to knows while. high—pressure tries to knows its way in. july to the north and south of the british isles. wednesday, a mixture. also wanted to showers. i will see when half an hour. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines: the government says it will keep a close eye on the situation at kensington and chelsea council as it prepares to elect a new leader. london mayor sadiq khan has called for commissioners to take over the running of the council. after days of intense fighting, iraqi forces have taken control of the main base of the so—called islamic state, in the city of mosul. thousands of people take to the streets in central london to march against austerity. the veteran film critic and former
11:31 pm
bbc presenter barry norman has died at the age of 83. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are kevin schofield of politics home and benedicte paviot of france 24. tomorrow's front pages. we start with the mail on sunday, which claims that the prime minister theresa may is considering a dramatic u—turn on university tuition fees, to attract younger voters to the tory party. the observer reports a tory revolt against public sector cuts, suggesting theresa may is facing
11:32 pm
pressure from within her cabinet, who are demanding a radical overhaul of state funding for public services. the sunday telegraph reports claims that number 10 has told business leaders that theresa may could walk out of brexit talks over the so—called "divorce bill". the express reports that british fishermen will be given exclusive rights to a12—mile zone around the coastline under post—brexit plans. and ‘rogue sas unit accused of executing civilians‘, is the headline on the cover of the sunday times. let's get on with the review. starting with the telegraph and this rex app walk out. —— brexit walk out. this is a warning that theresa may would walk out or we'll walk out of the brexit discussions. i don't
11:33 pm
know if we heard this from marine person or david davis. anyway, whoever is representing britain at this time we'll walk out if we are told that they will ask for a multi—million pound bill. this has been briefed to business leaders by a member of the number 10 staff after the election. we don't know who that person is, but there could bea who that person is, but there could be a mass exodus from downing street. a lot of people are saying they are fed up. so a private briefing was given to business leaders, saying this is what theresa may will do. the flaw in this argument is if you want to walk out and makea argument is if you want to walk out and make a stand, it's best not to let people know three months in advance. the surprise is kind of lost. absolutely. people will say,
11:34 pm
we knew you were going to do that! also, i wonder how much of an impact this will have, given the result of the general election, which the prime minister calls to increase the mandate. clearly that's all gone up in smithereens. my reading this, i have to read it twice because by the timei have to read it twice because by the time i got through it for the second time i got through it for the second timei time i got through it for the second time i thought, well, it's a bit of an insult to british intelligence to think they are going to put on this show, because they are saying it's for domestic consumption. we don't need to see that, do we? maybe it's a way of galvanising the troops before the conservative party conference, before the autumn kicks off and we will see later in the review that there are many twitching ministers asking for the pursestrings to be loosened. here it would seem the pursestrings will not
11:35 pm
be loosened and certainly not to the extent that the divorce bill that the eu leaders seem to be asking for. that bill ranges from about 100 billion euros to 50 billion euros, 01’ even billion euros to 50 billion euros, or even down to about a0. what is interesting, or the sunday telegraph article also says, if some pools have suggested that the voter —— voters are against paying large sums to brussels. not surprising because we didn't hear about it in the so—called campaign, which lacked a lot of information. it is interesting. it says, yet, uk officials are increasingly resigned to the fact that they will have to pay when they leave and of course in any divorce you do need to pay. this will be money that you've already committed to. precisely. you can't walk away from your commitments.
11:36 pm
it fell through commitment to previously made. it does make you wonder why this was revealed as to what an. as i say, i think it can be counter—productive what an. as i say, i think it can be counter— productive because what an. as i say, i think it can be counter—productive because you are basically showing your hand. again, it is foolish to think that eu leaders and their advisers are reading this. this will not make for cordial relations. do you think other eu leaders might have envisaged this as a scenario?” wonder! the sunday express. still on brexit, at this time we are literally fishing. in the same way that dominated the queen's speech, it will dominate parliamentary life and therefore all about jobs it will dominate parliamentary life and therefore all aboutjobs and economic life of this country for yea rs economic life of this country for years to come and actually probably
11:37 pm
wipe a lot of our smiles of our faces because there will be all kind of different foreseen and unforeseen consequences. anyway, the sunday express is looking at the fishing rights in our waters. a possessive adjective. britain is going to take back control of its coasts in accordance with the big take back control. so british fishermen we are told will have the right to a 12 mile zone around the coastline under the post— brexit plans to take back control of our fishing policy. interesting as the government, according to the sunday express, will announce on monday that it is withdrawing from the london fisheries convention. personally i have to admit to have not read that bit, london. soon the london fisheries convention, meaning the countries that could, amongst them, that could fish within six miles of
11:38 pm
british shores will be banned from fishing within 12 miles off the coast. intriguingly on this front page it says michael gove, whose father's aberdeen fishing business closedown because of brussels bureaucracy, said" leaving the london". presumably fishing convention are the next two words! perhaps michael gove could tell us. obviously fish can't tell, so then they will be gone, presumably. pollution doesn't respect waters. very true. michael gove has always given as the reason as why he backed
11:39 pm
rex it, because of the common fisheries policy. —— brexit. now fate have conspired that he is in a position to take back control. to help take back control. it will be interesting to see how much fish we collect from other eu shores. it adds up to millions of pounds, is that right? it will be interesting to see if the consumption of fish goes up in britain. are these fish we are going to export? the observer. top tories in revolt against theresa may over public spending, is one of the stories. in revolt over public sector cash. she has got her plate rather full! yes and we mentioned before that there
11:40 pm
was a witness in the position and 110w was a witness in the position and now she has demonstrated that her owfi now she has demonstrated that her own cabinet realised that she has been pushing her around. own cabinet realised that she has been pushing heraround. an increasing number of cabinet ministers are talking about the public sector pay cut. there was a lot of confusion about whether or not downing street would want to see the pay cap moved. at the moment since 2010 it has been off—limits for all public sector workers. the feeling now on the back of the election result is clearly that there is a mood in the public that austerity has gone on for too long and particular public sector workers, firefighters, police, people who have really... they deserve a pay rise. so the prime minister, colleagues and cabinet, feel emboldened to go public and try
11:41 pm
to put as much pressure on it as they can. also justine to put as much pressure on it as they can. alsojustine greening wants more money for schools and damian green, who is the closest to the prime minister in the cabinet, effectively her deputy hinted that potentially the tuition fees policy could also be overturned. so there is definitely a move abroad and jockeying for position within cabinet. that's how the mail on sunday leads their front page. this is on theirfront sunday leads their front page. this is on their front page as well. that's right. it seems there is real pressure on the prime minister actually to make an announcement before the 20th ofjuly, so that it is sense, although mps won't be in
11:42 pm
westminster and talking to each other, which i gather is when a lot of the plotting goes on, but it would seem they want... there may be some announcement a foot. and of course this is on the back of weeks ina course this is on the back of weeks in a demonstration in london and other parts of the uk about stopping austerity, basically. it is interesting that the polls are very bad now. they've been spooked by the election result. the observer was just showing that now according to the latest poll in the observer by opinion it shows theresa may is a -20% opinion it shows theresa may is a —20% and jeremy corbyn on a%. so the election is having it would seem applications as we saw, with the tabled amendments, whether it was on abortion, etc, and very these protests. living the sunday times. this is a story that hasn't been
11:43 pm
verified by the bbc. we don't exactly know who is involved, but if you could just quickly summarise that for us and i will let you know how the mod has come back. essentially these are allegations against so—called row sas units, who have been accused of executing civilians in afghanistan and are trying to dress it up as if they have been taliban insurgents. so essentially they have been accused of working. there is an ongoing operation into allegations against british soldiers in afghanistan and this is one of the allegations. these are credible claims. the mod response to this, we've had a spokesperson saying the royal
11:44 pm
military police has found no evidence of criminal behaviour by the armed forces in afghanistan. they discount over 90% of the 600 of the allegations made and 10% of the allegations remain. that is a summary of the response from the mod. very quickly, i would like to move on to... at the back to the sunday express, this is going to get people talking. it is hard enough to get him to see the gp, but things possibly getting more tough. apparently family doctors will be able to turn away all but life or death patients under a new court. the
