11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news with chris rogers. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. north korea's foreign minister has addressed the united nations, telling delegates president trump would pay dearly for his attack on the country. iran says it has successfully tested a new ballistic missile with a range of up to 1200 miles. three people have been taken to hospital after an attack using a noxious substance in east london. none are thought to have life—threatening injuries. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, is telling delegates gathering for the party's annual conference in brighton that they're in a moment of great change. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anne ashworth, associate editor of the times and benedicte paviot from france 24. welcome to london. the weather is better here as well.
11:31 pm
tomorrow's front pages, starting with the observer which looks ahead to the labour party conference where it says brexit will dominate. the paper says the party leadership faces calls to commit to full and permanent membership of the eu single market and customs union. it's all out war between borisjohnson and phillip hammond according to the mail on sunday. the paper claims there's a feud following theresa may's speech yesterday. the sunday times also leads with the story of a dispute amongst senior tory ministers. according to the paper philip hammond, david davis and amber rudd were all involved in a leadership plot following the general election. fractures at the top of the tory party also appear on the front of the sunday telegraph. it focuses on borisjohnson — who it says is against the uk adopting any new eu rules and regulations after the uk formally leaves in march 2019. brexit dominating the papers, which
11:32 pm
is understandable after the foreign speech. starting with the sunday times. this is a plot revealed by a number of tax after the general election? it seems as if, as the polls came in and it was clear that the tory majority was being lost, that all of the major cabinet members started to plot, they were taxed in, philip hammond was taxing borisjohnson. taxed in, philip hammond was taxing boris johnson. —— texting. taxed in, philip hammond was taxing borisjohnson. —— texting. they thought that david davis would be in charge of redford, philip hammond would get the economy and boris johnson would be minding the shop. we also saw in the sunday times, the
11:33 pm
editor ‘s new book, they speak of a separate plot focused on amber rudd as prime minister, which was backed by seniorfigures from as prime minister, which was backed by senior figures from the party. none of these papers will make easy reading for theresa may this morning. i think the worst thing in this story is that 50 mps apparently don't support her, which is... we've got to go back to the night of the general election. nobody expected that result. we are glued to the television screens. it is almost understandable but that kind of texting is going on. what is hard to get your head around is how she manages to keep going and keep it together. i thought she looked very under pressure in florence. she is usually less nervous, she came across as edgy. that was a room
11:34 pm
mostly full of british journalists. some of them had not even had accreditation and they were allowed in. i understand that number ten had asked various top eu leaders to attend but they had declined. i think the governor of the region in tuscany was insulted that this speech would be made there. having got that behind her and having the prospect of keeping that cabinet together, she has rebel leaders claiming that 50 conservative mps wa nt claiming that 50 conservative mps want theresa may to resign, more than the 48 who voted in her leadership. this is one week before the tory party conference. the general election and the aftermath, not having an absolute majority, the length of time it took to get the dup deal... these are daggers in the front, back, sideways. this book by
11:35 pm
tim shipman, a year of political mayhem from the editor of the sunday times, it makes very strong reading. i wonder what conclusions will be drawn. who can she trust? there are very few. this is at a time when the clock is ticking. eu negotiations resume on monday. whether it is emmanuel macron or the german foreign minister, they want more clarification. 0n foreign minister, they want more clarification. on monday, they will be expecting more detail to flesh out what we heard about the two—year transition period that theresa may talked about. and what is being done on terrorism. you wonder how they could be any headspace in this ministry to deal with the rest of this business of governing. the mail
11:36 pm
on sunday, the front page, has allegedly reported over whether theresa may should stay or go. we saw all that making nice at the foreign speech, that was just an illusion. philip hammond is a soft grexit man, boris johnson illusion. philip hammond is a soft grexit man, borisjohnson wants a ha rd grexit man, borisjohnson wants a hard brexit. they are at odds. —— brexit. the fight between chancellor hammond and boris johnson, brexit. the fight between chancellor hammond and borisjohnson, allegedly boris and his camp claimed that had he not exerted the kind of pressure that he did leading up to the friends speech, theresa may would have announced a five—year transition, which is what philip hammond wanted. —— france.
11:37 pm
transition, which is what philip hammond wanted. -- france. we knew the cabinet and the party were split over the referendum, the eu. we have no night for some time. are they unable to bury their differences and act like grown—ups? the average person reading these front pages would think, are a bunch of babies? it is infantile. the clock is ticking. the clock is very clearly ticking. the clock is very clearly ticking. that deal needs to really be struck by next autumn so that it can be approved with the various bodies. the uk will cease to be an eu memberon the bodies. the uk will cease to be an eu member on the 29th of march 2019. that is with or without a transition period. david davies, brexit negotiator for the uk, they period. david davies, brexit negotiatorfor the uk, they came
11:38 pm
period. david davies, brexit negotiator for the uk, they came out of the room, michelle barnier said there had been no progress —— barnier. they were arguing about the slow speed of brexit. the leader of the free world react to add impatiently. i can't imagine it is that the forethought of his mind, not when there are the things going on with north korea. but apparently he wants to be able to do a deal with britain by 2020, when he will be going for re—election. you would think, there is the guy that struck
11:39 pm
the trade deal with britain, that is who we want in the white house. i am not sure. that is slightly troubling. he is pro- brexit, maybe it is about that. i am just guessing. it is all conjecture, none of us can see any rationality in it. interestingly, us business is supposedly positive about us doing a deal. i like the line where it says, the us election in 2020 which mr trump has no guarantee of winning, page four of the sunday express. talking about the ban on uber? could
11:40 pm
it breached race equality laws? equality legislation over the decision not to renew uber's licence in london. apparently 90% of 40,000 drivers are from ethnic minority backgrounds. this move has destroyed a lifeline for them. if this company has been found wanting, they are being accused and if it is proven that there are convictions, in mid— allegations of sex crimes committed by theirdrivers, allegations of sex crimes committed by their drivers, particularly on women, passenger safety is actually going to be the thing that really needs to be sorted out. other aspects can be looked at. i don't think you work backwards from it by saying it is about breaching race equality laws. i think it's about
11:41 pm
theissues equality laws. i think it's about the issues that the tefl has very clearly underlined. these drivers have got thisjob clearly underlined. these drivers have got this job and otherjobs, these are things that tefl has been pointing out to uber —— tfl. the sunday times talks about the possibility of a deal, it appears there is some movement above and beyond the petition that has been signed by 500,000 people. clearly there is movement and concern that tfl doesn't want to user licence. talks are likely to include movement from tfl to try and uphold the road safety and women's safety, as well as passenger safety. an interesting move by tfl to try and bring more regulation. did they act soon
11:42 pm
enough? were they too lax? allowing this situation to develop, perhaps issuing warnings too late, that is what a lot of people think. the mini cab industry exploded. allegedly 3.5 million customers for uber, that is extraordinary. they will still be operating a year from now, that is what i think. they have lost their licence for the moment for not meeting the regulations, we will see. a lot of jobs at stake as well. the telegraph, buying uk property is about to get tougher for foreigners. possibly because a lot of new
11:43 pm
property is being snapped up by investors ? property is being snapped up by investors? apparently the tories didn't realise just how much unrest there is about housing and who is allowed to buy flats in london. the marketing of flats in london to the far east and elsewhere, u nfortu nately far east and elsewhere, unfortunately the financing depends on foreign investment, it means that they cannot necessarily get the finance from an upfront source. so that enables the development to take place. possibly it needs to calm with some commitment to more affordable first—time housing. they should not be allowed to evade their commitment to providing affordable housing. watch this space. everyone
11:44 pm
will be talking about it at the party conferences. some areas of london, new developments are empty. they are all sold, but nobody lives there. very frustrating for the people who would love to be able to get a chance to live there. we have only got a couple of minutes. the sunday times focusing on labour putting the spotlight on tuition fees. brexit will be the big thing for them this week. this is going for them this week. this is going for them this week. this is going for the young voter? it is all about the youth vote. they need to sort out the student loan system. the labour manifesto, there is some feeling that there could be cross— party feeling that there could be cross—party agreement on possibly raising the threshold at which loans become repayable. also the interest
11:45 pm
rate, 6.1%. this is compounded interest. interest starts to become charged on the loan right from the moment you start your studies. if you work with people who have got student debt, it troubles them. one of my young colleagues was unable to find out how much she owed. she was told she owed nothing, then that she owed 2000. then it was three
