for quite a long time the fence for quite a long time because it is in nobody ‘s interest that the city. art. it's a huge tax generatorfor that the city. art. it's a huge tax generator for the that the city. art. it's a huge tax generatorfor the uk that the city. art. it's a huge tax generator for the uk and we don't wa nt to generator for the uk and we don't want to have any financial instability, either in the uk or in the eu as a result of the inevitable, what will happen when we leave. this is a way to try and, i'm going to say slightly fudge it, so we agree on principles. but we might differ on how to achieve those aims. it's a lot of fudging. it's a very public a dead. let's look at the i, another brexit story. —— it's a very complicated. inevitably there will have to be sharing of information, intelligence. surely that is in everyone's interest. of course. this isa everyone's interest. of course. this is a story you can read however you wa nt is a story you can read however you want depending on where you stand on the backs debate, you could see this as may saying, if you don't give us
10:46 pm
as may saying, if you don't give us a deal, lives will be at risk. it's almost like she is saying, this is what is at stake, you must bend to oui’ what is at stake, you must bend to our way of thinking. but underlying the story, the security chiefs from the story, the security chiefs from the uk germany and france came together today, not politicians, security pointy heads, who said a rare and unprecedented warning that said listen, politicians, you will do what you will do, we have to keep working together. this is super important for all of us. it's good to see they are at least trying to figure out how to make this work. it's the language the prime minister is using in this speech tomorrow, she talks about ideology and the eu should not be ideological opposed to having a security arrangement with a non—eu member state which they don't have at the moment and times of anything remotely as close as britain enjoys at the moment as part of the eu. that will get quite a few
10:47 pm
backs up because all in brussels will say, hang on, surely an ideology is coming from london in terms of wanting to leave the single market and customs union. for the prime minister to accuse the eu of behaving ideological rather than pragmatically is quite punchy. and then theresa may mustjust point to then theresa may mustjust point to the us. we have always had a close relationship of intelligence sharing with america. we have close relationships with australia, with the us, lots of countries. there are certain legal mechanisms within the eu over arrest warrants a kind of thing. they are contingent on being pa rt thing. they are contingent on being part of the eu. we must either replace or adjust that legal framework so that carries on working. it's not impossible but it's the kind of nitty—gritty legal stuff and security stuff that must get done. let's look at the mail. kobin the collaborator in quotation
10:48 pm
marks. labour leader denies claim by checks by he was paid to pass information to the soviets. —— corbyn the collaborator. at the height of the cold war he was formerly in contact with this spy. this was initially broken by the son a couple of days ago, was at yesterday? news that moves so fast these days. i think it was yesterday. they had unearthed these documents in the czech republic, dating back to the cold war. which showed that, or indicated, that the cheque secret police attempted to make contact with jeremy corbyn who at that time was a labour backbencher. to maybe see if he would be interested in being some kind of asset for them. as you say, have two stress jeremy corbyn has completely said this is untrue, it's
10:49 pm
a ridiculous samir, entirely false. however the agent in question who jeremy corbyn met has come out and he knew exactly what he was doing, he knew exactly what he was doing, he knew i was a spy, and i know he has questions to answer. quite a good line from jeremy corbyn's office today basically saying this has more holes in it many bad bond movie. the quote in the paper here is, his aides described the latest claims as a ridiculous samir and entirely. all sorts of other allegations during the run—up to the last allegation were made about jeremy corbyn's connections to militant groups, the ira, has balaam. it did not affect his popularity. his ideological opponents through the book, then another book, then they went to the library and got more books. alleging
10:50 pm
links to the ira. links to hamas, god knows what. it did not work, it did not affect his popularity. god knows what. it did not work, it did not affect his popularitym increased his popularity i think among young voters. the cold war is ancient history to anyone who is under30. ancient history to anyone who is under 30. they have not lived through the troubles. absolutely, it has zero cut through. unless there isa has zero cut through. unless there is a smoking gun, some incontrovertible evidence, then i don't see this going anywhere. even then i'm not sure it would move the dial. the times, no more money for oxfam. the charity not able to bid for government funds until it gets its house in order. if you can think ofa its house in order. if you can think of a more depressing story than this over the past few days then you are doing better than i am. a strong week for depressing stories but this is right up there. the government
10:51 pm
gave oxfam over £30 million is right up there. the government gave 0xfam over £30 million last year, it's been a regular donor, presumably one of its biggest donors. it has for obvious reasons given the allegations made against certain individuals employed by oxfam, said you will not get more money now. 0xfam is bending over backwards to say we are terribly sorry about what happened and we will do whatever it takes to sort this out. nonetheless the government has reasonably said that's fine, but for now, we will not move forward with any more funding. 0ne for now, we will not move forward with any more funding. one of the things that sticks out in this story, echoed in the story in the guardian, is that the chief executive of the charity, mark goldring, making some comments i think my to haunt him about the nature of the allegations made against his former staff, saying critics are gunning for the charity. it's not as if anyone now babies in their cots. that might live with
10:52 pm
him. -- their cots. that might live with him. —— it's not as if anyone murdered babies in their cots. he has either had bad advice or ignored the advice given to him by his pr. talk about pouring petrol on flames, those type of comments. they will come back to haunt him. let's move on to the telegraph. student fees could be cut and review of university funding. also interest rates, that student loans have to be paid back at, to be looked at as well. the conservatives trying to manoeuvre into position, into an area that did well forjeremy corbyn naseer, bearing in mind he did not win. you are right. -- did well for jeremy corbyn last year. there will bea jeremy corbyn last year. there will be a review of higher education funding. at the moment, tuition fees are £9,250 a year. every year, the
10:53 pm
university tries to charge as much as they can. in a general election, labour say they will get rid of tuition fees completely. that obviously went down well with young voters, this is the conservatives attempt to address those concerns. i think unless you are going to match that commitments, you are still going to look meaner than labour. the suggestion is they would be reduced from £9,250 to £6,000 a year, but that is still £6,000 more than labourare year, but that is still £6,000 more than labour are saying. even if you will reduce interest rates on student loans again, i don't think that will... it's on every that the tories would be wise not to stray into unless they can come up with something that matches labour's offer. —— it's an area the tories. what ever they will come up with will look mean in comparison to what labour are suggesting. grants might be looked at again as well? they are
10:54 pm
obviously looking at the big package of measures. we were talking about how young people these days don't remember the troubles in ireland or the cold war. 0ur generation, we have no idea, these kids are leaving university with just a massive amounts of debt, interest rates that balloon on them. it's terrifying. certainly i didn't leave university with anything like that sort of weight on my shoulders. now, i had £100 overdraft and even that raised eyebrows in the cox all household. dad, if you are watching, you remember the conversation just as i do. finally, the guardian. this is dom parsons, if you had never heard of him, you will know him now. he has a bronze in the skeleton. the scariest of scary olympic games. has a bronze in the skeleton. the scariest of scary olympic gamesm is pretty scary, you lie on a thing and barrel down a hill really fast with a helmet on. it sounds like
10:55 pm
this was... he was always going to be in contention for this but sounds like the chap who was just in front of him made a mess of his last run and hey presto, the brits finally have a medal in the winter olympics. would you give it a try?|j have a medal in the winter olympics. would you give it a try? i certainly would not. a sledge, on a very not steep slope is more my speed. going down an essentially a tea tray, it's remarkable. we could try it on your way out. the first or headfirst. either way, congratulations to dom parsons. robert who is the voice in my ear tonight was very loyal to stay up and watch all of that happen. very impressive. 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 dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to my guests.
