10:30 pm
this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. one person has died and five others wounded — after a knife attack in central paris. the attacker has been shot dead. votes are being counted in iraq after the first parliamentary elections since the government declared victory over the so—called islamic state group. one of britain's most notorious serial killers, dennis nilsen, who was serving a life sentence in full sutton prison, nearyork, has died. tens of thousands of people march through central london, demanding better pay and improved job security. and a man has stormed the stage while the uk's entry, surie, was performing at the eurovision song contest. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
10:31 pm
bringing us tomorrow. our guestjoining me tonight are the broadcaster, lynn fauld wood and ruth lea, economic adviser to the arbuthnot banking group. thank you for being here. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. let's start with the observer which leads with students from the university of kent campaigning for a vote on the final brexit deal — they claim one million fellow students have joined the cause. the independent leads with the surie, united kingdom's eurovision entry— who they say went down "a storm"— the mail on sunday is running a story on the family of meghan markle, prince harry's soon to be wife — and they allege her father thomas staged pictures with the papparazi. the sunday telegraph says at least a dozen members of theresa may's cabinet are lining
10:32 pm
up to block her plans for a new "customs partnership" with the european union. the sunday times shows results from their annual so called "rich list" — and says almost all the 1,000 richest people are now entrepreneurs who built their own fortunes. the sunday express says robots which can listen, learn and react to people are being introduced in care homes to help look after residents and prevent loneliness. so plenty for us to discuss in the next 15 minutes or so. we'll we‘ ll start we'll start with three stories on the front of the telegraph. its front page rarely lets us down. we will start with paris knife man shot dead after killing one, but several others injured. apparently he was shouting god is great and there is some suggestion it was attached to an islamist or jihadist some suggestion it was attached to an islamist orjihadist group. as yet, we do not know the motives and the authorities are being cautious about the motives. we don't know if it was a one—off, a solitary man, or
10:33 pm
whether he was part of the group. we know very little about it. the trouble with paris and france, there isa trouble with paris and france, there is a history of islamist steering this kind of thing. the most horrific outrage in the bataclan theatre several years ago. as yet, i don't know whether it was a solitary man or what he was. the authorities warning against too much speculation. i listened to some witnesses on the way in on the radio and they didn't mention the god is great line, although it is on the front page of the telegraph. who knows, we shouldn't jump front page of the telegraph. who knows, we shouldn'tjump to conclusions, he could be a sick person who ran down the street with a knife. two people are seriously injured. and one person has died. paris has got a relatively high security presence because of the incidents you have referred to. the bata cla n incidents you have referred to. the bataclan was in 2015, and the
10:34 pm
charlie hebdo incident where several people were killed. i think i agree lin, we don't know what the motives are. somebody ran down the street warning people to get inside, so whatever happens, get inside and hide and be safe and secure. that's what the people did according to people on the radio. let's look at brexit. i hoped we would. this is the first bite at it. i was going to get money we wouldn't have brexit tonight. i thought you would have the tuc, but there you go. that kind of wager is always a risk. the sunday telegraph, a dozen ministers desert theresa may on customs. this is the customs partnership, whereby we would collect tariffs for the european union on any goods heading to the eu. and it's not got an enormous endorsement from experts,
10:35 pm
like ruth... from anyone! or the eu. the sunday telegraph has spoken to... sorry, i'm eating my hair! the sunday telegraph has spoken to an extraordinary number of people in the cabinet room by the sound of things, and it looks like virtually half of them, possibly more than half, will not support her on this one. last week she thought it would be home and dry on the customs partnership, and sajid javid, be home and dry on the customs partnership, and sajidjavid, her newest minister, who has taken over at the home office, and gavin williamson, who i think she hoped would be on her side in defence, because he was rapidly promoted, they have both come out against it as well. about a dozen ministers? are they remainers, leavers, a mixture? suggesting there are remainers back in there. they had a meeting of the subgroup of the
10:36 pm
cabinet last week which dealt with brexit in the middle of the week. at that we did has reported they had agreed to dump the customs partnership idea as unworkable. agreed to dump the customs partnership idea as unworkablem was kind of wishful thinking. later it was reported they hadn't dumped it. it is time is pretty unworkable system was dumped, because even eu does not think this one has legs, quite honestly. the other great option is what they call this maximum facilitation situation which would be a technical solution, so you have trusted trading schemes and people preregister and it is done electronically. i don't see what the problem is... i did watchdog for ten years and i can see the problem. you are notjust talking years and i can see the problem. you are not just talking about giant companies who have very good accounting, you are talking about an awful lot of big and small companies. they would just be forgotten about. who will be forgotten about. who will be forgotten about? if there is the odd
10:37 pm
bit of smuggling across the irish border, frankly, who cares? really? i wouldn't care and i don't think hmrc particularly cares. a little bit of smuggling? let's be honest, there is already a border between northern ireland and the irish public. they have different duties and vat rates. but the free movement of goods is possible and that's the issue. it's one of the main tenets of membership of the european union that will disappear. we are going to leave the customs union, i trust, and under those circumstances we would have a different customs regime. under those circumstances, would have a different customs regime. underthose circumstances, i don't see why a technical solution can't do the trick. a lot of people say the technical solution doesn't actually exist. exactly. we were having a little debate about it out there, but until somebody can actually say definitively, this can work, because we have a history in this country of having amazing new computer systems that are brought
10:38 pm
m, computer systems that are brought in, forthe nhs, orfor banks, and then they let us down. you are a pessimist. i am a realist. what about trade from switzerland into the eu? what about the trade from norway into the eu. what about the us and canadian border? there are 20 precedents for it working well. they should just get on with it. —— there are plenty of precedents. we should get on with it but there is division on it. borisjohnson is calling theresa may's favoured solution crazy last week. you have a serious minister, the foreign secretary, using language like that publicly. they are in complete disarray as a cabinet. the sooner this is dumped, the better. they are going to dump it, but what will they put in its place? a technical solution. does the eu like the technical solution? they've rejected it all so far. they
10:39 pm
are not playing games because they are not playing games because they are negotiating. they have set about the uk's two favoured options, they have rejected them both because they are wanting to keep ireland in the customs union. but this is all up for negotiation and i am optimistic stop our most economists optimists? it is the dismal scientists, but of course. this is all a horrible mess. and we haven't got very long to go. it's a bit of a shambles. it's embarrassing! we'll come back to brexit in a minute. finally with the telegraph for now, a picture of the most reverend michael curry, who is the first african american elected as the presiding bishop of the episcopal church, and he will be
10:40 pm
invited to preach at the royal wedding next weekend. invited to preach at the royal wedding next weekendlj invited to preach at the royal wedding next weekend. i think it's terrific. i must admit that royal wedding fever hasn't really touched me yet. i'm waiting for it to happen. perhaps i will wake up next saturday and think, hurray, it's the royal wedding. and i will get my bunting out and waiver flag.|j royal wedding. and i will get my bunting out and waiver flag. i am not religious, but even i can see this is a good idea. i was going to say, he sounds like a good egg, but he's called michael curry, sub apps not an appropriate thing to say. good on her, meghan markle, or whatever her name will be, princess something whatever. .. whatever her name will be, princess something whatever... she will be windsor, won't she? she wanted to have a rainbow of people at her wedding because we have been hideously white for too long. hideously white! i think it's a good idea. a different humanity. we have
10:41 pm
meghan markle on the front of the sunday times, and she has told the palace that she is a hugger. i'm american and i hug, end of story. what's wrong with hugging? the younger generation, i think it's wonderful, they all hug each other. all the time, endlessly. look at ruth's face. it's great. i will hug you before i leave. she can't resist! what's wrong with it? it's showing warmth, which we don't normally expect from the royal family. i think it's fantastic. normally expect from the royal family. ithink it's fantastic. how was that? sincerely. we are too young to remember, but apparently when the queen came back from australia when charles was about five, she stepped off the plane and hairwas herwee five, she stepped off the plane and hair was her wee boy waiting to meet her, and she shook his hand. hair was her wee boy waiting to meet her, and she shook his handlj remember that. it was the
10:42 pm
convention. i know, but he's not better for it. listen to your auntie lynn, that's what i think. better for it. listen to your auntie lynn, that's what i thinklj better for it. listen to your auntie lynn, that's what i think. i will give you a hug later. let's go to the observer. i will get yasmin to hug you when she is on. i would pay money to see that. 1 million stu d e nts money to see that. 1 million studentsjoin calls for a money to see that. 1 million students join calls for a vote on the brexit deal. to begin with, these are students from the university of kent, and they say there are many more like them who would like this vote. we don't know how many students, it might be one from cambridge or a lot of them, but there are some russell group universities, some top—flight ones. it wouldn't surprise me at all if there was a mass student protest grow out of this, because students tend to be left—wing, and there is a
10:43 pm
serious point in this, that at 1.4 million of them, they couldn't have voted in the referendum because they we re voted in the referendum because they were too young. 1.4 million is a lot of people. it's probably the division between the voters for and against brexit. what would you do, retrospectively change everything? the results of elections? it's bizarre. that's the argument, and election takes place every five yea rs election takes place every five years for a general election but a referendum is a one—off. years for a general election but a referendum is a one-off. when we had the referendum, the government made it very clear that this was going to be binding. wasn't it advisory? it was binding, it actually said in the propaganda... sorry, the information. propaganda is right. the information leaflet that came from the government in may of 2016... from the government in may of 2016. . . any from the government in may of 2016. .. any more propaganda than an election information? why was it
10:44 pm
propaganda? it wasn't quite true. you could say that both sides. propaganda? it wasn't quite true. you could say that both sidesm was a government leaflet, giving one side of the story, saint you should vote to stay in the european union. however, it said in there that it would be a binding vote. there is some legal dispute on this. we still think its advisory. however, we have passed that point. - question passed that point. the question was, you % passed that point. the question was, you fi to stay in or leave. it do you want to stay in or leave. it did not ask those subtleties of, how do you want to leave, what do you wa nt to do you want to leave, what do you want to be left in and what does leaving look like? it couldn't ask that question, it had to be a very simple question. so when - the of t& the way will the ‘ in ~ , ,, , , ,, —— will the ‘i in which ' w, , v —— will the ‘i in which we ' ' '* ff we will leave, the way in which we will continue to engage with the european union, isn't it sensible in terms of sovereignty and democracy to say, is this what you still want? i would take a pounds two a penny that when people voted to leave,
