10:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines: the government say it has no plans for further air strikes on syria amid deep divisions with opposition parties over the issue. the us prepares to impose new sanctions against russian companies with links to president assad. 25 years on from the murder of stephen lawrence, his father, neville lawrence, has told the bbc he forgives his son's killer. the chief executive of the world's largest advertising agency, martin sorrell, is stepping down following an internal investigation into claims of personal misconduct. meet the author this week my guess this is cesaro o'sullivan, a leading expert on the brain, who tells the story of efforts to discover the secrets still hidden. her book is called brainstorm, detective stories
10:31 pm
from the world of neurology. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are owen bennett, deputy political editor at huffpost uk, and rosamund urwin, financial service correspondent at the sunday times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with the telegraph which reports that russia has begun a cyber campaign against the uk and us following air strikes in syria. the same story leads the express front page, quoting experts who say russian hackers are targeting britain's infrastructure network. meanwhile, the metro says the prime minister faces a battle with the labour leader, who claims mrs may was convinced to participate in the raids by donald trump's tweets. the sun says the prime minister will give parliament a choice to support the military action or accept there may be more brutality from the syrian leader.
10:32 pm
the guardian says mrs may will tell her opponents that the strikes were in the country's best interests. the financial times‘ top story is the news that ad agency boss martin sorrell, who resigned today, is free to start another agency. the times reveals plans to extend a scheme allowing nhs patients to control their own health care budgets. wide tensions between russia and the uk and the debate over those air strikes still dominating the papers tomorrow, let's have a closer look at some stories. we will start with that story. the metro says jeremy corbyn we will start with that story. the metro sasteremy corbyn goes to war against the prime minister. jeremy corbyn interviewed today was clear that his main issue at the moment seems to be with britain's response to the chemical weapons attack on syria. he spent much more time i think talking about that rather than
10:33 pm
the attack itself, i think. people the attack itself, i think. people the commons and tried to force a boat there on the issue, a retrospective vote. i hope don't know what that means the bombs come back again. it will be away for him to do what he always has wanted to do, his foreign policy views front and centre in british politics. jeremy corbyn was always considered the foreign policy guy, diane abbott was home affairs, that kind of stuff. he is relishing this opportunity to finally put forward what he believes is an ethical foreign policy, and he perhaps feels he has more on that tradition. there is the spectre of barack, isn't there, in all of this? the pm programme we ran robin cook's speech about iraq the other day. theresa may has not won the support of the british people. a poll in the sunday
10:34 pm
papers showed that two thirds of people didn't think it was right for this intervention without going to the commons. i think a lot of that comes back to iraq. i have been to kosovo and you see the exact opposite there, you see a case for intervention. it is not as though every example in recent history gives you the iraq deal. in kosovo it is the exact opposite. i do think one of the things that jeremy corbyn has drawn on here, he is saying that she has read donald trump's tweets. that is a weak argument. i don't think theresa may is going to be influenced by that. as we will see later, emmanuel macron was also a supporter of this action. we will come to him in a moment. first, let's look at the sun. the headline is back me or back brutality. that
10:35 pm
is back me or back brutality. that is the choice that the minister will present mps. i think there was a good chance of winning if there is a vote. she will be nervous about. we are seeing that some ministers have been recalled. tobias ellwood was supposed to be on a trip. she is clearly nervous that if there is a vote she will lose it. i think there isa very vote she will lose it. i think there is a very good chance that she would actually win this boat. the caparo boatin actually win this boat. the caparo boat in 2013, 30 labour mps voted —— conservative mps voted against it. seven of them are no longer mps. some of the ones who voted against it 2013, like sarah williston, she doesn't think that needs to be built. many of the labour mps i have
10:36 pm
spoken to about this, one of them said to me, it is the both that hau nts said to me, it is the both that ha u nts to ny said to me, it is the both that haunts tony blair and most about his time as an mp. theresa may should've been doing this last week. she is finally making the case to the british people, but she should have been doing this last week. it is too late now. the times, i convinced donald trump to stay in syria. it was only a short time ago that we we re was only a short time ago that we were expecting president trump to start pulling out american troops. whether the french leader should be taking the credit, i don't know. why you would your credit rating donald trump is does is beyond beef. he is pitching this new special relationship with donald trump. trump seems to be reneging on that.
10:37 pm
he went into the us election are pa rt he went into the us election are part of his big appeal to many people was we will not get involved in foreign wars any more. america first. how does he now played this ain? first. how does he now played this again? evil probably tried to claim the moral high ground is. we also have nikki haley, the us ambassador to the un saying there are several things here that we are going to do not going to do. we will clamp down on the influence of iran. we will root out the ism group will stay in for at least another six months. we haven't mentioned russia here. russia and iran are clearly also heavily involved in the syrian war and will be more closely involved with each other now, which is quite a terrifying prospect. which is the way the united states is trying to get that syria by imposing more
10:38 pm
sanctions on russian companies which have connections to chemical weapons. yes, and i suspect one of the things we will see from nikki haley is the possibility of further sanctions against russian individuals and russian companies with interests. the daily express, cyber war alert as russians hit back. this is the suggestion that there is an infrastructure attack living here and in the us. they have seena 20 living here and in the us. they have seen a 20 fold increase in disinformation being spread by kremlin link to social media accounts. is what's the story is, and the telegraph has the story as well. there is a fear that this will bea well. there is a fear that this will be a precursor to a full— blown campaign of cyber warfare by moscow. this is the sort of starting point and could get much worse and more severe. this cyber sphere is worse so much as likely to play out in the
10:39 pm
future. exactly. the thing with the cyber war, you don't even have to do, just say you're going to do the people get nervous. this cyber war which the russians are clearly going to try to do, that shouldn't attract us to try to do, that shouldn't attract us from the fact that in syria children are being gassed. it is very easy to get caught up in this, but what is happening in syria is terrible. 100 years ago as a world we decided we weren't going to use chemical weapons and war. the idea that this red line was said in barack 0bama is ridiculous, it was said in geneva in 1928. one thing we have to think about the cyber war is that warfare in the future will look like warfare looks like in syria now. you don't need bombs to cripple an economy. you can do it with cyber
10:40 pm
warfare. it will look very different. we are starting to realise what the future of warfare may look like. our political editor has just tweeted, tomorrow the pm will take the unusual step and call foran will take the unusual step and call for an emergency debate on syria, but that doesn't mean apple that is worth anything will take place. let's move away from this. the financial times, martin sorrell free to create new advertising company after leaving wpp. sir martin sorrell has been instrumental in the success for 33 years. it is interesting there is no non—compete clause in his contract. he really has been pushed out. wpp, an enormous company with lots of separate structures, quite likely to be broken up. what will martin
10:41 pm
sorrell do? e is 73, but this is not a man whose innings is over. unless he doesjohn a man whose innings is over. unless he does john major and a man whose innings is over. unless he doesjohn major and pops to the lords for the afternoon. the timing of this story is notable. it dropped on saturday very late so that missed most sunday newspapers. we have it. it has been very carefully managed and there is quite a lot else going on in the world, so it really was that macro it might have made a bigger splash ordinarily. he denies any wrongdoing. the sheer scale of wpp and how it has grown under his aegis is quite remarkable. it is not aegis is quite remarkable. it is not a name that a lot of people would know, but people would note the companies underneath it. the fact
10:42 pm
that there isn't this non—compete agreement suggest that no one ever thought he would go. they can't have done, can they? when it is something you have founded, you are a lot less likely to have had bad. he still has 296 likely to have had bad. he still has 2% of the company. he still has a big interest in its success. let's finish with the daily telegraph. pushy parents make up relationship will to get children into best schools. what we think is that they are saying that they have broken up so are saying that they have broken up so that there is a second flat much nearer a school which gives their child averaged —— eligibility to go to that school. the desperation... tomorrow is the day when children will found out if they get into the
10:43 pm
right primary school. parents getting creative in their methods. this has been a story for many years now, when people buy a smaller place and pretend it is their residents so they can get their kid into the dream school. councils to check up on how long people have been resident close to the school of their choice. 267 offers have been withdrawn because of fraudulent applications in 2016—17. people are checking up on it but i guess it shows... that pressure that must put on the child. we have staged a thick brick up for you, you better do well! let's finish with netball. i
10:44 pm
don't say that often enough. england's golden girls, they are women, high ever. 0h, england's golden girls, they are women, high ever. oh, dear. they beat australia. they have beaten australia, who were the overwhelming favourites. they beat them in the final seconds of the game. 52—51. they all go crazy at the end. they jumped on top of each other, very happy. it was when manchester city won the league today. this was a genuine shock, unlike that. won the league today. this was a genuine shock, unlike thatm won the league today. this was a genuine shock, unlike that. it was a dream come true. and it offered to the final, so even more impressive. it is an extraordinary game. you may have played, i don't know. more and more men do, boys do these days.
10:45 pm
when i was playing, it was competitive for sure, but the speed at which these women play is extraordinary. it is quite a lot faster than i played, certainly. he thought it looked a bit different, as well. the rules haven't changed. two cans should, gold shirt and call attack. they are the only two. is it not like bass kebab above the best bets taken out, is at?
