hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines at 10.30. the brexit secretary tells mps to ditch changes to the bill, insisting the uk would be prepared if it has to leave the eu with no deal in place. the iraqi military says it's retaken two more neighbourhoods of west mosul from the islamic state group, since launching an offensive on the area last month. turkey's president erdogan has warned the netherlands it will "pay the price" for expelling a turkish government minister. dutch riot police used water cannon to break up a large protest outside the turkish consulate in rotterdam. at least 48 people have been killed in a giant landslide at a rubbish dump on the outskirts of the ethiopian capital of addis ababa i will be talking to the novelist, lionel shriver, about her work, and whether donald trump's america is

represented in her latest book. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are robert fox, defence editor of the london evening standard, and esther mcvey, former conservative employment minister. and not a single donald trump story tonight. i'm in mourning! i am sure it is just tonight. i'm in mourning! i am sure it isjust a tonight. i'm in mourning! i am sure it is just a momentary hiatus. the ft says theresa may is on the brink of formally launching britain's exit from the european union, after rebel tory mps admitted they were unlikely to have the power to block the move when the bill returns to commons tomorrow. the i says tory veteran lord hestletine, who was sacked over brexit, has accused mrs may of treating colleagues like "performing fleas". for the metro, it's "march madness", as strikes over driver—only trains spread to three parts of the country. the telegraph has a picture of a serious—faced nicola sturgeon

behind theresa may — it says the scottish leader is threatening to derail article 50, the formal notice of the uk leaving the eu, with plans for a second independence referendum. brexit preoccupies the express again — it says mps have been urged not to wreck the bill's progress through parliament. and the times says the heads of 35 oxford colleges have signed a letter, pleading with mps to allow eu citizens already resident in britain the right to stay after brexit. the guardian focuses on the possible trade implications of britain post—bragg said. the photograph is of murray black, britain's youngest mp, who says she hates parliament and may stand down at the next election. it will be a sorrier place without her, probably. let's starred without her, probably. let's starred with brexit. it's on many of the front pages. the likelihood it could be treated —— triggered this week.

tories into a mile ahead of article 50, it says. five big tory names on the front page. the chancellor and the front page. the chancellor and the prime minister's relationship said to be under strain. the referendum was supposed to be the end of conservative divisions on europe. it hasn't worked out that way? i wouldn't say the tories are in turmoil. yes there are tensions and fundamentally it's more to do with the budget last week, i would say, and people coming forward saying, you have broken a manifesto pledge by increasing national insurance to be and is for the self—employed. that would be the issue. but theresa may deftly shifted that away, leaving it to a vote in the autumn, saying, let's have a look at self—employed, the devon —— the definition of it. as

for michael heseltine, who is saying she is treating colleagues as performing fleas, what happened here is, and he knows, and anybody who is a member of the government voting against the government, and he has beenin against the government, and he has been in government for many years, knew he would be sacked for what he did because that is going against the very nature of collective responsibility. so he wasn't treated unusually. it would have been unusually. it would have been unusual to have allowed him to have carried on. i think this is making a story out of not too much. but obviously every party has got differing views on differing things. i don't think this is big. do you think it is as big as the front page would have it? i must say, reading the article, it is a storm in a store —— tory teacup. the article, it is a storm in a store -- tory teacup. lord heseltine got a lot of praise for saying the

house of lords is and to get the government to think again. and also, we wa nt government to think again. and also, we want a unilateral declaration that eu residents will have their rights guaranteed. theresa may agrees with that. there isn't one mp who doesn't agree. there is something running behind this, isn't there? if we are to ignore entirely what the house of lords did or said and voted upon in the deliberations on brexit, and article 50, as mr davies is inviting his party, parliament and the country to do, what on earth is the point of parliament? this is the real question of what i would now call, seeing what is going on in the netherlands, the nativist part of the right—wing of tory party, part of theirclaim for the right—wing of tory party, part of their claim for brexit was to return sovereignty, national sovereignty, to the country. the instrument of sovereignty, which

they seem to be playing in and out with, is parliament. they keep saying the people have spoken and that's it. are they really saying that's it. are they really saying that uniquely a referendum is the only thing that you cannot rescind, abrogate, alter, moderate? anything you say in parliament, including a motion to shoot all redheads tomorrow morning, can be rescinded. that is her statute law works. this idea that this thing is set in stone, i think they are driving themselves into a big trap. the daily express saying mps are told not to sabotage eu exit. that is not going to happen, is it? they will win the vote. it will be triggered this week. of course. we are co nsta ntly this week. of course. we are constantly talking about it. there will be pressure from the public. there is pressure from the media.

they are constantly talking about it in the house. parliament is actually, you know, in charge of what's going on. everybody is having a say. all they are saying is it was a say. all they are saying is it was a referendum, so what we have to make sure is that is seen through. everybody is having a say. the daily telegraph headline talks about nicola sturgeon‘s last ditch attempt to stop brexit. it is not go to happen. we are going to leave. what is nicola sturgeon doing? she is trying to get a scottish boys at the table in the negotiations. —— voice. this has been her problem. some of the more extreme suggestions, including in this story, that scotland can go it alone because, by the time that the brexit negotiations are finished in two years, march 2019, they could be out

of the united kingdom, that is brinkmanship of the most extraordinary order. the suggestion again in the telegraph piece is that she may be forced to go for another referendum for the independence of scotland. well, the opinion polls at the moment say she won't win it. and with a declining economy. she's looking weaker all the time. she keeps coming back to this, we are having another referendum. she has marched her voters to the top of the hill, she now has nowhere to go and she is sounding very weak. there is the possibility of the break—up of her party, too. look at dft. rebel mps except likely defeat. the commons expected to pass the bill. the story we are going to look at is at the top. anger rises as president erdogan calls the dutch nazis. this

isa erdogan calls the dutch nazis. this is a complicated story. the opposition in turkey have been able to campaign ahead of the vote this week. the ruling party feel that they have not been given the same opportunities to speak to their electorate in the netherlands. this is ineptitude on both sides. as a dft is reporting it. what appears to have happened is this. —— as the financial times is reporting. how began's ruling party asked for two senior figures. to come to the netherlands to hold a rally to persuade turks, those that might have the vote and were not sure —— we are not sure how many there are in the netherlands, to vote for greater powers for president erdogan come june, or whenever the election

is. it is much earlier. it is not this week. that is the dutch general election. sorry. you have let the cat out of the bag. that is the point. they asked them not to do it this weekend because of the run—up to the dutch, very toxic, general election, where nativism and the presence of muslims in their country is an issue. i really think it is about timing from their point of view. president erdogan's reaction has been so hyper, i would even call it absurd, to call them nazis is inept, it is completely wrong. what he has done easy has got the headlines around the world. he was trying to get the 5 million turks in europe to vote for him to have extended powers in turkey. it isn't only the netherlands that have said they don't want these rallies. germany have said they don't want them because of the agitation on the ground. more importantly for the

netherlands, it is because there election is this week. march madness, says the metro. a million hit by train strikes. we saw the disruption on southern trains. no more will be hit this week. my hometown is coming out. this is the rmt making sure 2000 guards walk out. at the end of the day everybody has got to get to the nub of what these strikes are about. they keep going back. is it about safety of the passenger? is it about these driver only operated trains? no, it's not. we have had them for 30 yea rs. it's not. we have had them for 30 years. 60% of trains are run on them. we know they are safe. this is about rmt having power, flexing its muscle and really not thinking about

the people they are causing so much strive to. it is about a union protecting members and theirjobs, isn't it? it is completely wrong. it isn't it? it is completely wrong. it is not about that. they are not losing theirjobs. they are getting the guards to do other things. they are opening —— opening and closing the door is not the most important thing on a train. it could be checking whether there is anti—social behaviour on the train, checking whether people are safe, it could be about telling them where they need to get off or payment about a train tickets. it is not about a train tickets. it is not about just about a train tickets. it is not aboutjust opening about a train tickets. it is not about just opening and about a train tickets. it is not aboutjust opening and closing the door. i want to return to the telegraph. foreign aid wasted on green energy plans. £2 billion. this is an old theme. i don't mean old story. the telegraph are going in on the enormous aid budget. £12 million. —— £12 billion. 0.7% of

gdp. cameron pledged to support the millennium goals of the un and they can't account for a lot of it. the telegraph has dug out to schemes which have not yielded anything. —— two. a solar power scheme in kenya and a wind in ethiopia which has provided energy for barely 100 households at a cost of half a billion between them. one of these things is that it is very difficult to audit a lot of what dhif it is doing. —— divot. plus it is becoming a tremendous political football because anything from defence through to welfare says, why are we spending 12 billion? they want to repatriated. — — spending 12 billion? they want to repatriated. —— to repatriate it. but they really don't will know, and

the civil service don't know, how to disentangle this. year after year there is an awful lot of money wasted. i have witnessed a tremendous waste of money in afghanistan, for example, where we spent 3 billion of aid. i wonder how much of that is yielding at the moment? i think mrs may, the prime minister, will have to deal with this in this term because it has been building. and the money is going up. by 2020 it will be 16 billion. when at home people are saying, we need several
