10:45 pm
i picked on that reveal the sources. i picked on that line at as well because just before it says that philip hammond has won the backing of brexit years including michael gove and liam fox, two heavyweight brexit campaigners. it is very much suggesting some of the opposition is coming from the foreign office. it doesn't go so far as to say that. i love the headline, election will be the second paul on the eu. i got such a sense of deja vu the eu. i got such a sense of deja vu because i feel like i read that before the election we just hit. what we learn from that election is that every side, whether it is the conservatives of or labour, remain oi’ conservatives of or labour, remain or leave, are taking the sign that they are connected whatever it was they are connected whatever it was they wanted. it will continue on being so. the maltese prime minister is saying that from the first time he thinks brexit won't happen. all
10:46 pm
options are up for grabs. there is a sense of chaos continuing. talking about the summer holidays and going away for a little while, but of course it isn't, and briefing is continuing. i will be cynical and suggest he may have made a comment like that because now we all know his name and we know he is the prime minister of multi which we may not have known before now. let's look at the financial times, what is going on in the white house. donald trump lashes out. the attempt to try to repeal obamacare. the lashes out. the attempt to try to repeal obamaca re. the republicans have been trying for seven years and have been trying for seven years and have failed again. they have got other things to be getting on with. this has been a week of chaos in the white house and that is saying something but we have had multiple votes on the health care bill and on tuesdayit votes on the health care bill and on tuesday it looked like it was going for rod in the early hours of this morning, john mccain and two other republicans voted against, but we
10:47 pm
have also had bigger news this evening just breaking, that donald trump has fired his chief of staff, reince piebus —— reince priebus. that has come just a week after he fired his press secretary, sean spicer. we know how voluntary that was! soap all change at the white house. and also scaramucci chose some choice language that can't be repeated even after the watershed but basically called out reince priebus as a leak and reince priebus was the link as well with the senate, with washington, so that was lost on obamacare. perhaps he has taken the hit for that as well. but again we talk about chaos over here
10:48 pm
in the summer holidays but it is nothing compared to the united states. if you are a journalist with a wonderful time to be alive. what exciting times! all you need to know about scaramucci is that he had this week a very long phone conversation with a journalist in which he said all kinds of things on the record about the various colleagues, one of whom has now been fired, and then win the journalists printed the article he then lashed out at the fa ct article he then lashed out at the fact that it was printed. you think if you are communications director you would know not to say those kinds of things on the record to a journalist. one of your correspondence was saying i am never going to talk to journalists again. it is yourjob. he is like this cartoon character, an italian—american with aviator glasses, looking like somebody straight out of the sopranos and he is quite macho and all these guys are quite macho as well and you just wonder whether donald trump is planning to let them fight it out
10:49 pm
amongst themselves. we wonder what will happen to steve brine and then because he had again some choice words to say about him. he will be looking over his shoulder and scaramucci in his interview with emily maitlis said i don't backstab, i front stab. what did you make of that and how he treated emily?m terms of her personal space he got up terms of her personal space he got up close and personal, what did you think? i thought she was very patient. handled it very well. as she always does. the times, gang to speak teenagers to launder crime cash. how are they recruiting young people? outside the school gates and in social media. i got this image, you know how they always warned you after school not to talk to people offering drugs and sweets, now they are offering as little as £50 to tra nsfer are offering as little as £50 to transfer a much larger sums of dirty
10:50 pm
money. when i was a teenager £50 was a lot of money. they are seducing teenagers with this easy money and then laundering it through their bank accounts, and then potentially threatening violence if they try to stop. there is a plea for parents to monitor their children's bank accounts. we were having a conversation trying to remember at what age you could get a bank account. is it 16 you can get a debit card? as a mother of teenagers. my children have to use cash. it hurts more to part with it. is it 13-17? i certainly know 13—year—olds with parents permission can have some form of credit card. not credit, debit card. 50 quid, and the crime editor is saying this is an interesting story because they are trying one step ahead. laundering money the police is on
10:51 pm
them and this is another new avenue. her parents, something else for them to have to keep an eye on. yours are too young to worry about. operation fault him it is called. the fraud unit has issued warnings to schools but kids don't like being dictated to, they like a bit. page two, nearly 2000 children referred for help with gender identity. john, this is a massive increase in the number of children who are being referred either by their parents are because of how they are feeling about their own bodies. the percentage increase since shocking but when you look at the numbers, this comes from the gender identity development service, commissioned by nhs england, 1986 people under 18 referred. let's put
10:52 pm
this into perspective. the line that jumped out at us was some as young as three are being referred. three—year—olds seeing any to speak about this but it is parents as well. parents must recognise something in their children that makes them think they need help but the suggestion in this article is that there is a societal change? it is an incredibly complicated issue and all the people involved are individuals and will have their own individuals and will have their own individual issues that they are working through but right at the end, one of the doctors says, some people feel uncomfortable with the gender they were assigned at birth, so gender they were assigned at birth, so that is potentially transitioning, but others are unhappy with the gender role that society requires. i think that applies to pretty much everyone. there is a wider question of how we treat gender and society. why we
10:53 pm
force children to gender roles at a young age. girls wear pink and play with dolls, boys wear blue and play with dolls, boys wear blue and play with friends, or whatever it is. it is completely arbitrary societal restraints that he put on them. and they last forever. the constraints put on adult men and can make people... and i don't think it is particularly controversial to say that those expectations can be damaging. in terms of the entries, i don't think anyone is arguing that there has been an increase necessarily. it is that people are talking about it more, parents and children now that this is an issue they can get help on if they need to and it comes in the same week as earlier story about borrowing —— barring transgender individuals from the us military and what was reassuring is that various other national militaries including ours
10:54 pm
came forward and said that we support these individuals and anyone who wants to serve their country, so it definitely has become more mainstream, something that we are prepared to talk about a lot more. once again, donald trump tweeting and taking the pentagon by surprise and taking the pentagon by surprise and they are not quite knowing how to respond. going back to the previous story about reince priebus it seems that that was done that way as well. as somebody in south korea whose job is to monitor donald trump's twitter, clearly they need to do this. just finally in this particular story, the suggestion is that because we are becoming more tolera nt of that because we are becoming more tolerant of different types of sexuality and gender identity, maybe these children will get the help and feel there is nothing wrong with them if they don't feel how society tells them. in other newspapers
10:55 pm
hands this could be, shall we say, presented in a different way and the controversy is, by talking about this are you putting the start into people's heads. are you encouraging it by talking about it? we were seeing just on camera we have had these debates about homosexuality decades ago and we have gone past that. and we have got away from the argument and talking about it and accepting it doesn't in any way promoting it and what you end up with if you accept people is happier and better adjusted individuals and ideally better society. that is my view. let's end with somebody, ph.d., daily express. ferrari supercar wrecked in 60 minutes. when this accident happened, police had to ask the owner what the car had been. and it was a ferrari, don't
10:56 pm
even know how to pronounce that... what happened ? even know how to pronounce that... what happened? he flipped it over. in the wet. there is schadenfreude in this, bring a tear to a glass eye, poor old guy. it looks like he was lucky to escape. he escaped with bruises, they said, after the car com pletely bruises, they said, after the car completely caught fire. look at it!. that is not coming back. that is gone. ferrari says we offer and encourage motorists to have bought a ferrari to undergo a driving course. we will remember that for when we buy our first supercar. that's it for the papers tonight and don't forget you can see everything online. if you missed the programme, you can watch it later on bbc i
