in the house of lords, where some of the new labour grandees could resist the government's plans for withdrawing form the eu. the express also picks up the story, urging the lords not to weaken or delay the government's brexit approach. the nhs has cut 15,000 beds in six years, according to the mail. the guardian reports that eu leaders are telling theresa may that, what they call, blackmail tactics will backfire don the uk. the times says no ten is on a collision course with small businesses over its reforms to business rates. a warning from the defence secretary makes the telegraph's front page. sir michael fallon says britain must maintain a military presence in afghanistan to avoid millions of afghans migrating to europe. meanwhile, the mirror is leading with the story that former boxer michael watson has vowed to find the people who attacked him as they tried to steal his car. let's start with the telegraph, and this morning from the defence secretary sir michael fallon, uk

troops to prevent afghan knock down because europe faces a new exodus if britain pulls out of a war—torn country, plus echoes of what's happened in syria with hundreds of thousands of people trying to make their way to safety in europe. yes, their way to safety in europe. yes, the defence secretary is using the migration argument to make the case for britain to remain in afghanistan where we still have 500 troops, most people have probably forgotten that because clearly it's gone much quieter there since britain ended full combat operations, those troops arejust ina full combat operations, those troops arejust in a training full combat operations, those troops are just in a training capacity. full combat operations, those troops arejust in a training capacity. it raises more questions than it a nswe i’s raises more questions than it answers i suppose because the headline states uk troops to prevent afg ha n headline states uk troops to prevent afghan meltdown, you might think britain is about to send more troops to afghanistan but the defence secretary isn't saying that, or at least not yet, he seems to be talking about the need for our troops to stay there. but is he hinting at... trying to persuade the

british public that at some point in the future more troops will be required? there's a quote at the end of the page that suggests he is, he quotes the defence secretary saying we're asking the government of afghanistan and their military to deal with the same situation we had ten times as many troops to deal with, clearly accepting they need more troops but will they be ours? is the public being softened up? maybe because i think it's fair to say this feels like a respond to an argument that people didn't know was going on. nobody said you couldn't have there smack there used to be 10,000 british troops there. now 500 are ina 10,000 british troops there. now 500 are in a purely training role. it does feel very much like an opening salvo if a war metaphor of isn't inappropriate in the context. we'll allow it. thank you. coming back to the guardian. the home office saying... they have agreed to

review, and my going to the right one? at the bottom of the page, try refugees have hopes raised as home 0ffice reviews calais cases. it emerges people hoping to come to the uk have gone back to the site in calais where everybody used to gather to get across the channel. and where it was such a big story la st and where it was such a big story last year that it was finally being shut down and bulldozed and children we re shut down and bulldozed and children were being may be found somewhere to go to in france where they would be safe, or somehow getting lost in the whole chaos of it all being shut down. obviously this story has been quite aside from one's opinion on the humanitarian nature of it, it's been terrible pr for the government, saying we had room for 3000 children under the agreement and now we have a few hundred and we're shutting it down. across—the— board a few hundred and we're shutting it down. across—the—board people have stood up to say it's a disgrace. it seems like the most enormous own

goal really and yet they're not actually stepping back from it. they're agreeing to review applications, which is almost the exact same thing as not really doing anything at all. they're not agreeing to change the policy or put agreeing to change the policy or put a pause in or anything like that, theiragreeing to a pause in or anything like that, their agreeing to review it, which is pretty mild—mannered. their agreeing to review it, which is pretty mild-mannered. a review could mean they could allow a few more in without immediately looking like they've changed their minds while changing their minds. a few is very few, it says they have their hopes raised but the public could have their hopes raised that there isa have their hopes raised that there is a major change coming, which isn't happening. as you said, we're talking about a few children forced away from calais when thejungle close, they found their way back and they could have their circumstances looked at again. but the big picture is, the government will still end the so—called dub scheme, meant to bring in 3000 but only brought in 150. i'm reminded of a favourite

limit ofa 150. i'm reminded of a favourite limit of a favourite band of mine, the pogues, lend me £10 and i'll buy you a drink, a very small of. a couple of brexit stories... i wonder which pogues lyric you were going to choose, you had me worried. -- small of. and isn't it right that £10 would just about buy you a drink in islington? with straws. on the independent, mandelson. the brexit bill goes to the lord's this week, lots of them are going to have lots to say, will they meant it in any significant fashion? yes they will. almost certainly the bill will be amended in some fashion and it will have to go back to the commons and it will ping—pong as the saying goes. in the end you assume the commons will get its way over the commons will get its way over theissues the commons will get its way over the issues of eu nationals and what kind of vote takes place on the

final deal the prime minister seals. lord mandelson was on the tivo this morning, certainly trying to bolster a few morning, certainly trying to bolster afew in morning, certainly trying to bolster a few in the lord's to stand up against the brexit bill —— on the tv. he certainly believes the british public will change its mind when they see what miserable deal they get into years time or next year. in our paper tomorrow they go further saying the public should be allowed to pass judgement on the deal, raising the prospect of a second referendum or a general election if it goes wrong for the p.m.. election if it goes wrong for the p.m. . lex looked at the guardian's brexit story, the brexit scandal. —— gamble. —— let's look at. this is whether we should have to pay an except bill, natalie, a very large bill. the whole discussion has a faintly godfather like quality in it. blackmail and division are the

things we're being accused of. yet david davis, he wasn't trying to blackmail anybody, he was going to chat to our friends in estonia, latvia and lithuania. really? everybody could not sound more dubious about this conversation! the blackmail line doesn't appear to be anywhere else on the front page, but i'm happy to be corrected by some ways better than me at reading, but i can't see it. it's within his rights to speak to everyone of the 27. there's only going to be one person at the negotiating table and not 27, the eu will have a negotiator and their employers that going round and talking to some of the 27 to pressure the negotiator is not going to work —— they're implying that. it's not going to work as a divide and rule tactic. implying that. it's not going to work as a divide and rule tacticm will be very interesting! very interesting. the daily mail, nhs cuts... let me repeat that with the

right emphasis. nhs cuts 6000 beds in six years, one in ted, the equivalent of closing 21; hospitals. "15,000 equivalent of closing 21; hospitals. ——15,000 beds. in real terms funding has gone up year on year and it hasn't kept pace with demands. —— one in ten. the bbc ran its own series about how much difficulty the nhs is in. it's a stark bigger tonight, it says there used to be 150,000... there are now 130,000 hospital beds, there used to be 135,005 years ago. i think that it started to be well intentioned —— 135,000 five years ago. there was an idea that you could treat people closer to home in smaller clinics rather than big district hospitals, it could have been well—intentioned reform, but it happened at the same

time as huge cuts to social care so the consequence is there aren't enough beds. we have so—called bed blocking, operations are delayed and then we have the problems we've seen in the nhs. what's wrong is you're talking about funding going upjust about year—on—year, but on the government's own figures, next year funding will fall, it will go down per head next year at a time of an ageing population and greater demand. it's a real nightmare for the government, this sort of problem, the nhs is going to get worse and worse. health officials say patients recover more quickly if there looked after in their own homes, but you have to have doctors, nurses, district nurses in particular to visit people. absolutely and you have to have a home safe to be released into. if you live alone and you're relatively frail, even if your sprightly the re st of frail, even if your sprightly the rest of the time, when you come out of hospital you're more fragile by definition so perhaps a home with

lots of stairs or example isn't appropriate. you could easily let someone appropriate. you could easily let someone back into a flat or a bungalow but not a house and so on and so on. the daily mail is at its best when it has these consumer or patient lead stories, it's very good at these campaigns. i would be quite worried if i wasjeremy hunt right now. and people buy papers because they're always now. and people buy papers because they‘ re always interested now. and people buy papers because they're always interested in the nhs. bill clinton said you shouldn't pick fights with people that buy their ink by the barrel. let's look at the telegraph, plans to save the university of oxford's funding with a paris branch perhaps. they've been in meetings this week apparently, friends of visuals continuing their charm offensive. flipping the glad i at banks. —— french officials. orchestras, as rob saw last week, and universities. from spending a lot of time with academics in the la st

lot of time with academics in the last couple of weeks, by coincidence they are all very worried about the brexit decision, they are all where worried about what's happening to their students and their funding. —— very worried. one of the popular schemes funded by the eu is the erasmus scheme, the exchange, where you can study at a foreign university and lots of students wa nted university and lots of students wanted to come to britain but they've seen the numbers drop of four applications because they're sensing the brexit effect. -- drop—off for. universities have been one of our great strengths recently and that is what we are concerned about when we leave the. it's a red example of a negative story about brexit that makes the telegraph —— leave the eu —— red example. it's a big downside potentially for universities —— rare example. big downside potentially for universities -- rare example. let's finish on something slightly cheery. who doesn't love a david attenborough series? the cure luke

planet, the award—winning series about the oceans, is going to return —— the cure luke planet. there's a lovely q u ote —— the cure luke planet. there's a lovely quote about maintaining his works schedule, would you rather sail ina works schedule, would you rather sail in a balloon over the alps or sit at home dribbling? not everyone has the choice! thank goodness you tidied yourself up! even these pictures in the pay per look amazing, don't they, never mind on the tv. we'll all be watching, weren't we? —— paper. the blue planet was his most successful series. i want to read this again. there will be the species we've never sing before, behaviours we have ever seen before by a dolphin, a task fish and a crap, so named because it has a hairy chest and it is like david hasselhoff. because it has a hairy chest and it is like david hasselhofflj because it has a hairy chest and it is like david hasselhoff. i wonder

if there is a pamela anderson equivalent. —— crab. if there is a pamela anderson equivalent. -- crab. the cuttlefish scene of the mating ritual, where we see what looks suspiciously like tentacles of a cuttlefish giving a back rub to another cuttlefish, we are all channelling our inner baywatch memories, i think we are. that's it. before we get into anything more on that! discussions of swimming costumes and that kind of swimming costumes and that kind of thing! that's it for the papers to mike. don't forget all of the front pages are online on the website where you can read a detailed review of the papers. —— tonight. we are there as well each night. it is posted shortly after we finish and it is on iplayer. natalie, rob, thank you very much. coming up next it's the film review.
