11:30 pm
roman abramovich faces delays in renewing his uk visa. reports suggest his investor visa expired three weeks ago. on hawaii's big island, more people are being urged to leave their homes as fountains of lava from the kilauea volcano continue to break through the ground in residential areas. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are political correspondent at the financial times, henry mance and the associate editor of the times, anne ashworth. most of the morning papers are once again leading with the royal wedding. the metro carries a picture of prince harry and his new wife meghan heading to their reception last night. the sun says the duke and duchess of sussex had their first dance to whitney houston's " i wanna dance with somebody" at their wedding bash.
11:31 pm
the mirror claims that meghan gave a moving speech in which she said she "had found her prince". the express features the royal couple heading to the party. it says the event helped to create a triumphant wedding weekend for britain. the telegraph says buckingham palace has given its blessing to new duchess of sussex championing women's rights in her royal role. the daily mail calls it meghan's manifesto and says she's made it clear that she intends to take the royal family in a new direction. the guardian claims that homeless people are being fined, given criminal convictions and even imprisoned for begging and rough sleeping. the ft reports that britain is looking to australia for help in launching a rival to the eu's galileo satellite system. we will begin with addresses. beautiful dresses, but first, meghan's manifesto, as it appears, on the daily mail, a proud feminist,
11:32 pm
which gives us a hint at how she will use her profile. a biography has gone up on the royal website and it makes it clear that meghan markle is interested in certain things. she's worked with charities all her life and started at the age of 11 complaining about a tv ad about washing up liquid which said it was for women and she heard comments in her class and got annoyed about this and made a complaint, so it shows she will keep fighting for ideas she will believe in and that might be uncomfortable but some people who love the glossy princess image but don't want the implications of someone don't want the implications of someone who will stand up for issues. she wants to make sure she puts her profile to good use. and she has started quickly, declaring she has started quickly, declaring she is setting out her store for her version of being a member of the royal family and what it will be like and it will be very, very different and i think a great deal of excitement can come from this because exactly how does feminism
11:33 pm
really linked with being a royal consort of the traditional sort? a very interesting statement in how feminism manifests itself. will she be working with women's groups and what exactly, what form will it take? it will be hugely interesting. before we look at the telegraph, the daily mail has a sumptuous 32 page souvenir photo album including the secret royal asides by our lip reader. that is worth buying, just that. let's go back to the daily telegraph. a similar vein here. meghan to fight for feminism and she might have to tread carefully because prince charles, he has been speaking about environmental matters and architectural issues and more political things than that and got into hot water. we will have do
11:34 pm
reset our expectations of what the royals represent because there's always been this slight distaste for prince charles becoming a kind of arbiter of taste and architectural style but i wonder if there is not a new readiness to contemplate a different form of royal family? we have seen that with the mental health work the two princes were involved in. definitely. meghan will have a freer role, like prince harry, because they're not expected to become head of state and they are seen to become head of state and they are seen as to become head of state and they are seen as part of the warmth towards them is that they are seen as slight characters as opposed to very straightfaced people that we see elsewhere in the royal family. straightfaced people that we see elsewhere in the royalfamily. it is a delicate act, she's in a good position no. they have a bit more latitude, potentially. let's look at that frock she wore last night, made by stella mccartney. mega party. that frock she wore last night, made by stella mccartney. mega partylj suspect that will be a much copied
11:35 pm
frock. the halterneck will be quite the thing this summer. if you can get away with it, am. yes but this isa get away with it, am. yes but this is a beautiful stella mccartney down under wedding gown was gorgeous, and as you know, i cannot read enough about this and i am massively looking forward to all of those carefully prepared supplements tomorrow. do you have anything more tomorrow. do you have anything more to add? a great suit and it looks brilliant on him and a nicely ironed shirt. apparently they played beer pong at the after party, which is sort of like ping—pong, only with beer glasses. a drinking game. idris elbow was on the decks. that would have been good. the sun newspaper telling us that they had a dance to a whitney houston classic. the word p0p a whitney houston classic. the word pop fits nicely in the headline. maybe the royals dance differently from the rest of us. do they? do
11:36 pm
they dance differently? from the rest of us. do they? do they dance diffe re ntly?|j from the rest of us. do they? do they dance differently? i imagine they dance differently? i imagine the image of it being perfect and then not dancing terribly like eve ryo ne then not dancing terribly like everyone else at at the wedding. then not dancing terribly like everyone else at at the weddingm would be a great leveller. somebody sliding on their knees like peter kay, you hope. james gordon. yes, it would be him. the daily express is where we will go next, roman abramovich stranded in russia after his uk visa delay. this is an amazing about turn potentially about britain's relationship with russia. roman abramovich, the chelsea owner could not be at the fa cup final yesterday because he doesn't have a visa to be in the uk and has gone back to russia. his visa expired three weeks ago, we are told. he doesn't know the reason and people have said it won't be denied, but this guy was very welcome in the uk, as were lots of rich russians. after
11:37 pm
this terrible period of relations between uk and russia, these people might not be so welcome. going after the money. we are going after the oligarchs after we were told in the aftermath of the meghan is in case. i wonder summer summer events. after the skripal poisoning case. are they banning this or delaying visas for them? how carefully does britain have to tread? they do bring huge amounts of investment into the city and the country, so how much would we miss? potentially there could be legal action if the grounds for denying the visa was incorrect. we know relations between russia and the uk can't get much worse and there is huge political pressure to do things that hurt people close to vladimir putin. or they will put pressure on putin. or they will put pressure on putin saying we have the wonderful
11:38 pm
lives in russia —— london being room —— ruined by your behaviour and you need to soften your approach. pressure into different directions. looking at the ft, the uk looks to australia by helping launching a galileo rival system. we are back to brexit after all of the royal wedding fun. i have taken you in the wrong direction. that is where we are going later. sorry. the clue is on the screen. it is big enough, isn't it? sorry. it is trade we are talking about. can we do an about turn? donald trump famously thinks china is exploiting the us and he says you have to bring down your trade deficit and buy more stuff from us. china has agreed to do some of that. we thought the whole global economy would crash but they agreed to buy a of goods and it's all a bit
11:39 pm
vague at the moment. but would be big move. not things like steel which have been the big bugbear. energy products like liquefied petroleum, apparently that is on its way into vast tankers and that will be stockpiled, and who knows if these deals will ever materialise? i was an american policymaker, should ibe,| was an american policymaker, should i be, iwould be was an american policymaker, should i be, i would be upset because the big loss is the theft of intellectual property that is american intellectual property and none of these deals seem to resolve any of that. let's look at the guardian, homeless people facing fines and prison. this is a real back to reality story. it's a really terrible story about homeless people being sent to prison for breaching public space protection orders. now, is it an answer to homelessness to
11:40 pm
send people to prison? it certainly isn't but we are also wondering about the homelessness reduction act? that lays on council considerable duties to look after homeless people in their area. if you give notice within 56 days of being homeless your council should being homeless your council should be looking after you. also there is heather wheeler, the minister for homelessness and several months ago she promised she would resign if the problem got worse and it seems as if they are not coping with it and they are merely turning it into a crime. it's interesting that these laws exist that it is possible to do this, whether it is overreaching or the correct interpretation? these orders are about specific areas and they are about cancels clearing a particular areas and it can have very egregious results and one is
11:41 pm
judges feeling unhappy about sentencing people and punishing people are actions that came out of polity. it speaks of the wider problem of homelessness which is a bigger and bigger issue, problem of homelessness which is a biggerand bigger issue, not problem of homelessness which is a bigger and bigger issue, notjust people sleeping rough which is the most visible sign, but those who are sofa surfing and families in temporary accommodation for years. and there have been commitments made on this by the government and only 296 on this by the government and only 2% of the people rub sleeping were those who are in the armed forces but it is very visible in all towns and cities and we will go home tonight and seen dozens of people sleeping rough and this does not seem sleeping rough and this does not seem to be the answer. let us go to the galileo story which i flagged up prematurely. a little preview there. the uk looks to australia for helping launching rival to galileo system. this is about who our friends are after brexit. the eu said that if we leave the eu we
11:42 pm
cannot be part of the most secure and sensitive parts of their satellite system being built over the last 15 years. uk said, fine, we will build our own system and who can we clubbed together with? australia is a country we and share intelligence. they have expressed an interest albeit an early stage one. whether the uk will put up its own space whether the uk will put up its own s pa ce syste m whether the uk will put up its own space system or whether it will come to an agreement with the eu in the months ahead. also an interesting figure. £4 billion, that's not enough to build it. even i know that. this is a much more expensive thing. the project is so huge, this whole satellite navigation system, andl whole satellite navigation system, and i don't think you get that the just 4 billion. is this more brinkmanship of a kind? that it will go if the eu does not want to be a pa rt go if the eu does not want to be a part of it. it seems to be about eu rules and control data. we know the
11:43 pm
uk has to do compromise a lot in negotiations and the eu also has to compromise on some points and this might be one of them. compromise on some points and this might be one of themlj compromise on some points and this might be one of them. i think this will end might be one of them. i think this willend up might be one of them. i think this will end up with a fudge and we will probably be in the centrally encrypted part of the galileo system at some point. if we are involved in sharing intelligence, this is an too much of a leap to be involved in? sharing intelligence, this is an too much of a leap to be involved mm is also a manufacturing project so you have airbus contributing from the uk and they are talking about moving operations to france and it doesn't make any sense brister both be working on separate systems if there is a legal way to join together? thank you both. staple -- stay put if you would, for a minute. steve, focus on this on camera three. i've got something to tell you. this is my ship with a man called steve eldritch, one of our fantastic directors. can you coming closer. i've been working with steve
11:44 pm
for 18 years and he has been the voice in my year —— here all that time since we worked together on a per duly programme called uk today which you might remember —— peculiar programme. he's decided after 33 yea rs ? programme. he's decided after 33 years? he's decided to leave the bbc. for some time to himself. i think he's going to regret it. we will certainly miss him. but we wish you well, steve. apologies for the quality of the paper as the toner has run out on the printer. what can you do? steve, thank you very much. that's it for the papers. don't forget you can see the front pages of the paper online on the bbc news website, seven days a week. if you missed the programme any evening, watch it later on bbc i play. henry and dan, thank you for indulging us. next it's the film review. there is a costume change continuity
11:45 pm
issue, some of you might notice. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode in his squeaky chair. what do we have this week? very interesting, we have on chesil beach, adapted from the ian mcewan novel. deadpool 2, satirical sequel. and the prizewinner at cannes last year, jeune femme. beautifully pronounced. thank you, my french accent is terrible. the practice paid off. so, on chesil beach, an adaptation of ian mcewan's beautiful book.
