it is now begin talking about trade. it is now one ever. you have begin talking about trade. it is now one ever. you have no begin talking about trade. it is now one ever. you have no option. they have to push ahead in the next stage of the docks by the start of next year fows of the docks by the start of next year rows with as much as a deal being struck by the time we get out of the eu. so this is not so much that britain has a chance to negotiate, we have to start offering what the eu is willing to take. theresa may talked about 20 billion and now seems 40 billion is a thing that will get the sign. the interesting thing is that boris and golf has said, we see the situation as it is, we're willing to push ahead. right project, move onto the next stage because otherwise the brexit deal will be a disaster. they have to hope it works, because of the torment and cnet is enough progress on a few other things, they will have thrown away the best negotiating card. a lot of brexiteers have come out in light of this and are furious that we would increase our divorce bill. they say that we should not have to cough up

much of it. this money has to come from somewhere. 40 billion, if you sign that offers an ongoing cost and it ends up in the treasury book on the finances is a bit more competition and initially think, but this is money that could be spent on something. it could be spent on domestic priorities and the nhs and hospitals. there is enormous pressure for robert —— public spending. selling this to the public will be quite hard, that we are still being monitored eu, that will not go down well. hamida is under a lot of pressure on wednesday to cough up cash for infrastructure to the nhs and defence. —— hammond. whilst also sorting out the deficit. we have a huge debt crisis at the moment. national debt is something like 1.8jillion moment. national debt is something like 1.8 jillion pounds. moment. national debt is something like 1.8jillion pounds. —— trillion. a chancellor is going to

be saying, well, there's not much money to spend, we have to keep a tight on public spending, one suspects there could be more of this row suspects there could be more of this row to go. let's have a look at the metro. michel barnier, speaking earlier, saying that brexit really means brexit. the telling thing for this is that he has spoken in english. he is that he has spoken in english. he is normally quite... your whiskers answers at press conferences in french and is always reluctant to engage in english back and forth withjohn oster press engage in english back and forth with john oster press conferences. —— he with john oster press conferences. — — he always with john oster press conferences. —— he always answers. he has delivered this foreign english reading audience and skier the average reader and make them realise the situation's gravity. two big eu agencies based in london, an auction process like the eurovision song contest, the medicines agency will go to amsterdam after the vote and

the bank agency will go to paris. this is the real effect of brexit and we are already seen it at home. the government said it wants to promote global britain after brexit. but those agencies moving is not a great diplomatic sign. michelle bachelet is wanting to play hardball and his comments are showing us that things will not be easy after we decide what this divorce is going to be. he was talking about a trade deal and said that the dome happened so long as britain stays very close to the eu on a lot of those regulations on food standards and social roles and environmental protections and so on, which a lot of the brexiteers want to... that seems to my mind to be increasingly the way things are going. we will have a technical brexit and definitely come out of the year but the reality for a terms of their relationship with other countries and how they work in terms of regulations is going to stay pretty

similar. we're just going to copy and paste everything across and technically we will be out but in reality we will be pretty much on a lot of the same regulations. of course, all this is complicated by the situation in germany. a lot of the situation in germany. a lot of the newspapers picking up on angela merkel‘s difficulties in forming a coalition. the times talking about, theresa may told to exploit the metal prices and exploit the brexit bill. germany in a great time political turmoil and that, why don't the uk use this opportunity and say, oh, actually, we should not be giving billions and try and force the eu's and. germany and france are the two countries that have been quite tough in this process. we are told other countries are quite willing to let the talks progress onto trade. by taking advantage of this, it is hoped that the uk can move forward without putting up too much cash. it is

telling that this is the same way that no—one expected theresa may's election gamble to feel so dramatically. merkel was supposed to easily win her fourth term in office in germany. the opposition said they would not go into another grand coalition, will have attempts to form coalitions with other parties has failed, it seems. that is not how german politics works. we have had brexit there was not supposed to happen, donald trump's victory, was not supposed to happen. things that are not supposed to happen in politics keep happening. although the times are quoting some of the ardent brexiteers saying, well, if the e is weakened by merkel‘s plight, we could reduce the brexit bill, it might make things more contributed in terms of getting progress. the argument is it could prolong the brexit talks. how can

they discuss it with germany doesn't have a functioning government? it is worrying because they need at least a sort of government to represent germany on the table. several of the other papers have variations of those very telling pictures of angela merkel. another one on the front page of the daily telegraph. the difficulties and the anguish etched on angela merkel‘s says. the difficulties and the anguish etched on angela merkel's says. as we said, this was not supposed to happen. when we think about the brexit bill, we think of it has one set of negotiations that when it is concluded with toxin brussels, we have a deal. this needs to be signed off by other nations. it is not as simple as on the eve of brexit, we signa simple as on the eve of brexit, we sign a bit of paper a bit like ending a warof sign a bit of paper a bit like ending a war of something. this is a lot more complicated and needs to be signed off by all the parliaments. merkel being in an unstable position is not good for that. the caption says merkel faces battle for survival. she said today she would not resign and that she would rather have another election than try and

form a minority government. we will see what happens. but that could ta ke see what happens. but that could take months, of course. another story on the telegraph... cancer another story on the telegraph... ca ncer tests another story on the telegraph... cancer tests at supermarkets. this is the idea that britain actually isn't that great at long—term cancer survival rates. one of the problems is getting people tested, getting them to go to the gp and checked out at hospital. maybe, if you start doing the tests in as of market car park will people do their weekly shop, you could pick things up early and treat them and get better survival rates. make sure people can live slightly longer and happier lives. there was a telling stat there which is —— statistic in the other the uk isn't the worst —— is the one of the worst countries in terms of these rates. and you might

get the more quickly than you can at most gps! people are frustrated that they try and get an appointment and can't actually get one. the chief executive of nhs england is also confirming plans that there will be home testing for bowel cancer screening. a lot of people don't even screening. a lot of people don't eve n we nt screening. a lot of people don't even want to leave the house to deal with these issues and the idea that you can do this at home would be very welcome for a lot of people. the telegraph has another story about the eurotunnel changing its name to create what it calls a more anglo—saxon identity. name to create what it calls a more anglo-saxon identity. goodbye eurotunnel plc, hello... i have lost the name! it is in tiny text on the telegraph front page. it is apparently a more anglo—saxon name. getlink four. it is a bit of a silly story but you will see more of this, corporate businesses trying to work

out their identity after brexit. how many people will use the term getlink instead of the eurotunnel? we should also just look at one another story express has on its second page. the queen presenting a rare gong develop before a party at the castle. —— to philip. celebrating 70 yea rs of castle. —— to philip. celebrating 70 years of marriage. really is an extraordinary achievement. very long time. we don't see prince philip burial —— very often any more. quite a nice picture of them all out on a trip. i like the idea of the queen giving her personal honour to him two 70 years of marriage, which is a bit of a strange relationship. congratulations for putting up with me for 70 years, have a nice little metal, darling. yes, here you are darling, the knight grand cross of the royal victoria in orderfor

services to the sovereign. how has he gone 70 years without getting this so far? what is wrong with 60? cash she been dangling this in front of him, waiting until he hit his 90s to get it? why did he have to wait so long? you wonder if that is what usually open to get as they celebrate their 70 years together. exactly. quite an achievement when you consider especially so much of the time spent here in the public eye, the time spent here in the public eye , even the time spent here in the public eye, even though as you said prince philip taking a slight back seat now that he has stood down from his formal public duties.|j that he has stood down from his formal public duties. i like the fa ct formal public duties. i like the fact that he took out his nephews, which conjures up the idea of smokers are clear. when you're 96, his nephew maximillian is 84. less a sort of energetic family reunion, maura gentle carry right through

windsor park by the looks of things. —— carriage ride. thank you both very much indeed for joining us tonight. you can see the front pages of the papers online bbc website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. now to catch up on the latest weather prospects. hello. what goes up must come down. mild now, colder again by the end of the week. some sunshine today at st ives, 17 celsius in the sunshine in cheshire, but it was still close to freezing in the coldest parts of northern scotland. here, temperatures actually heading up a bit overnight and into tomorrow. some wet weather around the band of rain moving through northern ireland and northern england and on towards southern scotland

and the central belt by morning, and a very mild night for northern ireland and across much of england and wales. tomorrow, the winds start to freshen up across northern and western parts of the uk — a breezy day. a lot of dry weather across a large part of england and wales. rather misty and murky and it could be a bit drizzly in places, but the main thing out and about in the morning is double—figure temperatures, just how mild it is. a bit of rain affecting northernmost parts of northern england. it will have cleared away from northern ireland, but a pretty wet picture to begin with across a large part of scotland. some of this rain on the heavy side, surface water spray, so a miserable commute in the central belt. further rain and hill snow right in the north of scotland, but even here on the hills, turning to rain as the mild air progresses further north. a wet day to come here. a spell of rain mayjust fringe the eastern side of northern ireland and into parts of wales and western england in the afternoon. a breezy day, but definitely brighter breaks in the drier parts of england, where those temperatures again could reach into the mid—teens and perhaps as high as 17 celsius.

going through tuesday evening, some outbreaks of rain pushing further south—east. it stays wet across parts of scotland, and then on wednesday the focus actually of the heavy rain shifting into parts of north—west england, where cumbria and lancashire could see 25—50 millimetres, maybe up to 100 in the hills. there could be some impacts of the rain for parts of wales and areas of western england and northern ireland and scotland, with very brisk winds. sunshine across east anglia and south—east england, lifting temperatures quite readily into the mid—teens. as we go to thursday, colder air starts to feed in, initially to scotland. we could see some snow across parts of northern scotland as thursday begins, as that colder air feeds into northern ireland and parts of northern england. it looks like, by the weekend, that cold air will be all the way south across the uk. once again, it turns things a bit drier and brighter as it happens, but with the possibility of wintry showers. colder air last to reach southern areas on saturday. this is bbc news.

i'm carole walker. the headlines at 11: at number 10, ministers are said in principle to agree an increased brexit divorce payment to the eu. but in germany, the future of chancellor merkel, one of the eu's strongest voices, is in doubt after the collapse of coalition talks. robert mugabe faces a formal process of impeachment following his refusal to step down as president of zimbabwe. and now they are man and wife. from 1947 to 2017, the queen and the duke of edinburgh have been celebrating 70 years of married life. and on newsnight, merkels plans for a government run aground. what next for germany, europe, and brexit plans now? and should paperchase be forced to apologize for advertising
