11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. the prime minister, theresa may, is to set out plans to increase nhs spending in england. the home secretary has issued a special license allowing doctors to treat severely epileptic billy caldwell with illegal cannabis oil. it's prompted calls for wider access to the medication. the home office can no longer play a role, in fact play any role, in the administration of medication for sick children in our country. no other family should have to go through this sort of ordeal. work is continuing to make the glasgow school of art safe, following the fire which gutted the historic building. fire crews will remain at the scene throughout the night. in a moment, find out what mark kermode thinks of the all—female crime caper ocean's 8.
11:31 pm
the film review is coming up at 11.16. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are owen bennett, deputy political editor at huffpostuk, and the journalist and broadcaster penny smith. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. glad you came back. we thought we would come in and check out your biscuits, see if you got anything better. we'll start off with the sunday telegraph. the observer pictures the mackintosh building in glasgow destroyed by fire late on friday night, the paper leads on details of a £20 billion injection of extra cash for the nhs expected to be unveiled
11:32 pm
by theresa may tomorrow. the mail on sunday also leads with the announcement claiming the timing comes as mrs may faces "intense pressure" on her leadership ahead of the eu withdrawal bill debate on wednesday. the sunday express says theresa may's announcement will be accompanied by a crackdown on nhs waste and inefficiency in a bid to ensure all the extra money is well spent. the sunday telegraph reports the additional £384 million per week into the nhs after brexit exceeds the amount mooted by the official leave campaign. and the sunday times pictures 12—year—old billy caldwell being fed cannabis oil by his mother after the home office issued an emergency licence allowing him to have the medicine. the paper leads on its own investigation into uk crime figures claiming fewer than 5% of street robberies and burglaries are being solved. so most papers leading
11:33 pm
on theresa may's announcement tomorrow for a big funding boost for the national health service. i think it is time to turn to you now. that story broke this evening but has been brewing for a long time. we'll start with the telegraph. yeah, as you said in the introduction, the nhs is getting an extra £384 million per week. more than the £350 million that a vote leave promised. two huge assumptions here. number one is that we will get a brexit dividend, that the economy will not fall off the cliff after brexit, we will get those customs arrangements and a free—trade deal with the eu. everything will carry on fine, which means we will get that money back. that is assumption number one, lets assume that is right. number two, they haven't actually broken down how much of the money we will get back from this
11:34 pm
brexit dividend which will be going on the nhs and how much will be funded by extra warrell in, or rises in tax. —— borrowing. so when you start eating into it it is not quite the brexit bonus we were led to believe. —— are digging into it. hugh pym was talking about this earlier tonight, it is in the telegraph and the mail and the observer, it is everywhere. but the speech isn't until monday. by the time we get to the speech on monday, journalists like me will have combed through the figures, and when it comes to the press conference theresa may will hopefully give, the question will be, i minister, how much our taxes going to go up? who will pay for this? i think this is a risky strategy from the government. there is a quote from the labour party. this is jonathan there is a quote from the labour party. this isjonathan ashworth, labour's shadow health secretary. he says the nhs is in crisis after eight years of tory cuts and privatisation. today's announcement confirms theresa may failed to give the nhs funding it needs an much of the nhs funding it needs an much of the announcement today is based on wishful thinking. it goes on to talk
11:35 pm
about debt, at wishful thinking. it goes on to talk about debt, et cetera, failure to provide a funding package for social care. then it says labour would have invested nearly £9 billion extra this year in the nhs and social care while asking the wealthiest and big corporations to pay their fair share of tax. there will be a lot of people who say, no matter what happens with brexit, really, that should be happening more. happens with brexit, really, that should be happening morem happens with brexit, really, that should be happening more. if we turn to the observer they lead with the same story. but they point out that the detail will not be spelt out until the budget, which is in autumn. because of ongoing arguments involving the chancellor, philip hammond, jeremy hunt, and number ten. so... i mean, when you look at the lead up to last year's aged, sajid javid, when he was committee secretary, tried to down is philip hammond into borrowing to fund more money from housebuilding boom. hammond resisted that. it could be that theresa may was trying to get him to borrow more money for the nhs. if your whole political
11:36 pm
strategy is that you need to reduce the amount of money the government is borrowing, if you say, actually, we can break that promise for the nhs, and all of a sudden home secretary says, we can do that for policing. all of a sudden michael gove says, we can have that farming subsidies. if you break the rule, which is what they seem to have done here, it isjust which is what they seem to have done here, it is just a complete shift in their political viewpoint. some people will say this is just running after labour. labour promises to borrow money, we will borrow more. is this fiscally responsible? some people would say it isn't. this brexit event, the different amounts that have been mentioned in different papers, i wonder if russell ‘s new about this. —— brexit dividend. when anybody suggests that this is what is going to happen, it has not been done before and we have i'io has not been done before and we have no idea. it is back to the telegraph. this is following on from the billy caldwell story. the government is set to review medical cannabis after sajid javid stepped
11:37 pm
in today. a no—brainer, wasn't it? it was. we saw that clip of charlotte caldwell saying no other family should ever have to go through this. she shouldn't have had to go through this. she absolutely should not have. this was something which helped her son, who is having so which helped her son, who is having so many fits a day, and this has been helping him reduce the amount of its. he had to go into hospital. because it had been withdrawn. now, it shouldn't have happened. the home office should have said, yes, of course. this obviously works. and also, from that, we should then say, if it works for him, if it works for billy caldwell, what else can it help with? we know that it already helps people with certain symptoms, for example, of multiple sclerosis. why on earth are we flailing about cannabis when we have morphine given in hospitals, we have opiates, we have other things which you can say are equally difficult to talk about, and yet we seem to be ok with that. i had and yet we seem to be ok with that. ihada and yet we seem to be ok with that. i had a quote earlierfrom, i think
11:38 pm
it was a medical professional, saying that this in is the press to blame for the way they cover cannabis and the whole negative aspect of it. yeah. i think often, when we have a conversation about drugs and what drugs are used for and drug legalisation, recreational drugs get put in alongside medicinal drugs. the conversation around both is far too immature in this country, and a lot of the papers and the press need to grow up when it comes to this conversation. there are people like norman baker, the lib dem minister, when he was in the home office and when he resigned his said, it was so difficult to have any serious conversation about drug reform in this country because of how the media is. it has taken this, this paul keating has 100 fits a day, to make some people in the press, some columnists to grow up a little bit and think, this is not about legalising party drugs and all that kind of stuff. it is about saying, what can we do to help people? we understand these drugs
11:39 pm
better, so that will be at least one good thing that comes out of it. i hope that grown—up conversation is what is sad. they have it in canada. they have legalised it. there was a protest outside parliament recently and mps came out and spoke about it. the flipside of that is that there are some people who want to legalise drugs for recreational purposes to do tend to onto these campaigns. so it needs to be grown—up on both sides. and it is a derivative, as well. you don't take the drug roar. it is treated. let's turn to be times —— the times. less than 5% of the recent robberies are actually solved. everybody here will be looking to see where, if it is they're part of the world, if it makes the list. yes, there are certain areas where you have to say, my goodness, this looks like it is just a green light for burglaries. there is one particular area, the dava shaddai all scum of the figures show that it is the only local authority area where no burglaries we re authority area where no burglaries were sold. —— be dava show dales,
11:40 pm
the figures show. —— derbyshire dales. there are certain areas where it is worse in certain areas where it is worse in certain areas where it is worse in certain areas where it is slightly better. there is a place called buttle said in sx which has introduced high visibility patrols across the district and it has sold 76% of crimes last year. —— essex. there are a number of comments from people saying many boots on the ground. that would help. it comes down to money, though. that would be one of the claims, not enough money for the police, the funding has not increase with inflation, those kinds of things. there is a slight attitude problem as well. i was a victim of burglary when i lived in nottingham. the police would come around and say, well, this is the most rubbish postcode in europe, what do you expect? i would say, well, postcode in europe, what do you expect? iwould say, well, i postcode in europe, what do you expect? i would say, well, i expect an investigation to be carried out. i would not be surprised if a lot of
11:41 pm
burglaries go unreported because people feel like actually, the police, what are they going to do? there's no point. ijust don't have to fill in all this paperwork. all that kind of stuff. i think people get very, very frustrated. that then feeds the sense that this is slightly out of control. it is a very intimate crime, isn't it? it is your safe zone. it sticks with you. iremember being your safe zone. it sticks with you. i remember being burgled many, many years ago, thank goodness. everybody knew who they were. everybody knew who the burglars were. there were things prince. always a giveaway. the scottish mail on sunday is our next paper. only one story that could possibly make the front page, with the question, how could it happen again? 2014 was the first fire. iwas happen again? 2014 was the first fire. i was reading up about this, and in 2014 the trust which was started to actually raise funds to go and rebuild it, £35 million,
11:42 pm
supposed to be finishing in february next year, led by brad pitt, at big fan of charles rennie mackintosh, and peter capaldi, as in doctor who, he was an art student there. they led the fundraising for this. and there was an architectural student who studied there and his said, you know, i bought a book, the first—ever book i bought about architecture, in it was 100 iconic buildings around the world and this was numberone. it buildings around the world and this was number one. it is an iconic, beautiful building, and now, with it being so devastated, i suppose the question is, if it has gone too far, is there a point to rebuild or is that therefore a copy of the mackintosh building? alan, we have one story to cover, if you could cover it for us. our half story for the night. the daily star on sunday. yeah, this is about but that we find
11:43 pm
a copy. the world cup, something like 200 million pints will be drunk during the month—long sporting bonanza. i think i'm doing about 50 million of them, doing my share. the world cup has kicked off, today was great, four games of football. if lionel messi is watching, missing that penalty... what happened? he missed a penalty against icelander and cost me and my mates a bit of money on gambling. did icelander win? 1-1. you are all over this, aren't you? parul lost. and i tell you this, aberdeen in scotland, they are supporting aberdeen because they have a player who is icelandic and is there anyone in the world cup. penny, thank you. our world cup correspondent. thank you for the papers. the film review is up next. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news.
11:44 pm
to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so mark, what do we have this week? we have ocean's 8, stanley a man of variety, a passion project of timothy spall, and rupert everett‘s the happy prince which is an oad to the last days of oscar wilde. ocean's 8, is it fun? it is fun. i went in feeling rather ambiguous about it, because actually, the ocean sequels have got progressively worse. this is an all—female gang planning an audacious jewellery heist. they want to steal a famous necklace from a famous neck. they have got to rope in a fashion designer, played by helena bonham carter. here's a clip.
