a touch of light spots, we could see a touch of light rust on tuesday morning. —— in rural spots. cloud and rain gathering in the north—west. the wind direction changes from a north—westerly to a westerly, which might just changes from a north—westerly to a westerly, which mightjust mean temperatures will be a degree or so up temperatures will be a degree or so up on tuesday, particularly in the south—east, with highs of 16. more weather fronts toppling further south, but a weak affair, so not much significant rain. on wednesday, with those weather fronts, we could see quite a lot of cloud. a good deal of dry weather. a similar story on thursday. for the easter weekend, that cool, northerly wind stays with us. that cool, northerly wind stays with us. a good deal of dry weather, just a few showers, but the nights will be pretty chilly. hello — this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines at 10:32pm. a british man, chris bevington, is named as one of the four people who died in the stockholm lorry attack. huge crowds have turned out

for a vigil in the swedish capital to remember those killed and injured in friday's attack. the so—called islamic state said it carried out the two bomb attacks on coptic christians in egypt that killed dozens of people. the body of pc keith palmer, who was murdered in the westminster terror attack, is lying in a chapel inside the houses of parliament, ahead of his funeral tomorrow. the payday loan firm, wonga, has apologised after admitting nearly a quarter of a million british customers may have been affected by a data breach. one meet the author this week i will speak to scarlett thomas about her switch to writing for children and the creation of a fictional world full of magic and danger. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with me are the journalist lucy cavendish, and tom bergin, business correspondent at reuters. hopefully not suffering from too much sun after a lovely day out there tonight. tomorrow's front pages then, starting with — the daily telegraph leads with claims that russia and iran are threatening to retaliate against america, following last week's air strike on syria. donald trump is accused of crossing "red lines". the financial times focuses on president trump's decision to increase us naval power in korean waters. the independent leads with an exclusive on the rising number of domestic violence victims withdrawing charges against their alleged abusers. the daily express claims that theresa may is under pressure to introduce a five—year pause on unskilled migrant workers coming to the uk in order to reach immigration targets. the metro also looks at the claims that russia and iran are threatening to retaliate against the united states — it also carries a picture

of the funeral of pc palmer, who was killed during the westminster terror attack. the guardian says that most asylum seekers are placed in the poorest parts of the country. pc palmer's funeral takes place tomorrow, he is lying at rest in the houses of parliament tonight. let's begin with the telegraph, and a couple of the papers are running on the fallout following those cruise missile strikes by the united states against syria earlier in the week. the daily telegraph's headline, russia's threat to strike back at trump, we will respond with force moscow tells the us after attack on syria airbase. how specific are they being? it is not specific at all. it isa being? it is not specific at all. it is a pretty good one because of course you wrote expect russia to come back with something because it does feel like an attack on assad

and they are in cahoots with a sad but i'm not sure what the force is. i don't want to make light of it but the bromance is over —— assad. trump has gone this way, putin is going that way, he is standing alongside the iranians and it feels threatening but no one has exactly said what the force is. the accusation donald trump has crossed red lines which is ironic since he felt red lines had been crossed some time ago, 2013, president obama hadn't responded even though he had drawn a red line. we might need to use some drawn a red line. we might need to use some different colours here, purple markers, and we have so many lines going on here. yes, as lucy said the bromance is over, lots of discussions about whether president putin helps, trump, we will find out if that was the case, any reason to hold it back might be gone. it is a confusing situation. it is not usual we see the kind of language being

used here. childlike language. childish. the mechanism is twitter, the messages are thinly veiled insults, the kind of comments used to describe britain by the russians. it isa to describe britain by the russians. it is a strange situation and heightens this political unpredictability we have now. it is one of those things when looking at financial markets and other areas people citing political uncertainty in the way they have not done in the past. even in the developed world and in the place where in the past we have certainty about policy, namely the united states, people would trail the economic policies for a long period of time. in the course of a week we have had a u—turn, turning on a dime, and we're not used to seeing these things. he is an unpredictable man. which one? both! i felt with trump there were checks and balances around when he came into power and lots of people said the checks and balances and

sensible people... but this seems to be spiralling into literally like two people trading insults across social media, it is extraordinary. yes, it's not the sort of discretion we are used to in sort of diplomatic terms, is it? no. you wonder how useful it is, they look to have much more distance between the white house and the kremlin than was suggested a few weeks ago. absolutely, and they are talking about threats. the us has been careful not to have any russian casualties in the action. the russians were notified at a military level in advance of this military strike. on twitter! it is or was possible inadvertently that could happen and that would ratchet up things, as we have seen before with turkey and russia with respect to the downing of the russian fighter. these things can get out of hand and lead to escalate unintentionally. the guardian talks about the british

aspect of this. russian fury as johnson is snapped as syria tensions rise, boris johnson's decision johnson is snapped as syria tensions rise, borisjohnson‘s decision not to go to moscow —— snubbed. the reaction from the russians, particularly sergey lavrov, who is his foreign secretary counterpart. yes. the russians are basically saying that this shows that britain is incapable of independent thought when it comes to foreign policy. basically, the uk is a lapdog to the united states. as i said earlier, this is not really typically diplomatic language and they are obviously not happy about this. interestingly we are also seen the opposition in the uk, the liberal democrats and labour, criticising borisjohnson for not democrats and labour, criticising boris johnson for not going to russia, working on the basis of rex tillerson, the us foreign secretary who is going to go, so why should boris do not go? we have not had a

really clear explanation from the foreign office of the thinking here and this is leading the opposition parties in the uk to say theresa may is afraid he is going to go and they will be gaffes. much further down in the article it says the foreign office says the talks were called off owing to russia's continued defence of the assad regime. russia says this is not had a pleasant —— diplomacy works, you don'tjust not turn up if things get tricky. have they missed a trick not being in moscow to say those things?|j they missed a trick not being in moscow to say those things? i think he has but russia has always supported the assad regime. i was a lwa ys supported the assad regime. i was always the case before he was going anyway. the interesting thing is there has been no reason given. he a p pa re ntly there has been no reason given. he apparently needs to work on proposals a bit longer. the opposition parties are right, there isa opposition parties are right, there is a big question mark over whether oi’ is a big question mark over whether or not theresa may trusts boris johnson. do you really think that is

what it is? at this point of time i would say it is pretty important that he does go over there, it is a visit that is planned, and to back down, again, there is a twitter spat saying he's not on the dome at up to thejob. saying he's not on the dome at up to the job. isn't that for our benefit? we reported all the time.“ the job. isn't that for our benefit? we reported all the time. if you make these statements you can box yourself into a corner and the problem is trump has committed to so many things, from health care to foreign relations, he has made promises, his written a lot of cheques on twitter but he can still be held accountable for those if he doesn't deliver. donald trump was putting america first. there was not going to be much engagement abroad, was there? that has changed because of the circumstances. like he looked at health care and he said it is complicated. boris johnson isn't going to be there to sort it out and have a place at the table. shall we stay with the guardian? most refugees sent to the poorest parts of the uk, calls for appalling system to change as labour areas

bear the brunt of the cost. is this accidental or deliberate? how do people end up in the poorer parts of the country? i think it's very complicated. another thing that is! life is complicated. essentially yvette cooper, who said this is a shambles and has been part of the whole thing highlighting the thing that has gone on. since 2012 there was a change by the conservative government to do with the contracts. which the coalition put in. it says the conservative government but you are right, it is the coalition, to do with contracting out to private companies. it is a money thing the same thing that happened with how much money you have for school dinners. how much people have in order to be able to how much people have in order to be able to house asylums. what has happened with that is the richest places have managed to ring fence things, the rich are pa rt

to ring fence things, the rich are part of the country who probably don't want asylum seekers there. they say you can't come here. don't want asylum seekers there. they say you can't come harem don't want asylum seekers there. they say you can't come here. it was a function of how much housing costs, rental accommodation is cheaper in certain places and that is where you put them because the money goes further. it is that simple and difficult to draw up a syste m simple and difficult to draw up a system in a different way. you can consciously say we want to spread the burden more broadly but implicit is that is you have to spend a lot of money. underpinning just about half the stories in the newspaper todayis half the stories in the newspaper today is the tight budgetary situation. it is clearly unfair in many ways. but on the other hand, would it be much fairer if we actually had less money to go around, which would be the impact if we decided to house people in more afflue nt we decided to house people in more affluent areas? let's look at the telegraph again. pay of southern railway boss almost doubles. this is charles horton's page that has gone up charles horton's page that has gone up to almost £500,000 for one reason oi’ up to almost £500,000 for one reason or another. and, of course, we know

how beset with all sorts of problems, trains not running, trains being cancelled, and then strikes on this particular railway line. we don't get a lot of detail so we do not see exactly why his pay is going up. i not see exactly why his pay is going up. lam not see exactly why his pay is going up. i am sure the consultants hired by the company to help set his pay have come up with a very rational reason why even though they might be certain problems with the rail group it is totallyjustified. the issue is we look across the board and seek pay rocketing and performance often very mediocre. it is difficult to see, if you look at the data, the connection between executive pay and remuneration. the chief executive's share of company profits has gone up about three or four times over the past ten years. there is no real sense to it. it is part of the bigger thing, parliamentary committee saying they want to end some of the bonus programmes. it is another example of outcomes we don't really understand how they are

justified. it couldjust really understand how they are justified. it could just be that in his contract he is owed this money, maybe as simple as that and there might bea maybe as simple as that and there might be a performance aspect to it. it might be as simple as that but in terms of pr it is a complete disaster. there have been bosses recently who have said i'm not going to ta ke recently who have said i'm not going to take my pay rise because it's not the right thing to do and everyone would have felt happier, because the people who have used southern railway man as we have seen, it has been a disaster and it has been miserable and they will not be happy. he still has the chance to turnit happy. he still has the chance to turn it down, if he wants. he does have a chance to turn it down. back to the ft, or to the ft for the first time. push to close gender gap sta rts first time. push to close gender gap starts at the top. this is how companies can address the gender pay 93p- companies can address the gender pay gap. this month new legislation comes in that big companies will have to publish data that will tell us have to publish data that will tell us just how have to publish data that will tell usjust how big have to publish data that will tell us just how big the gender payback is going to be —— pay gap. us just how big the gender payback is going to be -- pay gap. there is further analysis in the newspaper

but it is an interesting story. there is still obviously a gender pay gap and a friend of mine works in headhunting and working out what is going on with winning and why there aren't more women at the top of companies and why the pay gap is so of companies and why the pay gap is so big. it is partially because companies are not very good, certain of them, not all of them, adjusting their working practices so people can work effectively and maybe they are not constantly five days a week in the office. this is looking at if people at the top just what they are doing to make the company is more available for women, which is interesting, like for example having a
