bringing us tomorrow. with me joseph harker, deputy 0pinion editor at the guardian and melanie eusebe, executive producer of the women of the world festival . tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. the mail says grieving families may have to take out costly loans to pay for new probate fees — dubbed the death tax — to the treasury. the i reports that theresa may will trigger brexit as soon as tuesday, as eu chiefs warn of ‘torturous' negotiations for months ahead. the ft also reports on brexit, with a claim from one source saying if not tuesday, article 50 would be triggered by the end of next week. the telegraph also reports on brexit. it also reports on its own poll claiming the conservative party is no longer seen as a party of low taxation, following philip hammond's national insurance rise for self—employed workers in the budget. new migrant crisis on way, says the express, which claims a surge of people travelling

to europe has sparked fears of another summer of chaos at britain's borders. the times reports on grammar schools — saying they'll be forced to offer lower 11—plus pass marks to children from poorer backgrounds, or embrace similar moves, to end what it calls the middle—class stranglehold. and the mirror has an interview with paul burrell, the former butler of diana, princess of wales, who he claims talks to him in dreams. we shall start with the i. brexit may be triggered by tuesday. surprisingly. that means technically we could be off on tuesday. that is a surprise, not in terms of our own

action, but in response to the european council. they are saying we could clear an our side in 48 hours. so by the end of the week, it could be in full effect. then they'll say you can come back at any point in the future, just to muddy the waters. this is uprising. the lords let to go through and then they sent it back. and now it is back with the commons and you would think if they we re commons and you would think if they were going to send it back, some mps who were wavering may start to think, well, maybe there's a reason for us to rethink it. especially on theissue for us to rethink it. especially on the issue whether or not migrants in the issue whether or not migrants in the uk should have the right to remain in this country. but at least we have been told all briefed that there is unlikely to be a tory rebellion which means when it goes back to the commons, they will not get through. —— they will let it through. and this is on the
10:47 pm
expectation that they will let it through, even though last week there was a majority of hunger for sending it back. it could be but who knows. we have the express on page five saying that eurocrats are hinting at a new deal in a sneaky bid to derail brexit. this has been doing the rounds for ages, this idea of an associate eu membership for those who did and wants to leave. britain has said it will not be the single market or the customs union. and now they are saying there's another way in which they could a connection. but it will be a membership of the eu, rather, some arrangement. wooden derail everything, just an idea put forward some time ago by a former belgian prime minister? well, there are some people say let's make
10:48 pm
there are some people say let's make the break, but now all of a sudden we are hearing, well, we've received thousands of applications and so if you want to stay, personally, in the eu, then you can apply to do so. and then also saying oh, maybe we ought to have a special relationship. you applied to leave the boat, but you may be able to get back on it. so frankly, in combination with the possibility may be triggered this week and also associate membership, week and also associate membership, we are stilljust as confused. we are. now the telegraph. tories are they no longer —— no longer the low tax party. philip hammond announced there would be an increase in some classes of national insurance contributions for self—employed people. they always prided themselves on being a party of low tax. yes, i always like to keep these things in context. you'll find
10:49 pm
this a thousand people voted in it, so one this a thousand people voted in it, so one in seven of them are already conservative. we should look at that, because it may not be a reflection of what the general populace is thinking. they say you only need to poll a thousand people and we know the proud record companies. i think even bigger samples than that. the subheading says almost half of the public say they are less likely to vote conservative and in the express you got them sent our 19 points ahead of labour, so who do you believe? it is and editing tonight, says she always packs the running order with the huge number of... i wasjust going to say that hidden in a telegraph story was an interesting point. it said philip hammond must first survive a plot to oust him which have been brewing amongst brexit types. so seizing on this
10:50 pm
unpopularity of his budget and trying to get rid of the chancel altogether. 0f trying to get rid of the chancel altogether. of course, it is a remainder. he barely mentioned brexit in the budget. he's the one person who seems to be trying to stay true to his belief it is better for britain to stay in europe while working for a prime minister who says brexit means brexit. can we move on now? the times. established grammar schools most of the lower pass marks to poorer pupils. this is an established grammar schools. she wa nts to an established grammar schools. she wants to create new ones. utah to detoxify grammar schools in order to convince tory backbenchers that expanding them is good idea. the big myth is that grammar schools help social mobility. they did once, didn't they? there was a time when
10:51 pm
ordinary working—class kids could get a ordinary working—class kids could geta grammar ordinary working—class kids could get a grammar school and move on and break away from their background and ta ke break away from their background and take advantage of greater opportunities. but since then, middle—class families have been getting their kids tutored and this isa getting their kids tutored and this is a free alternative to private schools. hence grammar schools now have 3% of kids on free school dinners. this is an attempt to detoxify in a way undermining what grammar schools are meant to be about, which is by lowering the marks for poorer kids. from the north american perspective, is this baffling to you, melanie? yes, and it feels like that argument about affirmative action and letters she was at women to put in our boardrooms. i always say, i don't wa nt boardrooms. i always say, i don't want to get a bigger you have lowered the grade or the admission
10:52 pm
criteria or changed it, it is more that you are focusing on getting me in in different ways. it does leave a bad taste. it doesn't resolve anything and it's still a deeply divided issue. kids can be quite cruel. you don't want a situation where the poorer kids are all perceived to have got in because their marks have been lowered. so a secondary school with kids saying, they'll be less clever ones. picture of jack munro on they'll be less clever ones. picture ofjack munro on the guardian who sued katie hopkins for suggesting she had vandalised or approved of an act of vandalism of a war memorial. difficult to win libel cases, but she has. yes, and i love it, because this picture... everybody who told
10:53 pm
mel this picture... everybody who told me i couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't, i could, and i did. it is a victory for us all. for? it signals the attention we should pay to our brand. i would attention we should pay to our brand. iwould be attention we should pay to our brand. i would be very hurt and upset if someone thought i was going around and defacing british memorials. the residue is still there, when you google it it will come up. so i'm glad she went for it and forget the fact that katie hopkins is very controversial, just protect your brand. because the residue stays. it shows you social media is not a free for all. and she did imply she had defaced a war memorial and when jack munro did imply she had defaced a war memorial and whenjack munro said to her, well, can you apologise and she would have accepted an apology, katie hopkins refused to do that and
10:54 pm
she dug herself deeper in by calling jack monroe social anthrax. so it got worse and worse and now she is faced with a bill of over £100,000 and maybe she can i reflect on that she plays it back. we do not lie about on our timelines, do we? just be nice everybody. ticket touts and unlimited fines. some companies bulk buy and use software to bulk buy concert tickets and sell them are vastly inflated profits. well, hopefully this is one measure recommended by professor waterstone. he published a number of proposals to prevent touting, because, quite frankly, business has come again and still these tickets at a fairly reasonable rate. that is to be debated. ticket touts and the kind of technology and the sheer power in personnel, they buy the tickets very

quickly and the reseller could be up to 400%, so that's why we are seeing artists like adele selling out in minutes and they are appearing for thousands of pounds. the artist is on getting it, the venue is on getting it, so who is getting it? someone's getting very rich. and it's not in the supply chain of the creation of the music. joseph, talk to us about broadband. bt forced a broadband firm and they can't be in charge of open reach anymore in the way have been. there's an interesting table they've got tea, the percentage of homes at fibre—optic connections. 85% in singapore, macedonia, 8.7%, the uk,
10:56 pm
296! singapore, macedonia, 8.7%, the uk, 2%! that is shocking. if it is accurate, it is quite horrific. the idea is if bt are not in charge of open reach, there will be more competition and it would be better for rivals if they are not having to compete with bt up, up until now, have opened them. and they all rely toa certain have opened them. and they all rely to a certain extent on open reach and bt has been prioritising their own clients ahead of virgin, head of sky, and there's all these problems coming out of the ownership of bt open reach. they also say that bt are spending millions on champions league football riots and this week they spent even more while this service it should be offering to people across the country is falling into decay. especially in the countryside where people wants to run businesses and are finding it difficult. we were going to talk about robots with artificial irreverence. these robots work out
