10:30 pm
nothing to write home about. later in the day, dragging this further north into a cooling atmosphere, overnight through into monday, wales, the north midlands, northern ireland, then increasingly up towards the northern hills of england, the southern uplands of scotla nd england, the southern uplands of scotland and through the central belt through easter monday, we could see significant snow. several centimetres across higher ground, but even to lower levels don't be surprised if you start to see the total is building up. further south, not an issue, but further north they disrupt the risk of snow. —— a disruptive risk of snow. by tuesday, that weather front is in the northern half of the british isles, low pressure very much the dominant factor. there will be quite a breeze from the south and south—west, doing wonders for the temperatures, still
10:31 pm
a lot of rain for northern ireland, western scotland, three degrees across the northern isles, temperatures nothing to write home about, but further south people will say 14 or 15. not a great deal of change on wednesday, new weather fronts being ushered in on the south—westerly breezes, keeping it mild, but wet at times. if you are still on holiday, that is disappointing, but later in the day a mix of sunny spells and showers. save up for the western side of scotland, still the old weather front stuck close by, and even when that creeps up towards the northern isles, it just makes that creeps up towards the northern isles, itjust makes room for another one to come in, and as we pushed to the higher ground of scotland, further significant snowfall here, and that is a lot of wet weather to be had across those western parts of england and wales. so towards next weekend, often wet, snow on the northern hills, and it will be on the cool side again because we are on the cool side of the jet stream. that warmth is there to be had, if it would only move
10:32 pm
further north and west, then we would be in clover. but that is a moist flow, and we have got real concerns already, never mind all that rain that i have described, about the state of some of the rivers. this was one of our weather watchers, and it would be the usual suspects, the high ground of cumbria, flooding problems as we get on through the week. this is bbc news — our latest headlines. two men — believed to have been members of the islamic state cell known as "the beatles" — complain they can't have a fair trial because the government has stripped them of their british citizenship the senior labour party official, embroiled in an anti—semitism row, has stepped down from the party's ruling body. christine shawcroft will be replaced by eddie izzard. russia has more than doubled the number of british diplomats it plans to expel, because of the blame being placed on moscow over the salisbury nerve agent attack.
10:33 pm
a private funeral service has taken place in cambridge for stephen hawking. the astronomer royal, lord rees and actor eddie redmayne gave readings at the service on meet the author i will talk to the actor and writer, sir anthony sher, whose new book charts his preparations for playing one of shakespeare's greatest preparations for playing one of sha kespeare‘s greatest roles, preparations for playing one of shakespeare's greatest roles, king lear. shakespeare's greatest roles, king lear. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me john rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent and the broadcaster, john stapleton. thank you forjoining us. over the
10:34 pm
easter weekend. over the easter weekend. let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages, starting with the sunday times — who lead with an investigation on supporters of the labour leader, describing it is as ‘corbyn‘s hate factory.‘ the observer says that leading jewish donors are ditching labour over the on—going anti—semitism row. the mail on sunday says that mr corbyn faces a revolt from mo's over allegations he failed to take action against a ‘wife beating' mp. the sunday mirror says that the prime minister has announced a fund to cover the cost of children's funerals. and calls for election watchdogs to resign over what it calls a ‘brexit bias‘ leads the sunday telegraph. we will start with the sunday times and over the past weekjeremy corbyn has been making the headlines and
10:35 pm
the headlines also on sunday morning. the hate factory... you we re morning. the hate factory... you were waiting for this weren't you? which one? john one and john two. do you want to start us off. this is... imean you want to start us off. this is... i mean there are several stories connected to the anti—semitism row in the labour party in the papers tomorrow. jeremy corbyn‘s hate factory is the sunday times headline. a little bit over the top in my view. this is more anti—semitism and general badness on facebook groups in which some of jeremy corbyn‘s advisors have taken part. but there is no evidence that they have seen any of these things are they're involved in them. it is more guilt by association. whereas the real story is christine shaw croft resigning. there is no
10:36 pm
evidence to suggest jeremy corbyn knows anything about this. it says 12 senior staff members are members of these groups who post these appalling comments anti—semitic comments. but as john says, appalling comments anti—semitic comments. but asjohn says, we don't know these 12 staff members are responsible for any of them or if they have seen them. but nevertheless it is more pressure on jeremy corbyn in what has been a pretty dreadful week or two for him oi'i pretty dreadful week or two for him on this. the paper does point out, despite their research, they say no one injeremy corbyn‘s or mcdonnell‘s office a had seen, posted or endorsed anti—semitic comments. but they said david prescott was member. jeremy corbyn was a member of one of these facebook groups, but there was no evidence he had seen the posts. he
10:37 pm
had responded to people who referred to him. i don't know how facebook works very well. neither do i. i do know that the way thatjeremy corbyn would have used it would have been if someone mentions him, then he would get a notification to respond to that person without knowing what else was going on in the group. let's turn to the mail on sunday and still on the subject of labour party. this news come as a shock to you? eddie izzard? well not really, i know he was a labour party member. ididn't i know he was a labour party member. i didn't know he had come second in the poll to be head of discipline for the labour party. he is now it, because christine shawcross has stepped down after a difficult week for herand stepped down after a difficult week for her and one does have to wonder why it took her to long. tom watson was probably one of main reasons she stood down. he made it plain she had
10:38 pm
i'io stood down. he made it plain she had no option. why jeremy stood down. he made it plain she had no option. whyjeremy corbyn hadn't put pressure. we don't know if he had a word with her. as far as i know publicly he has not. the puzzle is why has it taken so long? we have gotan is why has it taken so long? we have got an easter weekend with not much political news and they have allowed the story to go on for another day. this story also details that john mann, labourmp, who this story also details that john mann, labour mp, who said he wanted ken livingstone out of labour party is saying that again, because of what ken livingstone said on this. we have the ex—mp tristram hunt calling for the london mayor and david miliband to launch a new party. the journalist, who i respect, ran a piece saying that in his view this could be the end of
10:39 pm
jeremy corbyn and the labour party as we know it. but set against that as we know it. but set against that a poll in the times said 80% of labour party supporters backjeremy corbyn and think he has handled the situation well. eddie izzard is a great supporter ofjeremy corbyn, i was looking back to comments he made on the today programme in on, at the time that the nec were voting, he saidi time that the nec were voting, he said i would urge the labour party to keep their eyes on the general election. he is not a huge supporter ofjeremy corbyn. that is why he wasn't elected, because he was on the the momentum slate, which organised jeremy corbyn‘s supporters to get them on to the nec. so so jeremy corbyn didn't want him. and now they have got him. now, the next story, i was looking atjeremy
10:40 pm
corbyn‘s twitter feed tonight seeing if there was any reaction to the news today... he never mentions bad news. his comment relates to this, the sunday mirror and victory on child burials. his comment is this is welcome news, a simple piece of dignity for families. well done to the sunday mirror, they have been on this campaign for a long time with an mp who lost her son aged eight and for many people this is an unbearable expense and pressure and people have been having to take out loans to bury their children. the good news is after the that campaign the prime minister's set up a special children's funeral fund to cover those costs. i imagine those who can't afford it, then hopefully
10:41 pm
anyone else who feels the need for that kind of help. hats off to the sunday mirror. and to caroline harris. a number of councils have put the cancellations into immediate effect. we don't expect that announcement until the autumn. but wakefield council have said it is coming in with immediate effect. we are going to go to the telegraph and brexit bias. alleged! again. you know, i know it is a thin news weekend. sorry, to be slapping off my colleagues who work hard on rival newspapers, but the idea that the election, electoral commission is biased on the question of brexit is based on the fact that some of its members have said things about brexit in the past. that is not
10:42 pm
surprising, given that at least three of them are ex—mps, i checked them out. the chairman sirjohn holmes has said things about brexit before he became chairman. but the idea that it is biased, doesn't... there is not from what i have seen any evidence to suggest they acted other than any evidence to suggest they acted otherthan an any evidence to suggest they acted other than an independent way. but it is the comments they made outside the arena. yes. jacob rees mogg this it isa the arena. yes. jacob rees mogg this it is a serious situation and priti patel. and they don't have any bias on the question of brexit. now a proper newspaper! 0h, on the question of brexit. now a proper newspaper! oh, come on. now the times, i was shocked. back to the sometimes. talk about london's murder rate compared to new york. what about the the independent. london murder rate beats new york as
10:43 pm
stabbings surge. that is a story. that is for february. we had one more murder in the month of february and the likelihood in march london will be ahead of new york. that is astonishing, many people think of new york as this very violent place and it was in the past. but i can't rememberthe name of and it was in the past. but i can't remember the name of major. ruddy... a mayor began a clean up campaign and improved things dramatically. a mayor began a clean up campaign and improved things dramaticallym has gone on improving. that is the real importance of the story. the london rate has gone up. that is serious and bad. but the important bit is new york has gone down so much. a lot of this is knife crime. cressida dig said in her view the internet fires this, because rows between gangs of kids on the
10:44 pm
internet spiral more easily and quickly. here is a question - how do you get the message across when it's old wrinklies like trying to tell young people and often none white young people and often none white young people and often none white young people about their reality. do young people about their reality. do you think the message will get across. no, but sadiq khan has done good work with former gang members who are the sort of people who can get the message across. are you sure? the essential part is the number killings in london has been quite alarming.
