it's one. doomsday brexit. it's interesting because what we are seeing is banks in europe testing their own systems for what they would see as the worst case scenario brexit. the reason they're doing this is because we're getting closer and closer to the moment when all the stuff we've been talking about the stuff we've been talking about the last couple of years is actually going to be a reality. it's interesting that they are now having to put their systems reviews processes to see exactly how big the impact will be. of course, people supporting brexiteer have been saying for a long time that with all the doom and gloom, the wrong sort of brexit would be bad for europe as well and cost europe badly and therefore we would get a good deal in the end. this plays into the idea that banks are having to test their systems in this way. i read this and thought, wouldn't you hope and expect this is being done anyway? that is exactly what i would say and every memberof that is exactly what i would say and every member of the public would be thinking. i hope this is what the banks are doing regardless! we should be looking at any scenario, whether clashes imminent or for any

other reason. i think this is one of many stories b will see over the coming months in a similar vein. let's move to buy seed —— buzz feed. it has led the way in brexit analysis reports that ministers announced today would be released. the headline, leaked brexit analysis shows how cutting immigration will at the uk economy. it sounds like it has seen these reports. this is another line may have taken from the same report that the story broke from on monday. this angle is ruling on immigration and chimes with comments theresa may has said today in beijing, where she is on a trip to china for the next few days. now, what they are saying is that actually the cost of cutting the immigration to britain would...

donald trump has spoken about very positively recently. there would be a2% positively recently. there would be a 2% boost and they are saying the loss of migration would detract from that. yet to see the details because we have not actually seen it ourselves. we are just reading your version. it is interesting again because theresa may's policy is very much, after brexit, we will cut immigration. it is what people are voting for. this is our own senior officials in whitehall saying, 0k, it'll cost the country money and thatis it'll cost the country money and that is the opinion of the most senior experts in our government. it doesn't mean we shouldn't do it but they are saying, there is a financial hit to this and you need to bear that in mind if you pursue this course. it is a really important point. if people want to put immigration in front, that is their choice but they need to know

what the impact of that will be. they might still want to do it but if you want more facts in front of you, this is ultimately what this is about. david cameron and theresa may. only refused to move the tens of thousands target in previous manifestos. it is something they've always stuck to end it is something she is saying again. theresa may said today there is a difference between coming to great britain prior to march 29 and after that. there is an issue about classifying people coming to britain. some people coming to britain. some people will look at that and say, i don't care if gdp smaller would have been. ab inbev the country to take that it because i want this to happen. that's people's individual choice, i guess. happen. that's people's individual choice, iguess. but happen. that's people's individual choice, i guess. but you have to the fa cts choice, i guess. but you have to the facts to understand it. let's move to the daily telegraph. bbc women on the march in a story accompanied by a picture of high—profile women who turned out today to support the

bbc‘s former china editor carrie gracie, giving evidence to select committees. they can be rather dull, but this was anything but. this was very dramatic. almost five hours. carrie gracie gave evidence for 2.5 hours and it was very passionate and emotive. she was obviously talking about her own personal experience and she has really put her career on the line for it. she clocked about her grievance and her grievance procedure, and about how she had been told she was receiving a much lower salary. with someone with a 30 year career lower salary. with someone with a 30 yearcareer in lower salary. with someone with a 30 year career injohn lower salary. with someone with a 30 year career in john osman, lower salary. with someone with a 30 year career injohn osman, speaking mandarin chinese, that is an insult. —— injournalism. mandarin chinese, that is an insult. —— in journalism. you mandarin chinese, that is an insult. —— injournalism. you can see the likes of kate silverton, mariella frostrup and others in the picture. the bosses came after 2.5 hours for

another two hour roasting themselves. jack, you worked at the daily miller formally. —— themselves. jack, you worked at the daily millerformally. —— daily mirror formerly. what was that the situation like the? my experience in newspapers across—the—boa rd is situation like the? my experience in newspapers across—the—board is that it isa newspapers across—the—board is that it is a very male dominated industry. certainly at senior levels. and companies are going to be forced to publish equal pay information, as i understand it, later this year. it willjust be the bbc on the rack. lots of newspapers and businesses across the country have this issue and it is now starting to come to a head. the bbc has been pushed to publish this data before that but i am sure this is not the end of the story. also in the telegraph, news that the

commons have voted to move out of the commons. i think this is the first time that they have had to move out since the blitz. so it is quite a big. do you think they actually will move out? yes, it is a huge deal of you work there. we both have offices in the house of commons. with the mice. and asbestos. nonetheless, it is a privilege to work there in a fantastic old building. it is a palace and it is amazing. people who work here don't really want to work on some boring office block down the road. i suspect that the sum of the resista nce road. i suspect that the sum of the resistance some mps have shown to the idea. they like the idea of working in this grand old seat of power. as we say, like anyone who works there knows, the place is falling apart. you have visitors coming as well, tourists. people have previously said it was a risk like grenfell. have previously said it was a risk like gre nfell. wiring have previously said it was a risk like grenfell. wiring and everything else. there is a responsibility to

the building as well. they're going to move out until 2025. it takes seven to move out until 2025. it takes seve n yea rs to move out until 2025. it takes seven years to get to the point where we move out. at least had taken the decision today. compared with the options put in front of mps, this was the most immediate. the one put forward by the government last week was effectively, oh, let's make a decision in another however many yea rs' decision in another however many years' time. at least admit some decisions. it is a hard sell to taxpayers to spend millions of pounds on a refit of the office, essentially. if it fell down or burned down, no—one would be happy with that. there should be an a cce pta nce with that. there should be an acceptance that this is a building that needs to be looked at. let's move to a warning for all of us over 40. move to a warning for all of us over a0. stroke warning. it recognised people are having strokes. why is that? -- people are having strokes. why is that? —— a record number of people. these figures are coming from

england public— health today. these figures are coming from england public—health today. one of the factors is we are drinking more than we should be and we are not aware of the units. if you're drinking at home, you're not all was aware of what you're drinking. and obesity of course is another principal factor will stop we are all much fatter. younger people are much more aware of health. what they say now is that the stroke rates for younger people are much higher than they were before. and people aged ao- $69 into the will of the risks. one in six people have a stroke in their lifetime. it is against that. it is not happy reading. you get used to the idea we're getting healthier. you don't expect to read that this sort of preventable condition is hitting people younger and rubber. but it seems to be the case. “— and rubber. but it seems to be the case. —— younger and younger. and rubber. but it seems to be the

case. -- younger and younger. moving to the daily express, and actually, we touched on this when talking about buzzfeed earlier. at last, me gets tough on migrants. the question is whether she succeeds. she can talk about migrants all she wants but as we have seen so far in brexit negotiations, britain starts off with the proposition that the newspapers like the express like, and then in the end they have folded on the vast majority of things the eu want. the us is saying that people who moved here after leaving the eu during a transition period should have all the same rights as people are now. the government says, no, we do not agree. we will see where we end up after the next round of talks but from what we have seen so of talks but from what we have seen so far, the eu holds all the cards. businesses threatened to leave if we don't get the deal we need. the numbers have gone down in a last

couple of years, quite significantly. the picture on the daily express leads us to our final story in the metro. formula i scraps the great girls. —— the grid girls. is this a good thing? it is a sign of the times, i would suggest. as a society, we seem to be moving away from this. i would suggest that if girls... there's people losing their jobs and i don't think there is anything to celebrate in that. kelly brown, who started off as one of these girls, talked about how she managed to buy her own flat at age 20. she is a working—class girl from kent and that started off her career. kent and that started off her career. katie price would probably see a similarthing. career. katie price would probably see a similar thing. she started off glamour modelling. this seems pretty harmless. it was dark cellar in the week and in britain, we seem to be abandoning it. in holland, germany and belgium, they think we are soft

touch. harmless? i think it is outdated and the world has moved on. the important thing to remember is that the reaction from some of the newspapers is as if government is stepping in and banning this thing. that is not what has happened. these are commercial decisions made by formula i and the darts because they have seen that people don't want this any more. this is a business decision by them and the reasons people don't want it any more. some people don't want it any more. some people do, but it is a commercial decision and that is how they see it. thatjudgment decision and that is how they see it. that judgment reflects decision and that is how they see it. thatjudgment reflects where we are isa it. thatjudgment reflects where we are is a society now. time is up for the grid girls and us, i'm afraid. you can see the front pages of the newspapers online on the bbc 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. thank you to our guests. and thank

you for watching. goodbye. hello. we may be entering winter's final month, but we're far from finished with winter weather as we have seen in highland scotland today, with some heavy snow showers around. all parts have turned colder, and a mixture of clear spells and further wintry showers overnight. this batch spreading southwards as the night goes on through parts of england and wales, with perhaps a bit of snow into lower levels in places. these move through and things clear up, and elsewhere those showers continue as temperatures dip away. a problem with ice on untreated surfaces going into the morning. quite a wind tonight, temperatures would be lower if it wasn't for that. severe gales possible towards north—east scotland and the northern isles for a time. and further showers of rain, sleet, snow, hail peppering parts of northern and western coastal scotland as we start off the day tomorrow, into northern ireland, parts of wales, west midlands and down towards the south—west. but many places will start dry with some sunshine, a brisk, chilly north—westerly wind and temperatures just a few degrees above freezing. so, again, be aware

of the possibility of ice on untreated surfaces just about anywhere. now, on through the day, whilst many will continue to be dry with some sunshine, still a feed of showers in northern scotland and northern ireland, the west of wales, the west midlands into the south—west. a lot of these falling as rain, sleet, hail to lower levels, snow into the higher hills. there's a lot of sparkling sunshine away from the showers. the chilly wind making temperatures of four, five or six degrees feeling lower than that, perhaps below freezing across parts of northern scotland. now, the wind eases a little bit through thursday night and into friday morning, with fewer showers around. a widespread frost and the risk of icy patches, especially into parts of scotland as friday begins. friday, blustery showers, mostly of rain, towards the north sea coasts. elsewhere lot of dry and sunny weather. a pleasant winter's day on friday — though still, of course, on the cold side. temperatures aren't going to get any better over the weekend, and there's the complication.

the weather system coming in from the atlantic, a lot of uncertainty about the detail, particularly in the timing and how far east the rain is going to get after saturday. i'm saying rain, it's cold enough to see some sleet and snow out of this and the leading edge, particularly into parts of scotland and northern england, but perhaps notjust here, and that's something we're going to watch very closely. any rain, sleet and snow gradually petering out on sunday. brighter weather coming back to scotland and northern ireland, but wherever you are, it is going to be another cold day. this is bbc news, i'm rebecca jones. the headlines at 11:00pm: theresa may says she is not a quitter. speaking at the start of a three—day visit to china, the pm insists there is a long—term job to be done. this woman gave birth injail before her trial collapsed. police and prosecutors are criticised over a late disclosure of evidence. carrie gracie, who stood down as the bbc‘s china editor in protest about pay inequality, tells mps her case is an example of a bigger problem at the corporation.

and on newsnight: another day, another profit warning from a big outsourcing company. capita needs to turn things round. now, for decades, governments have loved contracting out different services. but a lot has gone wrong lately, so are we on the cusp of a huge change in direction?
