wthese w these weather fronts at bay. keep these weather fronts at bay. this is quite a change of type. we haven't seen much high pressure over the past few weeks. it does mean after a mild start to the week, it'll gradually turn a little colder, but with the high building on it should become dry in most areas. goodbye. hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. brendan cox, the husband of the murdered mpjo cox, resigns from two organisations set up in her memory after claims of sexual misconduct in the past. the education secretary says there should be more variation in the cost of university courses, ahead of a review of funding in england. ministers reject pleas to issue a medical cannabis licence to a six—year—old boy whose rare form of epilepsy improves after taking the drug. and ‘three billboards outside ebbing, missouri' is the biggest success of the bafta taking a total five awards including best film, best supporting actor and best leading actress. gary oldman won best actor for his portrayal of winston churchill in the film ‘the darkest hour.

thank you, sir winston. thank you, sirwinston. i thank you, sir winston. i thank you, the churchill family and of course once again bafta, i'm so grateful for this incredible honour. thank you. on meet the author, my guest is the bestselling thriller writer mick heron. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the former conservative adviser, giles kenningham and torcuil crichton, political editor

at the daily record. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the financial times is leading with a story about donald trump lashing out at the fbi and his national security advisors over the russia investigation. a pensions boost for millions — the daily express says pensions experts are hailing a "perfect cocktail" of conditions that have boosted many company schemes. the ‘i' focusses on the new review of university tuition fees saying the reforms will be divisive. power dressing at the baftas — the telegraph pictures british actress florence pugh whojoined other celebrities dressing in all black at tonight's bafta awards. the metro also leads on tuition fees with a quote from the prime minister saying "uni fees unfair and poor value." the mirror shows a picture of keira ball, who died in a car crash, whose heart helped save the life of a ten—year—old boy. the guardian also focusses

on tuition fees saying that proposals to reduce charges for cheaper courses is deemed ‘unworkable‘ by critics. iam speaking i am speaking a bit slowly it's because i can hear myself coming back and its most discombobulated. hgppy back and its most discombobulated. happy if you could do something about that, that would be marvellous... vi is where we will begin. tuition fees, ifeel like marvellous... vi is where we will begin. tuition fees, i feel like we have been pre—empting this for days, maybe i have just have been pre—empting this for days, maybe i havejust been have been pre—empting this for days, maybe i have just been a work quite a lot. tuition fee reforms would be divisive. it is not days or days, it's just the government learning how to manage news. in the old days before brexit the government would make an announcement on sunday, when the speech on monday and we would be talking about it till tuesday. since brexit, we have talked about nothing except brexit will stop the most

stunning thing on this story is that theissue stunning thing on this story is that the issue has been around enough since as long as university fees came in, it's that it's a domestic story running on a domestic agenda on the front pages of monday morning news. theresa may looks like she will make a market intervention here. she looks like she will force universities to reduce fees for some people and significantly she will also start looking at bringing back maintenance grants for poorer stu d e nts maintenance grants for poorer students which is a key point. she has been saying it's making our system of the most expensive in the world for tuition, that labour would go further, they would get rid of jewish and fees altogether. they would but they have not been able to cost it at all. -- they would get rid of tuition fees altogether. there are some sensible things in here. a bigger push towards two year

degrees with a stint in business. i did a fouryear degrees with a stint in business. i did a four year degree and could have done other than too. i did politics, sadly. i did a diploma in nine months afterwards which i could have done in three months easily. quite a lot of sense of kindness. you pay according to market values, a good sentiment but how do you measure that will be a lot more difficult in practice. you have already had justine greening today criticising that. the tories are floundering when it comes to young people and middle—aged people, corbyn is meant to be boosted in the 20 17th election with the youth quake but it did not really happen. but the under 25 and 45 state. people are looking for the parties to provide solutions. massive student debt everyone is carrying around. i have to say i was the last

year which did not pay tuition fees and ifi year which did not pay tuition fees and if i was going to uni now i would think twice about doing it. fees are the one end of the horse, it's about access. why won't they just put the money into getting more kids from working class areas into uni in the first place. the former universities minister says this is irreleva nt universities minister says this is irrelevant because you don't stop paying upfront, you only pay after the fact once you have earned a certain amount of money. it will deter people because it is an eye watering amount of money when you are 18, racking up £20,000 in debt. 27 justin fees. then living are 18, racking up £20,000 in debt. 27justin fees. then living costs... lichaj something like 6% so you could be paying something like £5,000 in interest on your debt. by the time you leave uni. thousands more by the time you have paid it off. they took about a big push

towards vocational courses which i think is great. university does not suit everyone. hopefully these vocational courses will equip people with skills which mean they can get jobs quite quickly. we are talking about english universities, a different thing in scotland. tuition fees don't exist in scotland, that doesn't mean accesses any better. scotland's medical schools take fewer kids from working—class backgrounds than england and wales medical schools. something is wrong with the system, it's not to do with these, it's about getting kids from working class areas into university in the first place and that's the other end of the horse, that early intervention in primary school. hammond to drop all props for budget light. we are not going to get all of the usual accoutrements we're used to seeing. hammond here, not the most charismatic or eye—catching of charts this, ditching the red box

for his so—called mini budget. he has ditched the two budgets every year. apparent pain this year, the so—called mini budget will be 15 to 20 minutes. there has been this longer held view that you should only have one budget a year. we are the only country with an advanced economy that has this. it is gordon brown's fault. used to be the autumn statement in december, then another rabbit out of a hat in march at budget time. the surprise and thing is its philip hammond delivering the budget. he seems in such disarray around the cabinet table that he was in danger if few weeks ago of not being. at the time of brexit when you need to convey a climate of certainty, give a vision for the country, maybe there should be a longer budgets are people actually understand the economic road map. clearly they are going for short but sweet. people underestimate the

importance of symbolism and the power of totems like that, that red box, it means something. introduced in 1860 by william gladstone. not just no red box but no official document or spending increases or tax changes. we will take the day off. speculation anyway. we will just have more time to fill. let's look at the daily express. pensions boost for millions, relief as deficits in final salary schemes halved in a month. how has that happens, it's been causing lots of concern on the sheer scale of deficits? causing concern in some places, not in my house. because you don't have one, is that the case?|j fail to see how this is news that affects us the days. —— that affects us today. the pensions deficit has gone from

something like hundred and 40 billion hundred and 50 billion. good news for millions of employees who are approaching retirement. that may be an apt description of daily express readers, but ijust don't see how this is a large story. and the stock market is quite volatile. the problem is, when pension schemes failand the problem is, when pension schemes fail and there is not the money to bail them out. we have seen out with big companies recently with that £900 million deficit. this will be pleasing to some people in particular, ros altmann who we are used to seeing on paper review, she has been talking about this for a long time. confidence breeds confidence. from that perspective it's a good thing to see.|j confidence. from that perspective it's a good thing to see. i am in that section of the daily express readership that switches off when i see the word pension, i don't even have to think about a pension, so. we have not done very well with that

story. where shall we move to? let's go to the telegraph. the baftas. we have a picture here of florence pugh, british actress, power dressing and the baftas with at times bring on herfinger. one of many who turned up dressed in black in support of notjust the time is up in support of notjust the time is up campaign against sexual harassment but the me too campaign as well which we have seen all over social media. you were the odd one out if you didn't wear black tonight. it feels like this campaign is getting a lot of momentum, it still has some way to go. at the golden globes last month you had nicole kidman and meryl streep who came out and were pretty vocal on this issue. obviously this whole issue continues to rumble in the press in many different sectors. it feels like it's a story which has some way to run. it does keep it in

the public eye when you have this public display of solidarity and unity, at an awards ceremony. these only have at certain times of the year, it requires that cultural change, day in day out, notjust amongst those who are on screen, on stage, but those in the industry behind it. it is symbolic. the message is getting through loud and clear, time's up, that campaign wa nts to clear, time's up, that campaign wants to change the culture that is around that. as sherborne said earlier talking to you, the decisions that are taken far earlier in the storyboard when people sit down to discuss character, narrative and who will be in the movie, that's when, who's going to direct movies even, on who will buy them, that is when we will see real change. —— or who will write them. the cultural bias is what's so

difficult to change, and you can't legislate for. the story is three billboards, five baftas, big british success because it's a channel 4 film. even though, to look at it, it is totally american. completely american. but there is channel 4 money in that, it has taken 100 million, it will take a lot more now. another feather in the cap for channel 4. something like 32 oscars since they started making movies? i don't think they have reception on the way in, that will feed into that. a lot of the films we have not had a chance to see yet have all picked up awards, that will really boost box office. gary oldman has won for darkest hour. and the ship of water as well. let's finish with hidden calories fuelling obesity, the average person eating too much. how is it, portion control? the

obesity crisis is being fuelled by the average person eating 50% more calories than they realise. they put this down to two things, won his portion control and second is people eating more meals outside their home. a good old statistic. what's happened is that the office for national statistics asked people to estimate how many calories they were eating over a certain number of days. many estimated they were eating 2000, in fact there were eating 2000, in fact there were eating well over 3000. —— men estimated they were eating 2000. basically the story is that men are kidding themselves. you kid yourselves. men are worse than women on this. we kid ourselves we are eating far less than actually are. you have a sugar tax coming in, long—awaited, in april. which the government estimates will get the treasury 520 million which will then
