hello, this is bbc news with kasia madera. we will be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first the headlines at 11:30pm: tony blair says some european leaders have told him they are ready to compromise on immigration to keep britain in the eu. a 16—year—old boy has been charged with grievous bodily harm after five people were attacked with acid in london on thursday night. a 15—year—old girl has died in devon after taking a drug formerly known as a legal high. the teenager was found unconscious in a park in newton abbot in the early hours of this morning. turkey's president erdogan has rallied hundreds of thousands of supporters in istanbul to celebrate one year since a coup against him failed. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with me arejohn rentoul, political columnist for the independent, and anne ashworth, associate editor of the times. tomorrow's front pages: the independent reports a poll that suggests that a majority of voters would be happy with a tax rise to see the salaries of emergency services staff go up. brexit takes the front page of the observer, with a warning from civil servants of the challenges that lie ahead for the prime minister. the sunday telegraph leads with the soon—to—be published salaries of the bbc‘s highest earners, suggesting there are discrepancies in pay between genders, and there is also a great image of garbine muguruza's wimbledon victory. the mail on sunday says the french government and banking chiefs are engaged in a plot against the british banking sector. and the times reports on the row following a cabinet meeting in which the chancellor philip hammond referred to public sector workers as overpaid. and i think we are going to have to

start with that, because that is going to really annoy so many people. well, hammond is on the marr programme tomorrow. how will he talked his way out of this one? and also, mustn't hammond really be concerned about how disloyal his collea g u es concerned about how disloyal his colleagues have been to him, because people are coming out of cabinet and just freely sharing what has been said. it seems as though the chancellor thinks that public sector workers are chancellor thinks that public sector workers a re really chancellor thinks that public sector workers are really overpaid, ludicrously overpaid is how he describes train drivers. but this seems to be on the basis of pensions. now, we know that public sector pensions are more generous, but sector pensions are more generous, but he may be referring to some quite controversial figures showing

that the amount going each year into the typical public sector pension is almost twice that of a private sector worker. so almost twice that of a private sector worker. so one almost twice that of a private sector worker. so one doesn't know whether the comparison was bad. but thatis whether the comparison was bad. but that is what he bases his argument on. that is certainly the treasury view, that public sector workers do have that benefit that most private sector people do not. but it is not how public sector workers feel, because they have felt that he really squeezed for the past seven years, and this is not going to go down very well. it is not at all, and just to get the background on this, this took place, he said this during a cabinet meeting on tuesday and this is coming out now. it is the same one that he was reputed to have said that driving trains is so easy that even women can do it. as i say, they may as well hold cabinet meetings in public. why don't they all send us an e—mail, tweet it out

maybe? the donald trump way. and the sunday times, you are also going to have an interview with the police federation chairman, and he will be warning that actually if police do not get a proper pay rise, security, national security, could be at risk. and yet you have got philip hammond saying this. there is huge amounts of restive spirit of a public sector pgy- of restive spirit of a public sector pay. wages have been frozen in lots ofjobs, including the public sector, it is very live and it is a very saw issue with a lot of people. he seems insensitive, just at the time when you would think mr hammond would be positioning himself to be the hail fellow well met person who could be the next leader —— sore issue. there are people briefing that philip hammond —— philip may would like his wife, theresa may, to

stand down. it is pretty undignified. it is, but as you say, we have this poll in the independent tomorrow which shows that the public mood has changed on public sector p5y~ mood has changed on public sector pay. people do not agree with philip hammond about this, and so this is going to be very damaging for him. and it does raise the question as to who is telling the papers this kind of thing. because it is obviously people who want to stop philip hammond becoming the sort of safe pairof hands hammond becoming the sort of safe pair of hands option to succeed theresa may. interestingly, in that meeting, apparently boris johnson and theresa may said that public sector workers... you should not say that they are overpaid, so we are getting a lot of details. your poll, 1500 people were polled and they believe that public sector workers should get a pay rise. not only that

but 60% of them are prepared to pay higher taxes themselves to fund it. they realise there is no free money, and that does mark quite a big shift since the... we have been, when it comes to polls, how was this poll fray as the? you have to be a bit sceptical, but it is worth asking that question, and certainly if you put... it was a question about emergency services, would you be prepared to pay higher taxes to give them a pay rise? and that is an emotive subject, what with grenfell tower, and so on. if you brought in about the public sector workers generally, people are less willing to pay more in taxes. the mood is shifting against the government on this. and this is going to be philip hammond's problem come the budget in the autumn. he needs to say something on public sector pay. he knows he will be the leader —— who knows he will be the leader —— who knows who will be the leader of the party at that time? but people will

be looking for him to make some concessions, but also, what does it mean for the tax bill for everybody? and also, if public sector pay workers on average earnings are more heavily taxed, what is the point of paying them more? he will not say a tax increase, is he? that is against tory policy. it might be that there is some stealth taxes. he is not a chancellor worth his name unless he knows how to introduce some stealth taxes. we touched upon the leadership. we have the sunday telegraph talking about david davis. a p pa re ntly telegraph talking about david davis. apparently he has the backing of 30 mps who are backing him as leader. in the same article we are told that he didn't want to be leader. he was not seeking the leadership. what is going on here? well, they would all like all their colleagues to say you are the person who will rescue us on the mess we are in. seems as if

there is disarray, just at a time when we need politicians to be operating at the height of their skills and to be thinking about brexit and the brexit negotiations. it seems that the tories are in paralysis, wondering who they should knife on the back and who they should support. who is going to be their leader? it is unedifying, it really is. no wonder we don't respect politicians. on the question is whether it is sustainable, as well. immediately after the election i thought that is theresa may finished, she will have to go. but then the conservatives could not agree on anyone to replace her, so i thought well, actually, she will survive until brexit. but with this kind of story in the papers every day, it is beginning to feel as if, you know, theresa may won't be able to carry on for much longer, because she can't get anything done. but is david davis the man who could go up against corbyn? does he appealed

because he is a single parent family, grew up in... that is what his supporters are telling the telegraph. because he is perceived asa telegraph. because he is perceived as a man of the people. and in brussels he has to reputation there, a good relationship with the leaders. he is the only one of the brexiteers who has improved his reputation since the referendum. borisjohnson seems to be sinking like a stone and there is an interesting poll which finds that borisjohnson is the most favoured to succeed theresa may, but they also ask, if people had to choose between boris johnson also ask, if people had to choose between borisjohnson and david davis, then david davis wins, which i thought was very interesting. i think that is because conservative supporters would prefer david davis, as they think boris has been undermining the party somewhat. this kind of speculation cannot go on... well, it can go on for a very long

time, but it is not very good for the government, and it is difficult to know how they can pay attention to know how they can pay attention to negotiating brexit when they are busy briefing papers on how dreadful their cabinet colleagues are. and while we watch that, we are taking our eye off the french, who are taking their bankers out of britain. a p pa re ntly taking their bankers out of britain. apparently mr macron has spent the week being very nice to the trumps, and he wants a really hard brexit, to disrupt the city of london, a crucial source of income tax revenue for the nation —— trumps. and he wa nts all for the nation —— trumps. and he wants all his business transferred to paris, and he is already softening his stance on taxation. there will be further concessions. there will be further concessions. there are a huge number of very powerful french bankers here who he would like to have go home, and he would like to have go home, and he would also like loads of fund managers who want to operate throughout europe to relocate the whole of their businesses to paris. but we always hear that they are going to leave, they are going to

leave. they don't leave, though. their kids are at school, they enjoy the life, they pay lower taxes here... this is one of the big arguments about brexit, is whether the city of london can continue to operate at the level it has done. and i think it will be quite difficult to undermine it. i think it will take more than just a bit of disruption and a bit of tax cutting and warm words from mr macron. what he may get, though, is more people opening offices that, which they would be able to relocate the whole of business to. so in a way he will be able to subtly undermined the whole of the structure of the city of london, which is crucial to our economy. it is a very important source economy. it is a very important source of economy. it is a very important source of revenue. love economy. it is a very important source of revenue. love bankers or loathe them. we won't answer that. the sunday times, schools... the more difficult gcses that schools

will be taking part in, and they are wreaking havoc with the school system, according to the schools chief, who said the real substance of education is getting lost in our schools. it is a bit of a worrying thing. if that is actually true, that we are losing sight of the real purpose of education, what is going on here? are we focusing on exams? it is an exam driven curriculum, that people are being taught to the exam, as they say in the trade, and they are not receiving a broader education. i mean, this is the head of ofsted, and she saw some classes where pupils were being taught the marking system for the gcses rather than the actual subject they were supposed to be being taught. and people are being encouraged to drop subjects at the age of 13 because they feel they would not excel in

them in the gcses and get a start grade. even when we were in school, i lost geography very early on, it was too long ago. contrast that to the french, who tend to be educating with a broader curriculum for longer, and thus are very well qualified for the workplace. let's look to the future. the daily mail has a lovely story. they have a tip, the first female doctor who, a gorgeous picture ofjodie whitaker, the star of broad church, st trinians. i am a huge fan of doctor who, but i don't know whojodie whitaker is, i am afraid. is she quirky? that seems to me the key ingredient for a convincing doctor. she is female, which is wonderful,

but why are we making a big thing about whether the next one is female oran about whether the next one is female or an ethnic minority? we were just talking about this story out there, eve ryo ne talking about this story out there, everyone seemed talking about this story out there, everyone seemed to know about doctor who, and who they liked best. it is kind of like bond. the conversation about... ok, i knew this was going to happen. we are going to run out of time, and we have left the best story until last. thank you for joining us on the papers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. coming up next, it is meet the author. but that's all from me, anne and john for this evening. good night. there isn't a single full

stop in mike mccormack‘s novel, solar bones. the story is a monologue that reads like a string of thoughts — sometimes poetic, sometimes rough, often disturbing.
