she's «395,35, : ., .. she's going to brexit talks. she's going to challenge the rest of the eu to display the creativity to build a good brexit. this is going to lead toa good brexit. this is going to lead to a two—year transitional period. this could have been bitten by a press officer in the conservative party, it doesn't even pretend to be straight news —— could have been written. this photograph, all smiles at last, it feels so singing the hymn sheet of the government, it doesn't feel like journalism. hymn sheet of the government, it doesn't feel like journalismm hymn sheet of the government, it doesn't feel like journalism. it was quite choreographed, their exit. there is no cynicism, so on a major speech in which she takes on the doom mongers, it doesn't seem like there's any kind of distance which is what the readers of the daily express want, but it makes me think about how polarised the debate is,
10:46 pm
you pick your paper and you get your version of the story that you want. you can be our sceptic. i'm sceptical as to whether this is spin rather than the truth. this is as much about uniting the cabinet as trying to put together a united thing for the eu. theresa may offers 20 billion euros brexit divorce deal to europe, not so long ago boris johnson said they can whistle for it, we are not paying anything. this has been a major sticking point, the amount we are willing to pay in the divorce bill. the uk needs to settle its accounts, michel barnier says. we are hearing it will be 20 billion euros that will be offered to the eu. it is also to do with eu residence in britain and their status. that is also one of the sticking points. the idea of whether
10:47 pm
it will go through the central court of europeanjustice it will go through the central court of european justice in it will go through the central court of europeanjustice in europe or come to britain, that is also part of the package she will be offering. this is a straight treatment, but it points, andi this is a straight treatment, but it points, and i think, going to the daily telegraph, also moving on, doing the same story, i was struck by the language. the tone is so positive, and i was struck by this idea that she is talking about a profound sense of responsibility and the eyes of the world are upon us, this is much more optimistic. this is what we need. we have had doom mongering statements over the summer. mongering statements over the summer. boris johnson's speech, 12,000 word essay which was more uplifting. do you think that is a response to boris's optimistic tone? realistically she was probably going
10:48 pm
to say this anyway. the interesting paragraph, the speech will contain i'io paragraph, the speech will contain no concrete off on the brexit bill, only the initial promise that britain will continue to pay. it was as much about tone as it is actually giving any hard numbers. that headline, it is the duty of the eu to agree a brexit deal, why is it their duty? britain decided to leave. she is making the point that is in the interests of the eu to make sure there is a good enough about sites. the idea they would punish britain for leaving is a stupid move because eu citizens want to know they are going to have a positive future when the uk leaves the eu. we can leave the last gonna. usually a good idea —— leave the last word to match. we can move away from brexit. he
10:49 pm
seems to deviate from the daily telegraph line, he has free rein. yes, he does. and now the times, windfall for philip hammond. how come? this is the first line of the peace, faster than expected fall in government borrowing has handed the government borrowing has handed the government windfall of about £10 billion to possibly used to support public services and infrastructure and help students and young home—buyers and help students and young home— buyers but that and help students and young home—buyers but that sounds a bit tenuous. it says there is this official figure but then it says the treasury is determined to keep a grip on these public finances, so it is almost like, there might be this extra money as a result of government borrowing falling but that doesn't necessarily mean there will be a windfall of money for
10:50 pm
public service is like the first paragraph suggested. on the face of it this is welcome news to many people, who feel more money needs to go to helping young buyers of homes and students and the nhs, this money could be diverted into the nhs and social care and that is a big problem in the uk at the moment. also the issue of public sector pay. that has got to be funded somehow. my worry, in a sense, this builds up expectations ahead of the budget on the 22nd of november. if you think there might be money coming, expectation management might have to come along to say, don't necessarily bank on it, they might say the national debt is still too high, so i guess this is setting up of which they don't necessarily want to start building up. a couple of stories on the financial times, donald trump
10:51 pm
orders new sanctions on xiang —— pyonyang. -- pyonyang. early in the wiki threatened to destroy north korea, talking to the united nations —— earlier in the week he threatened. and now he's talking about more sanctions, but that doesn't seem to be working because we have had a lot of sanctions imposed on north korea and they are still testing nuclear missiles. donald trump is fascinating, this photograph is hilarious, he looks like a zombie, here. he is concentrating. what i find interesting, there is the trump which is unleashed when he says destroy north korea at the united
10:52 pm
nations, and then there is the trump who is struggling to be presidential. this looks like he is playing as president, which basically means with the sanctions they will tighten up on anyone who would like to do business with north korea, like the chinese banks. it could almost be two people, the insane lunatic speaking completely ridiculous things to the united nations and then fairly conventional idea of... if you try to work out how you respond to someone who has both those sides, it must be difficult for them he keeps people guessing. this idea seems symbolic, the idea of showing they will be ratcheting that up. it has been successful in the past with action like this. part of this is about china doing business as well, because the chinese central bank was encouraging other banks to cut down oi'i encouraging other banks to cut down on that. it is interesting. tough
10:53 pm
talk from earlier on, and now action, as well. and now ryanair. pilots holidays put in holding pattern. after cancelled flights boo—boo. i love the fact that is on the front of the financial times for top the sub editor is working hard at the financial times. too top the sub editor is working hard at the financialtimes. too much holiday was owed to pilots and i can't get the planes off the ground, so can't get the planes off the ground, so they have offered them £12,000 to give upa so they have offered them £12,000 to give up a weeks holiday and they have said no. you couldn't really make this story up, he had a meeting with shareholders. this is michael o'leary for top yes, the billionaire tycoon, he has accused his pilots of being lazy and he can't understand why they would complain at all. his quotes are hilarious. he basically
10:54 pm
says he would challenge any pilot to explain how it is a difficultjob. 0r explain how it is a difficultjob. or how they are overworked. he accused some pilots of being precious about themselves and full of importance, which as a negotiating tactic is quite novel. something else which could have come out of a satirical magazine, he says he doesn't know how there could be any industrial action ryanair because they don't have any unions. the old school approach in terms of how business and bosses would have approached things in the past for top he relishes that kind of reputation. they have lost £22 million already, thousands of passengers that down for as well. they have had a change in their reputation, they became a bit evil, but then they had a bit of an upturn
10:55 pm
because they became friendly but this has been a kick in their teeth. people keep buying tickets they are inexpensive. we will finish with the guardian. immigration checks on 70 million bank accounts, why is that? it is about creating a hostile environment for illegal immigrant is, so the idea is that from january, banks and building societies can do checks and the idea is to identify people who are overstaying visas or refused asylum seekers, they will face deportation. the interesting thing, it's a front—page story in the guardian and it is because of a reader contacting the paper regarding something that happened to their spouse, they were sent a letter that some must go to look at their bank account. as a
10:56 pm
result of a reader getting in touch they have this story. the other thing, the faith that you having technology and in the home office and their security and computers, i don't know if they deserve our confidence on that. the comment. it makes the point that people are worried that they could end up targeting the wrong people and getting confused on the databases so there are concerns there. assuming people even have bank accounts in the first place. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's 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. thank you to my guests. later on bbc iplayer. goodbye. later on bbc iplayer. coming up next, the weather forecast. it has been another day a
10:57 pm
fluctuating weather fortunes right across the british isles, the eastern side started off bright enough and then the cloud filled in all the while from the west. for some it was a good deal more cloudy than that, anywhere near the weather front and it was leaden skies and quite a bit of rain, and there you see the great striker cloud started the day on the western side of the british days —— great stripe of cloud. it was a glorious afternoon across scotland and northern ireland and western england and wales, but there is a price to be paid for clearing skies, as the weather front moves into the north sea, which will be quite widespread, helping to keep the temperature up here but under the temperature up here but under the clearing skies, even in the south, you are not immune to seeing 3-4 south, you are not immune to seeing 3—4 in the countryside. that means a glorious start to the day, apart
10:58 pm
from if you are near the weather fine, it will be miserable for northern ireland and central western scotla nd northern ireland and central western scotland and increasingly through the day it will push the weather front ever further towards the east. i suspect many parts of the southwest will stay dry may be a spot of rain, but you will lose the sunshine and also in the west midlands, wales, late in the afternoon, the threat of rain working its way in from the irish sea, and a much improved afternoon for northern ireland at least will stop the wind and rain really gathering across scotland and the north of england to finish off the afternoon. the weekend, not too bad, really. sunny spells, quite warm, but there will be a new weather frontfront, firstly on saturday, there is a legacy of cloud to produce some rain initially across wales and the midlands, drifting further north, allowing brighter
10:59 pm
skies. over my shoulder, the first signs of what we will call sunday's rain because it becomes more widespread on sunday, especially across the northern and western parts of the british isles. the rain could become quite heavy late in the day, across the far south—west, the best of the conditions at least. —— out east. this is bbc news. the headlines: in a major speech tomorrow, it is thought theresa may will propose a transitional deal which could cost the uk £18 billion. 4080 transitional deal which could cost the uk £18 billion. a080 hours after the uk £18 billion. a080 hours after the earthquake, rescuers say none of the earthquake, rescuers say none of the children trapped in the school is alive. details of political adverts made for by russians during the presidential election last year. more detail about theresa may in
