11:32 pm
this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment, first the headlines: police in britain are now investigating claims of sexual assault by three women against hollywood film executive harvey weinstein. one of them the british actress, lysette anthony, says she was attacked at her london home in the late 1980s. a warning of steep rises in food prices if we leave the eu without a trade deal. but a cabinet minister says that british farmers would produce more food for the nation. police investigating the sudden death of an 11—year—old boy in county antrim believe he may have been attacked by the family dog. the car maker vauxhall says 400 jobs are to go at their plant at ellesmere port in cheshire by the end of the year. the company has blamed declining sales in europe. patients in england who go to see their doctor or attend a hospital appointment may be asked to declare their sexual orientation. ireland is bracing itself
11:33 pm
for the arrival of hurricane ophelia. 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 papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are parliamentaryjournalist tony grew and the entertainment reporter, caroline frost. tomorrow's front pages, starting with. .. the metro says the hollywood producer harvey weinstein is to be 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 opehlia 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
11:34 pm
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 news that a terror attack in somalia has killed or seriously injured 500 people. the mail claims the inmates of some of the country's toughest prisons are being paid for cold—calling householders. so let's begin. starting with the macro kos and more brexit. —— the times. don't mean for these deadlines to be read out loud! the prime minister takes charge on talks in brussels. she's blind to brussels tomorrow and will have dinner with the president of the european commission, i jean—claude juncker, michel barnier, the leading to shed will be there, as will david davis, our negotiator. —— the lead negotiator will be their. —— there.
11:35 pm
is this a rush? the position isn't different from the eu, michel barnier represents 27 governments, they want progress on citizens' rights, the orange border and the bill. if britain is going to pay up —— the irish border. if they are going to honour their commitments to the budget. from a brussels point of view they have a united position, they look across the channel and our government at the minute and we don't have a united position. our position depends on the cabinet minister you are speaking to. the majority has been lost at the election and the disastrous conference put her into question. we are farfrom conference put her into question. we are far from strong and stable. we will have to come to a decision about money and we will have to make about money and we will have to make a financial commitment. haven't we already said we will be paying something? but it's been very vague and we haven't said exactly how much. it could be tied to the idea
11:36 pm
that the uk has a couple of times asked for a two—year transitional deal and the un in terms of trade to allow a cushion so when we leave in 2019 we don't fall off the cliff, we continue arrangements as they are, a big concession from may and something that annoyed her own brexiteers but that hasn't elicited any movement from the eu because they will not move and talk about trade and future trade negotiations until there is certainty around the irish border, the bill and citizens' rights. uncertainty for so many people, individuals living here and living in other parts of the eu and businesses? absolutely, we have seen mrs make, clearly, the strong and sta ble mrs make, clearly, the strong and stable epithet, i hope it won't be one of those tax that comes back to haunt her —— mrs may. she's had a terrible fortnight, i disastrous co nfe re nce terrible fortnight, i disastrous conference speech, she's seen of a coup and the wobbles from boris johnson, fresh wobbles from philip
11:37 pm
hammond —— seen off. she's hoping to catch a good wave. she's hoping a miracle comment gets dropped into conversation over dinner, she need to come back with something. we saw david cameron storm off to europe and come back, he promised a deal but he didn't deliver. this is another one of those —— is to europe. the whole country, so many people wondering —— dashes. the day has gone when we can partition between brexiteers and remainers, we are all brexiteers, so everyone will be hoping something can be made of this. lots of people will say they haven't given up the hope it won't happen in the way they want it to. from the point of view of the eu, the uk made this decision over 15 months ago and now we are running to brussels? what is the southern impetus now? you messed around over article 50. you called a general election you didn't need to call. ——
11:38 pm
sudden impetus. there's been things going on with regards to her decisions in london. i don't see what's going to be said in private that hasn't been said in public. the daily telegraph has a very eye watering headline. how do you lose £490 watering headline. how do you lose £1190 billion? watering headline. how do you lose £490 billion? what happened is the office for national statistics have found out their calculations of what britain has, our assets, the uk's net international investment position, they got the sums wrong. not unusualfor position, they got the sums wrong. not unusual for that to happen with the government but this is certainly a blow considering what we were talking about about demands from the eu for the uk to pay money. the concerning thing here is if our currency comes under pressure, and it could well do in the brexit turmoil, it may happen, it may not, we could end up with a frictionless transition, but if the currency
11:39 pm
comes under pressure this means we've got £490 billion less to prop up we've got £490 billion less to prop up our currency than we thought and that's really worrying. we all need rainyday money. this is so low down the page! it is the telegraph. it is tucked away under gps defying the nhs and boris johnson tucked away under gps defying the nhs and borisjohnson in tucked away under gps defying the nhs and boris johnson in a tucked away under gps defying the nhs and borisjohnson in a row boat. a wonderful metaphor, calm waters for borisjohnson this a wonderful metaphor, calm waters for boris johnson this week or another rowing metaphor? i'm not sure. shall we look at the mirror? this is lisette anthony, who has waived her right to anonymity, and she says she was raped by harvey weinstein, a man who has had so many allegations of sexual misconduct or assault of various degrees thrown at him in the last couple of weeks. we know over the last decade or so he has at least been paying off various women who have made allegations. we know he has admitted to making huge
11:40 pm
settlements. this will be the first time, if this does go to court, that he would have to present himself. this is what's remarkable about this particular episode. lisette anthony has been remarkably candid about the awful experience she claims to have gone through at his hands back in the 805, now she is saying she will notju5t the 805, now she is saying she will not just wave her anonymity and add her name to those alleged victims, but she will actually wait to see him come toju5tice and if so she may well be at the forefront of many other women willing to support her andjoin her in other women willing to support her and join her in her case. one of the other papers saying there are more women coming forward in this country, we can't confirm that, we don't have a statute of limitations here, so no matter how long ago this happened you can still be prosecuted. that's right. we have to consider getting a rate conviction in this country is very difficult. especially one that happened so long ago? -- rape conviction. indeed. but
11:41 pm
tells you about the problems we have in this country and the dynamics we have between men and women. the focus on this case makes it seem like this is just a hollywood thing with celebrities, this happens all over the country, lower—level harassment is something women have to deal with in the workplace and in other contexts. i think it is brave for her notjust to talk about her experience or her alleged experience, but also to say she is willing to stand up in court but what makes me sad is it is highly unlikely there will be a conviction. he has to get through all the investigations in the us first. the mail, an exclusive, the cold calling convex. what are they doing in prison, caroline? -- convicts. the inmates, the mail claim5, prison, caroline? -- convicts. the inmates, the mail claims, they have an exclusive from inside, inmates, including fraud5ter5, i don't know if they are highlighting them because they are seen as bad people
11:42 pm
or if they are money people... they've got the skills. they are quizzing householders on the contents of their home, the idea is the inmates of the toughest prisons are being tru5ted the inmates of the toughest prisons are being trusted to harvest 5en5itive are being trusted to harvest sensitive information, including financial affairs, and they are picking up £3 40 a day to call potential customers for insurance policie5. we all hate cold calling at the best of times, i don't think thi5 at the best of times, i don't think this will make anyone feel happier about taking those calls. you say that but i don't agree. what? that people hate cold calling. around six yea rs people hate cold calling. around six years ago when i was at university i did telephone polling as a job at university and a significant people of this country don't have contact with people and when you phone them up with people and when you phone them up they are delighted to have contact and they are going to talk and talk and tell you anything about their lives. there's a difference between polling and somebody 5elling something. the point on giving is their phone hasn't run for a week.
11:43 pm
maybe two weeks —— and wrong —— hasn't rung. there's a much more vulnerable cohort of our society and the idea the geniuses running our prisons think this is a good idea tells us everything we need to know about the lack of care towards society as a whole. this isn't a scam, this is legitimate work? absolutely. they are undertaking work as part of their sentence to undertake these cold calls, probably for private companies, they get paid a small amount, £3 40 a day, i suspect the prisons get considerably more. caroline, you had to defer to tony and his understanding of cold calling. we are both going to defer to caroline now with the metro headline. please explain. iam to caroline now with the metro headline. please explain. i am glad i have exposed tony'5 lack of ignorance in this area. tay tay, for
11:44 pm
the uninformed, i5 taylor swift. she ha5 the uninformed, i5 taylor swift. she has an english boyfriend and presumably without digging too foren5ically into the small print, i would assume 5he foren5ically into the small print, i would assume she has made her way to that most engli5h would assume she has made her way to that most english of dishes via her new love to the british kebab. she ha5 new love to the british kebab. she has put it firmly on her menu and shared it with her several million social media followers and has become what they would probably call and influence in the kebab world. this is headline news, tony? front—page news. i have no idea who she is! she speaks very highly of you. she's not even an mp. it shows the power of her brand, the fact she's gone to a kebab shop is front—page news. she's gone to a kebab shop is front-page news. i can't imagine she needs many of them, she is so slender. they all eat what they like andl
11:45 pm
slender. they all eat what they like and i don't know how they manage to keep the weight off!|j and i don't know how they manage to keep the weight off! i know exactly how it stays on, not off that's the papers for tonight. all of the front pages are online seven days a week and you can see the programme again on iplayer. caroline, tony, thanks to see you both. coming up next, the film review. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, as ever, is mark kermode. good to see you, what have you been watching? a very mixed bag. we have been watching the snowman — a thriller starring michael fassbender. we have the ritual — camping holiday goes to hell. and loving vincent — an oil painted animation.
