this is bbc news with lukwesa barak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. the us confirms it's assessing its military response militants in afghanistan — 36 militants are thought to have been killed. against the government, over part of its plans to expand selective education in england. and pope francis marks good friday with the traditional via crucis jim broadbent and charlotte rampling star in the sense of an ending, we will getjames star in the sense of an ending, we will get james king's thoughts star in the sense of an ending, we will getjames king's thoughts on

that and the rest of the cinema releases in the film review. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are journalist and broadcaster helen croydon and business editor for the independent, josie cox. tomorrow's front pages, starting with: the mirror says north korea and the us are edging towards a nuclear war — it says kim jong—un threatens a "merciless response" to any provocation. the same story is on the times front page, the telegraph concentrates mike pompeo, who has said rogue states should take note of donald trump's forthright military decisions in syria and afghanistan. the premier league is set to announce a record loss due to new accounting rules and the fall

in the value of sterling, that's according to documents seen by the financial times. the daily mail says learner drivers will soon be tested on whether they can follow directions from satnavs in a shake—up of the driving test. the daily express leads with the tension surrounding north korea, with the country vowing to target american bases in south korea if war broke out. the guardian reports on north korea too, but also headlines the news that some doctors are being offered £95 an hour by hospitals short of staff. and the i says teachers are preparing to take legal action to stop academy schools selecting pupils. they slip that in there to catch me out. let's get on with it. helen, journalist and author, josie cox, business editor with the

independent, we will start with some frightening is perhaps, the daily mirror. absolutely, this headline will ravage us soldiers: we have seen other headlines like this but nothing quite as brutal. and it really sums up the weight of the rhetoric is heating up. we must emphasise it is korea saying that. there is a lot being said. that is absolutely right. but nonetheless, this is starting to sound like fiction, quite frankly. something more out of a thriller novel than anything i have seen before. what i think is interesting here is china's role. china is obviously a friend of north korea, but at the same time,

trump has also seemed to turn towards china a little bit, and he is actually asking china to use their leverage to preventing from escalating to much. while trump is playing very hard ball here and saying "we will bomb you if you are not careful" basically, at the same time, there is an element and a bit ofa time, there is an element and a bit of a sense that he is saying "help us of a sense that he is saying "help us out here, we don't in —— don't wa nt us out here, we don't in —— don't want things to end..." us out here, we don't in —— don't want things to end. trump is perhaps changing his tone, we all remember when he first became president he and noise china by going against convention and saying, we are not bothered about doing trade with you, he called up the leader of taiwan, made a little gesture towards ‘he he? kind he“? kind . gone é we are

said, actually, china, we are serious... i think trump is kind of realising that all these big things he said at the beginning of his presidency, like" i will get rid of isis, get tough on trade with china", things are heating up and he is having to backtrack on a lot of those things, and the complexity of everything comes to the surface. yet the message that the daily telegraph are putting out is coming direct from the cia, who appear to be happy with this... yes. the cia as we all remember when trump first came into office was at loggerheads with him a“-: 5.54.25. e! !;“—.5'5'::—'h::—.:54:. {£595 it” ' ' and investigating a“-: 5.54.25. e! !;“—.5'5'::—'h::—.:54:. {fisi‘jlz l.” ' ' and investigating him a“-: 5.54.25. e! !;“—.5'5'::—'l::—.:54:. {fisi‘jlz l' ' ' and investigating him over a“-: 5.54.25. e! !;“—.;'5'::—~l::—.:54:. {fisi‘jlz l' ' ' and investigating him over his links to russia. and now they are saying, yes, this is the right thing, we should be showing our north korea. but while i think, to north korea. but while i think, why didn't he do that before, we do have to show the military might, because this is scary stuff, they

claim they can bond south korea within minutes, —— bomb south korea within minutes, —— bomb south korea within minutes. they have threatened to attack us bases in guam and japan, but one part of me thinks, well, rather than do it now than later, because north korea is only going to get stronger in its weapons testing, but equally, why didn't they do it sooner, for it got to this stage, it is we don't know the of. strength of north programme. the site is the korea's programme. the site is the only nuclear weapons test site in the “eli that only nuclear weapons test site in the 5.2.3 that - korea use. § why : why are so jittery this is why people are so jittery because it is the only one that a jest —— exists. josie, let's turn to the guardian. and yes, north korea is on the front page here, with a picture of kim jong—un, is on the front page here, with a picture of kimjong—un, but is on the front page here, with a picture of kim jong—un, but the story that we are going to concentrate on concerns money, hard

money, £95 an hour if you are a doctor, and a senior one at that. crisis at home as well as abroad by the sounds of things, it is all bad news these days. this is a story about a hospital in peter brock —— peterborough, £95 a shift, you are almost pocketing a grand day. but while this sounds excessive, they are offering this because there is fio are offering this because there is no unavailable, we are in a crisis, we get headline a day on the poor conditions within the nhs, the problems, the shortfalls, i am just concerned that all this bad press around the nhs, which is not getting any better, is just around the nhs, which is not getting any better, isjust going to breed even more problems, because how as a junior doctor would you have any appetite to go and work in a system thatis appetite to go and work in a system that is so dysfunctional? if the nhs

we re that is so dysfunctional? if the nhs were a business, as a model, straightaway leaders of the business would say, right, we have not got enough staff, if we are having to pay £95 an hour, literally in desperation, the first thing they would do is recruit more people, invest in training, that is what any good business would do. but i'm not sure that is what the nhs is good business would do. but i'm not sure that is article he nhs is good business would do. but i'm not sure that is article shows is good business would do. but i'm not sure that is article shows the sheer doing. this article shows the sheer desperation of staff calling on doctors, saying we are really desperate, why has to that point? and web you start fixing the nhs? that is the problem. and it all might —— also makes you question quality of care, in these over e—mails over guardian is regorting e—mails, essentially. e—mails over guardian is regorting ie-mails, essentially. we must sos e-mails, essentially. we must point out, if you do get a chance to pick up the paper, and you are tempted to go see your gp or you'll will nurse, this is that amd doctors

-- a&e will nurse, this is that amd doctors —— a&e doctors, don't have a go at your local nurse, this is for senior doctors in a&e. let go to and other extreme, and it is a zero our contract, this is your area of speciality, josie. this is a story in the ft, based on an interview with matthew taylor, who was tony blair's former policy chief, and la st blair's former policy chief, and last october made headlines when teresa may hide him to lead and independent review into working conditions —— theresa may. the gig economy is exploding at a rapid rate, which is causing problems. what he is proposing is that we introduce a premium on minimum wage, the people who actually do zero our work have our contracts. —— zero

hour contracts. which would give employers less incentive to mark around, basically, and call them up at 7am and say they don't need to come into a shift. there are several problems here, first of all it will not sit well with employers because they have so many other pressures facing them at the moment, the rise in business rates, minimum wage has gone up, and on top of that we have a load of economic uncertainty coming into play as a result of brexit. it doesn't solve the problem, putting a premium on the pay rate is only going to be a very minimum amount per hour, whereas you have rules instead, perhaps to give them notice, you cannotjust cancel a shift on the day that the work is supposed to be done, perhaps fine the company instead. i don't think that adding another pound or two now will deter these things. —— pound or two and ally. we will stay with

money, car loans could be the source of the new financial crisis. a very quick summary? just as we are getting out, the wounds healing of the credit crunch crisis, which was all caused ire at borrowing too much money, it is now transpired that we are borrowing too much money on cars. £30 billion a year, is shocking when you look at the figure. when comes to cars, in a way it is worse than houses because we never really pay it back, because as soon as you pay back your car is appreciated, and you want a new one or you will upgrade your car. cars are depreciating items, so to borrow so are depreciating items, so to borrow so heavily on it is double danger, even more so heavily on it is double danger, even more dangerous than borrowing ona even more dangerous than borrowing on a house. josie, i am desperate to get to men and height, how is that

for a tease. very quick summary of the telegraph, again, the eu is to axe its green targets, or rather that eu -- axe its green targets, or rather that eu —— the axe its green targets, or rather that eu -- the uk axe its green targets, or rather that eu —— the uk is to axe the eu's green targets. the uk is at the moment committing to getting 15% of all its energy from renewable sources by 2020, it does not look like that is going to happen, those targets look way too ambitious, and effectively the uk is saying, right, let's cut the targets, brexit is happening, it might be irrelevant anyway. let's turn to the times, this is on page three. very important news. man has not always been statuesque, we are not at our peak height. there is this myth that as centuries have gone on and we have got healthier batman's height, —— that men's height, it doesn't

mention women, but men's height has gone up. the peak —— the peak of male height was in the 1600, just after the black death, in fact. and then we regressed, and they think it was that after the black death which killed so many millions of people, we all had my land —— more land per capita, so we were at our peak health, more food, and we were at —— at our peak height. josie, men's height, does it matter? what a question. does it matter to you as a woman? you can be honest. no. my partner is 6—foot fight, so i... woman? you can be honest. no. my partner is 6-foot fight, so i... you have got to say yes! whether it is an indication of health, i am not sure these days. it gives a nice

short little look into abolition and how history... the reason women are supposedly programmed to be attracted to a taller man is because it symbolises strength and the ability to better hunt and fight... my ability to better hunt and fight... my husband is over six foot. that is it for the papers tonight, thank you josie and helen. stay with us here on bbc news, because coming up next is the film review.
