23 or maybe 2a celsius. as we head on into thursday, a very different feel to the weather. it will be windy, maybe even gales across parts of scotland, as this atlantic low brings a band of rain that will sink southwards and eastwards across the country through the day. tending to weaken as it reaches eastern parts. so, we are starting the new week on a dry and warm note. lots of sunshine. then it turns unsettled, midweek onwards, with some wind and rain in the forecast and also turning a bit fresher, too. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. president trump is in singapore for an historic summit on denuclearisation with north korean leader, king jong—un. mr trump described it as a "one—time shot" at peace and said both leaders were in "unknown territory".

mr kim arrived several hours earlier and was greeted by singapore's prime minister. his summit with mr trump will take place on tuesday. it was all smiles at the start of the g7 summit two days ago, but tonight us officials launch a stinging attack on canada'sjustin trudeau, over trade talks tory mps are urged to rally round theresa may as the government prepares for a series of crucial parliamentary votes on brexit. and coming up shortly, meet the author speaks to the american novelist kevin powers about his second novel a shout in the ruins. it is all perfectly under control! hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the parliamentary tony grew,

and the broadcaster and writer caroline frost. lelito haribo here. —— lovely to have you both here. many of the front pages are already in. let's start with the financial times, where the continuing fallout from the terse exchange of tweets following the end of the g7 summit is their top story. the metro also has the souring relationship between the us and its allies as its top story. the times focusses on comments made by the white house economic adviser that the president had been ‘stabbed in the back‘ following comments by the canadian prime minister. the guardian leads with the news some mps have called for the links between prominent leave backer aaron banks and the kremlin to be investigated further. the i has the rallying call put out to conservative mp s to support the prime minister ahead of a series of crucial brexit votes in parliament this week on its cover. and the sun highlights what it calls a stunning lack of security surrounding new f35jets at raf

marham, which the paper claims are protected by a low fence. let's begin with something other than brexit. i can hear a collective sigh, but not for long. the daily telegraph, four social media firms to protect children. who is proposing is and how will it be done? as you say, this has been of much discussion for years, as the great strength of gaming and social media is taking a grip on a generation that have never really known anything else. we like to think that we can control ourselves as adults because we had a life before social media and online gaming came along. but these children don't have that experience. what has happened is, let me get his name right, peter wanless, what has happened is, let me get his name right, peterwanless, but what has happened is, let me get his name right, peter wanless, but if executive of the national society for the prevention of cruelty to children, he says a record number of children, he says a record number of children are suffering from depression, stunted social skills, and inability to cope with real life and inability to cope with real life
10:34 pm
and the great horror of cyber—bullying, which has often had a tragic repercussions. when you think of our generation, the biggest problem we had was going home from school and moaning we didn't have the right trainers or something. it seems so innocent the right trainers or something. it seems so innocent in comparison. clearly they are saying that enough is enough and it is now up to these firms making such profit out of these children to think about regulation. what incentive do they have to do this question of no incentive, that is why the government notjust incentive, that is why the government not just us to act, but should have acted a decade ago. these companies are using sophisticated technology to target children. in that they are harming children. in that they are harming children. we would not allow any other business or sector to behave in this way. what would happen to a betting shop that allowed a 14—year—old to go in and place a bet? they would be fined or shutdown. a newsagent that sold pornography to a child under 18, they could go to prison. tech companies, since their inception, since the internet became an everyday thing in peoples lives has
10:35 pm
been treated like an exception. from the political class, there has been a sense that we cannot do a thing about it. twitter is an international company. we can't do anything about it. now the focus is on children and hopefully it means that people, the legislators who are supposed to protect us, have a particular duty of care to protect children, they will start to do something about it and that involves fines and prison sentences for the people that run these companies that will not take responsibility in this country seriously. do we have the laws to cover that? a lot of these tech guppies have said we are not publishers, how much stems from that, we are platforms? that decision was made in the us and does not apply here. the problem is that we can't legislate, basically, for the first five or six years of the tech bubble, the government saw these people as demigods, they could do no wrong. they are making is a digital and connected nation. that is why these companies behave in a reckless way that they do. to put it
10:36 pm
in context, it says a quarter of uk schoolchildren spend more than six hours a day online. almost a quarter of children. that is the extreme numbers. on average, three or four hours a day. and it is difficult to prise them off. i'm always saying it's not good for you having a light in yourface it's not good for you having a light in your face before it's not good for you having a light in yourface before bed. it is really ha rd to in yourface before bed. it is really hard to stop. what we are seeing is more and more generations coming through who have never known anything else. it is increasingly difficult for parents. they have all sorts of discussions. do you get the internet completely off and have it asa internet completely off and have it as a treat at the weekend? do you heavily supervised and have it as something that is educational? good luck with that. it is increasingly difficult. i think anybody that says we will just difficult. i think anybody that says we willjust limit it is being quite naive if they think that is going to be up to the parents. the social media companies, more worryingly gambling companies, they are specifically targeting children using sophisticated psychological tools to make of. it shouldn't be

allowed, on tv advertising. tools to make of. it shouldn't be allowed, on tv advertisinglj tools to make of. it shouldn't be allowed, on tv advertising. i think the strongest penalties need to be brought in. guy, who is producing, he has told me there is an app to put on your phone to tell you when you have been using too much, you have been online too much. you can see what apple have done, they have made themselves part of the solution that they are very much the creators of. steve jobs restricted his kids' access ? of. steve jobs restricted his kids' access? the executives are saying enough is enough, some of this comes from silicon valley. let's look at the i, brexit is neverfar away. torres rallying for brexit showdown in the commons, a number of important in the commons, a number of im porta nt votes in the commons, a number of important votes on the eu withdrawal bill. a call for discipline from amber rudd, a remainer, and in devon smith, a lever, telling conservative mps to get behind the prime minister? last week was extreme turbulence in parliament, david davis was going to resign, and then
10:38 pm
he didn't, and then the awful compromises designed to hold the tory party together and have nothing to do with the uk national interest or the reality of our negotiating position. not exactly covering themselves in glory. last week, what happened on tuesday and wednesday, the eu withdrawal bill, and enabling bill that brings all of the eu law into uk law, and we can start to unpick that, it comes back from the lords, where the government back was defeated 15 times. it is unprecedented for the lords to show such displeasure with the commons and legislation. the key task for theresa may is to get the 15 amendments overturned. there has been loads of compromising going on, the government back or has compromised with the idea of giving parliament a meaningful vote on the final deal. it was the one issue they were defeated with in the commons back in december. the government has done a huge round of work, the whips and other people have done a huge amount of work to ensure there is not a significant enough tory rebellion and they don't lose votes next week. parliamentary arithmetic is pretty advocated because you have five or seven
10:39 pm
labour mps that are strong brexiteers and might rebel against their own whip. jeremy corbyn's position is slightly unclear. things like eea membership, it is great fun for parliamentary geeks like me. but my feeling is that the government ba rca my feeling is that the government barca will not face any defeats this week. that suggestion was that if she faced too many defeats, how secure is her future? she faced too many defeats, how secure is herfuture? but we have heard that many times. we have. the great thing in herfavour, the last year, even following the disastrous election result, i mean, disastrous in inverted commas, she is still in power. is it that they can't genuinely think of anybody they would rather have in that seat or anybody that wants to be carrying this hot potato. i would not be surprised if she sees it through to completion of the entire arrangement. then it might be time for somebody else. who would you trust in that seat other than
10:40 pm
theresa may? who is the grown up that we trust with this? who would wa nt that we trust with this? who would want the job? if you are sajid javid, jeremy hunt, one of the other 40 or 50 people that think they could be prime minister, you want theresa may to do the heavy lifting, get us out of the european union and come up with some sort of deal that is acceptable to the party. then you wa nt is acceptable to the party. then you want to become leader. boris johnson said that donald trump would be negotiating a much tougher deal on brexit. let's go to donald trump now. on tuesday, of course, important now. on tuesday, of course, im porta nt votes now. on tuesday, of course, important votes for us in the commons. also, this historic summit in singapore. the financial times is reporting that as the lead. trump lashes out at the g7 leaders and leaves the west in disarray. having said he would sign the joint communique, he then withdrew from it as well. toys, pram, separation. another week, another time i donald trump seemingly torn up the rule book but has escaped. all of the
10:41 pm
sta kes a re book but has escaped. all of the stakes are now on this meeting in singapore. if he pulls this off, it will be historic. he has already paved the way. he is calling this the most important meeting he has had. he has been preparing for this all his working life? are we sure he has been working on this way few yea rs ? has been working on this way few years? i don't know. as you say, com pletely years? i don't know. as you say, completely stormed out of the playground at the g7, saying that he was particularly busted and left very bemused and bewitched byjustin trudeau's behaviour, the way that canada had been treating the us. dishonest and wheat, that is what he said trudeau was. the germans said you have lost the trust of your european allies, but you get the feeling that donald trump's mind was on his way to singapore, the g7 summit was not on the agenda? he had to leave it early for a meeting he is having on tuesday, that doesn't make sense. it shows you how incredibly thin—skinned he is. he is
10:42 pm
not used to criticism, not used to people standing up to him and telling him what is what. that is what happened, the famous photo of angela merkel leaning forward, as macron tells him how it is. incredibly thin—skinned, completely out of his depth. he has no idea what he's doing. he has been played like a fool, in his mind, lashes out like a fool, in his mind, lashes out like a fool, in his mind, lashes out like a small child. but a significant number of americans back him because they wanted him to tear up him because they wanted him to tear up the rule book and act like this, they wanted him to turn out to the re st of they wanted him to turn out to the rest of the world and say america first, you have been onto our coat—tails for too long. the trade was, everybody. but it is historic in itself that they will sit down together? yes, there have been machinations because of china's assent to global power. the whole dynamic of the east and far are part of the world has changed. he has come along and you could say it is fortu nate
10:43 pm
come along and you could say it is fortunate that obama did not have this college tour events in his favour. but it does seem that were obama's softly softly approach, let's keep everything on an even keel let's keep everything on an even keel, did not succeed in reaching this kind of historic... you're going to hear this word so often this week, he has done it, perhaps it has met his light? kimjong—un is like no previous leader of north korea. i think that kim jong-un is considerably more intelligent and has a much stronger grasp of what is going on than trump. trump has stumbled into something he has no knowledge about. he could be played like a fool. the telegraph is doing very well out of this review. fund backs doctors over honest mistakes. —— hunt. backs doctors over honest mistakes. -- hunt. doctors do make mistakes, and a culture of compensation has grown up. and a culture of compensation has grown up. a doctor makes a mistake, law firms are out there that want
10:44 pm
you to sue. i hosted a meeting at a party conference years ago with some of the representatives of gps. what they found in a lot of cases is that where doctors have made an honest mistake, it had impacted the patient significantly, a lot of times what patients wanted more than money was an explanation and an apology. there was actually a healing process that could happen between doctor and patient, as opposed to it immediately become a matter for lawyers and compensation being paid. then what happens is that the doctors themselves become incredibly defensive, they don't want to admit mistakes because it would mean admitting liability and getting sued. i think it is about trying to change the culture around some of the way in which the nhs has become organised by lawyers. we don't want clinicians to be meek, they need to know they have the backing of the nhs. this reminded me of two stories i heard where somebody went into a gp surgery, had an appointment, and was horrified to see the gp looking
10:45 pm
up was horrified to see the gp looking up his symptoms on wikipedia. this seemed to him to be a real source of weakness, that the doctor was not all seeing, all knowing straightaway. somebody else said, isn't that wonderful, that a doctor would admit that he doesn't know everything and are still in the process of learning? as tony said, this is a new era perhaps transparency, as opposed to the worst—case scenario, playing the blame game, especially when people are horribly sick, ayling, and looking for somebody to blame. i support this and think it is a great move. let's finish with a man that is not wearing a shirt. he is at the top of the daily telegraph. i barely noticed him. poldark is back. this tongue in cheek entrance was worth the wait. we're not aficionados, but we know a woman who is?|j the wait. we're not aficionados, but we know a woman who is? i am not an aficionado of the topless man, it is of political drama, which we will see in series four. he is
