it's an unsettled week of idea. it's an unsettled week of weather. it is milderfor a time with rain, wind, but it looks like by the end of the week, things will be turning colder again. we will keep a close eye out. the forecast of where you are and where you are going, this week available online. first the headlines. the president of zimbabwe, robert mugabe, clings on to power after failing to announce his resignation in a televised address to the nation. flanked by military chiefs, he said he intended to chair the congress of the ruling zanu—pf party next month. in doing so, he defied an ultimatum by the party to resign by tomorrow. the leader of zimbabwe's war veterans says plans to impeach the 93—year—old will go ahead, with demonstrations expected on the streets of the capital harare on wednesday. in other news, police say a post—mortem examination carried out on the body of the teenager, gaia pope, hasn't identified any injuries to suggest another person was involved in her death. hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are henry zeffman, political reporter at the times and public affairs consultant jacqui francis. a flavour first of all of the front pages as a whole. the financial times reports that ministers are expected to give theresa may the go ahead to increase the government's brexit divorce bill offer to move on eu negotiations. there's the times. they say robert mugabe's refusal to resign as zimbabwe president has left the country in despair. the metro also leading on zimbabwe, describing mugabe as "clinging on to power". and the daily mirror says

former defence chiefs have accused the government of damaging front line by cutting funding. and the daily mail says that universities have used wealth screening to look at students' earnings. in the guardian, they look at the chaos in zimbabwe following robert mugabe's decision not to republic sign this evening. and the sun claims victory in the campaign on energy tariffs reporting that changes to rates could save households £75 a year. let's begin with a closer look at some of the front pages and we'll start with the guardian and the top story is zimbabwe after that surprise decision, to most people, that mugabe is not resigning after all. it was the most extraordinary speech. robert mugabe who has ruled zimbabwe for almost a0 years, flanked by the military. quite clear who was in charge now, delivered

this 30—minute speech — a ramble is afairer this 30—minute speech — a ramble is a fairer thing to say. but even while watching it, you were expecting the ramble to come to a close saying — and here's how i'm going to republic sign. and it —— resign. and it just going to republic sign. and it —— resign. and itjust didn't happen. now it's chaos in zimbabwe. people trying to work out whether he missed offa trying to work out whether he missed off a bit of the speech, which was meant to say he was resigning or whether this is a plan to reassert control, or whether the military for happy for him to stay in charge as long as some of the people around his wife, grace, have less influence, but it is the most extraordinary spectacle. what did you make of it? it when on for 20 minutes saying, it will come, it will come, and it just minutes saying, it will come, it will come, and itjust never did.|j think something else is going on in the background and in this particular article, it said the south african development community is to meet in angola and they're talking about the possibility of letting him stay and letting things naturally come to an end. so the

idea that you would impeach him, that still would take months. so he's not going straightaway, if you go through a process. if you tell him to go, fine. but if you want the constitutional process to take place, it does take time to do that. and it sounds like there is now a disonance between — you've got to go now, the people on the streets want you to go, this is what we've been negotiating but constitutionally, and in the speech, he seems to be talking about the constitution to do things properly. so i think if he's clever enough, he's put them between a rock and a hard place, really. and a rock and a hard place, really. and a lot of commentators even talking about the fact that mugabe, at the age of 93, is quite a wiley player in all of this. certainly. and although he did seem quite doddery, as you might expect for someone of his age. and at some points, he fumbled on the words and one of the generals who led the coup turned the pages for him. but he talked at one point about presiding over zanu—pf‘s

forthcoming party congress, even though they kicked him out from the leadership position and are going to start impeachment proceedings tomorrow, so clearly he has a way, in his mind, a way that he's going to stay on top. if we look at the times. their angle, "zimbabwe to stay on top. if we look at the times. theirangle, "zimbabwe in despair" as mugabe clings on. and we're expecting then to see more demonstrations on the streets because of course this, although it's a political story, it's very much a story of what the people of zimbabwe are looking for as well? yes, the war veterans. everything pointed at the fact that he was going to go. no negotiations about how long he was going to go. and it just seems that there's a huge disappointment in the air and that isa disappointment in the air and that is a really dangerous thing, because people are taking to the streets. they're going to want to say — but the military, you said this was going to happen, and it hasn't. and it's a coup, but it's not a coup. and that is the tipping point where it could turn into violence, and that's what everybody wants to avoid. yes, it was noticeable, i thought, in his speech, he referred

several times to the track record of zimbabwe as a peaceable people, as if almost saying — this may not be what you're expecting everyone, but let's not get carried away and turn into riots on the street? this started as a palace coup, if it were. it wasn't a ground—up thing, although we've seen protests of that sort in zimbabwe before. but now that the generals have started this process , eve n that the generals have started this process, even if they think that they can control it by putting someone else from zanu—pf, mugabe's former deputy in charge, actually, what the people on the streets are asking for is much more profound, a change in the economy, a change in how the country works. and that's quite different, and those two visions might be hard to reconcile. take us back to the guardian but we'll drop back to bottom of the page now. hammond rules out £a million cash emergency boost for the nhs. this looks at a lot of mutterings in there about what may oi’ mutterings in there about what may or may not be in it, and the

suggestion is that money for for the nation —— for the nhs, not. suggestion is that money for for the nation -- for the nhs, not. at this time, everybody brings out the begging bowl for something. and this seems from simon stevens is head of the nhs, who had said it needs the cash injection of $4 billion. and he's saying, no, i want reforms first — you should have done more to get the nhs in better shape. so it's kind of tit—for—tat. "you said you'd do something about social care, you said you'd get the nhs in better shape and then we can give you more money. " shape and then we can give you more money." and simon stevens says, you haven't done any of that. i suppose he's saying, why should i not ask for more money because you haven't done what you were supposed to do. so it is the toing and froing, but hammond says everybody does this at this time of year. it's true that the horse trading is starting at this time of the budget and talking about house business and other things we might expect to see. the story shows how constrained philip

hammond is coming into this. a lot of the mps, bruised by the election result, say you need to loosen the belt a bit, particularly when it comes to the public sector, but philip hammond, leaving aside the fa ct philip hammond, leaving aside the fact that he's probably more economically dry than some of the mps doesn't have that capacity and he seas saying to the nhs, you've got to find savings yourself because i've got a lot of other stuff on my plate. let's stay with philip hammond because the daily telegraph over on the side there, he may be under pressure on one front, but also putting pressure, he says on theresa may. and this is to do with money for the eu and specifically the divorce bill and the shenanigans going on about how much. we're back to this thing of — what do we want first. there's no "show me the money" which is what brexit and the eu is saying. first of all, philip hammond and the rest want to know, what exactly are we going to be getting out of this? when then we

can start talking about how much we're going to get. it's the ordinary people who are concerned. the money is large amounts of money, but this has been going on for so long and people are wondering — when are you going to talk about substance ? real issue are you going to talk about substance? real issue that is impact upon us? people are making decisions about whether to stay in this country. businesses, in particular, are making decisions, while they're still saying — well, we're not going to negotiate this until you tell us exactly how much money you're going to give us, and we're not going to give you as much money as you want until you tell us what you're going to get out of it. stalemate, impasse. and the ft choosing to explore this story. may set to secure cabinet support for a higher divorce bill offer and she may have her work cut out with some of the characters in her cabinet? what this story explains well is that this isn't just a story explains well is that this isn'tjust a question about how much britain is going to offer the eu, it's also a question about how divided theresa may's cabinet is, on brexit but on much else. so there

are basically two factions on the brexit war cabinet subcommittee that will decide whether they'll approve theresa may doubling the offer from £20 million to £a0 million. and on the one hand, philip hammond wants to make a generous offer and stay close. but on the other hand, you have borisjohnson, the foreign secretary, and back in alliance with michael gove, the man who crushed boris johnson's hopes michael gove, the man who crushed borisjohnson's hopes of leading the tory party. it is a multisided scenario. it's a psycho drama, some might say. and theresa may, a more skilled politician than theresa may would struggle to solve it. but she is certainly struggling. it's interesting, coming back to what you we re interesting, coming back to what you were say, jacqui, about the politics of it, for the westminster geeks, it's all very exciting for a lot of people watching and thinking — how is it that all these months in, we're still at stage one and the eu negotiators are saying, until this is sorted, we can't move on and we just seem to have got stuck?|j

is sorted, we can't move on and we just seem to have got stuck? i think we got stuck because the division is -is we got stuck because the division is — is our heart really in it? and the eu,i — is our heart really in it? and the eu, isuppose, sent — is our heart really in it? and the eu, i suppose, sent that. and maybe they are on our side, trying to make it as difficult as possible, thinking — they'll come to their senses. once we've discussed this, they'll go — maybe. and then another thing, another thing. and they'll go — maybe. and then another thing, anotherthing. and then, theresa may has this fractured cabinet, which are pulling her this way and that way. and she's trying to negotiate her way through two things and finding it increasingly difficult. and europe are just pulling their hair out going — look, we're talking about money. if you're not talking about anything else, we don't want to discuss it. money first. show us the money. while you're saying show us the money, the is beautiful there for henry on the daily mail. millions spied on by greedy top universities. what's this all about? it's a really interesting story, actually. so the mail says that top universities, 2a of them, all of them in the russell group, the top group of universities, have

hired investigators to basically find out how rich all of their former students are. but it goes well beyond just income, it's also their investments, their pensions, who their friends their investments, their pensions, who theirfriends are, their investments, their pensions, who their friends are, the value of their homes. now, on the one hand, this is a story about universities trying to get money to fund research and new buildings and all the stuff they do in the 21st century, but it's also a really interesting story about how much we put online these days. the mail says there is a suggestion that some of them might have broken the law, but some of them, a sophisticated person with access to google could find out themselves. so there is the question of— themselves. so there is the question of — what are we putting out there? it might be just the universities trying to fine out, but there are other people who might like to know sometimes. did this surprise you, jacqui? no, it didn't, because universities have always used their alumni to try to fundraise, and in america, it's a very, very big thing. you know, if you've got very famous and very important alumni, you can build amazing things. so this is no surprise. i suppose, my

one surprise is that they paid a firm to do this, when, as we said, there are a number of social media organisations that you could just quickly go online to tell you everything you need to know about these individuals. it's interesting that parallel you draw there with the states, because it's a huge thing in america. there's an expectation really that you give back to your old alma mater and i'm not sure that that is transferred across the pond there?|j not sure that that is transferred across the pond there? i went to university in america and yes, you consta ntly university in america and yes, you constantly get letters saying that now you're an alumni, would you consider making a monthly or whatever donation. so it is big business for the institution. we're going to finish with money, as well, because this is money for all of us, not just those who are because this is money for all of us, notjust those who are being targeted by their old universities. the daily telegraph — black friday deals are not always what they seem. are we going to be disappointed? the concept of black friday is an american import as well, so i suppose being doubly shafted by american culture tonight. this

actually doesn't surprise me too much. it basically says that shoppers are predicted to spend £2.6 billion, or £i.8 million per minute this friday as part of black friday but some of the discounts aren't what they seem. that's notjust but some of the discounts aren't what they seem. that's not just the case on black friday. sometimes in supermarket, you might see wine marketed at a0% off, but when you look into it, it was only that higher price for 15 minutes on the previous friday. so it's basically a call on all of us to wise up and not necessarily get carried away with when we're told to shop and work out when's best to buy what you need. because this is which, the consumer group, who have looked at prices around black friday 2016 and monitored the prices up to black friday. do we need to be a little bit less gullible? i think we do, but there are some savvy shoppers out there. but yes, you're right, we all look at something and go — great, 40% off. but sometimes there's a little in the small print that will say — from this period to

this period, at some point, it was this period, at some point, it was this price, so there's always been theissue this price, so there's always been the issue that the price had gone up and then they discounted it, so were you getting a good deal? just be careful what you wish for because it's not always correct. in two words, are you looking for anything on black friday? possibility! not saying what? possibility a phone! 0k,
