10:45 pm
i think stagecoach have incurred. i think this will annoy many people and this will play into the labour narrative that with private companies, profits can be privatised but losses tend to be gnashed aliza and it will be interesting how this plays out —— tend to be nationalised. especially after carillion. yes, you can see jeremy corbyn leaping on this this week, he has been pushing the agenda, he will be talking about far from virgin are being punished for this franchise not working out, it looks as though they will have their franchise extended or not one of the other lines around the uk —— extended on one of their other lines. there is a feeling that despite things that keep going wrong, these companies come back for more and tender win contracts and ta ke more and tender win contracts and take more money from the public purse —— tend to win contracts. it links into the issue of carillion
10:46 pm
outsourcing, and there's a big theme growing up around this comment jeremy corbyn is in the place to ta ke jeremy corbyn is in the place to take advantage. —— around this, and jeremy corbyn. europe and asia catch wall streetjournal, this jeremy corbyn. europe and asia catch wall street journal, this is jeremy corbyn. europe and asia catch wall streetjournal, this is about equity markets falling sharply, why is that, lucy? the dowjones equity markets falling sharply, why is that, lucy? the dow jones has taken his biggest hits since 2008 and this comes off the back of strong wage growth data which has raised the prospect of excel rated interest rate rises which will have an impact on borrowing —— accelerated. and so the question is whether this will force the us federal reserve and the european central bank to cut their crisis in iraq stimulus. —— crisis era stimulus. it feels like a pivotal moment, the cheap money is going and thatis
10:47 pm
moment, the cheap money is going and that is what is freaking the market is out. another one, i don't think we have seen the end of this, but i'iow we have seen the end of this, but now to brexit. we did not start with it, so maybe that was a novelty, time to make a choice on trade, barnier tells britain. this is michel barnier who had a meeting with both david davis and a brief meeting with theresa may. time to make a choice, surely no surprise but this is about the transition period and what we're going to have afterwards, uk is trying to ditch the old format of talks which took place last year where david davis would go over to brussels and then they would have a week of talks and thena they would have a week of talks and then a press conference in which michel barnier would say disparaging things about the british approach to brexit, so they are trying to change that, and instead they had michel barnier over to downing street and thena tiny barnier over to downing street and then a tiny press conference, but
10:48 pm
barnier still managed to say something disparaging. basically, he is trying to tell the british government that it is time to make a decision about whether they want to be inside or outside the single market and the customs union and theresa may can't tell him to mac the eu what that decision is yet because frankly her cabinet is not agreed on it —— can't tell him or the eu what the decision is yet. we are getting the pressure from brussels to make up our mind on what we are offering, there is also pressure from within the cabinet and on her backbenchers, and also the need for more clarity, but she can't. the only thing keeping her cabinet together is the vagueness thatis cabinet together is the vagueness that is allowing people on both sides to still think they have got something in the game and there is everything to play for but i think this'll everything to play for but i think this‘ll be a very difficult and period ahead. and nowjacob
10:49 pm
this‘ll be a very difficult and period ahead. and now jacob rees mogg is emerging as rebel in cheek, but we knew that already. could he'd bea but we knew that already. could he'd be a prime minister in waiting? —— could he be. he is emerging as a serious prime minister candidate, people are starting to say that he is one of the few people on the tory side around brexit who is saying what they think and it harks back to the leadership contest regarding labour and the leadership contest regarding labourandjeremy the leadership contest regarding labour and jeremy corbyn, where it did matter what he said, because he said what he thought, and jacob agrees mogg has got the same thing regarding the conservatives, so maybe people should not think of him asa maybe people should not think of him as a jokey character. people are
10:50 pm
starting to listen to him in terms of him saying just what he thinks and that is hitting home with the tory grassroots membership. he came oi'i tory grassroots membership. he came on top of a poll recently shown he was more popular than borisjohnson amongst tory members and so that was amongst tory members and so that was a movement that is building. he has launched an attack on theresa may and philip hammond? he's usually very polite so it is more shocking when he launches an attack, he says it doesn't look as though the prime minister is having much fun, but the prime minister's spokesperson has said that she enjoys herjob enormously, actually. he has also launched a campaign against philip hammond, the chancellor, who has been calling for a soft brexit. either like to inject more scepticism about jake agrees mogg's leadershipjust as scepticism about jake agrees mogg's leadership just as —— scepticism about jake agrees mogg's leadershipjust as —— i would like to inject more scepticism about jake agrees mogg's —— jacob
10:51 pm
to inject more scepticism about jake agrees mogg's ——jacob rees to inject more scepticism about jake agrees mogg's —— jacob rees mogg's leadership prospects, he has never held a cabinet position, and some of his conservative views would not be that palatable to the wider public, i would imagine, that palatable to the wider public, iwould imagine, like that palatable to the wider public, i would imagine, like his views on abortion. yes, that is true. and on the tory side the mps have got to vote you into the final two to face a vote of the membership and he would first have to gain enough support amongst the conservative parliamentary party and it is by no means clear he could do that. would he like to be leader? yes. definitely. and now to the telegraph, this is their spin on brexit, the eu could force steady seven new laws on the uk. —— 37 foot
10:52 pm
-- 37 seven new laws on the uk. —— 37 foot —— 37 new laws. including having four vince for recycling. this is a interesting story. there has been talk that financial transaction taxes and things which could damage the city of london and our economy but the thing they focus on here is the thing that affects everyone on the thing that affects everyone on the streets that is how it goes to the streets that is how it goes to the heart of what brexit is about, it is about the small infringements are not the big issues. —— and not the big issues for the el permit is whether we would have to accept —— the argument is whether we would have to accept these laws in the transition period. they are determined to make us take these new
10:53 pm
laws in the spirit, it is reported. —— in the report. laws in the spirit, it is reported. -- in the report. this goes to the heart of what the grenfell campaign was —— this goes to the heart of what the campaign was all about in terms of leave, so there will be an outcry if this is pushed. we have a good picture here, regarding the suffragettes, and the story is that they should be pardoned, were many womenjailed when they they should be pardoned, were many women jailed when they were fighting for the vote? tomorrow is the 100th anniversary of some women, not all women, getting the vote, and in that
10:54 pm
suffragette campaign around 1000 women were arrested and many were imprisoned. this is an interesting campaign andi imprisoned. this is an interesting campaign and i have written a book about emily davidson, the only suffragette to die, and many of them wa nted suffragette to die, and many of them wanted to get arrested because it would help the publicity of their cause. the first act of militancy was in 1905 when one of the pankhursts spat at a policeman to hopefully get imprisoned, and the idea of whitewashing that and asking for the record to be scrubbed is may be misguided. it was a key part of what they were trying to achieve to get publicity. that is interesting. have you written a book about this as well? i'm afraid not. laughter last year we had the so—called turing law in which gay men who had been prosecuted would be pardoned,
10:55 pm
and so eusebius as the government doing this —— and so you can see this as the government doing this to mark a big event like a centenary, but whether this is the right thing to do, and lucy makes a good case that those convictions were badges of honour and it allowed them to campaign and get the vote. and now the guardian. we have a picture of a very elated lauri love, the british student accused of hacking who has won his appeal against his extradition. i suppose the big question, what happens to him now? there is the possibility that the cps might appeal this decision, but they have 14 days to decide whether they have 14 days to decide whether they do that or not. even if they don't, he will likely or possibly be prosecuted in the uk for his crimes, as well. this sets a precedent for this to happen in the future, and
10:56 pm
you might see the us tried to extradite people who do these kind of crimes in the future, but there will always be this case now, the case law, where lawyers can draw upon this and say, this person should be tried for their crimes in the uk and not the us. it raises interesting questions about the us prison service and the fact he was going to be potentially put in solitary confinement with a 99 year sentence and i'm not clear if they are the right safeguarding aspects in the us prison service and so i'm not surprised there are civil liberty groups welcoming this decision. thanks forjoining us. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any
10:57 pm
evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer thank you joe watts and lucy fisher. goodbye. some of us will wake up to a covering of snow tomorrow, but not much. we are predicting 1—3 centimetres and more across the hills, the snow has been moving through northern ireland, not much, some of it will be passing scotland in the early hours, and then moving to the north—west of england and northern buyers, and it is stirring around the lake district, just about into northern parts of yorkshire. to the south of that it will be frosty in the course of the night and first thing tomorrow morning. this is the picture eight o'clock tuesday, behind it, strong winds and wintry
10:58 pm
showers, temperature around freezing, it is not a very large weather front, it is a widespread area of snow and it will be a bit hit and area of snow and it will be a bit hitand miss, but area of snow and it will be a bit hit and miss, but when the snow falls it will settle on cars and pavements and i think 1—2 centimetres so not much but enough to cause some delays and some problems across the north and the north—west and maybe parts of wales, and by the time you get to tuesday afternoon the weather front is forming and so that means not much snow falling at all. there is the chance that the snow could pick up again around lincolnshire and east anglia tomorrow evening and then tomorrow night it will be the cold est tomorrow night it will be the coldest night of the week, temperatures in rural areas down to _5’ temperatures in rural areas down to -5, -ii temperatures in rural areas down to —5, —11 possibly in scotland. so very cold wednesday morning, but plenty of sunshine around, there
10:59 pm
will be snow lying on the ground in some areas, it will be very hit and miss, some of us will have it and some will miss it completely, and there will be sunshine around. crisp and cold, initially at least, and end up what happens, the cloud and rain, it reaches northern ireland and much of scotland and around the irish say, wales and the south west. —— the irish sea. thursday, briefly we have south—westerly winds and it will turn milder with cloud and rain, friday it turns colder again. this is bbc news.
11:00 pm
the headlines at 11: the eu's chief negotiator warns the uk faces unavoidable trade barriers if it leaves the customs union after brexit. without a customs union outside the single market, barriers to trade and goods and services are unavoidable it's perfectly clear what we want to do and there is no doubt about it, as you said yourself, we are leaving the customs union and aiming for a good future for britain. a british man with asperger‘s syndrome, accused of hacking into computers at the fbi and nasa, has won his appeal against extradition to the united states. end of the line for stagecoach. the government cancels the contract of the company that operates the east coast mainline after it gets into financial difficulties.
