, she is thatcher, do you think she is margaret thatcher mark two. thatcher, do you think she is margaret thatcher mark ton thatcher, do you think she is margaret thatcher mark two. i hate to be sceptical, but there was a bit of donald trump, the best defence is fence. how do you take the coronation of theresa may off the headlines? you say here is our enemy across the waters. how'd you get all of the ukip voters on board? you create the enemy out of the eu. is that too sceptical? no, well, what do you think? i'm more sceptical. she is fighting two battles. she is fighting the election. and also fighting the election. and also fighting brexit. two are obviously incredibly mashed, but she's going for the election first because that is what she's got to win in the short term. she's doing it by making a pitch for the ukip voters, who now are not sure where to go and she doesn't want to lose them. she doesn't want to lose them. she doesn't feel she has to worry about jeremy corbyn so she is attacking

and browsing up that fierce british spirits, we won't take it, we will fight them on the beaches. there is a bit of that. and there is nothing like insulting people to rally your supporters, a wonderful picture of the election. and talk of other people getting involved in other people's elections. no russia, not yet. the cartoon in the daily telegraph. he is very gifted. prime minister, the brexit bill is 100 billion euros and the eu wants to know if you would like to add a tip. very good. let's go to the ft. this was the newspaper that yesterday had the story that the amount of money thatis the story that the amount of money that is going to have to go to europe would be 100 billion euros. that is before a lot of other arguments. they've got a lot of stuff about the famous dinner?m

has been very interesting since it leaked from the frankfurt newspaper about exactly what went on and who said what. it was absolutely like a dire situation. about hatred, and threats, and it was reported as terrible. the ft broke the story of the hundred billion amount of money. and it says it was triggered by reports yesterday that germany, france, and poland were pressing for britain to pay this bill on leaving the eu. there has been a claw back since. the people involved, some of them at that dinner, have been saying tonight that it is not going to be that steep. that she is an honourable woman playing a good game. words to that effect, anyway. and ameliorating the hostility and

the intensity of the hostility. this is martin sa'u meyer, chief of staff tojunker. is martin sa'u meyer, chief of staff to junker. coming out is martin sa'u meyer, chief of staff tojunker. coming out with 100 billion euros and david davies says, well, that is their opening gambit, well, that is their opening gambit, we will anchor it to the other side. —— but selmire has come out and said that. he's trying to play down as a tough negotiator. everybody is posturing and we can all relax. considering there is an election, this is the issue she is making the headlines with, we haven't heard any tory policy, we haven't heard their manifesto, we don't know what they stand for, but we all expected to vote because she is strong and offering strong government in the face of our enemy. we know who the

enemy is. it is focused absolutely on her. i heard her speech. the word me was used a lot. you teach people to negotiate. do you think they are doing a good job of it? absolutely. it is all about anchoring your position in one extreme. and the other. and hopefully not insulting individuals along the way to such an extent that you have no room to manoeuvre and come to an agreement. to the extent that trump said, of his opponent, he said, you know, lock her up. when the election was over he said i didn't mean it, it was a tactic for the election. perhaps all of this is a tactic for the election. when we get round to it they will be nice as pie, give or take, and it could be a soft brexit. fake news, that expression hasn't been used, thank goodness. let's talk about the money. enormous sums

of money are being thrown around. but we have to be careful, i think, because it sounds as if we will have to pay them a vast amount of money. but actually, we will in the end, if we believe the reports, be owed a lot of money, as well. it is money we would have been paying anyway. this is the exit bill. you know, the divorce bill is the wrong way of phrasing it, it is money that we would have been paying in any case. and we are continuing to pay it a year on year until we have brexit, which isn't on the horizon for a couple of years. couple of years, this is just the couple of years. couple of years, this isjust the beginning of a lot of brexit and exit. thank you. we can move on to the guardian. we have this story. it is about school scanners. i cannot find mine. it's on the bottom. what's interesting

is, it sounds enormously sensible but the police are urging to take action to stop people stabbing each other to death. what could be more sensible than that? however, when you look into it, it presents certain problems because they are suggesting that schools have scanners and the children go through, the knives are discovered and everybody is pleased. but at the end of the story it says that most of the killings are done in the street, at the school gate. after school, in the evenings. that's right. it is a marvellous impulse, quite the right impulse, but it doesn't answer the problem which is the enormous increase, 24% in the la st the enormous increase, 24% in the last year of deaths in the capital. young people are killing each other and something has to happen. it is a well meant gesture. this is a slight echo, probably not quite so bad, of

what has been happening in america the years. terrible things happen in the years. terrible things happen in the schoolrooms. the debate is not just about scanners, it is whether staff should be armed and so on. the issue in the us is guns. here it is knives. it is unfortunate, the idea, but many schools in the us have airport tight security, as well, because you either go in that direction, or you have people armed. neither one of good. having these arches perhaps stigmatises a school. 0n the other hand, if i was a parent i would feel more confident by that. but the police say the real issue is we need to find where these nests of knives are and take care of it that way. and also, just because it doesn't happen in school doesn't mean it won't happen when kids are going home or going to school. the police say we need to find the stashes. where they are being kept.

they are not being kept at schools. parents would feel relieved to know that their children will be safe for a few hours. terrible statistics. crime generally is on a downward trend, we keep being told, but this sort of crime, violent crime and crime affecting young people, as you say, seems to be ballooning. crime affecting young people, as you say, seems to be ballooninglj crime affecting young people, as you say, seems to be ballooning. i don't know why it should be so. boredom, dissatisfaction, horror movies, frightening thing is happening. the world is unstable in many ways. there is a great sense of unease about communities. perhaps they have picked that up. i don't know. perhaps it would take somebody wiser. a lot of different approaches. not one thing. talking about the world being an uncertain place, we go inside the times about facebook moderators. mark zuckerberg, the boss of facebook, this is all about. would you explain

what is being proposed. we are seeing horrible things on facebook. you can put up videos of suicides, murders, and the feeling is that complaints are made constantly to facebook and they are not responding. facebook says they get 1 million such things and they cannot cope with it. they are hiring 3000 more individuals basically as a rapid response team to be able to look at what is being posted. they've already got a500 already. adding another 3000 is quite extraordinary. but it is what they need to do in order to make sure that paedophiles are taken off—line immediately, or terrorism, promoting terrorism. they have another issue where facebook is being used for piracy. what people do is they will ta ke piracy. what people do is they will take live sports programmes, or other ones, and immediately live strea m other ones, and immediately live

stream them and the content. that's also been mentioned. they have been pretty slow about this. it is a nightmare world we are looking at. appalling things you can see. they've been slow. they should have been able to predict this, certainly with the huge industry of pornography that is worldwide and known to be, and has been for decades, and they have been slow to set up these monitoring systems. thank goodness they are on the job now. when they took down images, the iconic one of the young vietnamese girl from the napalm attack running, that was taken down because it was a nude little girl and considered a concern. they were then criticised for that. it is difficult. always difficult. very briefly, a small story on the front of the ft. about the turner prize. they are doing something extraordinary.” the turner prize. they are doing something extraordinary. i am thrilled because it is, for the first time, they have short listed

and made it eligible for people over the age of 50. several of them are over 50. the work is very exhilarating and tremendous. my complaint is they cap it at 62. that is ageism. why have they done that? somebody at the age of 63 is capable of art? and they are turning away from the unmade bed, the cow hopefully something better is coming. but it all looksjolly good. people between 50 and 62 are young, aren't they? children. you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc website. it is there seven on the bbc website. it is there seven days a week. if you miss the programme you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer. thank you both. it has been delightful, as usual. goodbye. this weather pattern keeping eastern

the headlines at 11pm: an unparalleled attack by the prime minister on eu officials and politicians, accusing them of making threats to try to influence the outcome of the general election. threats against britain have been issued by european politicians and officials. all of these acts have been deliberately timed to affect the result of the general election on the eighth ofjune. the prime minister had visited the queen at buckingham palace as political opponents accused mrs may of poisoning the political atmosphere for partisan reasons. let's calm down, be serious, be sensible and approach these very very important negotiations with the seriousness they demand and deserve. it is a cold and calculated choice by theresa may to try and make neighbours in europe
