"patients trapped by care closures" — says the daily express. they're reporting that every month last year, more than 12 care homes went bankrupt as owners fought to find the money to cover increasing running costs. the ft also running a tribute to the late dame tessa jowell and also reporting that donald trump has ordered the us commerce department to assist a chinese telecoms group following a personal request from china's president. the telegraph also pays its respects to dame tessa jowell and says the head of m15 will appeal to european leaders today not to risk their "shared strength" by weakening security and intelligence—sharing after brexit. the guardian pay their respects to the 71 people who died in grenfell tower injune last year,
11:33 pm

11:34 pm
wonderful tributes, john. yes, the final victory being that the government has agreed to put some more money into a cancer research fund, which was the last cause that she championed in her life. she was one of those unusual politicians who did not have enemies, everybody liked her and she was also just very good at politics, she was very political and journalists loved her because she was so warm and approachable and chatty. vibrance is the word, passionate and full of energy. yeah, i think a lot of energy, very energetic and one of france was talking about her favourite song, i think it is alive and he was saying that just sums favourite song, i think it is alive and he was saying thatjust sums it up. —— friends. she gave a speech to
11:35 pm
the house of lords recently talking about the struggle she has had, struggling with cancer, but also saying that she would like a legacy to be that other people would not have the same problems, perhaps more treatments available on the nhs. this final victory is kind of the legacy that she herself is trying to push poor, citing her family will be very happy with the news. the details at the top of the times might as well. this doubling of the government's contribution to brain cancer research. “— government's contribution to brain cancer research. —— times. government's contribution to brain cancer research. -- times. yeah, a mean that is a fitting tribute to her. she achieved a lot more in her career, we were discussing earlier whether it is sure start centres or winning the right to stage the 0lympics that was the greatest triumph, but she was one of those politicians who achieved a great
11:36 pm
deal across a sort of wide range of subjects. yeah, the other thing that is nice is when you look at all the tributes come from it is notjust labour, it is also the tories and lib dems. she managed to get things done but in a way that she made you feel good after speaking to her. a lot of players in westminster resort to less attractive measures, and perhaps charm is the way to go. lesson perhaps for all of us. take us lesson perhaps for all of us. take us to the main story in the times, which is a story about this hooks, mi5 which is a story about this hooks, m15 attacking russia over a so—called fog of lies. m15 attacking russia over a so-called fog of lies. this is quite interesting, or the papers so-called fog of lies. this is quite interesting, orthe papers seem so-called fog of lies. this is quite interesting, or the papers seem to have ta ken quite interesting, or the papers seem to have taken quite different lines. ——
11:37 pm
all of. no one is quite sure what the main story is. we have had the risk of terror attacks and we have also had tensions between brussels and the uk on security. the times has gone for m15 attacks russia over a fog of lies, this is obviously following the salisbury attack, which we know britain very firmly places the blame on moscow for. m15 is saying that the way russia is behaving is really not on and the way they are using intelligence and cove rt way they are using intelligence and covert methods needs to be stopped, which might be enough to solve the story in the other papers that the eu and britain should work together to stop the threat of russia. eu and britain should work together to stop the threat of russiam eu and britain should work together to stop the threat of russia. it is a sort of carrot stick approach perhaps, a little bit. yes, it is not clear quite perhaps what andrew parkeris not clear quite perhaps what andrew parker is proposing ought to be done about russia, but the independent‘s line was that m15 was, it has been
11:38 pm
several months since the attack in russia last year. it was quite striking reminder of the fact that are still not safe from terrorism. yes, sorry, because i was going to say this is in the telegraph as well. just picking up on your point that their particular angle on this is to say that we all need to be united and we cannot allow brexit to put a spanner in the works. this is about the tensions between brussels and the uk about how much sharing of intelligence there should be after brexit. i think it isjust one of those things where lots of people wa nt those things where lots of people want the government to get on with brexit, they want brussels to get on
11:39 pm
with brexit, and ijust think when it comes to security if lives are at risk, issued just... it comes to security if lives are at risk, issued just. .. not it comes to security if lives are at risk, issuedjust... not meet picked over. . . risk, issuedjust... not meet picked over... just maybe work together. yes, it is more of a no—brainer. let's move on to another story at the bottom of the telegraph now, this is a good news story about a british couple that have been released in the congo. yes, that is good news certainly for them and theirfamilies, they good news certainly for them and their families, they must have good news certainly for them and theirfamilies, they must have had good news certainly for them and their families, they must have had a very anxious time. it is not clear how they have been released, what has happened, whether a ransom has been paid, whether there have been negotiations or what has gone on. borisjohnson, the negotiations or what has gone on. boris johnson, the foreign secretary, has intervened to announce the release, possibly hoping to share it some of the joy, but until we know more about the circumstances... you are taking a less cynical approach. until we
11:40 pm
circumstances... you are taking a less cynical approach. untilwe know what happened. he is right, we do not know exactly what happened. the couple did issue a statement. yeah, and it was not even a direct statement, it was someone issuing a statement, it was someone issuing a statement for them. it is quite a mysterious story and it obviously seems it has been quite traumatic for those involved. we know there are also people, the ranger who did not get through this experience. it yeah, it is quite vague and again, it is this tracking that is not doing so well... no, the park has been shut down, i do not think it is going to continue to be a big tourism destination. the story is all to do with plastic, which is of course a big topic at the moment. the cynic has returned in mere, that
11:41 pm
is more like it from a political journalist. it is basicallyjust clearing up plastic from beaches, from the countryside, and... and it is really the bbc story, isn't at? they really started at. we will take that. i think as much as the bbc, it also partly down to david attenborough and blue planners. in general, i think it isjust something that it is good is being done. —— planet. it is good that we have a shift in policy is, we have a population who will be quite happy paying for attacks on paper cups or plastic bottles and things like that because they do really take it seriously at the moment. plastic is one of those stories read is going
11:42 pm
to keep seeing again and again this year. that's right, i was worried the daily mail was going to forget about the royal family but they have got a pull—out on the queen and philip. | got a pull—out on the queen and philip. i want to know more about meghan markle's father. sorry, we have not delved into that and the paparazzi enough tonight for you, john. we will let you go and read up on it. we'll take it to the daily express, we are going to speed up the top to one of the inside pages. a man the top to one of the inside pages. amana the top to one of the inside pages. a man a lot of people may not have heard of, who has got a lot of money stop work well, he is top of the rich list for the uk and in a stunning twist, it is a rags to riches story. —— he has got a lot of money. british business generally is in favour of remaining, so good news all round. i am slightly surprised
11:43 pm
the daily express, obviously a big brexit backing paper, did not manage to get brexiteer in the headline. had you heard of him before? so it did not come to mind straightaway but then i remembered, he was mildly critical of the government's approach to the actual brexit negotiations. he said that they needed to basically go and hardline, he was opposed to the softly softly approach. i think it is interesting when you look at the sunday times rich list, which is the story is based from, it is this term self—made millionaires based from, it is this term self— made millionaires or billionaires. 21 billion. i think it is quite aspirational. it should be encouraging us all. i was listening today to someone saying to do well, you have to choose a really boring business. i think it is in construction was on think. he said thatis
11:44 pm
construction was on think. he said that is how you make your money and a lot of people would not have heard of him because what he does is probably not so easily explained, but it is obviously the way to do it. so shall we all planning new career? my thanks, that is all we have time for tonight but my thanks to you both. don't forget, you can see the front page of the papers online on the bbc news website seven a week. 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. thank you, katy and john. coming up next, it's the film review. from all of us, good night. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases,
11:45 pm
