with a fair bit of cloud. a little bit of rain but, again, come inland and west, it's much brighter and some sunshine and it will feel a good deal warmer as well. much of the rest of the week is looking pretty good with dry weather and light winds and warm in the west. hello. this is bbc news with me, martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines... european council president donald tusk calls on britain to come up with a "serious response" on what will happen to eu citizens living here after brexit. the prime minister theresa may tells voters in scotland that every vote for the conservatives will strengthen the union and strengthen her hand in brexit talks. snp leader nicola sturgeon tells supporters the party "will not let the tories drag scotland backwards". labour leaderjeremy corbyn has defended his style of leadership, saying other party leaders had given in to vested interests and manipulated the public. hello and welcome to our look ahead
10:31 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. there is quite a lot of us! look who was passing and dropped in! with me arejohn rentoul, the chief political columnist at the independent, ruth lea, economic adviser for arbuthnot banking group and the broadcaster charlie wolf. you are here to talk three 100 days of the donald trump administration. we are discombobulated by this new format! tomorrow's front pages.... the observer reports on today's summit of eu leaders saying they want the uk to provide guarantees to eu citizens living in britain before any trade talks can begin. the sunday times also leads on the summit, reporting that the other eu member states have rejected theresa may's negotiating position and accused her of living in a "parallel reality".
10:32 pm
the sunday telegraph says the prime minister has rejected the demands coming from brussels as politicians on both sides of the channel warned that the talks could turn nasty. the mail on sunday reports that theresa may will bring in new laws to prevent a repeat of the sir philip green bhs pension scandal if she wins the election. the sunday express leads on the investigating into the disappearance of madeleine mccann, ten years after she went missing. it says scotland yard's prime suspect is a woman. of course, we will start with brussels. we would not expect anything else. the observer says the eu tells theresa may, give us rights for our citizens or no trade talks. they did not take long to decide that negotiating position, considering there were 27 of them.
10:33 pm
it will not take long to sort out the citizens‘ rights question because everyone is agreed that we will give reciprocal rights, eu citizens here can have their rights and british citizens there can have their own rights so we can get on with the trade talks. cammy? there is the exit bill? were making three points, one is citizens rights, that could be agreed quickly and the financial settlement will be far more contentious and they want 60 billion by the british government says we will not pay anything like that and the third is about the irish border and it was in the notes of donald tusk, when he wrote to theresa may at the beginning of april, he said that some progress had to be made on those things before they could start discussing the new relationship between the uk and eu so none of this new. it is fa ke and eu so none of this new. it is fake news! orjust a rehash? it is a
10:34 pm
fa ke fake news! orjust a rehash? it is a fake rehash. this is a rehash. is that fake? i stung this with andrew neila that fake? i stung this with andrew neil a few years ago, this is kabuki theatre. the japanese theatre. in america it means this posturing, this little dance, this little show, and it is kabuki theatre and these are not issues, citizens' rights, yes. the irish border? i don't see that as an issue. dear me! it is an island so if they are worried about people getting into europe, they will still have to go through a port somewhere? but because of the history of northern ireland and ireland, the heart border was a big issue. that is concerning. i see
10:35 pm
this as a soft border. there has beena this as a soft border. there has been a common travel area well before the european union. the republic of ireland will be staying in the single market and that means the full freedoms of goods and services and capital and labour so anybody working in ireland, if there was no border controls, they could move to northern ireland, so that is an issue and that is an issue on the tablets because if it happens that we have tariffs against the eu, against ireland, that could be an issue. there are mince -- amends political sensitivities also. those are the specific things you can relate to the republic of ireland, it will remain in the eu and we will leave so that issue has to be discussed. it will not be straightforward. i think it could be
10:36 pm
resolved whereas the exit bill could not be resolved because they want 60 billion and we want to pay 10 billion and we want to pay 10 billion or 5 billion, quite a big 93p- billion or 5 billion, quite a big gap. if that is not resolved then nothing else can be. you will come back to that in a second but i want to do with the other story on the front page of the observer, labour pledged to outlaw all zero hours contracts, these have been very controversial, charlie is saying! put a halt to unpaid internships. ruth, with a business background, what is your view? i am not keen on zero hours contracts but if it is a choice between a job and nojob, i wa nt choice between a job and nojob, i want a choice between a job and nojob, i wantajob, choice between a job and nojob, i want a job, with zero hours. i have never had one of those, i have always been lucky with my employment, until i got the sack! but that is history. it was rather unfortunate. when labour puts all of
10:37 pm
these extra restrictions on employment any to be careful, they are also talking... you say restrictions but they are safeguards for employees? do you have a job or not? if you have the job, you have more rights and safeguards but if it is harder to get into the labour market, that is a problem. it is always great to sit next to somebody like ruth, an economist, iwish always great to sit next to somebody like ruth, an economist, i wish they would teach more economics in schools, you can at £15 every other, make it 50 of it ever, if you don't have a job, it doesn't matter. there isa have a job, it doesn't matter. there is a finite pot of money generally and a lot of companies, and companies will pay you top dollar if they can. we'll be? all of them? those shareholders support that? i never chap who runs 30 mcdonald's restaurants and others discussing
10:38 pm
how you save money, with kiosks, he says the way they do this, it takes more backroom staff, they want a good product but you cannot pay more going out than what is coming in. with zero hours, we have to turn up for work and you are only paid when you physically do the job. for work and you are only paid when you physically do the jobli for work and you are only paid when you physically do the job. i agree with ruth, they are not ideal but for some people they are quite convenient. when mcdonald‘s offered employees the chance to switch from zero hours to fixed hours. that was only taken up by a minority of the staff. it suggests that for some people, at zero hours contract is preferred because it is flexible and what they want. the labour position used to be that it was against exploitative zero hours contracts, i do not know how you define that.
10:39 pm
exploitative zero hours contracts, i do not know how you define thatm is the same with minimum wage. especially if talking about youth, you want to get onto the ladder. you wa nt you want to get onto the ladder. you want the training that you get from these very good firms. i will mention mcdonald's, they do a very good job... are they sponsoring new? seriously, they have one of the best training programmes in the world.” don‘t think we have time to delve into mcdonald‘s! don‘t think we have time to delve into mcdonald's! if they had a chance from a company like them and there are other companies that sell similar products, i would pay them to get my first job similar products, i would pay them to get my firstjob because it gets you into the market and you rise up. we don‘t have time to do with the criticisms of mcdonald‘s over the yea rs criticisms of mcdonald‘s over the years so we can criticisms of mcdonald‘s over the years so we can look at the other brussels story, theresa may rejects brussels, she is saying, she is laughing them off. i think this is fa ke laughing them off. i think this is fake news. i think she is right, it
10:40 pm
is just politics. fake news. i think she is right, it isjust politics. posturing on both sides. it is kabuki theatre and i used to work for the japanese so i should know! tough terms for brexit? we know these terms. these were donald tusk's terms. there is no news. it is not news but it illustrates something i have been talking about for years... let refinish! i think i have conked out! i have forgotten what i was saying. you said you knew this but what is new is they got together, the new topline, 27 countries. that was expected, i didn't know anybody who did not expect those 27 countries to reject the guidelines today. i don't think anybody expected that to happen. the piece yesterday, very
10:41 pm
interested in the project. and nothing else but the project. if greece goes down, big deal, what was a line from the simpsons? — one welcome our new alien overlords and i have always thought that about jean—claude juncker and donald tusk. they did not let greece go down. he saidi they did not let greece go down. he said i would never have taken the deal, they are interested in the project and if they want 60 billion, i will tell them where to put that. if they want the project to survive, they cannot make it look too easy for britain? even if they are not ganging up, as angela merkel said? it is not in their interests to allow us to have as good a deal but where i disagree with charlie is the idea that it is going to be good for britain, economically, to leave the eu,i britain, economically, to leave the eu, ido britain, economically, to leave the eu, i do not think it is. ruth will
10:42 pm
back me up. free trade makes you better off. and we‘re going to have less free trade with the european union. we may or may not, if we leave without any agreement, it is feasible but not optimal and it is much better if some sort of trade agreement is negotiated with the european union and i think there will be one. there is posturing, there is no doubt, they have to, but why do i think there will be a trade agreement? because it is in their interests, they have a whacking great trade interest. and they are interested in the project, interested in the project, interested not in punishing us but in making sure we do not benefit. they are not going to bash their own export industries en route. if they are economically rational and sensible... they may not be! nordstrom is the trade commissioner and she said there will be a trade
10:43 pm
agreement, for sure. i would take the record collection in the divorce, i would take the other side's clothing and dump that on the front lawn and say, i will keep the re cord front lawn and say, i will keep the record collection, you can have the kids and just end it! dme! tories sidestep the heathrow split, the conservative manifesto will not mention the heathrow third runway? interesting, we‘re getting close to crunch day on the tory manifesto, that will be published on monday week. big decisions have to be made as to what will be in it and it looks as if theresa may has decided not to mention heathrow. that solves that. do they need to? they don't because apparently there is no decision that will be imminent about heathrow but at some point i wish they would push ahead and get on with this third runway. i know boris was against this as the mayor. sensible chap? i thought it was a
10:44 pm
jolly good idea to have a third runway! i think this is very hopeful news for those who do not agree. the sensor that it —— sensitivities of borrowers have been dealt with, they wa nt borrowers have been dealt with, they want zachjohnson borrowers have been dealt with, they want zach johnson to win richmond. he was ousted not so long ago. well, he resigned in protest against heathrow and he now wants to be the conservative mp, even the policy has not changed. to me, this is not necessarily an election, this is the second referendum in advance. this isa second referendum in advance. this is a one issue election, the labour party withjeremy is a one issue election, the labour party with jeremy corbyn, whatever his visa on the runway, the least of his visa on the runway, the least of his problems, and they
