amid concerns about rising costs. there is certainly no question over the british grand prix this year, next year, or 2019. this is all about 2020 onwards. there have been some changes in formula 1, some new owners coming in. we don't know those guys but we hope to have discussions shortly and we would like to continue running formula 1 at silverstone. what about the circuit and what lies ahead with the sale? that has been in the media. any update in terms of a new buyer for silverstone? we are at the stage where we have had some good trading results over the last few months and we are feeling that the pressure is slightly off us. not completely, some issues, longer term, that need addressing. it has perhaps given us some time to pause for thought and review where we are because things
10:41 pm
have changed. the situation has changed with the new owners coming in and actually we have one or two things coming our way. it's the start of another week of preparation for the home nations as they look ahead to the second round of fixtures in the six nations this weekend. wales top the table on points difference at the moment but ahead of a crucial match against england, captain alun wynjones has been preparing a little differently. he's been pulling pints of ale wyn, which is being served in pubs around wales in his honour. his side have a tight turnaround to prepare for that england game on saturday — they have some injury concerns and only six days to recover. we could make a big fuss and say it's going to make the difference but that would be an excuse. as domestic teams and regions we do that quite often, short turnarounds with more games. it's something you have to deal with. it is an added
10:42 pm
intensity, physicality at international level but we experience it in the season and we've just got to get on with it. that's all from sportsday. you can get more on the website, good night. we're going to be looking at the papers shortly but i wanted to bring you some breaking news, we are hearing from the afp news agency that a strong 6.3 magnitude earthquake has struck near the coast of pakistan. quoting the us geological survey, it is a shallow quake, striking at three minutes past three in the morning, local time, close to the pakistan coastal city of pasnan. more details when they come in. now, the papers.
10:43 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the daily telegraph's political correspondent laura hughes and buzzfeed reporter aisha gani. before we hear from them, the front pages. the guardian leads with today's developments at westminster as the government faced down a conservative rebellion over brexit. according to the telegraph, the sustainability of the eurozone is under threat after the imf raised new concern about greek debt. the paper pictures former us president barack 0bama, relaxing in the caribbean. the times reports on claims that britain's tax burden is set to rise to its highest level for more than 30 years. the i speculates that british gas will become the latest energy provider to announce price rises. the metro leads on a new report which claims bank overdraft charges can cost up
10:44 pm
to 180% of the sum borrowed. meanwhile, the mail's headline is ‘new blow for 21 million savers' — after changes were announced to premium bonds. the ft says the london and frankfurt stock exchanges are gambling on authorities giving the green light to their multi billion euro tie—up. and according to the express, freezing gales will hit the uk over the next 10 days. they love the weather story, don't they? sometimes they don't get it right! the daily telegraph, a headline we haven't seen for a while, the greek debt crisis. a new one according to the paper. that's based on what the imf have said, warning that greek debt is on this awful path and the question is, going to bail them out? they've said they don't want to do it, the imf are saying, not us this time. it's interesting because they will go to
10:45 pm
the eu and say that they need to help. injuly the eu and say that they need to help. in july is the eu and say that they need to help. injuly is going to come to a head because greece owes 7 billion euros. germany at the moment is really a m euros. germany at the moment is really am willing to help bail them out because angela merkel has an election coming up and a lot of populist parties in germany are saying, why should hard—working germans have to bail out people working in athens, it's not fair. and there will be that feeling that good money is being thrown after bad as well. if this is true, it hasn't worked and interesting to see how the people of greece react to the news. indeed, it's an alarming headline but it was only in 2008 when we had the first greek debt crisis. it has been covered across headlines and we've seen how it has been carrying on. this won't go away. intriguing that the headline is coming right now, especially when you see the full line across this
10:46 pm
issue —— fault lines. you see the full line across this issue -- fault lines. also on the front of the telegraph, hamann facing £34 billion black hole, tax burden on a 30 year high. facing £34 billion black hole, tax burden on a 30 year highlj facing £34 billion black hole, tax burden on a 30 year high. i think it is 37% of the national income is going to be raised in taxes which is humongous, the highest it has been since margaret thatcher. inland revenue have really been hitting everybody as hard as possible. they have been under orders to get as much more tax as possible into the cough is. that is what the ifs are facing, —— are warning, that we are facing, —— are warning, that we are facing this black hole which means we will be perhaps faced with more taxes and we will see more cuts to public services, at a time when we are seeing crises in social care, the nhs, local councils revolting saying they want to raise taxes because they can't cope. if we want
10:47 pm
to get out of the deficit by 2020, philip hammond will have to do something. buzzfeed has its get to the ground on what people think because often you are reporting their views. austerity is seen as something that is not only seen as painful, but is not working?m something that is not only seen as painful, but is not working? it was a target and we are seeing it isn't working. the people we speak to, especially young millennial is, there was a white paper on housing and it seems that there are some measures to help ordinary families but there are some other things, you ta ke but there are some other things, you take a fume steps back and —— a few steps back, and our people thinking about people on the ground? this is about people on the ground? this is a serious issue. perhaps why we have
10:48 pm
seen this antiestablishment rise, the strength of the right around the world because people are losing faith, if not trust in politics?|j think it's fair to say that people are disillusioned with "establishment politics" but that isn't a reason to blame itjust on that, there are many factors. something like this isn't going to help. when you think it couldn't get any worse, the front page of the metro, the banks charging more than the sharks, it says. this is about the sharks, it says. this is about the charges you get when you go overdrawn. it is like a temporary loa n overdrawn. it is like a temporary loan as far as the banks are concerned. you loan as far as the banks are concerned. you are loan as far as the banks are concerned. you are charged if you go over the limit and they seem to be suggesting that these charges are extortionate. 180% of the sum borrowed. you could have an overdraft of £10 and you would have two payback £180 after two months,
10:49 pm
which is extraordinary. it is more than loan sharks. when you hear about loan sharks you think i will stay away from them and go to the bank and do the sensible thing. £10, thatis bank and do the sensible thing. £10, that is easy to do. if you don't pay it back is delay, you could be to court —— you could be caught. it back is delay, you could be to court -- you could be caught. we have had campaigns against loan sharks but some banks charging seven times more is shocking and it may affect a lot of your viewers. extraordinary. mentioning natwest but it includes lloyds and santander as well, demanding - i suppose as well, demanding £160. i suppose it depends on the deal you have with your bank, there are different overdraft deals and it depends how much the overdraft is as well. i suppose it's down to doing your research. it feels mad that... £10! understand if it was £1000. you're
10:50 pm
sounding like martin lewis now! i'm sure he'll be on it. he'll be launching a campaign tomorrow. let's move on to the daily mail, a new blow for 21 million savers. i told you it would get worse. it's so much about money. national savings interest rates are cut and so are your chances of bringing in a premium bond prize. this is a bit of a technical story but it seems like it will affect a huge amount of people, 21 million savers. essentially government backed savers accounts, going to be affected with interest rates being slashed. for a lot of people, perhaps banking on these savings, they're going to wonder what on earth is going on. they perhaps thought that their money would be safe and suddenly one day it isn't. they lot of people will be worried about this. they
10:51 pm
think it is going to save the treasury, £6 billion. it is premium bonds, but they are going to reduce the number of prizes by one third. it is another disincentive to save. these are government backed accounts, you would think that the government would do the right thing. there is this theory that they want us there is this theory that they want us to spend because it boosts the economy. you look at some of the interest rates, it is something like 196. a former pensions minister says that your acreage in people to save and this is a kick in the teeth. —— that you are encouraging people. the pressure is on theresa may to step m, pressure is on theresa may to step in, it's being talked about? and mps are calling for it. this gets interesting, it is a glass half full, half empty, the votes depending brexit and how it's going to be delivered, the white paper. let's look at the guardian. made
10:52 pm
telling mps, take it or leave it over brexit. —— theresa may telling mps. this is how much say the mps have, which is very little. exactly, the headline, take it or leave it, basically saying that for theresa may, triggering article 50 is so much closer now. tomorrow is like the final day when you will hear discussions about it. the fact that the government won is a huge boost for theresa may. we should explain, a group of mps wanted to have a say in the process on every single clause in the deal with the eu, which could have sent theresa may back to the negotiating table if they rejected it and it could have gone on for years. some rebel mps even on the tory benches voting the other way today. i think it's
10:53 pm
intriguing. the fact that you have the times covering it completely differently. a different take, isn't it? mps will vote on brexit deal after forcing's may‘s hand. it? mps will vote on brexit deal after forcing's may's hand. the reason that the times have covered it this way, mps believe they will have more of a say, more power to influence it because theresa may will have two presented to them and they will say that it is rubbish but evenif they will say that it is rubbish but even if they say they are not happy, it is deal or no deal. you vote for it, or you vote for something worse, going with tariffs set by the wto. the government are going to win regardless. there's this idea that they have more power to intimate, but really? we have to remember that there is a referendum and they are delivering the results. the country
10:54 pm
decided we are going to pass the bill, tomorrow is the final vote, it will get through. it was reported as some kind of concession but i don't think that is the case. labour thought it was a concession and slowly people realise that actually no, it isn't a concession. so we all broke, we are potentially getting ripped off and there is very little broccoli to eat as well! the story at the heart of the salad crunch. this is an incredible story. i'm trying to find a cheerful story! there is a core jet crisis apparently. bad weather in southern europe and some supermarkets are having to ration how many courgettes they sell to their customers. i think for a lot of people that is quite alarming. i think our viewers are probably losing the will!|j quite alarming. i think our viewers are probably losing the will! i like
10:55 pm
this vegenomics. normally if you have small supply you increase prices, but supermarkets are so relu cta nt to prices, but supermarkets are so reluctant to do that they think they will stick at the same, just don't buy as many. we should be eating fruit and vegetables when they are in season. or by local, there are tips on the bbc website about alternatives. grow your own, like jeremy corbyn. a bit hard on a balcony! if you're feeling down we can balcony! if you're feeling down we ca n always balcony! if you're feeling down we can always followed the 0bama example and just relax, basically, after one of the toughestjobs in the world. life after the white house is going swimmingly well, says the daily telegraph. he is with richard branson. an eneko island. if you were richard branson. an eneko island. if you we re a richard branson. an eneko island. if you were a former president you would be chilling out with a billionaire. —— from us all, goodbye. the weather is fairly quiet right
