11:30 pm
passenger groups criticise the awarding of a cbe to network rail boss mark carne following weeks of chaos on the railways. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nigel nelson, who's the political editor of both the sunday mirror and sunday people, and the political commentator jo phillips. i don't know how we are going to do this, but i have to tell you about an earthquake which has been felt now hull. i havejust an earthquake which has been felt now hull. i have just had a an earthquake which has been felt now hull. i havejust had a quick look at a graph, where is this from, the british geological survey. they are very reliable. i can see that there was a tremor at about 11:15pm, and of course in these instances we turn to social media, don't we, to see what people are saying. some
11:31 pm
very funny comments. " the earth moved beneath yorkshire, we thought the g plan had a dog underneath". dave lu key says, the g plan had a dog underneath". dave lukey says, "earthquake in hull, the lamest title for an action movie". so in that part of the country, lincolnshire and east yorkshire, there are reports of a minor earthquake. do we know what scale? i don't know this details. but you are edgy greg foe. yes, but i don't have a size mcgrath and eat their desks. terribly sorry. -- seismograph. everybody says that seems to be what has happened. saturday night in hull, how exciting. somebody says, i've been in half —— exciting. somebody says, i've been in half -- in exciting. somebody says, i've been in half —— in bed for half an hour and the earth hasn't moved for me yet. it is getting a bit fruity. let's look at the front pages, they have nothing to do with the earthquake. the sunday telegraph's main story is a warning to tory mps from two senior conservative backbenchers, that they must back theresa may's
11:32 pm
plans for brexit, or risk giving power to jeremy corbyn. amber rudd and iain—duncan smith have written a joint article for the paper. the front page of the sunday express is also focused on brexit. it says theresa may has been critical of members of the house of lords for not backing her proposals. the brexit theme, but with a different twist appears elsewhere too. billing an exclusive, the sunday times claims to have seen emails to and from the biggest donor to the brexit campaign, arron banks. it claims that at the time of the referendum campaign, he and his colleagues made repeated contact with russian officials to discuss business. the mail on sunday, which also backed a remain vote in the referendum, carries the same story. it says mr banks had three meetings with the russian ambassador. responding to what he's called a witch—hunt mr banks played down the significance of the meetings, describing two of them as "boozy lunches" and "having a cup of tea." and the independent front page features a different story. it says theresa may is opposed to softening her stance on policies to curb illegal immigration, despite calls for change from the home secretary.
11:33 pm
i have been talking this so long that the music stopped. let's begin with a couple of aspects of brexit. the sunday times, brussels to ambush may over free movement. yes, this is the european ambassador, we know from not which country he or she comes. but this person has warned that the eu negotiator, michel barnier, will put freedom of movement back on the table. this is of course another thing for theresa may to deal with. she had the threat of david davies resigning last week. she had boris johnson of david davies resigning last week. she had borisjohnson talking off—the—cuff, the only way he knows. apparently, according to this story, mps close to david davis said ten or more ministers were prepared to resign with him if he quit. whether oi’ resign with him if he quit. whether or not that is true, we don't know. but this story about freedom of
11:34 pm
movement, if we want frictionless trade, the eu is expected to demand continued freedom of movement. sajid javid, the new home secretary, has torn up loans, apparently, to offer european migrants preferential access to britain. that has put him at odds with other ministers and the treasury. this is one of the basic tenets of membership of the eu. yes, this is the point. there has been a suspicion for some time that this is michel barnier's gameplan. the idea may be that we make such a mess of it at ourend, may be that we make such a mess of it at our end, which we are doing at the moment, because we cannot agree oi'i the moment, because we cannot agree on what kind of customs arrangement we might want for the republic of ireland, but that the arrears, this is why boris went totally bonkers the other day. —— the theory is. he was worried about the uk orbiting around the eu. to have freedom of movement, we would have to have some kind of access to the single market, so kind of access to the single market, so joining kind of access to the single market, sojoining the kind of access to the single market, so joining the european kind of access to the single market, sojoining the european economic area, for instance. michel barnier
11:35 pm
would like us to be with the single market, with the customs union, in other words, in the eu. market, with the customs union, in otherwords, in the eu. and of course we would have absolutely no say on anything that is going on. it can't happen, because that wouldn't be brexit. i don't think most people would accept that. well, yes, but she has got so little wiggle room for negotiating. but that would cross, for negotiating. but that would ci’oss, you for negotiating. but that would cross, you know, two of the red lines. can ijust ask cross, you know, two of the red lines. can i just ask you, cross, you know, two of the red lines. can ijust ask you, as a straw poll of two people but i'm not going to answer! do you remember anybody mentioning islands in the heated pre— referendum conversation? —— ireland. heated pre— referendum conversation? -- ireland. i do. lawyers. heated pre— referendum conversation? -- ireland. ido. lawyers. lawyers that i spoke to. we should have listened to them for a change. your favourite experts. let's look at another aspect of brexit. back theresa mayjeremy corbyn will get m, theresa mayjeremy corbyn will get in, rebels hold. what is interesting about this one, two people who would
11:36 pm
have opposed each other until now, amber rudd, the former home secretary, a staunch remain, and iain duncan smith, who was very much involved in the leave campaign, they have got together and written a joint article, the audience is supposed to be tory mps who will vote this coming week on the eu withdrawal bill, saying to them, whatever you do, backed the prime minister, because if you don't, what is going to happen is thatjeremy corbyn could get in. these suggestions air is obviously that theresa may would have to fall, a leadership contest destabilising the current arrangement, and we could be back to another general election. current arrangement, and we could be back to another general electionm is about whether they think it is a risk worth taking. can they vote against the government, but hold on their prime vista? well, i don't. .. she has such a slim majority. no majority. yes, no majority. i mean, she is there with a paper round
11:37 pm
arlene foster, isn't she? ijust wonder, we are only in this mass of brexit because of the tories. who insisted. it has held the nation hostage. intel david cameron hostage, and he held the country hostage, and he held the country hostage, leaving us with this appalling mess. i don't think they care, actually. i don't think they do care about... no mp i have met once another general election. there is an election fatigue. i'm sure that's true, but the hard core, who are so that's true, but the hard core, who are so hellbent, and people who do not want the house of lords to have any say, i think they would push. let's look at this story, also in the sunday telegraph. at no point in gagging orders, if names are online, says topjudge. gagging orders, if names are online, says top judge. —— there gagging orders, if names are online, says topjudge. —— there is no point. these are those injunctions that can be granted of celebrities wa nt that can be granted of celebrities want a story held up. i couldn't afford one. and i'm sure there's
11:38 pm
nothing interesting about me that i would want to have hushed up. i hope. thejudges are would want to have hushed up. i hope. the judges are saying these are hope. the judges are saying these a re pointless hope. the judges are saying these are pointless because social media is ahead of the game. yes, this is lord jonathan nance, he is outgoing, standing down on his 75th birthday. he has done quite a long interview with the sunday telegraph. we have all known this, as journalists, that we have not been able to name the celebrity who has got the gagging order against them, even though everybody knows exactly who it is. in fact, lord jonathan nouns was one of the people who did actually uphold a of the people who did actually ld a gagging of the people who did actually uphold a gagging order in the only celebrity privacy case to reach the highest court. but it is bonkers, in today's world of social media, if everybody knows who it is. absolutely right. it seems that outlets like my own sunday mirror and the bbc can't name somebody, while social media is discussing them. my understanding, of course, is that social media had also been
11:39 pm
in contempt in the same way that we would have been held in contempt for doing it. so the only question about this is, is this not encouraging social media to put the names out there? yes, it is a sort of levelling down, not levelling up. that's right. the whole idea had been that every —— if you prosecuted people on social media for revealing names when they shouldn't, it would be the same thing as us getting prosecuted. i do think that once the name is out there, it is a bit silly... only if it is true. the thing about social media is that there is no verification. there is a question about court cases in general. back in the day, when i worked for paddy ashdown, some of you will remember, you know, what happened and how he got his moniker of pa nts—down, that happened and how he got his moniker of pants—down, that story was published in scotland because scotla nd published in scotland because scotland has different rules. i don't know whether it still does, i
11:40 pm
guess it probably does. that was in the days before social media was knocking around. so in scotland you could read it, you could read the story, but not in england. and we have the same thing, where other nationalities, other european countries or the united states will publish something that we cannot do it here. let's move on to the independence for a couple of stories. —— and be independent force that theresa may creates hostile environment for sajid javid. this is following the windrush scandal. yes, this goes to the discomfort of the prime minister to appoint sajid javid in the first place. she was hoping to put in the northern ireland secretary, karen gladly. —— carol bradley. she wanted another woman in the role because of losing amber rudd. it was pointed out that because of windrush, he was second generation, another immigrant, it just looked better. sajid javid has come in and he wants to change an
11:41 pm
awful lot of the policies that reason they had. one of the problems is that some of this stuff was in the tory manifesto. what she said was that she was going to be tough oi'i was that she was going to be tough on illegal immigrants. and she is insisting at the moment that sigh you juddered is too. insisting at the moment that sigh youjuddered is too. —— sajidjavid. he is balking about that at the moment, as ministers do when the prime minister is not very strong. it isa prime minister is not very strong. it is a struggle of wills, theresa may was speaking about this to reporters at the g7 in canada. she obviously feel strongly that she wants the home office to operate based on a manifesto commitment on the way she handled it. yet there was such an outcry after it was discovered that people who had been here since windrush... discovered that people who had been here since windrush. .. who are com pletely here since windrush. .. who are completely legal. yes, who had been here the decades. the point is, they we re here the decades. the point is, they were legal. those people should never have ended up... of course not. at the hostile environment that she created allowed people,
11:42 pm
actually, to not be sensible, to get rid of records such as they were, and to go on to, if you like, soft targets with people who could not produce the ridiculous levels of information. the argument was that that was a clock up. it doesn't mean that was a clock up. it doesn't mean that you don't actually crack down on illegal immigrants. absolutely, but you would think sajid javid on who has gone into calm things down after amber rudd had to leave, perhaps he knows a little bit better about doing it softly, softly, and talking to people. does it also begs a question of how much freedom the home secretary has to run their department as they see fit? well, they actually could have run that department within the commitments made in the manifesto, for a start. not with the former home secretary, who is now prime minister, continuing to be in the driving seat. well, she is the boss. in fairness, she is the boss and every cabinet minister has to ultimately defer to her. apart from boris johnson. well, the problem is, if
11:43 pm
only she had a majority even boris couldn't get away with it. there you go. staying with the independent. south africa's first black rugby cap ten leaves england feeling blue. —— captain. we are going to leave this tojo captain. we are going to leave this to jo tonight. only because nigel didn't even know a rugby match was going on. i knew that, but not much more. it is a fantastic picture, as the independent often gives us. it isa the independent often gives us. it is a wonderful moment of celebration for south africa, actually. probably not much for the england team, who we re not much for the england team, who were thrashed 42— 39, having been ten points up in the first ten minutes. the real significance is that this is the first like captain of the springboks. —— black. as we heard earlier, in the sports
11:44 pm
bulletin, years ago he would not even have been allowed to be in the same area as his teammates. now he is out there as the cap ten, siya kolisi. a great day. —— captain. great day for south africa at england's expense. yes, but still a great picture and a great story. we've got the world cup, don't we? you can look forward to that. yes nigel, we can't wait. yes, we will have a wonderful time when that comes on. i havejust have a wonderful time when that comes on. i have just been looking again on twitter, the british geological survey has tweeted that they have received reports of tremors in the area. they say that their seismologists on the case and they will verify whether there has been an earthquake as soon as they can. they have been some reports that it was about 3.6 or 3.9 magnitude, but let's leave it to the british geological survey of,
11:45 pm
because they are the experts. 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. thank you, nigel and jo. goodbye. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, mark kermode is back with us. good to see you. what have you been watching, mark? a very mixed bag. we have jurassic world: fallen kingdom — the dinosaurs are back again.
