in the german city of heidelberg. three men have appeared in court on slavery charges after the discovery of a cannabis factory at a disused nuclear bunker in wiltshire. and coming up at10.1i5pm, a round—up of this week's best stories from across the globe in reporters. so welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are caroline wheeler, the political editor of the sunday express, and anne ashworth, assistant editor at the times. thank you so much for being with us. the sunday telegraph has an interview with the new independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, max hill who warns that the threat of terror attacks is at its highest since the 1970s. not so many newspapers are in just
10:33 pm
yet. these are the ones we have. changes to visa regulations for migrants is the lead story in the sunday times. the paper says plans include limiting access to benefits for new arrivals to the uk. the sunday express has more details about the man who murdered the children's author helen bailey. let us begin with the sunday telegraph, interesting story about the lords, really, and the "brexit" bill, saying the peers are uniting to soft "brexit", to soften "brexit", theresa may may not like this. mcilroy she was hanging over their shoulders, this. mcilroy she was hanging over theirshoulders, imploring this. mcilroy she was hanging over their shoulders, imploring them to do the right thing, and available of the people. unlike in the house of commons, where there were not any amendments put forward to the bill, and it passed through the house of
10:34 pm
commons, now there will be opportunities for peers to put down amendments and in fact they have, many of them, but the ones gaining the most support include one which promises to guarantee rights of eu citizens already living here, and also one which would give everyone in parliament an opportunity to sort of vote on the final deal when it is done. and it's interesting because if you think about the composition of the house of lords, they don't have the same issue of patronage that they do in the house of commons, in that sense they are a lot more free to vote with their conscience. indeed, many of them are now telling the sunday telegraph that they are going to put forward these amendments and vote for them, and that they are saying, basically, they feel this is such a big issue, that the timetable is too short for them to look at the issue and they wa nt to them to look at the issue and they want to be given the opportunity to make amendments and do the job they are there for. some people have said, the british people voted on
10:35 pm
this, the house of commons pushed this, the house of commons pushed this bill through without amendment, without change, how can it be that the unelected lords should amend it? this is why there is going to be so much fuss about the intervention of the lords into this. i think we are going to have a very exciting political battle. these people have little to lose, they can be the awkward squad, in this age of protest, that is the role that they can fulfil. i think there are a great many people who would have supported brexit, but not necessarily hard brexit, and those people want to see it done on terms. how we do this, how we except the eu will determine our political and economic life and it needs to be done carefully. some of the issues that maybe we should have a second look at the final deal, before we sign, or whatever it is, to exit, is
10:36 pm
maybe they think that even some people who voted for brexit will support. gina miller, businesswoman who brought the legal case that i was following at the supreme court, that ended with all of this being debated in parliament, she has said the lords need to show some backbone on the "brexit" bill. in a sense you would expect this, she led the battle, as it were, through the courts, to make sure parliament got a say on whether or not we trigger article 50. that is now what the bill is going to be. going through the lords. in this piece to the independent, she is imploring the lords to do what she considers is their role, they are there as a revising chamber, as a scrutinising chamber, she is saying, basically the prime minister is being a bully, she is using the idea that she turned up, it is unusualfor a prime minister to turn up at the house of lords under those circumstances, you
10:37 pm
need to show your muscle now, if you are not happy with aspects of the bill, vote for the amendments. she isa bill, vote for the amendments. she is a bit survey heroine, julia miller, on investment charges, she did some good work into that, and there is the for her but this will bea there is the for her but this will be a massive battle, this is going to keep us going throughout march, april may, and beyond. gina miller, in the independent front page, you admire her, as the woman who brought this case, she came in for a lot of stick from certain quarters? she has had a lot of stick, a lot of people will say into response what she did, the public had their say, they were very clear, they voted for "brexit" and the idea that it has to be brought back before parliament is kind of unnecessary, because it is almost a hurdle that is not warranted, given that people had their direct say. yes, she is
10:38 pm
clearly standing up for principles she thinks are very important, she thinks that this is something that she must do, and the fact she went to such lengths to do it, whether you are on either side of the " b rex it" you are on either side of the "brexit" fans, you have got to admire herfor doing "brexit" fans, you have got to admire her for doing it, "brexit" fans, you have got to admire herfor doing it, it has not been an easy thing to do, i am sure that she has suffered. she has faced down the most extraordinary social media torrent... death threats, in fa ct. media torrent... death threats, in fact. she cannot go safely to a public place, she has been told, that shows the depth of emotion. nigel farage, on the opposite side of the fence, he says the same thing, he says he is vilified in the same way she has been. cannot go out of the house for fear of the liberal press, that is the phrase! still on the "brexit" story, tim shipman, political editor, here, talking about there is going to be a visa revolution for foreign workers, that
10:39 pm
is his angle on at. yes, migration is his angle on at. yes, migration is never far away from agenda when we talk about "brexit", lots of people say that was the main people racing people were rejecting when they voted for "brexit", that they wa nted they voted for "brexit", that they wanted to have control on who comes into the country. of course this week we saw david davis admitting that it was going to take some time for us to bring down the level of migration that we already have. this is suggesting that it will be sector by sector arrangements for migration which is something we have heard before. but there will also be new arrangements in terms of benefits and restricting benefits for new arrivals. this was also something david cameron had started prior to the referendum. the most interesting bit of this article is actually about what we do with the people that are already here, the people that are already here, the people that have come here from europe, living here, settled here, working, and what it is suggesting is that actually, there will be a cut—off
10:40 pm
date, and many people thought it might have been june date, and many people thought it might have beenjune 23, it seems that the lawyers have suggested this is not lawful, and actually, the date that we trigger article 50, which tim shipman seems to think will be march 15, that is on the cards. not far away. that will be the day, after that point, people who come in will not have their rights guaranteed. it is very interesting, how the rights of migrants and who can stay and who cannot, and who can stay in the future, is going up the agenda, the trade deals have suddenly been shoved into the background, and there is a kind of consternation as to wondering how we will do with all these workers... how will we get on without them ? these workers... how will we get on without them? a few of the other stories? the sunday times have the labour party and the fallout from the labour party by—elections, the deputy leader, tom watson, saying that they risk their wipe—out in
10:41 pm
england as they had in scotland and is they take a long hard look at the way that they have alienated traditional supporters of the party. what will they actually do about it, and awful lot of public hand—wringing on the part of the labour party members but they do not seem labour party members but they do not seem to be able to get rid ofjeremy corbyn. i would love to know what tom watson has privately told jeremy corbyn about, time for you to go, or has he? the labour moderates, when you speak with them, you ask if there is a plan, and they look at you like mournfully and say, there simply is not a plan. from labour to ukip, and we have the express, who say that, the sunday express, they say that, the sunday express, they say nigel and say that, the sunday express, they say nigeland i, nigel say that, the sunday express, they say nigel and i, nigel farage and arron banks, are fed up with ukip...? this is arron banks, are fed up with ukip. . . ? this is one arron banks, are fed up with ukip...? this is one of arron banks, are fed up with ukip. . . ? this is one of my stories... yes, yes it is! i hadn't spotted that! what a brilliant story! sunday express! had a chat with errant banks, in the wake of
10:42 pm
the stoke by—election, —— arron banks, paul nuttall, leader of the party, unsuccessful in his attempts to be elected as the party's second mp, he says he will quit and take his minions and not be part of ukip u nless his minions and not be part of ukip unless they let him become chairman of the party so that they can professionalise and modernise the party and move forward with it. he has a bit of a beef with douglas ca rswell, has a bit of a beef with douglas carswell, as we have known for a long time, and this issue that aired on question time about whether or not douglas carswell indeed blocks nigel farage's knighthood, has reared its ugly head again, and arron banks told me that if he becomes chairman, then his first act will be to expel douglas carswell. it's all bitter infighting again. certainly is. sunday telegraph, they have written‘s new terror chief... max hill, talking about islamic state and the threat of terror being
10:43 pm
the worst for a generation, his first interview since being appointed. the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, the man who looks essentially to see whether the people who are keeping us safe will be able to do this, and he is talking about a level of terror threat akin to that in the 1970s, 1974, at the height of the ira bombing. maybe this is maybe not a surprise to some people but it is a rather sobering report on just the level of threat from isis, and also, the age at which people are becoming radicalised, the age of 14, people are watching isil videos and signing up, trying to leave britain... to join up... terrorism has been on the agenda, the story about the man who came back from guantanamo bay,
10:44 pm
living here for ten years, and then escaped to syria and was blown up in a suicide bomb attack in iraq. the thing i would like to know from him, because it crossed my mind, what is going to do in terms of the surveillance powers of these people slipping in and out of the country. very quick, last look at the telegraph, emma stone, picture of her, just ahead of the oscars, hot favourite to be best actress. la la land. you saw it and did not like it?
