11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment first the headlines: counting is under way in catalonia's controversial independence referendum. hundreds of people were injured as spanish police used force to try to block voting. earlier, the spanish prime minister mariano rajoy insisted the vote was illegal. translation: right now i can tell you all emphatically, what we found today and what we already know, is that there was no independence referendum in catalonia today. the islamic state group has claimed responsibility for a knife attack in which a 17—year—old girl and a 20—year—old woman died in the french city of marseille. the suspect was shot dead by soldiers. on the first day of the conservative party conference in manchester, the prime minister has insisted the cabinet is united on brexit. she also unveiled a series of policies aimed at younger voters, such as freezing university tuition fees in england. the holiday company, monarch, is waiting to see if its license to sell package holidays will be

renewed, amid uncertainty over its finances. an extension was granted last night which expires at midnight. the creation of winnie the pooh is the focus of a new british film. will get mark kermode‘s thoughts on goodbye christopher robin and the rest of the cinema releases in the film review. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are tom bergin, reuters business correspondent and rachel cunliffe from city am. tomorrow's front pages... you're scribbling away, aren't you crazy it's all about the hoff. the guardian shows a riot police officer brandishing a truncheon in barcelona as it reports on the hundreds injured while trying to vote in today's illegal independence poll. the telegraph has the same image,
11:32 pm
it reports that the violence shows the eu is in crisis amid a lack of condemnation from brussels. the same picture again in the times, which says that spain has been torn apart by the violence. the ft has the same lead story but goes for a different image, showing riot police brawling with a voter. but the is attention is on the conservative conference and backlash against boris is its headline. it reports the party has swung against the foreign secretary over his perceived disloyalty. what a time to be squabbling, exclaims the daily mail and it says the pm's attempts to reach out to younger voters have been overshadowed by infighting. the sun claims a public kiss between prince harry and meghan markle has sparked a frenzy of engagement speculation. and the mirror reports the captain of one of britain's nuclear—armed submarines has been suspended over claims of an inappropriate relationship between two officers. we'll begin with the times and the
11:33 pm
headline spain torn apart as 850 hurt in referendum riots. this picture of a very well protected policeman brought in by the central government to try to stop this vote taking place, rachel.” government to try to stop this vote taking place, rachel. ithink whatever you think about the referendum, whatever you think about independence for this region, the scenes of violence we've seen from the police are frankly horrifying. not only have you got that very vivid image but there's also a line here, it says one protester lost an eye to aruba bullet and elderly voters were seen with blood streaming from head wounds. the violence here really has overshadowed any kind of debate about whether the referendum should have gone ahead. juxtaposed to that has been the response of the spanish prime minister, who leads the minority government, and isn't very strong himself, and his response has been today democracy has prevailed and that i think is a very striking
11:34 pm
quote to have next to pictures of police officers beating up people trying to vote. saying this was an illegal vote. he even refused to acknowledge it. that it even happened, yeah. we'rejust acknowledge it. that it even happened, yeah. we're just hearing from reuters, good old reuters, the cata la n from reuters, good old reuters, the catalan authorities say 90% of cata la ns catalan authorities say 90% of catala ns voted yes to leave catalan authorities say 90% of catalans voted yes to leave spain in this referendum but the question is how many in fact turned out? many polling stations were closed. how many in fact turned out? many polling stations were closedm how many in fact turned out? many polling stations were closed. it was clear, it was expected beforehand that the people who would vote would be those that supported independence but those that didn't would not attend, that's what we expected before the vote. before the votes the polls showed 40% in favour of independence. it is hard to know how to treat these results but there will be questions about them. the leader has said he will start the
11:35 pm
motion towards independence, though. the daily telegraph is saying the eu is in crisis over this poll, the perception of this paper is eu countries and leaders didn't condemn what was happening in catalonia. borisjohnson said he was worried by any violence, that doesn't sound like a condemnation of the police. the statement from the foreign office here was buried... it didn't mention any hint of criticism of the police so i think the uk hasn't come out with a firm line in terms of this. to criticise the eu over that probably tells you more about how the telegraph perceives the eu in general, and it pazzini sit in crisis all the time anyway. what do you think? they would have said more had it been a different country. somewhere like hungary or poland in eastern europe where the eu has been very critical before hand. eastern europe where the eu has been very critical beforehand. they also think that this actually shows david
11:36 pm
cameron in quite a good light in a weird way because it shows how what weird way because it shows how what we could have had potentially in this country if things had been a bit different in scotland and david cameron allowed scotland to have its independence referendum —— independence. it was very argumentative but it was peaceful. we didn't see scenes like this. when it comes to nationalism emotions can get very high. let's stay with the telegraph for a moment. tories to press on with universal credit rollout, that's what i've got next, what have you got, are you expecting something different? there was a shuffling and i thought i had thrown the cat amongst the pigeons. this is technological problems causing hardship for people who can't sometimes access their benefits for up sometimes access their benefits for up to six weeks and they have no money to start with. up to six weeks when they are the most vulnerable and low income members of society, often people who are working and
11:37 pm
these are working benefits, or people who have children who are massively struggling. it's a controversial move even among people who support the simplification of benefits. they're definitely isn't. .. when you benefits. they're definitely isn't... when you talk about government rollouts of new technological programmes, i don't think anyone is filled with confidence. it is an odd thing to lead with. the rollout is due to accelerate. it's been trialled in some locations, hasn't gone swimmingly. there's a long track re cord swimmingly. there's a long track record of people saying let's simplify this, there it got several benefits, let's bring them all together but that doesn't often work out as planned. —— they've got. sometimes you change weekly ones into monthly ones and that will affect people with low cash levels. there are intrinsic problems with this and yes, it has a potential to
11:38 pm
backfire and theresa may obviously famously depicts how the conservatives were viewed by many people, cutting benefits won't help. the daily mail says they are the squabbling party, not a time to be squabbling party, not a time to be squabbling as the tory party conference begins and they are all arguing about the foreign secretary. it's coming in the daily mail, which is normally quite supportive of the conservative party, so it's acknowledging there's a split and there is a split and there's something going on that some of the other newspapers have put a brave front on. the express had may is winning on brexit. i don't know where that one came from. we do see here, jacob rees—mogg being quoted here, jacob rees—mogg being quoted here and supporting borisjohnson quite openly so there's the question ofa quite openly so there's the question of a split in the tory party and obviously divided parties don't normally win elections. not if you believe theresa may, when she was on the tv this morning. saying we were
11:39 pm
united and that we would lead the party into the next election, which might be true on the next election could be in a couple of months, who knows! i think the tory party... it is conference season and if you compare it to the labour party next week, where it felt like there was a cult around jeremy corbyn —— last week. obviously he doesn't have the entire support of the parliamentary labour party but he has a huge amount of momentum, sorry to use that word, but he does. there's a sense of whatjeremy says goes and ina way sense of whatjeremy says goes and in a way he is sense of whatjeremy says goes and inaway he isa sense of whatjeremy says goes and in a way he is a unifying figure or they forced him into being a unifying figure and it's the com plete unifying figure and it's the complete opposite with theresa may. she can't really say anything without getting criticised on all sides. but he doesn't have to govern, that's the difference. when harry met meghan ‘s mum, this blair a picture of prince harry and meghan markle's mum, whose name i don't
11:40 pm
even know. do you know much about this —— blurry. even know. do you know much about this -- blurry. it was a grainy picture. meant to be in public. where was the photographer? half a mile away. a zooming lens or something. you've got to meet the pa rents of something. you've got to meet the parents of your prospective whatever eventually, haven't you? you can't put it off for ever. we don't know if it was the first time, that's the implication. very true. i feel sorry for her. i think that unless you are born into it there's no way to prepare for the amount of media scrutiny on the royal family. i prepare for the amount of media scrutiny on the royalfamily. i know she is a quite famous actress and she is a quite famous actress and she has had to deal with paparazzi before but it's another level when you're dealing with the royal family and really good luck because it looks hard. a lot of scrutiny. most
11:41 pm
of us couldn't cope with it. the guardian, production suspended at two sisters poultry plant, a chicken production plant that produces something like a third of the country's poultry products and this follows some filming that went on from the guardian and itv. this is an investigation around not so much animal treatment in this particular case but actually around the treatment of the meat and the recording of the dates. it has got a food safety issue. there's going to bea food safety issue. there's going to be a parliamentary enquiry on this as well and this factory where there are alleged irregularities, the company has said there were some problems and it is re—educated the workforce to make sure it doesn't happen again but basically a lot of the companies and purchasers are pulling back from the company now. including tesco. including tesco. it could be bad for the company, another food safety issue we have
11:42 pm
seen another food safety issue we have seenin another food safety issue we have seen in the past with the burgers and the horsemeat, in the context of brexit, one of the great benefits was we would have less red tape but the problem is as soon as we start looking at red tape, we want to cut which regulations? which ones don't we like? no more chlorinated chicken. we have to show, like the simplification of credit, there aren't these easy wins in policies it sometimes seems. a spokesman for the company has said they are shocked by the allegations, we've been working around the clock to get to the truth of the matter and since the allegations were raised there haven't been any identified breaches so haven't been any identified breaches so there are clear worries there. let's move on to north korea. donald trump dismissing rex tillerson, saying we are going to have a chat with pyongyang, we aren't into dark a place. rex tillerson has probably gotan a place. rex tillerson has probably got an even more unenviable job than
11:43 pm
meghan markle dealing with north korea —— in too dark. their nuclear capacity on a timescale far faster than many anticipated. this is a real nuclear threat and one of the only way is that the west has to deal with it is put pressure on north korea via their largest trading partner, china, which provides most of what they need. that is obviously quite secretive one—on—one communication that rex tillerson has been doing in china and trump has on twitter, accused him of completely wasting his time. i think we need to link this back to something trump said during the campaign, which is america has nuclear weapons, why can't we use them? if you view it in that light you can see where the american president would like to head. so much for diplomacy? yes. he's not
11:44 pm
putting another stall on it but many a nalysts putting another stall on it but many analysts are saying there's not a lot of evidence the north koreans wa nt lot of evidence the north koreans want to talk about pulling back from their nuclear development. they might feel differently if they have no fuel. yes. it may not be that the donald trump idea is about the futility of negotiation. he might not be wrong. but he's still making a lot of promises that he will solve this problem and in this latest barrage of tweets, he's repeating that he will solve the problem. he's writing a lot of checks and the question is whether voters get results and whether his support will maintain. let's go to the i, the hoff is 65, formerly of baywatch and knight rider, the stupidest business in the world and there's a film coming out about him. it is shocking to see him as a sprightly 65—year—old. to see him as a sprightly 65-year-old. i'm not so sure! takes
11:45 pm
yea rs off 65-year-old. i'm not so sure! takes years off him! via someone who has made an industry out of himself. that he is someone. there are people making movies about killing him —— he is someone. it's a comedy? it's meant to be, some might think of it asa meant to be, some might think of it as a wish. i can see the sequels coming. rachel looks puzzled, you're not sure who he is. you could seek and find out. i'm going to do a lot of research on
