hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. the home secretary, amber rudd, insists that rifts within 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 reported to be standing firm as the leader of the anc during talks with top party officials. political limbo continues in germany, as angela merkel‘s party fails to form a coalition government. talks continue tomorrow. tobyjones and paul burkini star in caedmon journey‘s to make end. tobyjones and paul burkini star in caedmonjourney‘s to make end. here about that and the other top
11:31 pm
releases of this week in the film review. —— star in journey‘s end. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown and the political strategist jo tanner. let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages. the metro uses a musketeer analogy to describe amber rudd's comments on cabinet relations. theresa may is appeasing tory brexiteers by scrapping plans to remain in the customs union, according to the i. meanwhile the times says a cabinet compromise on the customs union, is on the cards. a top bank of england official warns against post—brexit, banking deregulation in the financial times. the guardian has an exclusive on a secret fraternity of freemasons which is continuing to operate in westminster. lloyds becoming the first bank
11:32 pm
to ban customers from using credit cards to buy bitcoin, is the telegraph's top story. the express says it's time to wrap up warm, describing the forthcoming cold spell as a "scandinavian freeze". and on the same story, the mirror says temperatures are going to plummet to minus 1a. that's the flavour of tomorrow's front pages — no real consensus on what the main story is, so let's see what's appealed to our guests this evening. i know you will kick us off with the eye and the woes of theresa may. she is there in china saying she is not a quitter and she is her own person. she is increasingly not. that does make me sad because she is a female prime minister and i think she needs
11:33 pm
to be much more gutsier. as soon as she returns here, something happens to her. according to this paper she is ruling out the customs union with europe. it is not up to us, exactly, because there is so much evidence. it is not up to the brexit supporters either, it is up to the evidence of what will be good for us and what the europeans will agree to. it seems to me that while she was away, the plotters were at it and gnashing us to confront them. was away, the plotters were at it and gnashing us to confront themm does claim to be an attempt to sue the hardliners and that is the balance she is trying to sort out. it is interesting because there is a suggestion that she is weak and she is not doing a good job. but angela merkel has yet to form a government and we're talking about the. we at least have a government. i know it
11:34 pm
may be dysfunctional time... are you sympathetic? i think it is interesting, what is happening in germany. angela merkel is quite a big figure but actually she is having a difficult time there. they are struggling. but this is within the party. the tory party. everytime you she needs to... people saying it will be a new margaret thatcher, these people are off within 30 seconds. is a personality or temperament? maybe. but there are so many theresa mays that i do not recognise which one... if you look at the times, when you read the secret plan to end tory turmoil on trade talks according to the times, they say she has a plan to divide
11:35 pm
and rule. there is a suggestion that she is starting to grab hold of this. can you talk us through this story in the times? it is about splitting up players causing her headaches. the suggestion is that the customs union is a huge area of concern for many politicians of all colours. the suggestion is that there is some kind of time limited extension to elements of the existing customs union that will be proposed. the briefing here in the times is that there is a belief that this will prove to be more attractive to michael gove than borisjohnson and attractive to michael gove than boris johnson and it will start to break up two of the so called musketeers. it is a poor plan. those to have been at it and hating each other, loving each other, hating it other. i do not trust them at all.
11:36 pm
it is interesting. the civil service does not normally get into this stuff. and lord o'donnell, who was the head of the civil service, he has deuce brexiteers of selling snake oil. the consequences matter. they need evidence. —— he has accused brexiteers of selling snake oil. they are not going to accept that we take this softly for a little while. they will not buy that. oh to be a fly on the wall for this two—day summit. that. oh to be a fly on the wall for this two-day summit. we have a cabinet meeting, michel barnier coming over, and the negotiations are getting hard—core. coming over, and the negotiations are getting hard-core. but who will barnier negotiate with? which side of the tory party will be speaking with the voice of the tory party, the government, the nation...m with the voice of the tory party, the government, the nation... it is high stake but they'd a briefing
11:37 pm
that this meeting will solve many disagreements. that is a high hope. and then there are 27 countries... yes, they do need to sign off on the deal on the other end. it is quite a long process. the guardian has a different lead. an exclusive about the murky world, as they may put it, of freemasons and the relationship with mps and journalists. yes. just as we celebrate the centenary of women getting the vote and a fabulous suffragette picture on the bottom, we have the unveiling of a men's club. freemason orders set up for journalists men's club. freemason orders set up forjournalists in men's club. freemason orders set up for journalists in parliament men's club. freemason orders set up forjournalists in parliament and mps. it recruits mps, peers and parliamentary staff and a gallery lodge that was established among the political press call. apparently
11:38 pm
they are both active. i don't know how many people are involved but the suggestion is that they have been going for some time. most people assume that this sort of stuff has died out. it is completely inappropriate. i have always objected to a lobby system. what sort of democracy has journalists privileged enough to be good friends of parliamentarians? that is something that i think should have changed a long time ago. when i first began writing for the independent they refused to join the lobby. in the end... it is powerful. there is no other way to access information. they had dinners with each other and then they pretend this great distance. now we find that for some of them they are bound with ritual and secrecy and all kinds of weird things. these reviews would be very dull as we did not get these snippets every now and then. we only get this detail because of
11:39 pm
the gossip. we should start a female freemason group. the lobby now have fantastic representation of women. of fantastic representation of women. of maybe the women don't want to be a part of this circle. maybe they don't want funny rituals and a secret handshake. the feeling is that the lack of transparency is definitely problematic. winnie gassman to go in undercover. we could get a tv series. —— were need yasmin to go in undercover. one of the smaller stories at the bottom here, the nhs and record numbers of dying of malnutrition. this story is kind of... there is half the story essentially on the front page and we don't know the full details of what the numbers allude to however 351 patients with malnutrition listed on
11:40 pm
the death certificate in 2016 which is rather frightening. it the death certificate in 2016 which is ratherfrightening. it sounds like quite a large number. looking at it, what we do not know is what that means. there is a suggestion in the story that people are already arriving in hospital with nutrition issues. my mother was in hospital last year for five months and she must have done that menu round and round on the loop. she lost nearly five stone while she was there. it isa five stone while she was there. it is a challenge for people to eat. and as families become more desperate unique visitors to come in and help encourage people to eat because nurses do not have the time. this suggests that more should be done to ensure vulnerable and elderly patients receive help. but who have time? there are a lot of young retired people, young in body and spirit, i am sure that would help if they set up a group. it does
11:41 pm
ta ke help if they set up a group. it does take time. i went to see my hospital —— sister in hospital today and she had not eaten nothing. i tried to get her to eat. i did not hang around for a long time because i couldn't. and then i went away feeling terrible. if i had stayed, maybe she would have eaten. she had just decided she would not eat. and in all fairness to the nhs, they have invested heavily in improving menus. 0n the whole it is not actually the food that is the issue, it is more about the patient and the experience in there. many elderly people decide that that is the way they can hasten the end. they make a conscious decision. an interesting thought there. stand now with health, men still dying of embarrassment in the daily mail. this is prostate cancer. an important story. the daily mail are adopting a campaign on this. essentially, they say that men are
11:42 pm
still dying of embarrassment and the idea is that they are to a barrass to visit a doctor with prostate cancer symptoms. there was a story la st cancer symptoms. there was a story last week was saying that prostate cancer has become a bigger killer 110w cancer has become a bigger killer now than breast cancer. this story of talks about people from the sector explaining that now there is half the funding and half the research that goes into this cancer and yet it is such a big killer. we have almost seen breast cancer take off with lots of events and themed months and that sort of thing but men have symptoms that can often be sensitive things they do not want to talk about. women will go down to the pub or be in a gym and talk about a the pub or be in a gym and talk abouta lump the pub or be in a gym and talk about a lump they found. someone will tell them what to do, men are not necessarily going to talk about
11:43 pm
some of the symptoms involving prostate cancer. i am pleased that the daily mail is doing this campaign because campaigning has been at a very. you see posters of famous men saying going get yourself checked out. actually, what has been great about the women, and maybe men should learn from this, is that they make these campaigns at exciting, interesting and shame free. it can be done. many young men need to start... yes. from the younger generation. we should do comparisons. the women got all the resources , comparisons. the women got all the resources, that kind of talk is happening a lot on twitter at the moment. we are all human. it is not a competition. the housewives favourite paper, the daily mail, this is about talking to women and telling them they need to remind the men in theirlife telling them they need to remind the men in their life but this is something going on. you need to go to the toilet three times in the
11:44 pm
la st to the toilet three times in the last couple of days, are you sure something is right? this is where women will play a major part of. and yasmin, the daily express talking about a killer phrase lasting ten days. scary weather on the way. we will be inconvenienced.” days. scary weather on the way. we will be inconvenienced. i think there are so many people who will be at risk now. the homeless, who we see all around london and there has been a phenomenal increase in manchester and in edinburgh and all sorts of cities. i don't know how many of them will die. just simply die of the cold. you can not survive these temperatures all—night. then there is also, as said earlier poor families cannot afford to heat their homes. they could not even hit the kettle too many times to fill a hot water bottle. young asthmatic children... i think we should really
11:45 pm
be collating information on those who are not getting adequate heating. i must say, as a parent of the younger child, i must say that sometimes, however, these cold snaps can be helpful because they can kill off many bugs, many viruses and things that appear in mild weather. 0ne things that appear in mild weather. one of my sons classes this week had six or seven children of. it is a prime virus time of year. i'm about to go to norway next week so it least i have the codes for it. there we are. will —— whether you end —— like it or not we end with the cold weather. remember you can see it all seven days a week on the bbc website. if you missed the programme you can watch that
