hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are stephen bush, special correspondent for the new statesman, and the deputy political editor at the sun, steve hawkes. welcome to you both. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the ft‘s leaders of volatility of world stock markets complete with a picture of frayed nerves on wall street. the guardian reports that tesco may face a £4 million bill for back pay in what could become the uk's largest ever equal pay claim. it also has an image of so—called cheddar man, dating back 10,000 yea rs. cheddar man, dating back 10,000 years. a planned cheddar man, dating back10,000 years. a planned reform of the gig economy could lead to millions of new work is getting better rights, according to the i newspaper. the top story in the metro is the jailing of a stalk of 26 years after he murdered his former partner. the mirror features a pledge from the

mother of brain—damaged alvi evans to never stop fighting to save his life. the daily express claims britain could be forced to accept new eu regulations after brexit. that's according to a new report. in the times has a picture of the falcon heavy rocket taking off in florida. a mixed bag of front—page stories. thank you both, stephen and steve, for being here. must begin with the ft, europe and asia bearing the brunt as stocks reel from volatilities. all day i have been hearing it as a correction and not a crash but wide range of repercussions for this. the dow jones index was up 567 points so this huge sell—off has already run its course. my view is that we are bound to see things like this because the stock market has been on such a boom, it's gone up 20 points so such a boom, it's gone up 20 points so that will always be a correction

if people get worried, is this note the peak, do we stop selling, and if someone the peak, do we stop selling, and if someone does, it highlights a me two things. an interesting paragraph anywhere when a trader says this is about the economy moving off life support. people think interest rates will go upa support. people think interest rates will go up a lot this year. in a way thatis will go up a lot this year. in a way that is a sign of good things because we are coming off life support from the credit crisis almost a decade ago and returning to normality. we should see it as a good thing that the economy is moving back into that normal cycle. would you agree, stephen? yes, they have predicted nine out of the five last recessions and we know for the last recessions and we know for the last decade central banks have created this parallel universe of big businesses. the economy appears to be recovering, still very low wage growth and a slight worry about what that means. the interesting question is, it looks as if the dow jones has recovered most of its

losses. i wouldn't be surprised if on friday europe and asia have recovered most of theirs as well. interesting. notice, we didn't start with brexit! but we need to go to it now. the eu six to limit uk's access if brexit terms are broken. we likely to get any more clarity on the direction we are going in? likely to get any more clarity on the direction we are going mm seems unlikely. according to this story the eu wants a transition period while it negotiates the trade deals are effectively we would still be members of the eu although without a say. the eu is worried that we will start to leave without having properly left. what kind of think the british government has spent too much time worrying about the transition. a bit like, if we we re the transition. a bit like, if we were a hermit crab, we would not sit there going, this shell is not good that shell is not god, we would put

ona that shell is not god, we would put on a shell and look for the next. the eu needs to stop fussing and think about what had once the uk to look like in 2030, 20 40. a long—term vision as opposed to this short—term one that we've got. long—term vision as opposed to this short-term one that we've got. is this not another example of the eu flexing its muscles? it's another well timed leak ahead of this subcommittee meeting of the cabinet tomorrow when hopefully they will spell out what kind of brexit they wa nt spell out what kind of brexit they want which is taken far too long, almost a year now, we still haven't set out what we want to achieve. i disagree ina set out what we want to achieve. i disagree in a way, the transition is important to the government because it helps them work out what they wa nt it helps them work out what they want to do, it gives them more time. viewers will be happy because we are into the endgame in a way so hopefully in the next month in brussels and london will flesh out where we are, there will be all manner of arguments, stories about who will do what still but i think we are getting there! the front page

of the daily express claims the eu is still trying to rule britain. this story was in the telegraph last night, new laws that may come into force, we may have to have full recycling bill steering this transition period. was it only yesterday, now confirmed? transition period. was it only yesterday, now confirmed ?m transition period. was it only yesterday, now confirmed? it was a leak obtained by the telegraph, saying the eu might do this, and now they said they would. except that we know that this is what transition looks like, the eu will continue to evolve and change and do what it once and after we leave will do what we wa nt once and after we leave will do what we want but they will be a period transition when we will still follow the rules. it's a bit like if you move out of a flat your flatmates can repaint the walls while you are still there and you don't get to vote on it because everyone knows that you are leaving and you won't be paying the rent animal. this is a product of the governments failure to sit down and explain what brexit

means to voters beyond saying, we can't talk to you about that, brexit means brexit, we haven't negotiated the end state. this stuff about the eu wanting to rule us is just not. there's the fear among hard—core tory brexiteers but they were told, the consequence of theresa may dithering as such, they were told, 2019, we will take back control. money, law and borders, no it will be 2021 because of this transition phase, we have to accept everything. they have no say over what puzzles does because we moving out. brexiteers are worried that brussels could force the laws that we need to acce pt could force the laws that we need to accept that might be to our disadvantage, will have no say in it. ireland pushing for border deal threatens to hit brexit talks, says this headline. steve? if we have

said we are coming out of the customs union it brings up the question of what will happen on the border between the north of ireland and the south. a massive issue, ireland squad we will say about it, they want reassurance that button won't have this hard border coming back. it keeps coming back, this argument. this will all hopefully be resolved soon and we can move on. you look at it and think, i went to the brexit negotiations last year and the civil servants, in a room could sort this out easily and all the politicians are all arguing they feel like this. any word to add on that, stephen, or would you like to move on to the suffragettes? ireland is the big unsolvable issue for brexit. if you diverge from the eu you'll have a hard border. if you don't what is the point of brexit? the sensible solution is that ireland does not leave. the whole ireland does not leave. the whole ireland does not leave. the whole ireland does not leave. sadly

theresa may has lost a majority and has to deal with the dup and they will never accept it. the only sensible solution is either, we don't leave order hard border. —— either we don't leave or we have a ha rd either we don't leave or we have a hard border. theresa may has been asked to consider posthumously pardoning those suffragettes who committed crimes in pursuit of the vote. i wonder if this is right. perhaps the suffragettes wanted to get arrested to draw attention to their cause. they may not want to be pardoned. i will plug my magazine and said there was a great these by caroline creator and said there was a great these by caroline creat or peres about this. -- is caroline creat or peres about this. --isa caroline creat or peres about this. —— is a great piece in our magazine. she says the government was wrong to imprison them. the government did do something wrong. maybe a formal apology but this idea that you pardon somebody. i think if i was descended from a suffragette i would

be quite proud to be descended from someone be quite proud to be descended from someone who had been imprisoned for breaking an unjust law. i think a pardon is quite the wrong course of action. it's one of those things that happening now, like with alan turing, people asked if he would get a medal, would he be pardoned. what was great today and what we should focus on more is the enjoyment of that centenary celebration and how far have moved. 0ne that centenary celebration and how far have moved. one line in the speech by theresa may was the line about moving on and talking about online abuse. nowhere near that historic battle but another big battle we have to win. katie price was in the commons today talking about the violence directed at her son harvey. abuse suffered by a lot of female mps on twitter for example. let's move on to the i newspaper. it's a policy from the

government, surprise surprise that could do some good. matthew taylor was sent to look at the gig economy. you don't really have sick pay and holiday day with these firms, it's a massive review of what can be done to help people in that gig economy. the government may look at getting these guys sick pay and holiday pay and the chance to ask for a normal contract which make them than with a higher minimum wage. great news for the 5 million people in that. i wonder if the sting in the tail will be how the treasury treats them tax rise. last year philip hammond talked about raising national insurance for self—employed workers. that might be the sting in the tail. stephen, does this link with the story on the front page of the guardian, tesco may face a £4 billion bill of equal pay claim, would that be the biggest of equal

pay claim in the country? the largest clawing back of money that should have been paid. it turns out, thanks to this law firms that tesco has been paying more to men who have been working in its warehouse than women in the same jobs and more to men who have been working on tills. people who work in tesco's are not self—employed, they have a contractual relationship with tesco. it's part of the same pattern of big firms are effectively saying, now you work for us, the rights you had ina you work for us, the rights you had in a small you work for us, the rights you had ina small sum, you work for us, the rights you had in a small sum, you don't get those any more. interesting. steve? tuscan needs this like a hole in the head, the ex—directors are going through the ex—directors are going through the courts of the profit warning from a couple of years back and now business isn't food in the best of light today what with the carillion story and tesco on the front of a national paper being told that they pay women £3 an hour less, that's not good for them. this striking picture. we don't have much time. cheddar man, facial reconstruction of britain's oldest skeleton. how does he look. kind of how you would

expect! we know humanity began in africa. people arrived, fresh from the boat as my grandfather was, you intermarry and get a bit paler and it appears this is what has happened with cheddar man. each generation has become more accustomed to living here, doesn't have to worry so much about the sun, it's a reminder we are all from the same place originally. that's a wonderful way to end, we've run out of time. thank you both so much. 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 — 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk/ papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you stephen and steve. goodbye.

good evening. after the snow today many parts of the country and clearing skies tonight. a recipe from a cold night. temperatures already tumbling. we are likely to see not only a widespread frost but we have seen rain and sleet and snow today, a risk of ice, to take this into tomorrow morning. still snow tonight of east anglia and the south—east, maybe covering parts of norfolk and suffolk, a light dusting some showers producing the covering of snow to the far west of wales and cornwall, for most areas, temperatures below freezing could get down to —11 with snow is lying across the grampians of scotland, be prepared, some ice in the rush hour, still some flurries in the south—east, they will fade as will the showers in the west of england and wales, as the cloud increases, snow in the scottish highlands

turning to rain later, some sunshine in the south and east later but still a cold day. this is bbc news. i'm rebecca jones. the headlines at 11. the building of a new hospital in liverpool is delayed following the collapse of carillion, as former senior executives from the company face questions from mps. stock markets have experienced further volatility after dramatic moves in global share prices in the past 24 hours. the world's most powerful rocket has been launched tonight from kennedy space centre. experts say it could transform space exploration. and we have heard a lot today about

women getting the vote 100 years ago. but the fact that many working class men only got the vote then has not been mentioned. tonight we ask if
