of year, poor of cloud at this time of year, poor visibility close to the coast. so to summarise our week ahead, all change on the weather story, a mild week, at times it will be mainly dry but often quite cloudy. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. the south african president, jacob zuma, has spoken of the enormous challenges facing the country and the governing anc as it chooses his successor. thousand of homes in tewkesbury, gloucesetershire, have been left without water for a second day following a burst water main. severn trent water says work to repair the broken pipe is proving "extremely difficult". police in canada say they're treating the deaths of the billionaire businessman barry sherman and his wife as suspicious. on meet the author of this week, my

guest is nick half away, hughes new author is set where everybody is under surveillance, it's meant to tease your mind and make you wonder what the future's really going to be like. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are benedicte paviot — uk correspondent at the french broadcaster france 24. and the defence editor of the evening standard, robert fox. welcome to you both. tomorrow's front pages... the observer leads on brexit, and warnings from backbench tory mps that they will vote against the government in parliament if the prime minister tries to bully them into supporting an extreme version of leaving the eu. the sunday telegraph features a column from theresa may, who says she has proved her critics wrong by achieving the first stage of the brexit deal. borisjohnson calls

for the prime minister to strike a brexit trade deal that gives britain the power to ditch eu laws. that's in an interview in the sunday times. theresa may also writes in the sunday express, saying she will not be "derailed" from her duty to deliver the public‘s decision to leave the eu. the mail on sunday says left—wing trolls sent abuse to the pregnant wife of a tory mp after he heckled jeremy corbyn over his age. so, let's begin... let's start with the sunday telegraph. benedicte, theresa may, i've proved doubters wrong. that might seem to some observers like a bit of a rough week, but she doesn't seem to see it that we stipulate she has had a rough week. of course she now is after that turbulent six months, says the telegraph, she is

really showing that she is confident and that she is claiming victory over the doubters, not just and that she is claiming victory over the doubters, notjust the doubters in her own party, and in parliament, but actually i think she's very much referring also to other eu leaders in a sense, not in the sunday telegraph, but she's convinced them, persuaded them almost, charmed them all beat them down, because they've been talking britain down, certainly quite a few brexiteers are not happy at some of the things that have been happening in parliament. yes, she's had a tough week and are very much so, tough week and are very much so, tough six months, certainly since the general election, but she is really talking tough and defiant and indicating that she is moving forward , indicating that she is moving forward, and this is ahead of the french were, because we know it is the first time in the coming days the first time in the coming days the government will actually sit down and talk about the way forward and the terms of what brexit deal

should actually be. yes, the cabinet actually getting briefed, the full cabinet for the first time, which is extraordinary. the prime minister is a battler, you have to say that.” thought benedicte was about to is a strong and stable! you know, —— was about to say strong and stable. she's back to form, she is winning, because we're going to go through the papers, they are all on manoeuvres, they are all in the mix. boris, philip hammond, not michael gove, i may say, jacob rees—mogg, who has come up with a hysterical one—liner for those of a less than but more sceptical persuasion —— less than passionate but more sceptical. she knows what's happening, but what's interesting is the brief alignment of those two stars, philip hammond borisjohnson,

about the approach to a trade deal. yes, they are going to talk about the trade deal. butjust think how long it to add to establish the canadian trade deal. this is immensely complex. if you apply to bea immensely complex. if you apply to be a new member, not that anybody is going to do that in the short—term, but in the balkans we may find somebody popping up like kosovo or whatever to join, somebody popping up like kosovo or whatever tojoin, the somebody popping up like kosovo or whatever to join, the document somebody popping up like kosovo or whatever tojoin, the document for joining is huge. it's millions and millions of words. and equally, and doing it is going to prove very, very difficult. i think that's what we're to hear about. sorry to break the turkey early, and mix my metaphors, this brexit thing is going to go on and on and on. it's going to go on and on and on. it's going to go on and on and on. it's going to be irrelevant, as —— relentless. in the sunday telegraph, referring to the cabinet, how to

unite the cabinet on brexit remains the biggest obstacle. isn't it amazing that at this point this hasn't already been done's there is actually another problem looming, it would seem, in the coming days. i'm not even referring to the amendment that will be won were defeated, we're not sure which, but it looks like now a possible win with some flexibility on the exit date. but actually, as the sunday telegraph also points out, there is the considerable looming challenges, including the one about the fate of damian green. it would seem that there would be a second inquiry. of course, this is her trusty, ally, deputy, friend. what i would personally say that i have found profoundly shopping over the last couple of weeks, bob quick, former police officers, top officers, who make personal breaches of confidentiality is very worrying in this democracy. we are going backwards a bit and we must press

pause. the sunday express headline on the stories, i won't be derailed, she says. as robert was saying, it goes on and on and on. but there's a lot more steel than one might have imagined. there's lots ofjuice in the argument, we will find as we go oi'i. the argument, we will find as we go on. let's go to the observer. they have a different line about this. this is from the house of lords, conservatives there, call off the brexit bullies or face—to—face. robert, have a go at that one —— face defeat. it's like the famous monty python sketch of wuthering heights. because we're getting messages left all over the place, all of these papers, and i really wa nt all of these papers, and i really want to let sheep or enigma to decode it for us, what the hell is going on's the observer story is based on a piece for them written by

two tory peers. one a former editor of the sunday telegraph. talk about building a castle on what is barely sticks and straws. it's very, very interesting. what patients with craft and ross altman are threatening in this is that if you mess around with people who stick up for a role of parliament in all of this, then we're going to vote against again and again and again. that means tory peers as well. just to draw it in, you were getting on to draw it in, you were getting on to the point, what is really going on is the people have spoken, as nigel farage would say. his line. but it's the role of parliament. and i think, you but it's the role of parliament. and ithink, you know, if you but it's the role of parliament. and i think, you know, if you go back to magna carta, and i really mean that, the central run of parliament in the british constitution, this argument and debate was bound to come up,

because the one thing you didn't get in the referendum where the terms of leaving europe or the terms on which used the end europe. i think this is going to be the argument and the debate. i think this is the splitter for both major parties. i think you can split both. right, ok, benedicte, just go through that story, anything else about that that appeals to you? we've gone back to damian green and then we went back to magna carta, can we come back up—to—date? to magna carta, can we come back up-to-date? to quote the observer, andindeed up-to-date? to quote the observer, and indeed ross altman and patients wait, what they very much pointing out, what they called the resulting appalling insults from brexiteers, calls for expulsion from the party, even death threats, what they call worrying symptoms of the toxic atmosphere which has been created in oui’ atmosphere which has been created in our country. i think that is of deep concern. to have a diversion of opinion is obviously totally

understandable and encouraged. but what is not acceptable is doing courage people to insults, threaten oi’ courage people to insults, threaten or encourage other people to insults. and some of these mps, it is nojoke, have received death threats, or their partners, their wives, their husbands have received death threats. seen from continental europe, this is actually quite shocking, i have to say to. let's leave brexit behind for the moment and go to another story. there are other stories, thank goodness! benedicte, perhaps you could start us on benedicte, perhaps you could start us on this. on the front of the sunday times, i hiked student loans now slashed them. this is lord willits, who came up with the idea of university jewish willits, who came up with the idea of universityjewish and fees at £9,000. the trouble is, it is the interest that is charged on them, and he says that is too high. -- tuition fees. he oversaw tuition

fees, universities kept on hiking the fees. it made it a huge industry. he is now saying that it should be slashed for the greater good of preserving a viable graduate repayment system that is politically acceptable. the extra 3% on the interest rate should be dropped. that's funny, i have consistently seen that's funny, i have consistently seenin that's funny, i have consistently seen in the bbc paper reviews the riaz reviewers saying this very thing. perhaps they are classed cottoning on. it's so much easier when you are not in government to have these thoughts! this is part of the conservatives trying to appeal to young people who might have drifted off. you're absolutely right. every study of the last general election shows there is an absolute split in this country to the above 25—year—olds on the below. you are quite right, it's trying to make student loans cheaper, student loans killed off any government

pretensions of the lib dems, and they know it. this is actually, we are in the sunny uplands, we are just coming into something that is going to be very important in the next general election campaign. they wa nt next general election campaign. they wantjewish and —— they want tuition these to be cut to £3000. they are saying, let's turn off the tap a bit. this is very much a christmas time thing. amazon are in trouble. they are facing christmas parcels inquiry. robert, are you waiting for parcels? one did goa are you waiting for parcels? one did go a wall for four days. it was a straightforward report. amazon offer a service, to which i subscribe, called premium. for reviews, i do

wa nt called premium. for reviews, i do want to be able to say, i will get that book in my hands or whatever the following day. that is what amazon prime promises. it is a premium account. i think it is about £9. we've got a lovely story for parcels going round the world and being delivered late and so on. but i don't think anything can damage the fair name of amazon at all. fairlane, possibly. benedicte, do you think that? i'm being sarcastic! no company is beyond criticism and beyond the bridge. i think if you promise that, you are in trouble. we had a story a few days ago about the fa ct of had a story a few days ago about the fact of how little the drivers are paid and how they are expected to peak ina paid and how they are expected to peak in a bottle and all kinds of things. big companies like this need to be very careful, whether it is uber or amazon or google. clearly amazon have got a problem. i would

imagine that being a savvy company and seeing they are on the front of the sunday telegraph, they will be trying to put the smile back on the customers. i don't subscribe to amazon prime. or even premium! let's go to an important story. there are two big stories we have got to get to. the first one is, the royal wedding looms. benedicte, on the front page of the express, royal wedding fever. extraordinary. hotels, don't even think about it. hotel room is £620? we only learnt yesterday afternoon, the exact date, saturday, made the 19th at saint georges chapel, the big royal wedding, harry and meghan. it seems that hotels in winter already feeling the meghan effect.
