hello. this is bbc news. do you mind? honestly. 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, kim jong—un. mr trump described it as a "one—time shot" at peace. 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's justin trudeau, over trade talks taking place. tory mps are urged to rally round theresa may as the government prepares for a series of crucial parliamentary votes on brexit.

i think ithinki i think i need to start to run a tighter ship. 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. welcome. many of the front pages are already in. you would hope that at this time of night. 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 splash. the times focuses 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 links between prominent leave backer aaron banks and the kremlin to be investigated further. the top story in the i is the rallying call put out to conservative mps to support the prime minister, ahead of a series of crucial brexit votes in parliament this week. the daily mail reports that following a campaign by the paper, the defence secretary has shelved plans that would have meant afghan

translators who worked for the british army would been forced to leave the uk. the sun highlights what it says is the poor security surrounding new f35jets at raf marham, which the paper claims are only protected by a low fence. sorry, wrong graphic. and finally, the top story in the daily express is the pioneering new treatment for heart attack patients being tested in the uk. the times. graduation selfies leading to a surge in first—class fa ke leading to a surge in first—class fake degrees. apparently it is up 30%. the selfie generation take photos of themselves and their certificate, allowing forgers to make high—quality copies which are sold on line for up to £220 which i used to deceive prospective employers. —— are used. it is not

just 0xbridge, but cardiff, london, many others, and some are offering digital solutions that cannot be faked. who would have thought? i do not think i can even find my. the fa ct not think i can even find my. the fact they are high enough quality to lift off the internet... fact they are high enough quality to lift off the internet. .. sold on ebay for £6, and with free delivery! what is interesting is it is tapping into, anecdotally, the niece of a friend of mine spent three years studying for a law degree, they rushed to put her picture on facebook, and she was more satisfied by the number of likes for the picture than the three years of study or the graduation ceremony itself. that is creating a business in itself. telling the selfie
11:34 pm
generation, a bunch of students, not to put their picture on facebook is asking for the world. this is perhaps a bit of a disincentive, but being ripped off might stop it.|j would ask them not to pout so much in selfies as well. the other thing is employers even asking you for certificates, i do not think i have ever been asked! me either. a lot more checking goes on these days. they should be more concerned about some of the social media posts than your degree. you would be terrified if you bought one and you knew you had, i would if you bought one and you knew you had, iwould be if you bought one and you knew you had, i would be sitting... if you bought one and you knew you had, iwould be sitting... if if you bought one and you knew you had, i would be sitting... if i got a newjob on the basis of that, i would be waiting for a tap on the shoulder! employers will have to check out with the universities themselves. or move towards digital
11:35 pm
certificates. it is already happening. we will stay with the times. they will take up a big part of this review. donald trump stabbed in the back by the g7, which is what his advisers are saying as he left early for the next summit at singapore. we had donald trump growing his toys out of the pram, then an hour later, you have the times saying donald trump is the do—gooder in the face of nasty g7 people. he ripped up the accepted etiquette, instead of making agreements and moving forward. donald trump is having none of it. steel tariffs on the rest of the world. he is sticking to his
11:36 pm
protectionist agenda which got him elected. he is the beast that is. he has done to singapore with a spring in his step feeling no one understands in. people were already saying they would not be a joint communique. angela merkel said the trust has been broken and you have upset your european allies. at the same time, donald trump is than i wa nt same time, donald trump is than i want free trade the world over while imposing tariffs. i do not understand why you are trying to make sense of donald trump. he is very thin—skinned. what happened as he felt he was... he feels he is being overshadowed byjustin trudeau so being overshadowed byjustin trudeau so he lashes out. now he has economic advisers and advises on trade going on fox news to say there isa trade going on fox news to say there is a special place in hell for any foreign leader emerging in bad faith with diplomacy with donald trump. i
11:37 pm
suspect his european allies will harden against. the times says there are fears the next target of his anger will be nato are the cornerstone of the western alliance against russia. he said russia should be admitted to the gs, but it was rejected because they invaded crimea and the ukraine. is he this stupid, or is his ego more important than the trade position of the us? it puts britain in a difficult position. posts brexit, america is supposed to be the great hope for free trade. first, obama said we would not be the first in the queue. then we had handholding with theresa may. i have taken heart. we have had
11:38 pm
so may. i have taken heart. we have had so much information about theresa may being kicked to the curb and this great relationship with macron. now we have the cold shadow stretched over the rest of the european leaders as well and suddenly theresa may is not looking so suddenly theresa may is not looking so isolated because she agrees with eve ryo ne so isolated because she agrees with everyone else who will be part of the communique. in the context of brexit, as each day passes with the administration, it seems we are stuck with a choice of, the eu allies, just in terms of alignment, do we stick with europe and other partners like japan and canada and countries with long—standing and close relationships, or do we threw it all in with unpredictable donald trump? —— throw. donald trump cares about trump, not the uk. the choice is starting to look clear. the guardian. we will handle this with care. mps call for a police enquiry
11:39 pm
into the brexit donor's kremlin links. this is aaron banks. there was a report in the sunday times about e—mails between we do not know who, but involving aaron banks. he had more meetings with the russian ambassador that he previously admitted to. that is the nub of it. banks was summoned to a completely different enquiry on fake news with the brexit campaign. now some mps are calling for a separate investigation. it is important to say that last night banks said he was not involved in espionage, i saw him once, i saw the foreign ambassador twice, i do not care. that is the position he is taking. it does not matter how many times, the russians never thought brexit was going to happen. he said lunch,
11:40 pm
cups of tea, nothing to see. while this is interesting to the parliamentary people, to the man in the street, they will not know who banks is. he has walked away from ukip. but he is clearly an influential and wealthy player. the man in the street will say if these allegations are true, would she is completely denying, as you said, so what, does this... —— which he is. is brexit invalid? no, we continue to march towards march 19th come what may. last year the tory campaign seemed overfunded, it meant nothing. i understand people who are
11:41 pm
anti—brexit and big donations from powerful men who shift the powers that be, i don't know the value of it given so much to worry about. russia uses... it is acknowledged they do this. they used soft warfare, undermining, you know, disinformation campaigns and various things. and banks says, some of that stuff about fake news, it he is a much bigger issue. we are in an asymmetric war with russia. the guardian. following the marches to
11:42 pm
mark 100 years of some women getting the right to vote. and men over 21. previously, some men were prevented from voting. this is the times. widening the franchise. women dressed as suffragettes would have done this 100 years ago. they had banners of deeds not words. and look at the guardian's picture, very colourful. far more contemporary. different parts of the country, london, belfast, cardiff, edinburgh. this is in edinburgh. 100 years of progress in some respects, but not enough. you and i are sitting here absolutely taking for granted the right to vote and participate and
11:43 pm
have our voices heard. when you see this, you realise the great sacrifices made by our predecessor is to sit here and enjoyed it. —— predecessors. this is a day of reflection. but as you said, the battle is not completely won. the suffragettes were the ones who decided to be more militaristic than the suffragists. this was taken outside parliament. a statue was erected earlier this year to the first woman ever in parliament square. it shows how far we have to go. suffrage is not enough. some women in the uk are denied abortion rights. we have ceos saying they
11:44 pm
don't want women on the board because they cannot understand complex issues. more work is required. it has come to the fore again with the metoo, timesup, and equal pay revelations which affected the bbc. because we have a voice in parliament now, it is significantly easier to have that voice. we can only hope so. we are at the crest of the wave. in the last six months we have seen a great shift of awareness. a couple of weeks ago, when roseanne was cancelled, whether or not commercial organisations want to be seen doing the right thing, which is good for how they are perceived, social media is such a force, and social media is democratic and diverse, of course... and sometimes misogynistic. at least
11:45 pm
