welcome. nice to see you. tomorrow's front pages... a number of tomorrow's front pages look ahead to the prime minister's meeting in brussels tomorrow. the times writes that a senior brussels official says britain and the european union are "90 %" towards a deal that would open the door for transition and trade talks on brexit this month. the independent reports on fears from meps that the future rights of eu citizens in the uk and britons in the eu are being forgotten as a deal gets closer. the express says theresa may faces a backbench revolt if she gives more concessions to the eu. the financial times says the prime minister is set for a momentous day in brussels. it also reports that there has been a surge in swiss banks‘ reporting of suspicious activity by saudi clients. the telegraph focuses on the virtual currency, bitcoin, saying there will be a crack—down amid concern it is being used to launder money and dodge tax. natalie will give a masterclass in

bitcoin isn't she? she knows more than us. that start with brexit. the times, brexit tilt 90% versus senior eu official, unnamed. but obstacles remain. 90% and yet we've heard nothing but problems about the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland? teams behind. it's d—day tomorrow, the prime minister meets with the president of the european commission, and if britain doesn't satisfy the eu by tomorrow then it's made the necessary moves on these keyissues made the necessary moves on these key issues that the talks can't progress to transitional deal in future trade, as you say, the biggest stumbling block has been the irish border. on friday the eu may clear it would stand united with ireland which has insisted britain is not satisfied. about the

inevitable return to a hard border if britain leaves the customs union. it seems strange we will be 90% there if it is not subtle but that's what the times has then told. there's a desire on all sides to reach an agreement, you tend to hear a clear claim from the brexiteers that the eu wants to punish britain. but they want to get into a trade talks but on its term. written as a concession after concession to get this far and many more come tomorrow to class telling either cross over the line. that was the warning from the line. that was the warning from the pm today? that pro—brexit mps do not want her to give anything of the way. they are so destructive in their own party and her negotiating sta nce their own party and her negotiating stance because it looks like she has i'io stance because it looks like she has no control over what's happening behind herat no control over what's happening behind her at home while she goes out to brussels. the one saint i think they are hoping for is a vaguely orderly situation is this is traditionally the case with eu

negotiations on a larger scale, there is no hope at all and then at 3am on the final morning after the final night, suddenly people claw their way to final night, suddenly people claw theirway toa final night, suddenly people claw their way to a deal. it means everyone canjust their way to a deal. it means everyone can just about walk at home with a bit of dignity intact, we got what we wanted or at least enough. that's what we have to do, the alternative is live in a cave. i'm not ruling it out. don't do that, we need you here. it says something about the state of the negotiations that britain get into the estate of discussing our future trading arrangements is treated as a triumph. even getting to talk about trade. the bar is getting lower and lower. its fumbling to get your pads on before you face the fast bowlers. this is the easy part. but you're supposed to be at the wicket this month. that was the deal. the ospreys to negotiate. and if we're not then business will go bonkers. they have put in place their

contingency plans to move operations out of britain by the start of next year if they have no certainty that all will be well in the end. but look at the independent. rob malik has a byline on the front. eu citizens‘ rights are at risk. has a byline on the front. eu citizens' rights are at risk. the loss in issue that there are three divorce issues that the eu said we must make progress on. the eu citizens they said would be the priority at the start. when we picked up on meetings that meps have had with chief negotiator, there is a fear that the eu will give way to much an eu citizens because as i said, the eu also wants to talk about trade. some of the issues about trade. some of the issues about the guarantees that eu citizens will have about their rights will be shunted into the second phase of torque. it will be settled now, —— will not be settled now, thoroughly reunification, children born after brexit might

have a different legal status, overseeing the rights of eu citizens, and if they don‘t, those citizens, and if they don‘t, those citizens will be subject to uk immigration law, the home office talked about a hostile environment and have started deporting immigrant. those fears for eu citizens and british citizens in the eu. but there is no focus on this issue and certainly meps are worried that that is being sidelined because their focus is on the other two issues. this will affect millions of people here and across the eu. it's always the way with these kinds of big macro negotiations that actual individual human people. get forgotten. while we are discussing with a border or trade deal might look like, that actual people who don't know whether will be able to live or have their children will be considered citizens. that is a huge amount of anxiety for millions of people to be living with on a daily basis. i feel it is one of the few

things it what everyone wants which is what people to be ok and britons in europe to be ok. if it were me, andl in europe to be ok. if it were me, and i wasn't sure whether i could stay, that wouldn't be good enough. i would be worrying all the time. and people are choosing not to say because of the uncertainty like businesses. this letter the financial times. french offer warship burts if marines and up marooned by uk defence. what are they offering? rather sweetly, everyone is furious about the negotiations and it looks like we may cut our amphibious vessels which sounds more fun that it is. i think not sadly as also was hoping giant frog. but actually it's about. ——

boats. the marines might not know where to train so they might have to stay on a french boat and the french as we desert if you need some training room, if you need a rapid response force to be trained and ready to go, we have boats they can go on. it remains to be seen what they then observe on if we've got rid of amphibious vessel. what do you use when you need to use them the real? a place for following goes? camouflage they hope. that is a heron isn't it. camouflage them and go we have three capable boats so different. they have anthropomorphised the boat. the skill of these particular vessel. we have two presumably boats but we might get rid of them. it is sport and hms albion. if it wasn‘t for brexit and damian green pawn allegations, falling out with donald

trump over the collapse of the nhs, the social mobility crisis, this would be a crisis facing theresa may because backbenchers are furious about defence cuts. they are worried about defence cuts. they are worried about them and i can only imagine the worries and response of those backbenchers and then let it is the french who might come to our rescue. i don‘t think that will improve their mood. it smacks of those concerns about having some kind of eu wide military force dozens at? which are entirely against, it seemed to be the case months ago when the referendum is being done. and if we don't have somewhere else to put our marines, we have to put them somewhere. if they can't wander around on demand... we spend our entire budget on trident of course. it's entire budget on trident of course. it‘s a deterrent, rob. a deterrent. state the facts. samurai. that‘s an opinion isn‘t it group. and people don‘t agree with it. not my opinion. the i. pensioners face

poverty time bomb. this is hot on the heels of mass resignation of the board of the social mobility. one in five, let's stop for a minute, there's14 million five, let's stop for a minute, there's 14 million people. that is an enormous number. people who are now at 60%, is that now poverty killing a median earnings. it's an enormous number of people living in the charity and it doesn't look like it will get better. the numbers orwe we look like it will get better. the numbers or we we have seen this weekend is that people will not buy property, they will rent through their pension years and rents will

not go down. the housings cost will stay much higher than traditionally. they will pay off their mortgage before the messiah. —— not value is useful if you downsize but if you don‘t have a house you can‘t. children are caught up particularly in this. the warning about pensioners might be more surprised. there are lots warnings there will be an explosion in child poverty but pension poverty has been the great success of the last decade. to go into reversal in that would be particularly depressing. i am less surprised to read about children in poverty and as the foundation points out, one of the reasons is the four year freeze on benefits, out, one of the reasons is the four yearfreeze on benefits, including tax the introduction of universal credit, these are the policies that theresa may inherited from her predecessor and which he‘s done nothing to change. that is one of the reason why alan milburn and his

tea m the reason why alan milburn and his team have had enough. when it comes to try to highlight the problems and improving social mobility, they see the direction it is going rate is going to make lots of people poorer. the daily telegraph, stretch your legs, treasury targets bitcoin criminals. tell us briefly about bitcoin. bitcoin is crypto currency, you can spend online without people necessarily knowing who you are like a debit or credit card which are attached your name and address. a debit or credit card which are attached your name and addressm doesn‘t exist in notes and coins. there is not somewhere a little electronic coin. it is more like a commodity because it is created by people coding. difficult and complicated coding which encrypts the transaction and the reward for thatis the transaction and the reward for that is a small fraction of a bitcoin and by doing the thing that makes the currency usable you acquire a small matter of the currency. does it make sense? yes.

that was a clever explanation. currency. does it make sense? yes. that was a clever explanationlj short that was a clever explanation.” short listed for the transmission buys, jamie butler was like a excellent book the .net. that's weird showing. i've read a difficult book. another is a criminal concern about it. there has always been. it's about it. there has always been. it‘s on the front page of the daily telegraph. it's mainly used to going to launder money, buy drugs and dodge tax. the three main groups. the telegraph has uncovered the treasury plan to target bitcoin and plans to regulate it. amendments to regulation to make sure the digital currencies have to go through the same currencies have to go through the sa m e text currencies have to go through the same text as normal currency. what strikes me is its this information was buried
