week, particularly cold start to the week, and then as we get on in the tuesday, the breeze will have freshened up through the evening. it will be there as wide a noticeable feature, as will the raid through western scotland and northern ireland. and again, this tuesday reinforces the monday into being quite a quiet start. make the most of that because wednesday could get a bit disrupted. up through the irish sea, plenty of wind, rain eventually and rain to be had as well. some of it quite heavy across northern and western scotland through northern ireland but at least the wind coming in from the south, nine to 12 will cover it. but thatis south, nine to 12 will cover it. but that is your last mile day of the week. because we lose the south—westerly flow along those isobars and we eventually pick up in all spots thursday into friday and on into the weekend, we back into the sort of thing, you may remember, this is how it was in the middle of last week. we ended up with those snow showers across northern and western parts and some eastern areas as well. it starts, settles, then it gets too wet and windy in the middle pa rt gets too wet and windy in the middle part of the week, then it turns much, much colder. loads going on, we have the full nine yards on the website. hello.

this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: on the eve of a crucial meeting for the prime minister in brussels, a group of leading brexiteers, demand guarantees, before any "divorce bill" is paid. all four board members of the government's social mobility commission have resigned in protest of what they see as a lack of progress towards a "fairer britain." the white house says north korea's nuclear ambitions pose "the greatest threat to the united states, and to the world." a lorry driver who crashed into stationary traffic on the m6 after falling asleep at the wheel is jailed for 16 months. sky—watchers can begin catching glimpses of this month's "super—moon" when the moon appears larger and brighter in the sky. brothers, dave and james franco star

in the disaster artist about another film, the room. find out what me and mark kermode think about them in the film review. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me is the deputy political editor of the independent, rob merrick, and the author and broadcaster, natalie haynes. tomorrow's front pages, starting with this. thank you for coming in in and thank you for staying for the second review. that is ok to do. a number of tomorrow's front pages look ahead to the prime minister's meeting with the president of the european commission in brussels tomorrow. the times reports claims that the uk and the european union are "90%" there on 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
11:33 pm
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. some of the papers, like the guardian, are leading on research from the joseph rowntree foundation, which found almost 400,000 more children and 300,000 more over—65s were living in poverty last year than in 2012—2013. the i has the same story, describing a "poverty time bomb" for pensioners. the daily mirror says the report exposes theresa may's pledge to tackle poverty as a sham. 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. looking at tomorrow and the brussels meeting. brexit is 90% complete. things are apparently going quickly.
11:34 pm
we were thinking we were nowhere near trade. it looks 90% absent 20 minutes ago. it looks 90% absent 20 minutes ago. it was casually mentioned by an unnamed official. work is needed to find a formula to satisfy ireland. a p pa re ntly find a formula to satisfy ireland. apparently we are not bothered about the good friday agreement. that is surprising considering theresa may and the dup. they don't want to border between ireland and the rest of the country. theresa may is in a bind. she has to satisfy the dublin government and the eu, guaranteeing they will not be a hard border after brexit. but she cannot say she is more aligned with dublin than
11:35 pm
london. after saying that, i don't understand how they can be 90% there. perhaps they are rounding up. in orderto there. perhaps they are rounding up. in order to get to phase two, they don't have to reach agreement. they just need sufficient progress. that isa just need sufficient progress. that is a very wide margin. progress is whatever they decide it is. they wa nt whatever they decide it is. they want to move on to trade. the bar to is lower than want to move on to trade. the bar to is lowerthan an want to move on to trade. the bar to is lower than an agreement. —— to clear. the government wants to have a two year transition deal. they recognise not everything will be ready by march 2018. they could be talking about a transition deal even if not enough has been done to talk
11:36 pm
about trade. one of the big issues with the divorce bill in the irish border was supposed to be the rights of citizens. apparently they are at risk. we want to focus on other issues. it seems to have slipped down the pecking order. what we picked up from brussels was a series of meetings meps have had with the chief negotiator for the commission, the belief that the eu is willing to compromise too much and keep these issues into phase two. there might not be guarantees eu citizens desperately want. the legal right to stay would still be in doubt if the uk left without a deal. they say they should focus separately on making sure they can leave and stay. evenif making sure they can leave and stay. even if that agreement is reached, there is the family reunification rights, the rights of those born
11:37 pm
after brexit, whether they will be overseen by the european court of justice rather than the home office, which many conservative mps are suspicious of. many were told wrongly they are being told to leave the country when they have a right to stay. many are choosing not to come in the first place now. the trouble is it is equally awful, i would imagine, being a british citizen living on mainland europe not knowing what your rights will be inafew not knowing what your rights will be in a few years' time. these individual people are quite easily swept aside in pursuit of a greater gains believed by those negotiating. these are actual lives of people thrown into complete disarray for yea rs thrown into complete disarray for years to come because no one is prepared to stand up and say you wa nt to prepared to stand up and say you want to stay there and you want to stay here and you can tell each other out. you are welcome. —— you cancel each other. that seems like
11:38 pm
it quick and easy thing to fix. if you cannot get that thing done, i don't fill terrific about borders and trade. the headlines are optimistic. a french warship berths. the french are coming to the rescue. we would have a more fun story if this weren't the ft. we may be getting rid of amphibious craft due to cuts. the french still have some. our marines could go and train on them because we will have a couple of rafts and perhaps a canoe. we should notjoke. it is serious. of rafts and perhaps a canoe. we should not joke. it is serious. but it isa should not joke. it is serious. but it is a bit funny when it becomes clear that in the words of nicks childs, we may have deficits in shipping is, ie, we will
11:39 pm
childs, we may have deficits in shipping is, ie, we will have childs, we may have deficits in shipping is, ie, we will have none, but we have a world—renowned force in the marines. the french have the ships, but their marines are in the army. there is room for cooperation. they have ships and we have the people to put on them. this could work. unless everyone needs them at the same time. yeah. you have to put a downer on it. this would be a big story if it was a normal week. we have not had one for a while. conservative mps are not happy about defence cuts. money is being spent on cyber warfare and triton. people will say that troops are not needed any more. looking at the state of
11:40 pm
the western world, people might think closer communication between allies. but many people in this country are suspicious of what they see as a euro defence force. the guardian. a sharp rise in child poverty as cuts bite. we had a mass resignation of the board of the social mobility commission. they said he would not be replaced anyway. but the prospect is that things will get worse for those who are already poor. they are devastating figures, no doubt about it. the first thing to point out is this is the first increase in child poverty in 20 years. they found 700,000 more young people and pensioners are living beneath the
11:41 pm
bread line. if you think that is bad, a separate study for the institute for fiscal studies said 5.2 million children will be living in poverty in the next five years. it isa in poverty in the next five years. it is a truly terrifying figure. the figures out today, 700,000, this has already happened already in the last four years. the criticism of the prime minister is she made that speech everyone admired in downing street when she took over. she said the government would look after the downtrodden not the favoured few. but the criticism is clearly that shejust made a but the criticism is clearly that she just made a speech without action. austerity is not over. a long way to go of it. as i said, the numbers being quoted are just horrifying. 30% of children in poverty. how can that possibly be true? that number just poverty. how can that possibly be true? that numberjust seems so incredibly high. but the increase is 700,000. that is not the net figure. the net figure is one in five. 40 million people living at 60% of
11:42 pm
median income. it is a terrifying number. these are actual real—life people who cannot cope with pay freezes and the rising cost of living. none of these things are likely to change any time soon. if austerity was lightened, the cost of living ceasing to rise, seems optimistic. the best before date in a bid to cut waste. this is the coop. apparently they will be selling food after best before dates including chips and lollies. it was previously being sent to landfill. now it will be just reduced in price. as we know, best before race
11:43 pm
not same as use by. you will not be poisoned by a slightly stale crisp. you will just poisoned by a slightly stale crisp. you willjust get some calories you need for iop as you are already suffering as we read from the previous story. it seems like a little bit of progress to reduce waste and give food to people who are in poverty. i don't think that isa are in poverty. i don't think that is a good solution, but it is better to do that than not do it. many people who can afford to pay full price will say it is a good idea to stop the waste as well. it is a positive thing. one supermarket, coop, they will do it and others will follow it. wonky veg is another. i got a wonky carrot and a wonky cauliflower. it is a broad

church where you live. they look funny but they are ok when you cut them up. we will finish with the guardian. air pollution stops play in delhi test match. i liked this story. go on. dramatic riches of sri lankan players with gas masks. —— pictures. everyone knows the air quality is horrific death and i would not want to live or a play or bowl fast in those conditions. but as you get to the bottom of the story, skulduggery is afoot. yes. that is according to the chairman of the english cricket board. he says there was a point where sri lankan players were put in gas masks and fast bowlers were unwilling to ball. they got 507 runs. india felt obliged to declare at that point because the sri lankans would not
11:45 pm
bowl at them. they came out to bat and were not wearing gas masks. that is when the indian board said if for the 7000 people in the stance did not have a problem and the england tea m not have a problem and the england team did not have it, why did the english team make a farce? —— stands. last year in november they had to stop two tests. in defence of those who exercise in terrible weather when we should not, it is much harder if you are running because you are breathing more deeply. i cannot imagine what it is like for the pollution to be so bad you are, and i quote, vomiting continuously. i do like the word skulduggery. it is not quite a
