10:45 pm
we have there is news on a deal. we have agreed £50 billion and the residence rights for the i nationals and now the irish problem but they seem to have gotte n the irish problem but they seem to have gotten somewhere with. the key words are what you pointed out "barring" that is the caveat. as we don't know. we know they are work through the night. the times, the financial times head lines uses three fs financial times head lines uses three f5 in the first two paragraphs, frantic, frenetic, that theresa may is being forced into talks and she may or may not be going to brussels tomorrow. so it is frantic and frenetic but... that is the difference between the telegraph but everything is calm with the ft. brussels is having its arm twisted but dealing with the dup. there was a source who told the sun that they will not blink as we have taken our
10:46 pm
eyelids off. that is how tough they are. it was surprising on monday that things had not been squared off with the dup, you think they might have talked with them in advance? that is right. you wonder what is going on behind the scenes. the public persona that it is calm, that it is under control and the discussions are going ahead but behind the scenes what is happening. if the dup we re scenes what is happening. if the dup were not aware. if theresa may had to come out of that lunch at the time to have the conversations, if the dup had to then make their own statement, basically, telling us all that they are not satisfied with the talks. to be fair they have looked ha pless talks. to be fair they have looked hapless at times. but this is unchartered territory. we have never had to deal with something as big as this for a long time. on both sides, it is easy for the eu to be intransigent. so what you have to
10:47 pm
remember, this is a deal to get a deal. we are not anywhere yet! we are read being deals and deadlines, people thinking it is sorted but it isa people thinking it is sorted but it is a deal tojust people thinking it is sorted but it is a deal to just start talking about trade. exactly. what was interesting, yesterday when the eu said that they we re yesterday when the eu said that they were working until sunday, the working week goes up until sunday so that this means this could go up to the wire. eurocrats working at the weekend! and the true deadline... that is march 2019. so they are putting the pressure on. but the truth is between the calmness of the daily telegraph and the frantic nature of the ft but it is in there for goodness knows how long to come. and the other story on the front page of the ft, a company reporting zero gender pay gaps that are
10:48 pm
inaccurate. companies are not telling the truth about what this epay? yes, one in 20 companies have submitted gender pay figures and looked at it and said that they are improbable, therefore, inaccurate. but the companies if they have more than 250 employees they have to submit the figures to see the differences in the pay gaps, submitting the mind the median figures. they have been putting them m, figures. they have been putting them in, they are the same. the statisticians are saying this is untrue. impossible. so they are either one that they are lying, two, they don't know the mean and the median, or three, they don't care about it. or four, they don't think they would be found out. to me, if you put forward figures to say this is what you are doing, the reality of the situation, as we have seen in the run up to this, that there is a massive gender pay gap. women are
10:49 pm
pushing the boundaries, saying this must stop. so that is to me the fourth dimension. they thought that they would not be found out. so you get the impression that they are not taking it seriously. so what does the government do, name and shame us, we will go away but there are no penalties. but openness and honesty about the figures is crucial to the process? it is. hugo boss, they it had theirs pointed out it was unequal but then that there was a 32% pay gap. now the mail. the fuss about the mail's headline yesterday with the interview with the new defence secretary, talking about them killing britishjihadis is: i will not back down headline in the morning? it is the sort of thing that the right—wing readers want to hear it. a lot will be happy to see
10:50 pm
that happen, given the terrorism happening on our shores. gavin williams is trying to talk tough. setting the stall out early on. there has been a back lash, as they are saying in the mail, enraged liberals. not everyone likes to see slaughter. that is fair enough. but they are saying that they are legitimate targets for military strikes. what's the alternative? february they are detained, what happens then? they cannot be killed in me are detained, can they. i am wondering whether or not he is sending out a message, as you said, he is new in the job. he is now sending a message to say he is tough. snow if he said we will let them in the country and everything would be fine, there would be an up roar. so he is going the other way. saying
10:51 pm
that they are legitimate and therefore a threat. and senior public prosecutions and so on and senior public prosecutions and so on have raced questions about whether or not it would be legal to actually kill people who have gone out tojoin actually kill people who have gone out to join is? that's it. what are the circumstances but as he is talking in big headlines and he wa nts to talking in big headlines and he wants to show he is a tough guy, we don't know about the detail what he means. this will go down well with mail readers and others, as he is saying he is not backing down. we have had it this week with the failings in the m15 m15, the terrorist attacks where a lot of people have died. and is there a message, about him saying he will not back down in terms of brexit and has may backed down? well, he does wa nt to has may backed down? well, he does want to be the prime minister eventually. a lot of politicians have that idea.
10:52 pm
goodness me, now the times the bitcoin bonanza takes hold of the wormed markets? laney?” bitcoin bonanza takes hold of the wormed markets? laney? i didn't know hot air cost so much. what are bitcoins. it is a cryptow currency that people are getting excited about and spending up to £20,000 just for one wit coin but i'm not sure. i had a conversation with a student who was thinking of buying into the crypto currency. there are others on the markets but ijust find the whole thing, there is nothing tangible. i'm not sure where you spend your bitcoins, and also the volatility in the markets in terms of worth. it is massive. bitcoins are doing
10:53 pm
better than the pound ? it is massive. bitcoins are doing better than the pound? they are but it looks like it will be a bubble. i heard earlier on the bbc, somebody being interviewed, it is the fear of missing out. they are piling money into it, as they are seeing others piling money into it. the bubble will burst. robert skiller has told the times it will crash. there is a warning. good luck everyone. —— robert schiller. now, gordon ramsey, he is complaining that too many are coming into the restaurant complaining that they are intolerant of gluten, wheat, garlic or tomato. it says here that 50 customers —— in raymond blanc‘s restaurant, that 50 customers come in with issues over food. the reality is if you have
10:54 pm
allergies, you have allergies, no chef wants to put themselves in a position where they have a customer who has turned ill because of a result of this. it can be serious. he is talking about people who are saying that they are gassy when they have eggs, which i'm sure a lot of people do. but he says it is part of the trendy eating culture. i suppose if they are 50 customers, getting their bespoke dishes from raymond blanc, you would feel rather special. he isa you would feel rather special. he is a michelin starred chef, surely he can cope? as customers we are demanding the things we want. it is not cheap to eat in a two—star michelin restaurant. it maybing showing that food in this country has changed so much that people are, there are so many things
10:55 pm
in food making us ill, that people don't know what good food is anymore, they haven't tasted it. you can see why people are going in there, saying that they have intolerances, as we are being fed a load of old rubbish! now, your paper, the express, just for a change has talked about the weather. we talk about brexit as well! look at this headline, freezing chaos! well a lot of our readers are 60 plus. they don't live down here in trendy media london land, living in nice heated homes, many can't afford to heat their homes overwinter. they need to know what it will be like. lurks travel, there will be chaos over the next few days, it will be very, very cold. chaos over the next few days, it will be very, very coldlj chaos over the next few days, it will be very, very cold. i think you are right. we can mock the idea of chaos, snow, all of the rest of it, it's going to be minus 12 in parts. in some parts it will be snowing and
10:56 pm
it does affect a lot of people. 0ld people can't leave their homes as a result of it. so i hear you. and you get nice pictures. everyone likes to see a nice bit of snow. and as we are coming up to christmas, it's a nice festive paper! michael and laney, thank you both very much indeed. that's it for tonight's paperers. you can see the front pages of all of the papers online on the bbc news 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. my my thanks to laney and michael, goodbye. the winds are blowing hard across
10:57 pm
the north of scotland, especially the north of scotland, especially the northern isles. we are going to keep the very strong winds there through the course of the night into tomorrow. most of tomorrow it will bea raging tomorrow. most of tomorrow it will be a raging gale there across 0rkney, shetlands and the north of scotland. here is storm caroline, barrelling into the norwegian sea heading to norway. taking away the strong winds. that is where the core of the strong winds are. it is a large storm. behind it, we have colder air coming large storm. behind it, we have colderaircoming in large storm. behind it, we have colder air coming in from the north and over the hills of scotland is a blizzard in some areas. there are snow showers falling in northern ireland, the north—west of ng.land, northern wales and some into the midlands and by the end of the night i suspect that there could be wintry weather in the far south—west. probably more likely to be sleet. the coastal areas will have generally sleet. snow and some ice as the temperatures are dipping below freezing during the course of the night. in the north, this is
10:58 pm
where we see the most amount of snow. unsurprisingly. strong winds here, blowing over new york any, shetlands, so blizzards. freezing at 8.00am above glasgow. you can see where the snow showers. now remember, the snow showers, the individual ones are 20 mile, 10 miles across. they are moving quickly. with the winds, so the snow flurries moving quickly, then the sun is coming out again. they are affecting the northern and the western areas. if you get one after the other, after the other, after the other, after the other, after the other, after the other, after the other, you could manage to get five centimetres, maybe 20 in scotland. but the snow showers not reaching the eastern counties, so here mostly sunny and cold. saturday, snow showers around and ice too. but the snow showers becoming less frequent. it is cold. three celsius on the thermometer, in
10:59 pm
northern england, with the wind feeling below freezing. the next problem arises on sunday. a weather front off the atlantic, bumping into the colder air, a period of snow somewhere around here. stay tuned for that one. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11pm: brexit negotiators are expected to work through the night in a bid to reach a deal on the irish border. foreign secretary borisjohnson is to visit iran soon and raise the case of the jailed british—iranian woman nazanin zaghari ratcliffe. palestinians clash with israeli forces in protest at president trump's decision to recognisejerusalem as israel's capital. and on newsnight, as well trying to keep up with the latest brexit
11:00 pm
developments, we'll also be looking at the subject of anorexia. a problem obviously associated with adolescents, but which also affects adults who often don't get the treatment they need.
