10:31 pm
sebastian kurz, who is 31, is well short of a majority and may have to rely on the far—right freedom party, to form a government. the republic of ireland is bracing itself for the arrival of hurricane 0phelia. there's a severe weather warning in place although it's hoped that by that time it makes landfall she will have been downgraded to a tropical storm. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are parliamentary journalist tony grew and the entertainment reporter, caroline frost. soon to be published author, caroline frost, this week. tomorrow's front pages starting with the metro — which says the hollywood producer harvey weinstein is to be
10:32 pm
investigated over at least four more alleged sex attacks in the uk — one in 2015. the express is warning that what's left of hurricane 0pehlia is set to bring two days of storm chaos. the i is claiming victory for its campaign against dangerous driving, after the government announced drivers who cause death in the most serious cases of could now face life sentences under new legislation. the daily telegraph claims the chancellor is planning a budget raid on older workers to fund tax breaks for younger people. the times leads on the news that the prime minister will fly to brussels tomorrow for emergency talks with european leaders to break the impasse on brexit. in an exclusive, the sun claims that the hundreds of thousands of crimes will no longer be investigated by the metropolitan police. the guardian focuses on the terror attack in somalia which has killed or injured 500 people. it's brexit, folks. the times and also the ft. we'll folks. the times and also the ft. we‘ ll start folks. the times and also the ft. we'll start with the times. may dash
10:33 pm
to break brexit deadlock. it says in the second paragraph it is a surprise trip. not that much of a surprise trip. not that much of a surprise now we've published it nobody in the press told anybody about the prime minister's movements, and so on, although it has been in her diary for sometime, although not in mrjuncker‘s diary the talks broke down last week. there were three areas, how much they are going to pay and eu citizens‘ rights and they feel there can‘t be progress on those areas before they can move on. but mrs may‘s troubles extend further than that. later on in the story it tells you the eu withdrawal bill, legislation has been delayed in the house of commons because 500 amendments have been put down and significant amendments from tory mps
10:34 pm
who want to curb the powers ministers are trying to give themselves under this legislation, her landmark piece of legislation has possible postponed so the whips can talk to the rebels. 0ne has possible postponed so the whips can talk to the rebels. one thing if i may say — i doubt europe‘s going to say anything to her in private that they are not saying in public. they are saying we need to make progress in these areas. and michel barnier has a tight set of instructions from the eu 27. it is one country against a huge block. and as tony made the point to me in frgs k their priority is to secure as much money and continuing assets and resources as previously. because once we divide ourselves from the eu block that's a massive chunk of change that comes with us and they will be very keen — france and germany, i mean if we move away with all that money, guess who will be stumping up, it will be those two countries. yes, at the moment we are a net contributor and everyone else will have to move up a bit. the ft,
10:35 pm
may presses merkel to end the impasse. is she the key to this? angela merkel? i'm not so sure, she is an important player and with britain leaving she is about to become a more important player but the point caroline has made is right. a big amount of money, they talked about it in the times as 238 mill bill yob euro, the outnd stag eu payments up to 2020. about i3% of thatis eu payments up to 2020. about i3% of that is thought to be the uk‘s. if you are the leader of germany, theresa may will come to ask you to get through the impasse. the bottom line for germany is the less britain pays, the more germany will have to pat’- pays, the more germany will have to pay. it‘s quite limited. again i‘m not sure what exactly she expects angela merkel to say to her. also, because as you point out, michel barnier‘s negotiating position is decided by 27 eu leaders and 27 countries have to decide how we go forward and 27 countries want money from britain. my suspicion is we will see some movements towards the end of the year but it is getting
10:36 pm
really critical. if we can‘t get progress on the trade negotiations going by december, a whole lot of companies in britain who‘ve been doing contingency planning for a ha rd doing contingency planning for a hard brexit will have to start to make decisions about their business in 2019 at the start of 2018. if we don‘t see progress in the members next few months, we could see companies preparing for a hard brexit which could see banking jobs moving to eu nations. it is unclear what the position will be post—2019. it is that word, uncertainty. millions of people want to know what their rights are going to be, from here or the eu i came back from france today with a whole bunch of british citizens living in france, we had long conversation, where we will be in two years? nobody could a nswer will be in two years? nobody could answer i would add to tony‘s point, even angela merkel is not the force she was 18 months ago. yes she is still in a position of great authority and much dimmed and following all those bangs on her
10:37 pm
head regarding immigration in germany, she‘s fighting her own battles as theresa may is in this country. one thin thing, which is thae. u's spokes united. what is britain's position and what do we want? it depends on what cabinet minister you ask, from brussels' point of view it is unclear what the british government wants, if theresa may will still be prime minister? 0h, some more politics in the daily telegraph. hammond‘s tax on age budget. an intergenerational fairness is what he is aiming for? he is going to steal from the old and give to to the young, the latest tory plan to dig themselves out of the insanely large hole they put themselves in with the their ill—timed general levenlingts young people don‘t vote for tories, think they hate young people. a very big
10:38 pm
statement tony i will be honest with you, the numbers bear it out. if you visit, actually a really interestinger article on this on buzzfeed if you want to look it up. 0ther internets are vanchts the chancellor has a budget in november and undera huge chancellor has a budget in november and under a huge amount of pressure from his own backbenchers to get good retail policy they can sell both to young people and to people chont get on the housing ladder and chatter about student loans and what can be done. this is make or break for the chancellor. his last budget in march was a shambles and ended up having to withdraw some of his proposals within days a huge amount of pressure to get this right. proposals within days a huge amount of pressure to get this rightm this more to do with older workers being penalised rather than the retired. there was the idea of the dementia tax that went down badly, you would have to use your home as an asset to pay for care in older age? the implication is the older you are, the richer you are. reality doesn‘t always bear that out. there will be a huge number of very
10:39 pm
wealthy young banker who will be very happy to hear about this and older people much worse off who will be shrinking and thinking how can we get through another cold winter if this is being thrown at us. as tony said it was a key week for mr hammond. last week it was a key week if for hammond. last week it was a key week iffoer hammond. last week it was a key week if for mrjohnson. it is almost like the top of the far—away tree, like the top of the far—away tree, like the world moves around ands of philip hammond‘s turn. i think there are only so many u—turn‘s that mrs may‘s cabinet have maybe left up their sleeves. what will this mean in terms of spending? if you are taking from one set of tax payers and giving to othert may be cost neutral to the treasury? well given e giving enough of a cut to younger workers and cutting tax relief for older workers but you are right there is not lots of money around. the chancellor sunday pressure, the brexiteers are attack him because they think he is trying to forestall
10:40 pm
a hard brexit by the not spending loads of money, on, for example, new borders posts we may or may not need depending on whether they have a ha rd depending on whether they have a hard brexit. brexiteers have the knives out for hammond but i suspect looking at it in a global sense, the brexiteers think they have the powers but i think you will nibbed a couple of months that they don't and there is a group a majority of tory mps who might well in the course of the next few months, start asserting themselves more, not to keep us to remain, but to try and to affect how ha rd remain, but to try and to affect how hard the brexit will be. shape the nature of it. ijust think, as well i‘m getting a little bitaway of this whole brexiteers and remainers, it was a year ago that division, but these days as james o‘brien pointed out tote today on social media, there is the implication of remainers of which i am, certainly was one i’ remainers of which i am, certainly was one r glorifying in this chaos and saying — told you so you but we are no longer spectators we are up a participants in this outcome and it is time the two groups saw it is the
10:41 pm
way forward. that is he a all my ra nt way forward. that is he a all my rant is over. no, that's what you are here for. and gps to defy nhs diktat on patient sexuality this. suggestion doing the rounds that doctors or hospitals could ask you what your sexuality is and some doctors not comfortable with it.|j think we may disagree on this but we are keeping our powder dry and restrained. this came out today that as part of the equality — is it a bill or a law? equality act that doctors, one of their new ways of ensuring equality across the sland is to invite any patient that crosses their door to answer what sexuality groups they would like to conform to and tick the commensurate box and clearly some people have objections to this on privacy grounds and various doctors have already indicated they will be defying it and now the college of
10:42 pm
medicine have said they expected this to happen. people are allowed to not say anyway, aren‘t they? this to happen. people are allowed to not say anyway, aren't they?” think it is adding a load, it is skoouing sexuality to be something thatis skoouing sexuality to be something that is more private and perhaps more tucked away than other medical issues. certainly if anybody can be trusted with material, it is gps. gps and the receptionist and everyone else that reads your medical records, i don't think so. look, even people that are out as 95v, look, even people that are out as gay, lesbian or trans, p look, even people that are out as gay, lesbian or trans,p often aren't out in every aspect of their life t isn't a simple tick—box exercise, i find distressing that the government thinks it is a tick boeks exercise. dump —— box exercise. i think people choose or not choose to share with their doctor about their sexuality. this is a whitehall tick box exercise about the nhs in england deciding it needs to know everyone's
10:43 pm
sexuality so it can checks that whether or not the equality act, the gift that keeps on giving, whether they are serving lbgt communities. i think the nhs tries to serve those communities properly and improves it andr communities properly and improves it and r but i don't think this tick box is the way to do it and that's why doctors have reacted the way they have, they understand it is something that should be discussed in privacy sho that the bureaucrats that can ensure nhs england can assure they are complying with the law. with the metro, weinstein, four more uk sex claims, four more on the two we were reporting earlier. we don‘t have the details but we have been reporting three and it looks like it could go up it will undoubtedly go up. we have seen this on the other side of the atlantic and now over in the uk. the actress lysette anthonie waived her right to eunan incompetent today. she tweeted in the week saying she was making an historic claim and going to
10:44 pm
merseyside police and she has said she is one of weinstein‘s alleged victims in the uk. so many women prepared to waive their rights to anonymity which we are afforded in this country if it is a sexual offence. yes, and there have been scores of allegations not just offence. yes, and there have been scores of allegations notjust in the ku.d, from famous and not so famous women in america this. story will run and run. to me it is about the culture of hollywood. every time i read this, i think it is about culture of powerful men and starlets who want to get ahead. he is not an abuser by himself. he has been facilitated by lawyers... he hasn't beenp found guilty, yet, does that not give you... admitted to a lot of stuff. he has not saidmeaculpa but he has used that defence, i grew up
10:45 pm
when the culture was different. that‘s it for the papers from now. are we doing some more now? no.
