parliamentary answer from the treasury. last month. it seems that the government does not want to boast about these plans to regulate... keep quiet. not sure how confident they are. i gather it will be an eu wide arrangement so there's a quote from the treasury expect these negations did include at eu level, 2017-2018. i these negations did include at eu level, 2017—2018. i went affect us for very long then. that will be depending on whether we crashed out with a deal or not. final one, daily star. all roads lead to brexit. strictly alex in a race hate them down. alexandra burke finished joint top of the leaderboard in strictly but... found herself in the dance off miserably because it's an ongoing accusation that has dog strictly over the years that viewers tend not to vote for the contestants who are not white. it's not always true, alesha dixon one and last year

had a winner, but alexandra burke is an excellent dancer and has always been an excellent dancer, so some people perhaps not voting for her because they are certainly some people are not voting for her —— because they are racist, who knows? others attacked debbie mcgee because she is not a trained dancer, she is also 59, it seems quite small. i don't get caught up in the previous training because many people on strictly have previous training but i fraught that lost because i am in the funereal black. you can't prove this though can you? nothing must add unafraid, and not an expert on strictly. fortunately we are out of time, you are safe. the papers will be back. that's all for this hour.

don't forget all the front pages are online on the bbc news website where you can read a detailed review of the papers. so it away is my pen at you. see you both at 11:30pm. next, it's meet the author. fiona mozley‘s elmet is a story that you might describe as contemporary gothic, raw and dark and lyrical with a rich bit of melodrama, debut novel powerful enough to take it to the man booker shortlist in the autumn. told by a ia—year—old, it sets the here and now against a brutal and more elemental past and explores a complex and ambiguous relationship between three members of a family who are all in their own ways different. welcome. it's interesting that in trying

to write about the contemporary world, trying to say something about the contemporary world, you were drawn to a wild past, a man who lives on land that he doesn't own in a house that was built with his own hands. how did you come to feel that that was the best avenue to write about the here and now? i think contrast is always a good two when trying to talk about something very specific, and i did want to address the issues of today. i think those are brought into relief by considering the history of the place, kind of old ways of living, different ways of living, and i wanted to place those things together and see what happened. to suggest although we think

we are more civilised than people were many years ago, that is not necessarily true? modes of reality change, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse and i wanted to examine that. ——modes of morality. i also wanted to suggest that the boundaries of landscape have not always been the same. borders change. they are mutable. by giving the novel a older feel, i wanted to suggest that not only things have been different in the past but they can be in the future. the question of ownership of land and property, it produces a very dramatic even melodramatic ending which we won't describe in detail, to spoil it for those who haven't read the book, but let's talk about the plot. it is told by daniel who is 14, and it is a story that revolves around his slightly older sister and their father. it is a very tight conception. the stage is not very crowded. i wanted to include these three

characters and they are all serving a different purpose, they are very different in temperament and very different physically. i wanted to explore the relationship between temperament and body and they are all trying to look at each other and thing, how do you work, i can't understand it because i'm so very different from you. the father is a very heathcliff type of figure. slightly unfair, but you know what i mean, there is a strength and fearsome strength about him. the way he feels he can mould the world to his purpose physically. yes. he's a masculine archetype, exaggerated and deliberately exaggerated and there is much about this book which is deliberately exaggerated. he embodies everything which is positive and negative

about masculinity. cathy, the daughter, she rolls her own cigarettes all the time. she does indeed. her issue is that she takes after her father in many respects but not physically, she can never match his strength. she is constantly being underestimated by those around her. daniel is stuck with telling the story which it does worry touchingly and lyrically. when you have described it justifies the phrase which are used moment ago, that it is a gothic novel in many ways. it uses extremes, almost as if it is lit in bright colours and darkness. i do see this as a genre piece and i was influenced by the narrative arc of westerns, i was influenced by the setting of yorkshire, and because this plays with the genre there are moments which are familiar in their in their

extremity and melodrama. there's a lot of touching the landscape involved in this. elmet is a place to this day, but it was the last celtic kingdom? that's right. in around the seventh and eighth century, it was the last kingdom that kept... in england, that is, that kept its celtic heritage, and that was a term which is problematic in many respects, but there is something separate and distinct about it. ted hughes has written about this. ted hughes came from that soil and he did write about this, do that influence you? yes and no. i read his poems as i was drawing to the end of the project. but i think that they did influence it in some respects.

the passion that he instils in the relationship between people and their surroundings, physical surroundings, is one of his great characteristics, and that is clearly what you are trying to get to here, there's a great deal of lyricism in the course of a story which is sometimes quite dark and spare and even brutal, and the plot, but you imbue this with a lyrical top. i was aware there were so much darkness in it, so much which was unpleasant and i really wanted to counter balance it with some lightness. i wanted the description of the place and the family relationships to have a warmth and in terms of the landscape is so much about physicality and i wanted it to be a landscape that you could reach out and touch, something that appealed to all the human senses. without going into the details of the climax of the book, there is a sense with which there is a victory of sorts

but nevertheless the book has a feeling of something that has been lost. so much of the book is about a lost world, people trying to recover that lost world. you are still in your 20s. just about. so, this is a book that to some degree must be seen as one that speaks of your generation. do you think the sensibility you are bringing to this is one which is quite common? that there is a feeling as people of your age look forward, that it is inescapable that something has gone? i think so. certainly in terms of forging a home and finding a place to live, that is one of the greatest challenges. that is at the centre of the story. it is a book set in yorkshire but i started writing it in london, so it has a double identity.

first novel, you end up on the man booker short list, alongside the winning book and authors like paul auster, extraordinary. yes, it is. the enormity of it only hit me at the ceremony, because part of me had been trying to shut it down, and just take it one step at a time, but when i got to the ceremony and all those people around me, that is when it dawned on me, that my life had changed. to put it crudely, it must be encouraging, you want to write, you are doing a ph.d. part—time at the university of york. fundamentally you want to write fiction and that is not bad way to start. yes, it is a pretty good way to start, and one other thing is the short listing has done for me is allowed me to be more daring in the future. there is an issue with who gets to write, the sort of fiction that different people get to write

and feel entitled to write and this short listing allows me to be brave in the future, i hope. fiona mozley, author of elmet, thank you very much. thank you. sunday turned out half decent from many areas, a little cool to start with and ending on a glorious sunset which gives hope, if you're looking for the supermoon you mostly in with although the far north of scotland quite a bit of cloud and rain and the south—east, quite a bit of cloud there. you'll notice one or two spots in
