remainers and leavers, the that remainers and leavers, the remainers have gone up substantially by 11 points. what you make of this story? could labour rebels be picked off to join the tories? i could not believe this for a second. i wonder what the strategy of these rebels is. assuming there is a framework agreement next autumn which i think isa agreement next autumn which i think is a strong possibility, what will they do? vote against it? there will be no deal! what is the game?” don't understand. apparently by going over the head ofjeremy corbyn, they could put hard brexiteers back in their box, they say. theresa may makes these decisions, but is she a hard
11:46 pm
brexiteer? she is not the only one. she is the prime minister. she is consta ntly she is the prime minister. she is constantly under pressure from this other lot. she should not be the only one making these decisions. other lot. she should not be the only one making these decisionsm there an appetite among labour backbenchers to get involved with the government? i would be very surprised. i think there is such a strong... i really admire the ii tories who did what they did last time with the vote, it could not have been easy for any of them. we know what is happening with them. there are labour mps. .. know what is happening with them. there are labour mps... like know what is happening with them. there are labour mps. .. like to? chuka umunna. there is one example. this has got to be bigger than a political party. what is going to happen and what is happening is so important! two it is very important.
11:47 pm
political allegiances could dissolve for the greater good. it would be great to have more voices, but you believe politically it is impossible? i think it is a political nonstarter. i am prepared to admit! political nonstarter. i am prepared to admit i am wrong. in terms of what we might see as you move into phase two, we are hearing about the canada plus plus plus deal. the story focusing on michel barnier. david davis, sorry, last week, watching him perform, he was half—asleep! watching him perform, he was half-asleep! he was tired. all of these studies he commissioned which he refuses to let us look at. we still have not seen 52 of them! he
11:48 pm
has released them but has kept information back for commercial sensitivity. he cannot do that! he has even said that actually they have not been done. he was talking about the impact on the economy. yeah. we need to know that! he has given that evidence to the exiting committee. but it is commercially sensitive. some of the work has not been done. he has said it but you will not agree on that. i think she is right to say that. we will stay with the guardian. the picture of rebekkah dykes. we don't know much about this story, but what do we have? this dear lady was working for

the department of international development in beirut and she was kidnapped and strangled. it would be inappropriate to speculate as to why she was killed and the circumstances of her death. a family spokesman saying we request the media take ca re saying we request the media take care with her privacy. the times. social media. the perils thereof. according to the times facebook has finally conceded that social media can harm health, and it proposes users improve their well—being i posting more updates and comments. how does this work? —— by posting. it is an addiction. it is an addiction. now it is out there you
11:50 pm
cannot put the genie back into the bottle at all. academic studies, especially for young people, it is extraordinary how they feel they are living if they are opposed...m extraordinary how they feel they are living if they are opposed... it is not real if there is no photograph. there is a whole thing going on where facebook says it recognises the problem but says go and do more of it! it understands nothing! talking about putting the genie back in the bottle. do you agree? there was a survey a few in the bottle. do you agree? there was a survey a few weeks ago, i cannot remember who did it, many young people said they would rather social media was never invented and could live happily without it. that isa could live happily without it. that is a pie in the sky. it is done. i understand that people look for admiration all of the time and it does not always come. they also
11:51 pm
contrast and compare their life styles contrast and compare their lifestyles with others, and others look better. what is happening is that they feel undermined by this. they are probably addicted to it is a pillar it is a form of addiction. some psychologists are worried that the core of each individual, the selfhood, if you like, is now distorted. the self is now dependent on what other people think of us. that is true for all of us to a point. we live in a society and depend on others. but when everything is tied to what others think of you, and they can be unkind and thoughtless and cruel, it is a horrible thing. and i get so much hate mail. the only way i survived it is by not looking. i am old enough not to do that. we will talk about pensions. two different angles on the story. the headline, middle—class pension crisis. what
11:52 pm
are they saying? the daily mail talks about middle classes while the financial times talks about millennials and the big economies. they are saying that even with the pensions, we are talking about increasing contributions. —— pensions, we are talking about increasing contributions. -- gig economy. nevertheless, there will be many people outside the remit will not be in a position to save enough for old age. i am afraid this is a truth and i don't know how to get around it. certainly, government reforms have made the situation better for those who are employed. but for those not employed, problems will continue. even here? this surprises me, for those earning more than 55,000, they would have to save 50%! those are figures plucked out of the air. the moral of the tale is
11:53 pm
we live in an ageing society with more and more demands made of the new generations, future generations, of taxpayers. people will be expected to save for old age for themselves. and it will be difficult. especially, as the financial times talks about, the changing role of employment, especially the gig economy. those poor people delivering food on b i cycles, poor people delivering food on bicycles, they get almost nothing. how do they save? how are they supposed to save? older people are really not thinking about how the young have to live. i saw someone saying they are having cappuccinos and eating avocados and not saving and eating avocados and not saving and this rubbish, you are earning £5 and this rubbish, you are earning £5 an hour! it is notjust a pension issue, it is broader. how can you save? most people in the gig economy
11:54 pm
like it because it gives them freedom. though some people will not safe enough for old age. food for thought. we will finish with the telegraph. just talk us through this one. saudis must stop starving yemen. it is interesting and important. because, you know, the tories, all governments, have been sucking up to saudi arabia for decades, the royals, everybody. i have not heard such a strong statement on yemen coming from a secretary of state. and on the front page of the telegraph! i think it is really important. the story in yemen, we know about syria and what is happening in places in iraq and so is happening in places in iraq and so on, most people know nothing about what is being done in yemen.
11:55 pm
and actually, reporters are being kept out as well. and it is the children! there is typhoid! there is, you know, cholera! all of these things happening, no water, absolute starvation, a policy of starvation. and this focuses on aid that should get through, but an accusation that saudis are preventing it. the new international development secretary replacing pretty —— priti patel, they are warning saudi arabia is blockading aid. i think the yemen civil war is horrific. perhaps not enough attention is paid to it. but it is tragically part of the saudi arabian, iranian, conflicts, the struggle for the control over the middle east. these poor people in yemen are in the middle of this
11:56 pm
horrendous conflict, it this is racking their lives. —— this is wrecking their lives. the aid depot across from saudi arabia had medicine and food just sitting there. the un elected saudi arabia on to the human rights committee. i cannot believe that happened! there isa cannot believe that happened! there is a lot more to talk about all of those stories, but that is it from us tonight. don't forget, all of the front pages are on line on the bbc news website. you can read a detailed review of the papers seven days a week. that is at bbc.co.uk/papers. and you can see us
