to her. and some of the happening to her. and some of the commentary that she has been making the russian ambassador saying, she would like to see her. like to see if she could help. but at the moment, she does not wish to reveal herself to the services. funny. she comes over very well. she comes across as a very well—adjusted person she has not gone on to denounce her homeland, she's willing to go back. her family is still there as well. any comment she makes, would be used by the russians to say, you've been set up by the british and things like that. these words that she uses, can be used to say that you're acting say propaganda piece to whatever. she's very, whether or not she's being

used by the british. in this sense, she's not allowed to quietly melt away and rebuild her life, she is sort of a pond in this clash between... in this one, the interview was given to a news agency. it's, she's not being fed to the british media and all of its glory, as you know... it's a very controlled media operation. and i think that this must be being guided by the services who are trying to protect her and her father as by the services who are trying to protect her and herfather as best as they can. and i'm sure that they wa nt to as they can. and i'm sure that they want to tell the story, they must feel terribly threatened. i'm sure they'd don't feel safe even now. and are trying to the situation as best as they can. and we have heard nothing of the father, but always

had is that he was discharged. she wa nts to had is that he was discharged. she wants to make sure that he is ok. that's move on to another story, but we'll get into, it's hard to imagine. this is the times, financial times dahl story, that customs. this is an intriguing story. we've been hearing that there isa story. we've been hearing that there is a split in the cabinet and one group wants a particular set up for the customs, a partnership arrangement, and then there's the prime minister that wants... and nobody seems to have thought to ask, but the favoured option of the heart brexiteers, is max fac. maximum facilitation arrangement. this will

cost businesses £20 billion. that is twice the net contribution that we make to the eu. and this is £20 billion a year. this is actually an ongoing cost. these are people who we re ongoing cost. these are people who were supposed to want free trade and be on the side of business, and they are talking about imposing this in norm this extra cost on business! it's already been sort of questioned deeply, but the latest evidence given today by h mrc, really kind of blows this out of the water. he says, it's going to cost for these for customs declaration. it cost about six by 5 billion in each direction. by giving him those terms, then he realises that we are getting this impression that as

magical as some of them and said, this magical sort of machinery that will be brought out and somehow, it will be brought out and somehow, it will monitor goods moving back and forth. the hard reality... in some ways, it's useful for the forth. the hard reality... in some ways, it's usefulfor the prime minister as she continues to push this partnership. that magical thinking a bit of a contradiction here is that many people voted for brexit because they wanted border control. but when it comes to moving the goods, they don't want any controls. so you want people to checkis controls. so you want people to check is coming in, and nobody to check is coming in, and nobody to check out the goods they come back and forth. even if we believe that no deal on those terms, we will be required to make those checks. even under theresa may's preferred version, 20 take more time. extended

to 2023, 2021, this clearly is a situation where the government has not yet even decided what it wants. and yet, we're only a few months away from having the final cut. there is a growing among the back benches —— concern. yes, 0k, they may have to pay. lots of money, but what about all of the wonderful new available free trade deals are going to get on brexit? we have not worked out that cost. but the governments figures are showing that they won't bring us very much at all. 300 million pounds of a year back. let's visit that particular arc. i find

more curious one will be the story about galileo. the project, some european version of... with the times is saying is that the german backed project in brussels, that they should not be allowed access to they should not be allowed access to the code. it could affect military planners and so on. and that has not been back by the western eu. so the british are getting a bit angry about the money they've paid. but this again be a factor, because of the negotiations are not going well. and galileo has not been mentioned before, and that's something i will not be affected by the eu. but we're playing the game of chess, are wetheir moves being made. —— there

are moves being made. and that is something that will be looking for and what britain is now saying is that we will demand our i and what britain is now saying is that we will demand ouri million back. so there are clearly tensions around. this is massive. this is our defence. this is europe's defence. let's move onto something on the telegraph, is interesting. jeremy corbyn calls for... he's always believed in a united ireland when he was an obscure backbencher in the later 805. butjeremy corbyn i5 going to northern ireland... he still believes in the united ireland. he has not changed his views. legitimately, he says that jeremy corbyn still believes in a

united ireland. yes said by content of the good friday agreement, if you have a referendum and so on, but clearly at the moment there is no desire in northern ireland have a united ireland. so eitherway, this is very much... and again, a lot of people are saying that they're encouraging people to look at this a5 encouraging people to look at this as an alternative. this is explosive stuff. an opportunity for conservatives, the conservative and unionist party, we surely cannot break up the party for this. we have to keep united kingdom together. northern ireland is one of our poor countries. we cannot just northern ireland is one of our poor countries. we cannotjust abandon them because there is another policy will want to follow. and yet, we have jeremy corbyn, will want to follow. and yet, we havejeremy corbyn, who has always suggested that we would get rid of northern ireland, and indeed, 1984, two weeks after the bombing, he

invited two ira terrorists to come to the house of commons. so this is something that the tories may well exploit. the labour party which does believe in keeping the union together, and others who believe that there should be a united ireland. like jeremy corbyn. but he's always been in the minority. and this is something that is quite new. let's move onto the independent legislature, this is an interesting story. this is school inspection. a lot of people will be surprised to read this. what happened was that schools were classified, those that we re schools were classified, those that were outstanding and those that were classified were inspected, 1600 schools that have not been inspected for at least six years and 290 that haven't been visited by them for over a decade. what is outstanding

school, nobody comes back to check. whether or not you're an outstanding school. what a way of operating. once you get this wonderful certificate, you hang it up on the wall, you then check forever! he dues this policy that if your rating is outstanding, you shouldn't automatically have to keep being reinspected. when i can see the logic in that. on the pressure... bore the cost of the continued reinspections, it seems that a number of these schools have just been almost forgotten about and the focus has been understandably again on schools that were not rated as outstanding, but it had never been intended that the time delay between when inspection of the other would grow between six to ten years. while all schools need to be inspected! surely! we have a bit of good news.

how to live long. this is on the front of daily telegraph this is definitive now. 51 million people. basically, what they're saying is if you stop the booze on top of that, if you cut out all the sugary goods does have water, to cut the risk of cancer by 41%. not that it's quite significant, but certainly processed meats, alcohol and sugar are known to be quite dangerous for your health. obesity is now apparently becoming the biggest cause of cancer than smoking. and this idea that we have to have healthier lifestyles and cut down on sugar and reduce a d's... and cut down on sugar and reduce a d's. .. bet that some time! -- with

southeastern parts of england overnight. so spreading its way westwards a cross overnight. so spreading its way westwards across the south wales. circuses and showers and thunderstorms. fairly muddy, 13 degrees, further north, a bit drier and clear. but that misty will cloud will roll in across the eastern areas. this is the area, the feature thatis areas. this is the area, the feature that is going to bring up further and some showers, maybe some thunderstorms through southern parts of the country through the morning i think will be, more compliant with the southwest, as he had through the afternoon, some thunderstorms will be spreading in towards parts of wales, across into the irish sea. clear skies further east, that low cloud will be going to the coast quite chilly. but much of scotland, a glorious day. we could see 22 degrees, maybe even 23 across the southeast, but cooler across the
