hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. hurricane irma has battered cuba with heavy rain and winds of more than 150 miles per hour hitting the north of the country. a million people have been moved to safety, along with thousands of foreign tourists. meanwhile officials in southern florida have told 6.3 million people — a quarter of the state's population — to evacuate their homes before the storm arrives tomorrow. the united nations is warning of an unprecedented refugee crisis in myanmar. it says more than a quarter of a million rohingya muslims have crossed the border into bangladesh. a special concert has been held tonight at the manchester arena, which has re—opened amid heavy security after the suicide bomb attack which killed 22 people in may. hello and welcome to our look ahead
11:31 pm
to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are ruth lea, economic advisor at arbuthnot banking group and the author and journalist yasmin alibhai brown. tomorrow's front pages starting with the devastation wrought on cuba by hurricane irma is marked by the photograph on the observer's front page — it says caribbean residents are begging for help. the paper also headlines research from the local government association which claims some of the poorest families will be 50 pounds a week worse off by the end of the decade. according to the sunday times, former prime minister tony blair claims that if the government brought in proper immigration
11:32 pm
controls it would be possible to take back control of the uk's borders without leaving the eu. the mail on sunday headlines news that the independent inquiry into child sex abuse is being widened to examine a separate police inquiry which investigated allegations against former prime minister sir edward heath. the sunday telegraph reports that theresa may is considering reducing the interest paid on student loans and ‘strong—arming' universities into lowering tuition fees in an attempt to win back younger voters. and let's find out what our guests think of some of these front pages. good evening to both of you. let's start with the big story about hurricane irma. the observer has the story, obviously the aftermath,
11:33 pm
about people begging for aid. one has every sympathy with these people. i cannot think of a better candidate for our aid budget. some of the very badly hit islands are british overseas territories so i presume we will go in there and try to sort them out. others are independent countries like huber, barbuda. again, iwould independent countries like huber, barbuda. again, i would like to see british authorities go and help these people. and then there is a very sad story about saint martin, pa rt very sad story about saint martin, part dutch and part french. again you would expect the french and dutch authorities to sort that out. but there is looting. so adding insult to injury, not only have you experienced the hurricane that you are being looted. is also quite important for, i think there is a danger, especially over the last few
11:34 pm
months, when there has been tragedy after tragedy, terrible event after terrible event, for a kind of fatigue to 13. we must not let that happen. we must fight it. even now i find myself saying oh, my god. how much can i do? and there and that many much can i do? and there and that r much can i do? and there and that many very rich people such as the richard branson who have homes in some of these places. they should spearhead initiatives. it's important to show that it is a truly globalised world and we care about each other. just very quickly, one of the things that i have come to realise, talking through some of the survivors of hurricane irma, is we really do not have the full picture yet. it is astounding when you hear just how many islands. the bvi, 60 of them, when we start to get the stories coming out you do wonder how
11:35 pm
and what they will need to get back on their feet. nothing. it is gone. everything is gone. barbuda has been evacuated. ok. of the express. let's turn to the eu. we have eu on the ropes. yasmin. do i have to talk about the sunday express? steel yourself. this is part of the problem. the language and the attitudes... i am a passionate remainer. but i must accept that we are going to leave. i do not want us to leave with the arrogance and the terrible... this schoolboy nonsense that we get. david davis calling one of the negotiators silly. they then come back and hit. i think we need
11:36 pm
to be grown up. the british were once upon a time frame is, after left the empire, they did it in a gentle manner. could we have some of that? but money is involved... a lot more was involved then. even now, when you return to india, that mountbatten was such a gentleman. terrible things were done by the british when they left but there was a way that they could communicate. what happened to that? i do not find these headlines useful to lama brexit. therefore we do not agree. i would like to see a decent set of negotiations with the european union, mutually beneficial and an inner spirit of cooperation. so to say this... who are these people? i
11:37 pm
think this is wild speculation. should we be given this running commentary about the negotiations? or should they be behind closed doors and will telling is only when there is something concrete. doors and will telling is only when there is something concretelj doors and will telling is only when there is something concrete. i don't think this is the way to do it. i really don't. i think we should appoint her as a special advisers to david davis. why aren't you in there? a reasonable woman? i am getting too old. i suspect that once the german elections are over, i suspect more will enter into the negotiations. there is a net deadline of the end of october. that is the european summit and i don't think that at that summit they will agree to go from phase 12 phase two. willjust not be as easy as they said it was. there is time. i am not pessimistic, but this is not helpful. and tony blair. what is he
11:38 pm
saying at the moment. i do not care. ido saying at the moment. i do not care. i do not care. i think something about the stable door and a horse that's gone. that something about controlling immigration and remaining in the eu, it is not an. and what is he suggesting? the way he wants to treat eu nationals... like just workers used to be treated in germany. we have british people living across europe. here's a fantasist. if you stay in the eu, labour is one of the four freedoms andl labour is one of the four freedoms and i cannot see anyone in the eu allowing that to happen. that is what david cameron found in negotiations with merkel at the beginning of 2016. it is a nonstarter. first off, he says registering when they arrived. germany used to do that. you don't
11:39 pm
register as a outsider. you get your national insurance number and you do what everyone else does. look at this. and he wants discriminatory rules. it won't happen. it is against the eu. staying with the sunday times, there is a family here who are suing their child's school because they do not agree with the way the school is embracing transgender is, way the school is embracing tra nsgender is, basically. way the school is embracing transgender is, basicallylj way the school is embracing transgender is, basically. i have a little sympathy with those people. this is... this is a church of england school and some parents are saying look, we were not consulted about this boy wearing a stress. we think we should have been consulted
11:40 pm
because it is again against our biblical rentable... because it is again against our biblical rentable. .. principles?! all images ofjesus have him wearing a white gown. you wear trousers, why can't our boy where a skirt? it is not usual. this is what these poor people are talking about. you may not agree with that and arguably i did not agree. i can see why they are objecting because they feel they we re are objecting because they feel they were not consulted. i am very pleased the school has done this, actually. the church of england is getting trendier by the day. let's go to the telegraph. al first story here is a suppose that plot to get young voters onside by the tories.|j think plot is a little ambitious. let's be honest. we know they are
11:41 pm
trying to attract young voters and what they are saying here about cutting the interest rate on loans is persuading universities to cut tuition fees. i think it is perfectly sad. i do think universities should be far more honest when they charge so much for courses. it is a lot of money and they should be more honest about the potential economic gain from their degrees because sometimes i don't think they have any... from your experience, what is the most economical and viable course? economics... i walked into bad one. . . economics... i walked into bad one... no, not economics. rational thinking, philosophy. the arts. the way to think. but here, let's also remember that the bravest students have revolted against the coalition and the tories and they put up tuition fees. it is very convenient
11:42 pm
to say oh, let's be in the university and are costing they get these. it was implemented by the coalition. and the poorest families are the ones who suffered, as ever. well, there we go. let's stay with the telegraph. we are going to north korea and there is a fear that iran had a hand in its creation. i have seen many had a hand in its creation. i have seen many countries making that guest. china, india, pakistan is well. there is a lot that goes into making a nuclear bomb. it is not easing. it is interesting to know whether secrets were gotten from. are high and this is the fact the highly unpredictable mr kim looks like he may be getting a viable nuclear bomb. given the fact we have
11:43 pm
a narcissistic president of the united states, i think this a serious situation. i shudder because i think the world is as dangerous as it has been for many decades. you probably never went to grin, and did you? i did. probably never went to grin, and did you? ldid. l probably never went to grin, and did you? i did. ithink we probably never went to grin, and did you? i did. i think we should start talking about the whole world doing something about nuclear weapons. what should we do then about north korea? negotiations. play cool. china needs to be more involved. putin as well, if possible. and left donald trump. —— left donald trump. —— less. donald trump. —— left donald trump. -- less. this headline, a £50 cut in income, possibly more, to be honest. they are making a lot of this report
11:44 pm
that has been put together. they're making assumptions about tax changes, wages, inflation, all these sorts of things which may or may not happen. i suspect this may be economically flimsy. inevitably, you will be wrong. i could be right. there is a probability that i am right because i was a statistician as well. what will be interesting is all of the bribery beginning to happen. the caps on public service... do i need tojump in with an alleged that? —— there? service... do i need tojump in with an alleged that? -- there? they talk
