and in fine british that is it. and in fine british fashion, not canadian or norwegian. english trade, no question about it! they said you have to ask us for permission to address how we want you to dress. i am flaying this metaphor to dress. you have flogged it, it is flogged. we are currently in the trash talk of negotiations, where there is very little detail. the germans have their own quit ready first they say it is the latest episode of the cake and eat it sitcom. at the same point we are oi'i it sitcom. at the same point we are on this merry—go—round where philip hammond says it takes two to tango, and also wants angela merkel to signal what she is willing to give. the eu are saying can you tell us what you want, and they say tell us what you want, and they say tell us what you want to give first. the deadline of march is the net have to get this all sorted out so they will have to add flesh to these bones very soon. have to add flesh to these bones very soon. but it is scary that

angela merkel has made it clear that we cannot be shopping in savile row, you are going to top shop. that is what she is saying, and as long as she maintains that, being the most powerful woman out of the 27, we are in trouble. she is the most powerful and she is not, we don't even have a —— she doesn't even have a government. we are reviewing the british papers, quite rightly, but if we were reviewing the european papers, the story would not be in any of them. their interest, involvement, passion for brexit is absolutely rock bottom. most of these countries have their own significant problems, and are quite happy to let the politicians get on with it, and there is public interest. they have their own fish to fry. the whole of the 27 would say they have one overriding constituency, or one overriding interest, maintaining the european union as an entity in the first place. and getting themselves re—elected, as all politicians want at the end of the day. if they give

britain too good a deal, then the other member states... they can do that too. interesting this one, greening, telegraph, blocked situation the cuts. justine greening's departure from cabinet seem greening's departure from cabinet seem to be the does —— the surprise of the reshuffle. nick timothy, her former chief of staff has come along with a page in the telegraph to explain why. in short, she wasn't radical enough. the prime minister he believes did want to do real hard stuff on tuition fees, instead it was this namby— pamby stuff on tuition fees, instead it was this namby—pamby cuts, diet basically, not proper conservative thinking. so he is very commentary about her replacement, a chap called damian hinds. already touted as a potential prime minister. i checked oi'i potential prime minister. i checked on various betting websites before i came on. as you do, but what about this issue? (i) did you put a bet

on? it is a very complicated move. people did think this was someone, a lesbian cabinet minister, very much a moderniser... lesbian cabinet minister, very much a moderniser. .. the face of modern britain in some regards. but i heard an interview that was done with an educationalist or somebody who knew the sector very well, saying what justin greening actually did as education secretary was stopped a lot of things, and that excess. grammar schools, continuing sets tests, and it would seem, some might argue, this as well. then in fact one of her accomplishments. things are one of her accomplishments. things a re really one of her accomplishments. things are really radical elements within conservative thinking as to where education should be getting.|i conservative thinking as to where education should be getting. i think they were the element she found a mental disagree with. i am sorry she has gone. i think nick timothy had

an awful lot to do with the fact. he says he didn't. and you believe him? also says he doesn't want to get back into politics, he is desperate to, either elected or unelected. lots of rumours he has been on the phone to theresa may advising who to get rid of and who not to. he has been furious since jo johnson, boris's brother, the other one sacked in education, and justin greening cut the kibosh on the prime minister's, elements of the speech at party conference, he wrote a very damning article in the sun about justin greening, totally pooh—poohing her social mobility policies. 50 there is no love lost, no great surprise he's rubbing his hands with glee now she has been got rid of. and out of paton. a -- now up rid of. and out of paton. a -- now up to the iyer. theresa may's long—term vision,

trying to show she has other things to think about other than brexit. very ambitious, the five the bag charge extended the small retailers. she would talk passionately about the deluge of plastic on our beaches and said she could even expand the tax to things like coffee cups and all sorts to try to get plastic free aisles in the supermarkets one day. in 25 years' time, somebody may may she be still power then? that there isa she be still power then? that there is a wider thing at play here. part of the rain that of the tories. it is something they are reimbursing again. maybe this will have a better job of reinvigorating the government than the reshuffle did. another ten great designers, the people who decide what stories they are promoting at any one time, will be absolutely delighted with tomorrow's papers. they got their story on the front page of at least three. they are setting the agenda, exactly what

they want. she was on andrew marr at they want. she was on andrew marr at the weekend, the prime minister, saying this is her big push, all to do with younger voters. the tory party and the labour party now has this dramatic difference in age group and demographic and this is what it is all about. she will not pursue the vote on fox hunting, very unpopular with younger voters, she is doing £50 million for this northern forest, which michael gove has been talking about planting 50 million trees between manchester and bradford. these policies will take an awful long time. there won't be any obvious results for a long time but it is all to do with demographics. trees instead of a rail line. onto the mirror. daisy, hospital departments heaving with patients who have been in a&e 13 hours, this testimony from one doctor, i think. hours, this testimony from one doctor, ithink. but hours, this testimony from one doctor, i think. but the service that gives so much to all of a

sudden i've is on force of goodwill alone. don't forget us, defend us please. a very powerful front page, of course it is the daily mirror, obviously a very strong story. we saw obviously a very strong story. we saneremy corbyn going on the nhs for obvious reasons at prime minister's questions. people are very worried about nhs in crisis will stop the only thing i would say is that, like you have clarified, i have covered nhs stories for a very long time. you can always get somebody to save the nhs is in crisis. i am somebody to save the nhs is in crisis. lam not somebody to save the nhs is in crisis. i am not saying it is not in crisis, we have operations being cancelled, people not getting treatment, but the nhs is almost unique, in that if you want hospital director or a surgeon, if you ask them the question is it in crisis or not, they will always say yes, because it gives them negotiating influence, and there will always be a need for more money for so we have

a need for more money for so we have a growing, ageing population and it is slightly like the boy who cried wolf, because this is a crisis. i am sure it is a crisis. but we have been here 70 times before with prime minister is being put on the rack. the problem is with the nhs it is a lwa ys the problem is with the nhs it is always a political football and you can't get the politicians to sit down and be grown up about it because they know how money votes there are in it. absolutely, which is why you have the daily mirror, a left—wing paper, pushing this, very important, and frankly acer, this is their achilles' heel. it is something thatjeremy their achilles' heel. it is something that jeremy hunt feels the pain ina something that jeremy hunt feels the pain in a sense because he did say the mps that the nhs would need significantly more funding over the next ten years. he is wanting a solution. both sides can match for ten years' time. a lot of people dress it up with talk of the royal commission, which nick timothy at one point back. our old friend! some

people say it is a way of hitting it into the long grass. but both sides can honour and direct and deliver. in theory. the guardian, spend now to rescue nhs, hunt is urged. i want to rescue nhs, hunt is urged. i want to go because we have done that to the metro. wine stain attacked —— wine harvey weinstein attacked and restau ra nt. wine harvey weinstein attacked and restaurant. not far from the clinic where he is getting counsel for sex addiction. i am sure he is attacked most days when he ventures out of his six clinic. this is a chap who admits to the m2, the hollywood journalist agency committee asked for a selfie, who was told no, and then he went and slapped him. i

suspect this guy just wanted to then he went and slapped him. i suspect this guyjust wanted to get himself some publicity, so i am afraid i am pooh—poohing this story. very briefly, i am with you on that, someone's finger bitten off with a wild boar. you're be careful in the forest of dean, there are feral wild boars. that is why they are called wild boars. they have only been there since the 19905. they were hunted into extinction hundreds of years ago. and then some were released accidentally from a farm in the 19905, and have been breeding like wild boars. rampaging wild boars stop we had a rampaging wild camera there, it just boars stop we had a rampaging wild camera there, itju5t went all over the place and stop you camera there, itjust went all over the place and stop you are still with us and we are still with you. thank you. thank you for watching.

you can see all of the front pages online. if you missed the programme any time, grabbed the horlicks if it is late at night and watch it on iplayer. you will see daisy and asa of course, and me. sorry about that. goodbye. fault will be a real issues in some parts of the british isles and on into thursday, not like it was like that throughout the day on wednesday. some areas so a good deal of sunshine. before it got absolutely dark cloud and fog were thickening up across parts of the midlands. that will be part of the problem. anywhere there is a decent speu problem. anywhere there is a decent spell of sunshine through the course of wednesday is the area likely to see some of the worst of the fog as

we get into the early hours and indeed not just the we get into the early hours and indeed notjust the early hours. the fog becomes a good deal more extensive in the wee small hours and then just extensive in the wee small hours and thenjust in time extensive in the wee small hours and then just in time for the commute, wouldn't you know it, anywhere from the western side, wales, central southern england, towards the south—west, in places the fog will be dense and it will linger notjust for the rush—hour on through the warning as well. not quite the end of the story. just to add into that mix of thursday morning weather, we have two add into the equation some frost as well. fairly clear skies. it is less of an issue as become further south. if you are very prone, even further south, further south. if you are very prone, even furthersouth, most further south. if you are very prone, even further south, most of the ten just above freezing. towards the ten just above freezing. towards the east, in the southern north sea, throwing in the frontal system

towards lincolnshire, into the south—east. so here there will be some fog drifting in from the north sea. it will give quite extensive hill fog across cases like the children's. on through the day, out through the west, there is a chance of seeing some brightness, but again the return of some fog and frost as we start the new day on friday. still pretty leaden skies across central and eastern parts of the british isles. here again maybe the odd spot of rain. late in the day, a new set of weather fronts coming from the atlantic, the breeze freshens up as well. but i am afraid that weather front makes very slow progress a cross that weather front makes very slow progress across the british isles. this is bbc news, i'm clive myrie. the headlines at 11:00pm: at least 15 people have been killed by mudslides and flash—floods in southern california. uk manufacturing output has been growing at its fastest rate
