10:45 pm
here and said that she was firstly shocked, but felt fully able to deal with it and said, what do you think you're doing, i think you did something inappropriate, and stormed out. she writes quite wittily about it but she says it didn't occur to her to report it and she didn't feel that she'd been violated or anything like that but she thought afterwards, should i have said something, because it wasn't acceptable. just because it didn't make her burst into tears and be very upset, is the kind of thing that shouldn't be allowed to be gotten away with and i think she has a good point. whether this chap remains anonymous after this. we know that everybody working in westminster is going to be digging around trying to work out who it is. i wouldn't be surprised if everyone doesn't know who it is now. it is the latest saga in the so—called pestminster scandal. it is an allegation, it may be right or wrong, we should make that clear. but on the other hand, i think this
10:46 pm
is right, people will say it was ages ago, but the fact that she had the confidence to think that this man was despicable, she could get away and get on with her life: but there will be many young females in there will be many young females in the parliamentary environment who won't have the confidence and strength to walk away. if she's doing it to ruin a career, that's wrong, but if she's doing it to make sure that a female who can't cope is protected them i think that's spot on. i like the quote, she says she has previously met the official at a dinnerand was has previously met the official at a dinner and was struck by the atmosphere of testosterone, socks and lust. i assume she means the colour of there! one thing she says that shocked is that he was younger than her. she had been used to dealing with a generational
10:47 pm
difference, groping from older men, but she was struck by the fact that this man was younger. take it or leave it, a vote on the brexit deal, the brexit secretary giving mps the final say. is this a concession by the government? it's in quite a few newspapers tonight. is what i think they are trying to do, they are trying to do two things. firstly to say to the heart tory brexiteers, look, we're going to engineer this into a position where the choice will be, that the deal we've done, vote yes or no but if you vote no, we are coming out with a hard brexit. there would be no deal and we will rely on wto, we won't pay the money and we will come out. so—called cliff edge. the money and we will come out. so-called cliff edge. on the other hand, if you vote yes, you will have the deal, some kind of single market affiliation and there will be no cliff edge, a transition. that is
10:48 pm
the characteristic. where is good, i think it's politically trying to sort out the hard brexiteers. there we are, we've looked after what you want, and sorting out parliament who say that we should have the last say. where i think it will unravel, they don't have the political influence, the government, to see it through. a lot of members in both houses of parliament will try and see it down. the guardian front page is that for the rebels are not convinced by the brexit u—turn, if it has been one. it depends on what rebels you are talking about. if you talk about the remainer rebels, there's another way to look at this vote. those who don't want brexit to happen could do the ultimate suicide vote, vote it down and call a general election, a vote of no—confidence. is basically destroying their own government.
10:49 pm
there is a possibility of that. that's interesting because how many people would vote to break down the deal but then vote to have confidence in the government because jeremy corbyn is worse? secondly i think it is prime territory, which would be good for the government, for at last some centre—left people to say actually we aren't corbyn, we are an alternative to your moderate centrist person. the daily express, i know this is music to your ears. booming britain's economy. i'm grateful that you are highlighting this because what really annoys me is when news coverage of all sorts, and the bbc but lots of others, they tend to start with the words, when it is good economic news... in the financial times it isn't covered at all. but in other places it is"
10:50 pm
despite brexit". it says that the economy is surging. i think that is an exaggeration. it is a bit. blue but the economy is being robust. there are some default line. i know that the biggest one is the productivity of the nation which is so productivity of the nation which is so low that you can't afford big pay rises in the public sector, you can't afford to do the things to be globally competitive that you need ina globally competitive that you need in a post brexit environment if you don't get more bang for your buck and invest. something that the productivity argument is a red herring because the way we measure it is outdated. that's another argument. at least ours is true, compared to france. the daily mirror talking about what theresa may was talking about what theresa may was talking about what theresa may was talking about in her guildhall speech, a strong attack on russia and by the mere putin. speech, a strong attack on russia and by the mere putini speech, a strong attack on russia and by the mere putin. i know we wa nt to and by the mere putin. i know we want to get away from brexit but you
10:51 pm
can't help but think that by turning the gun is on russia rather than the chaos in her own government and the commons, it's handy —— russia and vladimir putin. it is true, putin has been running a cyber war on all western democracies for a long time and there have been some appalling examples. and there have been some appalling exa m ples. after and there have been some appalling examples. after the terror attack on borough market it has been confirmed that the photograph of a muslim woman which was tweeted over and over saying, look at this woman walking past dead bodies, she doesn't care, was done by russia and was an abomination of the truth. call me a cynic but when i read this, i'm glad the prime minister called it out, i'm pleased, but what can she do about it? putin will be sitting there going, oh, dear! what will the iranian is be doing because, your mess, you fix it,
10:52 pm
boris, the message from the daily mirror. the continuing row over nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe and how the government and borisjohnson have handled it. her husband richard ratcliffe telling him, according to the daily mirror, to fix the gas that may double the prison term. borisjohnson has that may double the prison term. boris johnson has made that may double the prison term. borisjohnson has made a gaffe here, there is no way of looking at it but this is slightly unfair of the daily mirror. i spoke to richard ratcliffe and he isn't calling for boris's head because he knows it wouldn't be in nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe's best interests. they are having a meeting this week. this is politicising the issue. what he said in the meeting was appalling and it has resulted in this treatment. there are so many diplomatic issues, things going on that you don't know about. when i was a minister, one thing i learned in short order, it's a bit like
10:53 pm
property developers who always say that they can make money, but you can in the rising market but the falling market is when the skill comes in. ministers in big responsible posts like the foreign secretary, and prime minister. you judge them on how they deal with crises, not the good times. i think that boris is caught up short here. can he cope with the big crises? boris's talents, of which there are many, are bobby not suited to the stuff that goes on behind—the—scenes, that the three of us behind—the—scenes, that the three of us will never know —— are probably not suited. that doesn't mean he has suddenly got six heads, but he's not suited for the job. the financial times, this awful earthquake, hundreds dead and thousands may be injured on the border of iran and iraq. appalling story and telling that it iraq. appalling story and telling thatitis iraq. appalling story and telling that it is on the front page of only
10:54 pm
the financial times and not any others. i understand the pressures, foreign stories, no matter how awful, rarely get on the front page. but i think it is a sorry state, with this death toll. from a financial point of view, these isolated states, these totalitarian states, a lot of them are in earthquake zones. they can from a financial point of view say, they can look after themselves but in terms of expertise and aid, not financial aid, terms of expertise and aid, not financialaid, expertise terms of expertise and aid, not financial aid, expertise and handling it, being a member of ennis national community —— of an international community really helps. for the people to whom this has happened, it is so bad that it has happened, it is so bad that it has happened, it is so bad that it has happened in a country that has cut itself off. they have a much better chance of surviving if the
10:55 pm
expertise and dealing with this is open to them. the last story, i think we've got time for the guardian, facebook personality types revealed by one like. terrifying but not unexpected, we all know that the most valuable commodity in the world now isn't gold or oil, it is data and facebook has as much data as anyone. data about us. it's a story saying that online advertising campaigns created by academics have targeted people on psychological traits generated by a single like, showing the effects of mass psychological persuasion. similar in politics. we talk about living in a silo on social media and how it affects everything you believe in. on this night of news, that on the
10:56 pm
front page of the guardian, and the business section of the times, a headline about google is facing an attack on the abusive dominance they have. years ago when we were in short trousers it used to be the big multinational, the big oil companies and manufacturers and how they bossed nations. now it is three or four of these enormously socially influential businesses and none of them pay enough tax. this is facebook being powerful but it is one reason why putin is using it. they don't pay tax because... we have one out of time! that's it. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, daisy mcandrew and lord digbyjones. goodbye. in the last couple of days it has
10:57 pm
been cold and many of us have had to put on the central heating, certainly in the highlands. some snow, a nice red squirrel. in the next few days it will turn milder. this process has started and the cold air that has been sitting on the uk over the last few days has pushed to the east and we are getting the mild airfrom pushed to the east and we are getting the mild air from the atlantic. with it comes a weather front. low—pressure and whether france is what brings us the —— and whether france are what brings us the mild weather. it will be drier in the south and the north. after a
10:58 pm
drier and clearer night, it is going to turn quite cold by the morning. temperatures in inverness, 5 degrees but there will be some sunshine degree due in aberdeen. across the rest of the country, from the southern problems southwards, a very slow start to the day. a lot of cloud, bits of result but not very cold. morning temperatures 8—iod. there may be a bit of sunshine but i suspect it will be around the south and south—east. the clouds hanging around through the day, the thickest will be in western areas but some sunshine possibly getting into the far north of england later on, just before sunset. i2 far north of england later on, just before sunset. 12 degrees in the south, a bit more fresh in the north, nine or eight. that was tuesday. into wednesday, it is going to turn attention luke foggy across the uk, especially england and
10:59 pm
wales. for the early morning commuters on wednesday it may be quite tricky, especially outside town, the fog can be pretty persistent and last into the afternoon. i don't think that the fog is going to be too much of a problem elsewhere. wind and rain coming through which is going to prevent the fog from forming. in the south, temperatures may get to 13, in the north, seven. towards thursday, a weather front approaching. in the south, 13 degrees and dry but in the north, more unsettled. this is bbc news.
