11:17 pm
with the surie, united kingdom's eurovision entry, who they say went down "a storm," despite that stage invasion. the mail on sunday reports on the family of meghan markle, prince harry's soon to be wife, claiming her father thomas staged pictures with the papparazi. the sunday telegraph says at least a dozen members of theresa may's cabinet are lining 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 this evening. we are going to start with the telegraph. three stories. firstly, what has happened tonight, ruth, in paris. knifeman shot dead after
11:18 pm
killing one. paris unfortunately has quite a history of islamist outrages. it is difficult to know quite what the motives were for this particular knifeman. i think the authorities are being incredibly cautious. we don't know whether he was a solitary man or whether he was attached to a group or what he intended to achieve ibis. apparently he shouted "god is great" before he knifed people. laos, paris does have an unpleasant history of these attacks. emmanuel macron has called him a terrorist in a tweet. we also have the islamic state group, through their official newsagency, if you can call it that, claiming responsibility, saying the perpetrator was a soldier of is who carried out the attack in response by calls by is to target countries of the anti—is coalition. they are not citing any evidence we will treat that with some caution. not citing any evidence we will treat that with some cautionlj think treat that with some caution.” think when you have the president of
11:19 pm
france saying that it is a terrorist, he must have some pretty solid reason for saying that, otherwise... but whether it is is, we don't know. they claim responsibility for all sorts of things. it will come out. i am going to believe they know what they are doing if they say that, because normally they hedge their bets and say they don't know. it is horrible. what was the only good thing about it was that people seem to know what to do when it was happening. they ran down the street warning people to get inside. i think that is the thing we have to do. the chances of it happening to any of us in our cities are pretty remote, but if it does happen, you want everybody to get clear. staying with the telegraph for a second story. dozens of ministers desert theresa may on customs. they don't like the customs partnership she is proposing. the customs partnership is one of the
11:20 pm
options the government has put forward for dealing with the irish border. the idea is that the government would actually sort of collect the tariffs for any trade that was going through to the eu, and for goods that were going to stay in the united kingdom, there would you rebates or refunds for the particular importers. described as crazy by the foreign secretary of ireland. yes, i think this is pretty well dead in the water. i don't think it is workable. so what do we have instead 7 think it is workable. so what do we have instead? we have a technical solution, as they do on board as in other parts of the world. a sickly, you have a trusted trader scheme, people register, and they put everything on electronically. —— basically. but the eu has rejected that too. they don't think it is going to work. they have rejected everything so far, and whether that is part of the game playing or not, you know, we had a watchdog to ten years and we are a bit suspicious of
11:21 pm
trusted traders. and also, you have so trusted traders. and also, you have so many companies and probably individuals crossing the borders, how are you going to keep track of all of them is trusted traders? quite honestly, with trusted traders, you arejust quite honestly, with trusted traders, you are just dealing with traders. if there is a bit of smuggling there is a bit of smuggling. there is already attacks board with different duty rates. i be surprised if there isn't already some smuggling going on. —— i wouldn't be surprised. then that is free movement, isn't it, of goods and services in people and money. i we not going to have that?“ and services in people and money. i we not going to have that? if we leave the customs union there will he customs border in addition to the tax borders. pragmatically, wouldn't you say to keep the customs union as it is? no. because you wouldn't be able to have an independent trade policy. turkey does. i don't think turkey does, actually... it is in the customs union but it has free trade deals have lots of other countries. items had by brussels combat is my understanding. and
11:22 pm
indeed, if we stayed in the full customs union, there would be major restrictions on the trade agreements, and we couldn't change out tariffs either. so we have a dozen ministers object into this, multiple defeats in the house of lords... yes, and you have to dominant ministers who are remains joining their ranks, if i read the telegraph correctly, sajid javid, the new home secretary, and gavin williamson, whom theresa may might have been counting on because he plucked her very —— she plucked him very young from the whips office and made him defence secretary. the customs partnership, i think, made him defence secretary. the customs partnership, ithink, is deadin customs partnership, ithink, is dead in the water. the trouble is that this whole thing is terrible. we have the house of lords rebelling. may must wake up every morning, if she gets any sleep at all, thinking, what on earth? how
11:23 pm
can we get out of this? it is a terrible mess. we will somehow. it isa terrible mess. we will somehow. it is a shambles. let's admit it is a shambles. there are moments when i do despair. wouldn't you expect to be further on, with less than a year to go? i would have thought so. i ta ke to go? i would have thought so. i take that point about the house of lords. i was actually very dismayed to see the house of lords acting as a wrecking chamber. is that what they were? this was a consideration of ills and amendments... of ara revising chamber. —— they are a revising chamber. —— they are a revising chamber. —— they are a revising chamber. they were talking about amendments to do with staying in the customs union, which the government isn't talking about, staying in the single market, changing the date, having a vote on the deal. these are essentially wrecking amendments. i was dismayed by the behaviour of the house of lords. i am no fan of the house of lords, and i think it is high time they were reformed. and if this shambles leads to them being
11:24 pm
reformed, and quite a lot of them, you know, the biggest chamber in the world and it is full of lords and aaron versus and so world and it is full of lords and aaron versus and so on? —— baroness. let's have a clear out, it is a shambles. i agree. the other story on the front page of the telegraph. us bishop to give address at a wedding which crosses cultures. the head of the episcopalian church, the most reverend michael currie. i think this is lovely. i'm not religious, so what do i know? but justin welby, the archbishop of canterbury, says he is a thoroughly good they are. —— good egg. his last name is currie. i think that is quite witty. twitter will decide. they are being inclusive of all sorts of people, and it is high time
11:25 pm
we were. he is reckoned to be a very good preacher. he looks very passionate on the front page of the sunday telegraph. justin welby doesn't preach like that, does he? that's the church of england, isn't it? we are a little more restrained. i like what i have seen so far of meghan markle, she wants to bring everybody into the tent and she wants to help women and poorer people... she wants to have them, which takes us nicely to the sunday times. "i am a hugger", says meghan markle. i wonder if she will go around hugging people in saint georges, isn't it? at windsor, the chapel. i think she might be more restrained on the day.” chapel. i think she might be more restrained on the day. i love huggers. my son and his friends who are 30 hide each other. i think that
11:26 pm
is great. i spent a lot of time in brussels, and i would kiss everybody as well. good god. i will hug you at the end of the papers just to see what your reaction is. i might film it and put it on twitter. the observer. 1 million studentsjoin calls. don't put me on camera as well, and expect me not to look at it. come on. the observer. 1 million stu d e nts it. come on. the observer. 1 million studentsjoin calls for a it. come on. the observer. 1 million students join calls for a vote on the brexit deal. this is starting with students at the university of kent. they reckon there is a million more who willjoin them. kent. they reckon there is a million more who will join them. these are actually the unions, so i think the leader is a little bit misleading, it is not the 1 leader is a little bit misleading, it is not the1 million leader is a little bit misleading, it is not the 1 million students, leader is a little bit misleading, it is not the1 million students, it is the actual unions representing them. the national union of students. there is probably at least three students who do not support this. more than three. the student
11:27 pm
leaders were saying that they supported this and they helps they could bring in 980,000. however many there are, what do they want? they wa nt there are, what do they want? they want a vote because they didn't have the vote in june want a vote because they didn't have the vote injune 2016. all one can say there is, they were too young, tough. when you have a general election you don't find that retrospectively people start voting again, do you? the idea is that this isa again, do you? the idea is that this is a life changing, a massive, massive change that we are voting for, with the referendum, whereas it isa for, with the referendum, whereas it is a general election and you can change your mind every five years. do you think general elections don't matter? the youth think they don't actually change the country? that's the point. they do, that every five yea rs the point. they do, that every five years you can change it back. you have a five term government, a five—year government, and it can com pletely five—year government, and it can completely change the country. you don't have students two years later saying... out of ideas later they
11:28 pm
would have the chance to change it. the students are joining into the shambles that we already have. they are getting on the bandwagon. why not? we already have the house of lords doing it, the cabinet is split, the country is lit, we have a schism between the 52%, the 48%, and not much clear water between them. there might be people who voted to leave who don't actually like the terms of the deal. half. they voted, people voted to leave. we didn't know what the terms were. if you are going to leave, you are leaving the institutions of the eu, the customs union, you are going to take control. i thought that was well understood. it didn't ask us about the institutions. if you say leaving the institutions. if you say leaving the eu, doesn't that mean leaving the eu, doesn't that mean leaving the institutions? what else do you leave 7 the institutions? what else do you leave? well, to be perfectly honest, i think that we are just revisiting of arguments. we are where we are, which is a shambles. very quickly,
11:29 pm
serial killer dennis nelson has died at the age of 72. i remember the very blue red headlines back in the 70s and 80s when these lawyers, young men, were killed. he was preying on gay people, he was boiling them. i seem to remember him getting rid of them by putting them down the drains. that was how they found him, the stench. was he the second worst serial killer in this country? yes, the worst at the time, only harold shipman has killed more since. he is dead now. he was on a full life sentence, extended from 25 yea rs. full life sentence, extended from 25 years. it is a nice story to end on. have a lovely weekend. so sorry about that. but we have reflected on the papers with your help. 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.co.uk/papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer.
11:30 pm
