing a
10:36 pm
disorderly exit from the european union and they are both concerned about this may have this meeting before sir ivan rogers made this rather dramatic resignation earlier this week. they have had this concerned that there is going to be, rogers says he thinks weenie to plan for a disorderly works it and number ten... and david cameron is concern about the same type of thing. of course we don't know that that is the case. i suppose the document is that the interesting thing is to say that the interesting thing is to say that he has been plotting and conniving, allegedly, that is the subject of this, with david cameron. there has been an increasing schism in the time since she replaced as leader of the party, this will only
10:37 pm
exacerbate that. really, it will be seen that her predecessor was happily working with someone who may be seen by government to be undermining government. the alarming phraseology talks about heading for up phraseology talks about heading for up carcrash, sir phraseology talks about heading for up car crash, sir ivan rogers. mutually assured destruction. quite cataclysmic. let's stick with the observer. uk at risk of brexit trade catastrophe. this is something to do with someone from canada the canadians are usually rather smooth talkers and very friendly, but that doesn't sound very friendly as tall. this is coming from the observer and to coina this is coming from the observer and to coin a phrase, they would do, wouldn't they? taking the neck at its side of any exit argument. an interesting... what does he say? he
10:38 pm
is basically saying that the dangers of the badly done deal or no deal will be extremely grim for the prospects of the uk economy going forward , prospects of the uk economy going forward, which of course, many people do fear. he is playing to a particular audience here. what we don't really get if he alleges that written is at risk of catastrophic brexit because the government is so dismissive of experts but i am not sure they are. we don't really know what the government position is yet. also, i'm not sure they are dismissive. i think the government truly quite aware of the need to continue and try to maintain our trading links and of course how they do that is a very difficult issue and part of what he is talking here is of course the canadian deal with the eu took an awful lot of work and
10:39 pm
belief are done at the last minute and has just been signed and sealed. and we will have to do eels with all other countries rather than as one block as before. as i say, i'm not sure that his allegation that the government is not where of these risks is actually accurate. the real question is whether they can achieve it. it talks about this terrible long timescale, this business about things taking possibly a decade. that sounds alarming. some people say even if we had no trade eel, we could operate in the world. we trade with the united states, we can work on wto rules, we trade with the us under those rules and some people say that the wii and adequate position to be in. whether that is true or not is another issue. this strange story in a mail on sunday, the royal plot to take down tory minister. it is all based on something going on in a restaurant.
10:40 pm
apparently, the target was very un—keen on the things that sir alec duncan has been saying and it is a strange one, isn't it? a little bit is that all cattle over the dinner table. —— titled cattle. we don't have any independent view of the commons. she will be asked questions of what she actually said. her comment at the end is it was purely a social meeting with the israeli official and it wasjust chatting about politics, many years people do it. one thing important thing is that this evening, the israeli ambassador to london has
10:41 pm
apologised for the comment made other deputy during down this alan duncan. it is a tremendous tory because it revealed that his ology eyes for this contact, suggesting they should take down the second most senior minister in the foreign office in the grounds that boris johnson doesn't matter because according to him he is an idiot, and then, he says because alan duncan has been proposed union, he wants to ta ke has been proposed union, he wants to take him down. that is quite an inflammatory thing for a department to say. —— to come out. inflammatory thing for a department to say. -- to come out. there will be percussions. if he has been sent home, that says a lot. let's go back to the observer. the british red cross saying deb is a humanitarian crisis in the nhs may urge to get a grip on the nhs. is it a
10:42 pm
humanitarian crisis? it does seem somewhat hyperbolic statement by the red cross which in some way diminishing the issues. there are genuine humanitarian crises on the planet and whilst there are issues with the nhs, this doesn't really equate to any of those and i think this is rather foolish and inflammatory language, given there isa inflammatory language, given there is a clear issues in the way the nhs is a clear issues in the way the nhs is one of the moment, the problems being caused by the budgetary position and the pressures the services are under and the hospitals and gps are having problems. in other circumstances, the government might hold its feet marble more aggressively to the flame than it has been. things do sound pretty ghastly, record breaking closures in a&e department. this one does seem
10:43 pm
more serious. things have been building upfor more serious. things have been building up for some time. you can argue about the funding and so on, and obviously, labour makes a big play of that and the junior doctors you talk to only on this evening, they make a big play of that as well. there is also the underlying problem of more people, the published is getting older, people's general levels of eating and so on are general levels of eating and so on a re a ccesses general levels of eating and so on are accesses and therefore, there are accesses and therefore, there are increased problems of obesity. there are all sorts of problems. and then, you've got gps under pressure. all those things are combining in a toxic cocktail. it's a complicated problem to solve. we have to give you this one, mr lipton. wayne rooney, he's smiling, waving, because, tell us why. he has scored his 249th goal for manchester so if he scores one more, he will be the
10:44 pm
record—breaking scorer for england and manchester united and in both cases, he will have overtaken the re cord cases, he will have overtaken the record set by sir bobby charlton. he could have scored another one. he has done it in far fewer games. about 200 fewer games. it's a terrific achievement, it is proof of his enduring ability and also his longevity. he played his debut for united in 2004, and he has scored goals for 12 years, and he may not be in his prime, may not be the player he was four or five years ago, he still remains and emma matic player in english football as well. i think the actual 240 nights, he didn't even kick it, it came off his knee or his shin. he'll take that! asa
