over and turn that little bit less cold. here is a summary for the week, pretty cold, widespread frost at night and some snow as well. good evening to you. you're watching bbc news. we will be looking at the papers ina bbc news. we will be looking at the papers in a moment but first a look at the headlines. the home secretary insist that rests within the cabinet have been exaggerated and says the uk will continue to seek a bespoke deal with the eu. at least two people have been killed and more than 100 injured in a rail crash in the us state of south carolina. south africa's president jacob zuma is being urged to step down as leader of the anc. 0n meet the author of this week, my guest has a
10:31 pm
book that is a creepy thriller that turns into a contemporary horror story. welcome to our look ahead. many of the front pages are already in, we have been looking through, the metro uses have been looking through, the metro uses a musketeer analogy to describe the comments of amber rudd on cabinet relations. theresa may is appeasing tory brexiteers by scrapping plans to remain in the customs union, meanwhile the times says a cabinet compromise on the customs union is on the cards. then
10:32 pm
a top bank of england official warns against post—brexit banking regulations. the guardian has an exclusive on a secret fraternity of freemasons which is continuing to operate in westminster. lloyds is becoming the first bank to bank customers from using credit cards to buy bitcoin. and the express says it is time to wrap up warm, describing the forthcoming cold spell as a scandinavian freeze. 0n the same story, the mirror says temperatures are going to plummet to minus 1a. that is a little flavour. no real consensus on what the main story will be, let us see what has appealed to i guess this evening. you will kick us off with the eye. brexit, what is the latest development. theresa may is trying to soothe the
10:33 pm
hardliners. this is the head of the biggest summit. the cabinet are planning to sit down and have a discussion about what will happen, what the deal will look like. i don't think i would wa nt to look like. i don't think i would want to be referee. there is a lot of argy—bargy. want to be referee. there is a lot of argy-bargy. you are getting these conflicting opinions and information coming through. the idea that boris johnson, michael gove and jacob
10:34 pm
rees—mogg are going... i wish i could. he is the chancellor apparently. are going to take us to apparently. are going to take us to a fantastic new place. what is interesting is this battle is continuing and i thought amber rudd was really good, she seemed solid unsure of herself and she said these guys unsure of herself and she said these guys are unsure of herself and she said these guys are not going to wreck the cohesion in our cabinet but then you read on and theresa may is allowing herself to be rattled, again and she is making these pre—emptive statements, not looking at the evidence that is now building up to phil god knows how many big containers, but this has been locked out of the customs union, that would not be a good idea. the tory party has been at this since ted heath,
10:35 pm
they will never reconciled. it is like the church of england and gay marriage, i think they will have to split. there are families who did not reconcile after brexit. these are people who are supposed to be governing us. you are looking at the times. secret plan to end tory turmoil. for the first time, it sounds as though there is a plan. essentially, there is a move towards a compromise, which could be struck by asking the brexiteers to sign up toa by asking the brexiteers to sign up to a time—limited extension to elements of the existing customs union and what they are essentially saying is they are trying to put a wedge between those individuals. let us wedge between those individuals. let us test them. whatever they do, they are not going to be able to settle this one. as soon as something seems
10:36 pm
to be vaguely agreed, these cowboys go off and do their own thing. these are the people who are governing us and that is why, i don't know when it will settle but i don't think there is going to be an agreement on this. if there is, they have to negotiate on this. the eu might not agree. there are so many fronts, there are the divisions in the tory party and then michel barnier arrives and divisions arrived with him and he has his own 27 coming end. we have got a government and theresa may seems to be losing her nerve and i think this is quite worrying. she goes with the forceful males who are riding this thing. i
10:37 pm
hope the times is the more accurate reflection. i still want to believe there is a plan somewhere, i am sure it is buried under a lot of paper but i want to believe there is a plan somewhere. take is to the guardian, because there is a group of people who might know what the planners, this is about secret freemasons lodge is for and journalists. it is an exclusive. one new, i have known about this funny thing called the freemasons and how they do funny walks. but, this is about mps and journalist and i am quite shocked. we are in the 21st century and there are these circles within circles, propping each other up. underneath on the front page of the guardian, there is a story about
10:38 pm
votes for women, 100 years on from that act and above that, there is a story about an old gentleman ‘s club. it explains why men have been much more privilege. i once by mistake stepped into their headquarters not knowing, because i was lost, oh my god, you should have seen their reactions, it was like an alien had stepped in! it is interesting, we do think, we look at freemasons and we think about silly rolled up trousers and mysterious handshakes, it is almost slightly comical and yet this story is quite serious. yes, david staples, the chief executive of the united grand lodge of england, that might have been where you wandered into, he says being a freemason helps those members in roles serving society and that they have good acts that are
10:39 pm
done, too made a lot of money and the more positive side is put forward. why do they need to do this? i give money to charity, i do not need to be a dark circle to do that. women don't. it is quite odd. the mystery around it, something that freemasons believe, that is pa rt that freemasons believe, that is part of the good thing but to many others, it does us the most harm. recently we heard a suggestion that a lot of police chiefs were in this. i always suspected that there was a judge is logged in here, because they are so similar. here is a picture, of when we got the vote and we are still living with these gentlemen 's clubs. onto a totally different thing, the daily telegraph, at the bottom, records numbers die of malnutrition in the
10:40 pm
nhs, whatare numbers die of malnutrition in the nhs, what are they talking about? there is a story here that says that record numbers are dying of malnutrition in nhs hospitals and statistics show that 351 patients in england and wales had malnutrition listed on the death certificates, as the underlying cause or contribute a factor in 2016. it is a shame we have only got the front page, because they do not know how malnutrition is judged because they do not know how malnutrition isjudged because part of the story suggest that there are many elderly people who are living alone who go into hospital and they have not been looking after themselves at home and they are already malnourished and actually there is a challenge for hospitals in what they do. i don't know when there are end of life care and some people just do not have food for example, whether they are listed as
10:41 pm
malnourished. i have a severely me ntally malnourished. i have a severely mentally ill sister in hospital and she is not eating and the food was there when you went and it was quite nice. i could not make it, the nurses do not have the time to stand there for an hour to persuade her. some of it has to do, what do you do when a patient just says some of it has to do, what do you do when a patientjust says no. mental health can be a huge factor. and as you say, time is a big factor. the suggestion that if the nurses had more time, they would spend it on coaxing people. today my sister did not want to eat a single sperm, i'd tried and tried and my husband tried, you cannot force her to eat —— she did not want to eat a single thing. and shoulder times. this is deep mined —— and the financial times. this was their artificial
10:42 pm
intelligence efforts and they started to divert some very clever people and i was suspicious, it sounded a bit scary. this story is one of the first i have seen. it is essentially crunching data from thousands of retinal scans and they are working with london moorfields eye hospital, one of the best in the world and what they are able to do, the computers are effectively able to pick out algorithms which are identifying the early signs of eye disease which they are claiming humans would not have managed to pick up. they are starting to work out the similarities, picking up the rhythms, different conditions and what the early stages might be. it isa what the early stages might be. it is a massive breakthrough and it is
10:43 pm
still in the early stages, where they start to send it all off. we have all been talking about al and thinking it is sinister but it could make a good difference. all this thing with robots and the deep technology which i do not even begin to understand. it could be fantastic. when you think about glaucoma and diabetes and the huge impact they could have, this sort of thing could make a difference to people's eyes. finish as off, if the weather does not. the killerfreezes coming. it is going to be cold but i keep thinking, we have an unprecedented number of homeless people now living in doorways and so oi'i people now living in doorways and so on and up to a point, i think they can survive some temperatures, but i wonder how many of them will not survive unless councils make special provision for them or some of them just do not want to go indoors. we never know the number of homeless people who die overwinter, we know how many elderly people die, we need to count them. ok. pressure
