bringing us tomorrow. with me — kate devlin, political correspondent at the herald, and the broadcaster david davies. education correspondent, political correspondence. so a lot to talk about. they have had a sneak preview, let's give you an idea on what is in the front pages tomorrow morning. ‘north korea threatens trump with nuclear war‘ is the is headline, after the country promised ‘weekly missile tests‘. the times claims europe is braced for a new migrant crisis, after turkey's president erdogan indicated he may issue brussels with an ultimatum on visa—free travel. the guardian leads with a report from afghanistan on the impact of last week's bomb attack by us forces. according to the daily telegraph, schoolchildren will be given better access to nhs mental health workers. the paper featured an exclusive interview with prince harry today about his personal battle. meanwhile, the daily mail says the duke of cambridge will call for an end to the uk's stiff upper

lip culture, and encourage people to talk openly about their emotions. the metro has fresh allegations about facebook and the social media phenomenon of so—called ‘fake news‘. top story for the express is ‘crackdown on foreign crooks‘, with new rules to be announced by the justice secretary, liz truss, tomorrow. the mirror has the latest speculation on the disappearance of madeleine mccann. almost ten years since she vanished in portugal. so let‘s begin... who wants to kick off with this? what has he got to be so cheerful about, david ? what has he got to be so cheerful about, david? well, i suppose we will have to get used to apocalyptic headlines like this. north korea threatens trump with nuclear war. this is what, in the past, i would have said, it is an exaggeration. it
10:47 pm
is not now because it appears to me that we are in uncharted waters in a very big way, and i have seen some of the interviews you have been doing on the news channel during the day. the most difficult thing seems to me to be that there is no confidence at all that what is a logical discussion that we might regard as logical, the americans might regard as a logical discussion between civil servants in washington and in pyongyang is regarded in that way at all by those in north korea. so they are not talking the same language at all. civil servants don‘t understand each other in the same way and that is before you get to the political leaders. kate, i don‘t know if north korea was on the list of countries who might have a free—trade deal with us after brexit, i don‘t know if boris johnson david davis fancy going! i am sure we have something we could
10:48 pm
sell! we were talking not that long ago, britain‘s first ambassador, in 2002, the first time we have had an ambassador there, and he says he had no sense that people in pyongyang in government circles had any idea of the uk thinking in the foreign office, and in what used to be called the chancelleries of europe. it is quite terrifying and frankly, britain‘s role is pretty marginal. it is, and you are right. most days, he looks like a smiling madmen. especially today. he is chortling. the contrast what you are saying about this ministry we also have to look at donald trump and most of his civil servants are still grappling with what he really thinks which seems to be changing on a daily basis. there is so much tough talk from both sides. it is apocalyptic
10:49 pm
language. i wonder if we are getting hints... people are pulling back from it? it does seem the us is now emphasising diplomatic routes and sanctions. this negotiation idea, both of them, is itjust tough sanctions. this negotiation idea, both of them, is it just tough talk is? i absolutely want you to be right! the problem is, how much room for manoeuvre is that? we have had sanctions for years. years and years and years. and the truth is, they have not worked. i would love to know what former president obama thinks about where we are today. and indeed, interesting to know what hillary clinton thinks about it. whether it would have been any different to president trump. yes, had those things happened. we are still just about at this stage of,
10:50 pm
well, if you do that, we will do the other things. all the rest of it, that cannot go on forever. shall we move on the front the express? what about prince harry in a moment and a lovely picture of his brother and sister—in—law talking about praising prince harry for coming out about his mental anguish. but this story about a crackdown on foreign oil site like the stories we get at this time of year when papers get given stuff before the bank holiday and they think it will be a quiet run. the stay back at work. tell us about the story and how much do you think it stands? it is important to remember this particular minister needs a win at the moment, liz truss has had a lot of difficulties in re ce nt has had a lot of difficulties in recent weeks, heavily criticised by the judiciary, recent weeks, heavily criticised by thejudiciary, overruled recent weeks, heavily criticised by the judiciary, overruled in some of that initiatives she has tried to bring in. so this is an interesting
10:51 pm
story and it does depend on what the detail will be. as always! who are these foreign crooks we are cracking down on? the problem might be there not that many of them. there are quite a lot of foreign crooks and people who have been turned down for asylum. so it is that old thing of getting people out of the country ain? getting people out of the country again? yes, and putting the two together. even the minister of justice is suggesting this would be 2,000 cases a year and it would save around 2.7 million. which in the grand scheme of things is fairly small. there is another figure in the middle of the story, the backlog of cases of asylum seekers deemed subject to removal action,", stood at nearly 27,000 last year, not including the thousands and royal in legal appeals against the rejection of their applications to stay. i hate to be a sin at, but i have an
10:52 pm
instinct that this is more work. i hate to be a cynic. more work than my loan and friends! surely not, there are quotes from liz truss saying it is vital and they should be removed as quickly as possible. i feel i have heard this before, and remember charles clarke and there was all that stuff about foreign prisoners who should be kicked out after serving their sentences here and they banished, and john reid before he said the home office was broken. it is now the ministry of justice. these stories seem to come round on a regular basis. yes, and it seems quite difficult to achieve, so it seems quite difficult to achieve, so it seems as if they have narrowed the field of what they are doing. talking about case reviews for each individual case and you can see why they are only talking about 2,000 cases a year. in some ways, job done. front page of the express, and
10:53 pm
the telegraph. good headlines for a minister in difficulty going back to work on tuesday. we mention harry, the on the front of the daily telegraph and you cannot blame them for milking this story. it is a cracker of a story. from their own paper today, at watershed moment for the mental health debate, that is top of tomorrow‘s daily telegraph and about time too. let‘s hope prince harry‘s revelation that he took counselling to come to terms with his mother‘s death has the same effect that that same mother had when she got involved in the hiv aid debate. which was extraordinary. a ca ta lyst debate. which was extraordinary. a catalyst for so much in terms of changing attitudes. a lot of hostility towards people with hiv and she became a reassuring figure and she became a reassuring figure and a lot of people were very nervous about how we should deal
10:54 pm
with it and react. absolutely, but i could not help on the way in here the studio, we saw the ten o‘clock news stop and there we have, my goodness, a change for children taking maths and that is, i think, is that right? and the grading systems. where is this coming from? politicians again. some of us have lived through education revolution of the education revolution. going back 30 years or more! and you get toa back 30 years or more! and you get to a point, are our politicians in this country incapable of finding a consensus, a consensus for a set number of consensus, a consensus for a set number of years, from whichever political party they come from. and letting the teachers get on with the job. this is the teachers
10:55 pm
conference. i am job. this is the teachers conference. | am sure job. this is the teachers conference. i am sure you have spent many happy weekends! some of us have the wounds from the past. we were talking about this then and we are no further. kate, finally, do you think something like this differently in schools in scotland in terms of issues like support for pupils in crisis and counselling, compared to what has happened and in england? i think across the uk, all schools are still struggling to understand the scale and extent of the problem. and then to try and deal with a societywide stigma. but it talks about depression and anxiety on the increase of 70% in the last 25 years. among young people. i don't think we have yet grappled with how big a problem it is. hopefully, we will talk about this more at half past 11. that is a

flavour of what is coming up. thank you, kate and david. you‘ll both be back at 11:30 for another look at the front pages. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, kate and david. you‘ll both be back at 11:30. the skies are starting to clear that we‘re in for the skies are starting to clear that we‘re infora the skies are starting to clear that we‘re in for a chilly night, a touch of frost around in many areas, and a sharp frost across the far north of england and scotland. this is the cloud in the last few hours which has built up during the day, and the cloud is breaking up now so the skies clearing and temperatures will
10:57 pm
dip away. for a time, around late evening and into the early hours of tuesday, we could have thicker cloud and showers across the east, east anglia and the south east. other than that, it is clear and this is the frost developing across the north, these obvious that he temperatures. general areas and that the south, close to freezing or below which had not come as a surprise to get across this time of year. but with blacking up this could be damaging to some plans and even crops “— could be damaging to some plans and even crops —— but it is worth flagging up that this could be damaging. weather looking beautiful, chilly with light winds and strong sunshine already. 11—5 across the southin sunshine already. 11—5 across the south in wales. the north west as north coast of northern ireland and western scotland, thickening cloud through the morning, into the afternoon a very weak weather front will bring spots of the result to stornoway and maybe the other western isles, but east of scotland is fine and the rest of the country also lots of fine weather. the best

weather, eastern coast, the midlands, east anglia, the south east, along the south coast. and the english channel coast. 30 degrees in plymouth, single figures in the north, around nine. tuesday night, into wednesday, another chilly night on the way, particularly across the south. high pressure anchors itself across southern parts of the uk, during wednesday, so this is the best weather. the brightest. in the north, breeze coming off the atlantic, thicker cloud and again spots of rain. temperatures not spectacular, typically around 12 degrees, and very little change on thursday. a bit of cloud and sunshine and the warmest weather as you would expect further south east, around 16 degrees. the summary for the week ahead, very little rain with that area of high pressure, not feeling too cold during the day, but the night will certainly be on the chilly side, goodbye.
