11:31 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are the evening standard columnist, rosamund urwin, and the telegraph's women's editor, claire cohen. very good of you to be here at this time of year. we at grateful. tomorrow's front pages: the observer reports that children from poorfamilies are more likely to need emergency treatment for conditions like asthma and diabetes compared to their wealthier counterparts. the sunday times says that theresa may will abandon a manifesto pledge to overturn the ban on foxhunting in the new year. the mail on sunday details how the british army is spending millions of pounds of taxpayers‘ money to scrap its ‘be the best‘ motto, because of fears it's elitist. britain's christmas food and drink exports are at all time high according to the sunday express, with brexit a main catalyst the paper says. staying with brexit, the sunday telegraph reports how borisjohnson and michael gove have criticised hmrc for placing large tax bills on individuals who donated to the leave campaign.
11:32 pm
amanda is in charge tonight. nine stories for you. we will be quick. she always does this, she is very, very keen. a gap between the rich and poor, spending more time in a and poor, spending more time in a and e. this is a study by a trust which is found that children from poorfamilies are which is found that children from poor families are more likely to appear at a&e than their counterparts. asthma and diabetes are the two mentioned in the observer. it isn't telling. it is a story about child poverty, really. asthma, parents will likely to
11:33 pm
smoke, more air pollution and diabetes also related to diet. we are used to have reports about life expectancy affected by where you live but this is about children. the gap is there even in childhood. there is a link to another page, a dog by saying that he sees ricketts, something we hoped we no longer saw. it is usually to do with diet, lack of vitamin d de or calcium and that is worrying if children are getting a disease that a diet could prevent. and spending time outside. that tends to be more in adults. but this is normally about diets but also not being outside also stop you seeing
11:34 pm
illnesses in children that frankly should not be seen in one of the richest countries in the world. there are been a resurgence as in other victorian diseases. scarlet fever, an epidemic recently of whooping cough. it seems like we are going backwards. one of the things they flag is that experts are saying that cuts to school nursing is a problem. nurses at schools might seek things early on. so it could be treated far faster if diagnosed earlier. they also mentioned austerity being an issue. the deputy pm ‘s allies plotted to discredit me, damian green was sacked this week and this is katie boulter be ——
11:35 pm
kate maltby. and media onslaught to discredit her. some evidence handed to the enquiry and, obviously, concluded this week with damian green no longer being deputy prime minister. it was a sacking but it was called the resignation. it was one of those. she obviously was very badly treated by certain newspapers. it was a very vicious some of the things written about her and the allegations. it would make women think twice about speaking up. allegations. it would make women think twice about speaking upm was very brave of her to speak up and it took real gumption and she said she did that the spat other women come forward as well and even any suggestion of a smear against at any suggestion of a smear against at a time when we are in the midst of the sexual harassment scandal in westminster and further is really
11:36 pm
unhelpful. the sunday times, theresa may ditches hunting the back animal rights. this is a change of attack. there was scant to be an overturning and now it seems to have disappeared. it is the end of year we brand. a brand and possible reshuffle. she is seeking to perpetrate the conservatives as a caring party, the end of the nasty party and they suggest it might be a move to try and attract younger voters. which, of course, is something labour did very successfully. downing street is also in the night, no vote that could change the policy schedule in the session of parliament. that is interesting that it clear is something the tories are worried
11:37 pm
about. we saw earlier this year a story that ended up not really being true. what it was, mentioned down in this piece, is that essentially there was an issue with whether animals were sent in and it looks like the eu legislation would be repealed and not replace. they are obviously concerned that for the tory brand, it looks rather toxic. they were surprised by how much weight was given to that story and how angry people were about it. let's move on to the financial pages to the mail on sunday the top 40,000,000-dollar to the mail on sunday the top a0,000,000—dollar incentive. for toys " r" a0,000,000—dollar incentive. for toys "r" us bosses. there are hundreds of staff in some of the uk
11:38 pm
stores who are likely to be out of a job. i should not think of this story will win them many fans. they have agreed to a last—minute deal with creditors to save the business but it looks like a third may still lose theirjob in this country. as this report, toys "r" us will hand out $40 million to 17 us bosses which is incredible, really, that they could be lining their pockets ata time they could be lining their pockets at a time when the business is in such trouble in this country. the pension fund said there is a big deficit and you need to put 9 million in it and they have come to an arrangement that money will be put in but over a number of years. the bankruptcy protection was filed earlier this year. they essentially
11:39 pm
have to be approved in court and the strange bit of it is that actually it is... they are saying that is not entirely up to us and the court has had a say in it. when you have a situation where people at christmas, worried they will lose theirjob, all these stores are going to close and at the same time having a visit. .. and at the same time having a visit... is because of the different jurisdictions? that is happening in the state. i not quite sure about that but i think it is to do with the way it american bankruptcy detection works. this would not happen here if those decisions would have panned over in the same way but we still have pay—outs when people lose theirjobs to bosses. ministers, this is a follow—up from a story that the telegraph broke yesterday regarding inheritance tax
11:40 pm
demands which is how donations from private individuals to the referendum campaigns are being regarded by hmrc and now they getting a big bill. if you are individual, an entrepreneur, the story says, you donate to a political campaign all party did not pay tax on it seems that is not going to be the case for the eu referendum on a number of individuals being slapped with tax on the back of that. they're using a slightly obscure inheritance tax lot to do that thing of diminishing their estate by contributing to referendum campaigns. michael gove thinks this is a terrible thing to happen to these plucky individuals. to be fair, the rout remainer donors as well. there is one remain donor mentioned here so it is notjust
11:41 pm
happening to the leave camp but it is fairto happening to the leave camp but it is fair to say, a lot of people that bankrolled the leave campaign were wealthy individuals are supposed to businesses and organisations. the express , businesses and organisations. the express, page two, us general, prepare for war with russia. this is general robert mellor who has the quote of the night. yes, we allowed to say that? a big fight. the us and russia against a wall. it is quite an extraordinary story, really. he told this to us marines as he visited them fall christmas at a base in norway any says that. the
11:42 pm
counterpart in russia, particularly over cyber warfare and maybe taking the cables that run across the atla ntic the cables that run across the atlantic which could cut off millions and millions of businesses. it is interesting. these are fighting words. he went on to say that an informational fight and political fight echoing what boris was saying about the uk is willing and able to respond to cyber attacks. fighting talks on two fronts. an interesting question about what warfare would look like in the future. it will not be people fighting... cutting table... economic warfare. the immediate one is that cyber warfare by other things could happen at that we
11:43 pm
cannot envisage which will mean troupe not fighting. subterfuge. it could look very different, world war three. the mail on sunday, surrender— the army is giving up its bid the best motto. we are told it is deemed noninclusive and elitist so is deemed noninclusive and elitist so the army's top brass is dishing this motto because it is not attracting the right people to the army. saying it is frightening off recruits. the army doesn't need to attract more diverse people but, at attract more diverse people but, at a time when it is in crisis and needs to save £20 million, to be spending millions changing the
11:44 pm
letterhead is not seem viable. we did the same a few years ago with oui’ did the same a few years ago with our logo. it is extraordinary how much these things cost. one wonders, who does it end up with? cannot imagine it is people deemed the most deserving of courses. it is at a time when the army faces such enormous cuts as well in all sorts of ways. it does seem like not the wa ke to of ways. it does seem like not the wake to be spending cash. superstar today on the sunday express. 40 million hit the sales early. terrible. an enormous shopping date shock. an estimated £1.67 billion... how do they work that out? i actually have not done all my christmas shopping. you will have a
11:45 pm
busy day tomorrow. the great thing is that the majority of the money was spent on high street, not online. actual physical shops. aren't you too late to buy online? oh, not for sale shops. aren't you too late to buy online? oh, not forsale is shops. aren't you too late to buy online? oh, not for sale is not for christmas presents. and at the beginning of the market was down 10% and everyone was worried so it actually brilliant news the high street. you can spend it twice, you need to spend it today or after christmas but you may get some bargains. take your sharp elbows with you. let's finish
