across the southern half of the uk. again, a range of temperatures. only ten or 11 celsius for the north sea coast. head further west, 1a or 15 celsius. again, a cool day on that north sea coast on tuesday, 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, light winds and warm in the west. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: the eu says the rights of its citizens must come before any trade talks, warning britain not to underestimate the challenges of brexit. it comes as theresa may tells scottish voters every vote for the conservatives will strengthen her hand in the brexit talks. jeremy corbyn defends his leadership qualities, accusing the prime minister of a "bunker mentality." a fleet of us warships arrives off north korea as pyongyang carries out another missile test.

the sunday telegraph says the prime minister has rejected the demands coming from brussels with politicians on both sides of the channel warning that the talks could turn nasty. the mail on sunday focuses on pensions, reporting that theresa may will bring in new laws to prevent a repeat of the sir philip green bhs scandal if she wins the election. the independent has a photo of theresa may campaigning in scotland but its lead story is about jeremy corbyn. it says the labour leader is looking at curbing arms sales to repressive regimes as it plans its manifesto. and the sunday express concentrates on the investigation into the disappearance of madeleine mccann, ten years after she went missing. it says scotland yard's prime suspect is a woman. and now we will look at how some of

the papers have been covering the meeting in brussels of the 27 states you want to remain part of. eu. ff—% —s=ezgg give us ff—% —"'z’55 give us our ff—% —2 give us our rights ff—% —"'z’55 give us our rights or the observer. give us our rights or no trade talks. they urge a spirit of good will in the talks. do they really? i think there is a bit of posturing in these talks. there is no question about citizens‘ rights. everyone has agreed on that. what will be an issue is the price. how much will the exit deal cost? i could take a long time. that is where all the outlandish phrases about theresa may living in another galaxy or a parallel universe are coming from. the amount we want to pay and how much they want us to pay are so pay and how much they want us to pay are so farapart. pay and how much they want us to pay are so far apart. who will win that argument? they both will. yes. i am an economist. you never see a
11:34 pm
argument? they both will. yes. i am an economist. you never see a person an economist. you never see a person who is an economist with one hand. they say they will start with the divorce proceedings. i quite agree. the financial settlement will be the big rob them. there has to be substantial progress before with dot discussing the new relationship between the eu and the uk. —— problem. but if there is significant progress made, they will start trade talks. it is easy, charlie, to think that britain mfg talks. it is easy, charlie, to think that britain as? trade deal that britain needs the trade deal more than anyone elsebut of course we do more than anyone elsebut of course wedoa more than anyone elsebut of course we do a lot of business with the eu. exactly. i don‘t see why we need to pay to leave. i don‘t get the concept. i believe in a thing called powers of state and statecraft. will
11:35 pm
they come and collect the money? will they take us to court? if you have agreed to chip in to something, shouldn‘t you on that? have agreed to chip in to something, shouldn't you on that? not like this. this is like a hollywood divorce. it is almost like, who was it, judge ida bore, —— zsa zsa. you know, i will keep the house. to me, it just shows what the eu know, i will keep the house. to me, itjust shows what the eu is all about. i will always believe this. we don‘t need them. we will happily trade with the individual states or with the eu as a whole. they will wa nt to with the eu as a whole. they will want to sell their products. we need a deal to do that. we will come back to the deal. the front of the observer. labour pledged to put a halt to unpaid internships and zero
11:36 pm
contracts. it is really small thinking. i would contracts. it is really small thinking. iwould rather contracts. it is really small thinking. i would rather have an economy that is moving and giving people the chance to participate in it than this. we are supposed to be grown—ups. if the deal is not good, don‘t take the deal. grown—ups. if the deal is not good, don't take the deal. but if you are desperate for a job? then the deal is good. it is still your decision at the end of the day. again, i would rather have, in certain situations, a job at low pay, at least knowing i am working, and have the ability to, you know... there have been some bad press things written about zero—hours contracts. what he is saying is an arguable, a job is better than nojob. but you don't exploit workers, that is part of the. —— inarguable. labour's policy is that they are against
11:37 pm
exploitative zero—hour contracts. policy is that they are against exploitative zero— hour contracts. i think they can be good ones sometimes. but the band altogether isa sometimes. but the band altogether is a bit heavy—handed, actually. sometimes. but the band altogether is a bit heavy-handed, actually. you risk people losing jobs. taking the pay cap off of public sector workers, well, where is the money going to come from? we are still running a deficit of 2.5% of gdp. willjeremy running a deficit of 2.5% of gdp. will jeremy corbyn running a deficit of 2.5% of gdp. willjeremy corbyn raise another £20 billion? i worry about that and his attitudes to finance. when it comes to these, minimum wages, living wages, the ones it affects and are in 7fi.g— ' are to et on the ladder faifi'ii' an -lace and build u- at any place and build up experience. theyfi the ones that experience. they are the ones that suffer the most. unskilled. both of them have a stunt of raising the minimum wage. they are campaigning
11:38 pm
and using some other guy‘s money. if they want benefit out of the tax funds, you can argue about it. but i don‘t want martine‘s money to get me a vote. i am so relieved. the telegraph. theresa may rejects a vote. i am so relieved. the telegraph. therese no |y rejects a vote. i am so relieved. the telegraph. therese no |y rejec than they have been thrown out. posturing and posturing. she won‘t, in my view. it is facetious to expect they will both win. what happens in a negotiation ordinarily? if you don‘t like it, don‘t agree. negotiation ordinarily? if you don‘t like it, don't agree. when she gave her but i do think she is very enough. but i do think she is very keen to get some sort of deal. and i hope that we do get a deal. because
11:39 pm
i don‘t think it is a good idea strategically or indeed economically if you simply just walked away from the eu. it would be bad form or all—round. but i am optimistic there is enough good will. i think there is enough good will. i think there is reasonable good will on all sides. it is in the interests of everybody. but there are constraints. she cannot offer a large amount of money, theresa may, because voters back home will not buy it. she said we will fulfil our obligations. that could be a0 billion pounds! soon you will be talking large sums of money!” billion pounds! soon you will be talking large sums of money! i am disputing that. i think they are very keen to do a deal. why would the papers exaggerate this? because they are papers. journalists, ay! yeah, yeah, they just they are papers. journalists, ay! yeah, yeah, theyjust want a good headline. they are scandalous rags!
11:40 pm
there is a very good matt cartoon on there is a very good matt cartoon on the telegraph. we will not take part but we have to keep paying, like gym membership. somebody reading the brexit bill. theresa may keeps saying she needs a big majority so she has got the mandate to negotiate how she wants to within brexit. is there any chance you will hold onto there any chance you will hold onto the single market or the customs union? this is an area i am not totally a n union? this is an area i am not totally an expert on. i don‘t think we really need to copy from people i have spoken to that none more about these things than i do, i think that ina these things than i do, i think that in a sense you are still a member of europe by the backdoor because you will still have these laws affecting it. -- that will still have these laws affecting it. —— that know. i want three and fair trade. i it. —— that know. i want three and fairtrade. iam not it. —— that know. i want three and fair trade. i am not against europe. —— free. these people are leaks that
11:41 pm
are above everything. they have no democratic mandate as far as i am concerned. but i want to trade with europe, i want to do and travel in europe. but we believe europe and make it more difficult. we will are leaving the single market, the customs union, no doubt about it. that will cause economic harm to this nation. i am not convinced that is true. things will continue as they are doing. even under the wto this will continue. but we will have to pay tariffs and there will be less of it. they will pay more to us then we will do them because they have a very huge trade deficit. —— them. 60 billion quid! what is? the trade deficit! don't argue with an
11:42 pm
economist. tory sidestep heathrow split. the manifesto, will it mention heathrow? i don't think so. we are one week away from the publication of the manifesto. theresa may looks like she will dodge one issue that is difficult because borisjohnson dodge one issue that is difficult because boris johnson and zac goldsmith, who wants to be an mp again, are both opposed to it. don't mention the war or heathrow. what does that suggest to you about when a decision will be made, then? they will be kicking this down the runway, pretty much. runway? this election is all about brexit. this is giving her that referendum before the referendum so she can argue under herown terms, the referendum so she can argue under her own terms, which, in some respects, i think, under her own terms, which, in some respects, ithink, is needed. we decided to get out. this is negotiating. you have to live it to
11:43 pm
one person to take the lead—up to that makes sense. i can see it. jeremy corbyn, talking to some labour people the other night, they told me they were scared to death of him. but jeremy corbyn has incredible grassroots support. he made not the popular among his parliamentary party... but that will not go. if they lose the next election, we should not really assume they will, but i think they have odds against them for a win. but if they do and jeremy corbyn steps down, does he go as leader? the membership could vote him back again. opinion polls keep saying he will. the gap is slightly closer thanit will. the gap is slightly closer than it has been under three opinion polls, though. 50? 40? 11, 17, and 13. i was in favour of him getting involved. i thought we could hear
