are fuel and the surge in fake news. and the express reports on the number of people trying to enter the uk illegally and speculates about whether tom jones and priscilla presley are an item! that will not feature in what discussing. it is not unusual! let's begin with the daily telegraph. council tax rises for millions, households across the country facing higher bills, not just council tax bills, but the parking as well. we knew council tax rates would go up because we always do, particularly when the government is short of cash because the force local governments to raise more money. this is a local government information unit survey and they have surveyed councils in england and wales and 94% of those councils only have said they will raise
10:44 pm
council tax over the next year by up to 5%, and that may also include additional charges for parking and waste disposal. the accusation here thenis waste disposal. the accusation here then is the raising charges they do not necessarily need to raise under the banner of social care ? but councils a, but councils say need to do it, and that is do need to do it, and that is because of the rising cost of social care. i will move us because we have got so much to get through. up to 150 mp5 got so much to get through. up to 150 mps support a motion to oust john bercow, speaker of the house of commons, who was very partial about donald trump and he is supposed to be impartial and some mps have taken exception to what he has said about him addressing parliament. exception to what he has said about him addressing parliamentm exception to what he has said about him addressing parliament. it was
10:45 pm
another trump story because it is regarding the state visit the president trump is to make, theresa may gave that invitation to the white house on the queen and it was accepted by it president trump. the criticism is not that the speaker of the house of commons said he was against the visit, it is the fact he we nt against the visit, it is the fact he went on to say it was racism and sexism, that is the particular parts that some mps are unhappy with, amongst them a conservative mp and former foreign minister who has tabled a motion of no confidence. he did that today. after the speaker said... he wanted to bar the us president from addressing parliament. although there are 150 mps, the vote will not be binding,
10:46 pm
but it is considered he would be in an untenable position if a certain numberof mps were an untenable position if a certain number of mps were to vote against him. if it is 150, that him. for ‘ of him. out with this one, financial us out with this one, financial times, greek debt sell—off. this is all to do with the dire straits the greek economy and banks are in. for the last year, 18 months, this notion of problems in the eurozone has gone quiet, but the problem is still there. greece is still basically bankrupt, reliant on a rolling bailout from the imf and european union jointly. the rolling bailout from the imf and european unionjointly. the ecb. every year or so it has to be
10:47 pm
renewed and there is a lot of political argy—bargy. greek bond yields have spiked and investors are losing confidence in greece. there isa losing confidence in greece. there is a row between the eu and the imf as to who will actually showed the losses the greece will impose and the timing of this means that it is particularly tense because ahead of the dutch and french elections, there is a lot of very tense politics and the eurozone. if the idea spreads that they may actually let greece go bankrupt, there will be fears about other countries going bankrupt. the eurozone will have lots of turmoil and contagion. high—stakes lots of turmoil and contagion. high—sta kes stuff. lots of turmoil and contagion. high-stakes stuff. normally, we get toa high-stakes stuff. normally, we get to a cliff edge and in the 11th hour, a deal is done. you might feel you are over the hump and not at

10:50 pm
children were meant to be coming to britain and only 350 power. this goes back to the dubs amendment, a labour peer highly regarded. the informal limits for loan child refugees that britain would take every year was around 3500 and the government is saying it will be 350 and you have got the archbishop of canterbury weighing in now to this debate, saying he is saddened and shocked by the decision to limit these measures to only 350 children, saying it is regrettable. some mps will not let that go. the word close, the guardian singh close but amber rudd in parliament said they are not closing it. words matter. they do, thank you for clarifying. they do, thank you for clarifying. the daily mirror, a couple of health

10:54 pm
charities advertise. and when you advertise virtually, online newspapers and publications, google will take the ads and put them elsewhere for a fee and that is how are curated and spread around different websites. you are now getting government and charity backed adverts appearing on websites that deal with fake news. which seems to legitimise the story. some of these websites are nasty. they are anti—american, they may incite terrorists, violence, extremists. but this is what happens when your adverts are curated by the huge search engines and social media companies. you lose the control of
