lift again. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first, the headlines. the home secretary announces a review into the medicinal use of cannabis in a move prompted by cases of children with epilepsy not having access to cannabis oil to control their seizures. five people have been injured after an small explosion at southgate tube station thought to have been caused by a battery short circuit. republicans in the us senate say migrant families should be kept together while their immigration status is determined —— as president trump faces increasing criticism for his zero tolerance policy. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will bring us tomorrow.

with me are the broadcaster and writer mihir bose, and the senior political correspondent for the times, lucy fisher. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the financial times reports jitters on global markets over fears of a trade war between the united states and china. the telegraph says the culture secretary thinks children should have their mobile phones taken off them at the school gate. the guardian leads with the head of gchq warning that they provide intelligence that all of europe needs, and that he hoped this would continue after brexit (ani) the times goes with the same story, as well as reporting that rank and file police officers are asking for cannabis laws to be re—written (ani) the express claims that three quarters of british workers will not be able to afford retirement. the daily mail reports a warning on the health risks of using cannabis from nhs chief executive simon stevens (ani) and the sunsays that twenty one million people watched england beat tunisia in the world cup yesterday — more than watched the royal wedding.

so a varied set of front pages. let's look at some of them in a bit more depth. (cs guests) we are talking about the separation issue in the united states. do you wa nt to issue in the united states. do you want to talk about this. trump ally says it is not like the nazis. the picture to my mind is remarkable. children separated from their pa rents children separated from their parents being led in 38 degrees to these tents were they have been kept in cages without toys and books. absolutely remarkable comments from him today, on the basis the nazis

wa nted him today, on the basis the nazis wanted to keep juice him today, on the basis the nazis wanted to keepjuice inside the country. a pretty shocking start. what are we to make of this sort of argument. what is going on? this is surface tree at an amazing level. denial. trump said, we've got to stop separation of the families but politically correct or not, we have a country that needs security. he is doing something and denying it. he is addressing his base, the people who elected him. he doesn't care what the world says. as far as he is concerned, the people who elected him, he is trying tojustify it on the ground. they used to be mr midget —— misdemeanour charge. that is done in a society where children have a base. in that picture that

lucy mentioned. it's like army camps. putting in bunkbeds and things like that. this is not what america are already civilised country, the world's greatest democracy, should be treating anybody. it may appeal to president trump's base but america is a mature democracy in which there are lots of checks and balances and there is a growing sense that this can't go on happening. this can't continue. even within president trump's own party which is diverged from him and his politics in very many ways, cruise today saying this is not an a cce pta ble today saying this is not an acceptable sustainable policy. i think it will be interesting to see what happens. there is some sense thatis what happens. there is some sense that is so shocking it will act as a deterrent. could this bring down the

numbers of families and individuals trying to bridge the border? possibly. you are then try to claim it as possibly. you are then try to claim itasa possibly. you are then try to claim it as a big victory. let's move on. the front page of the guardian. gchq chief warns britain and the need for a brexit security deal. this is the first time, and he's the boss, who has said what britain does. he said has said what britain does. he said has supplied information which is self the europeans break up a potential security risk and he has given detailed risks. normally intelligence chiefs to give details of what they are doing in other parts of the country. the reason for this is the eu has been making threatening noises that of britain believes the eu, the corporation that has been going on will end so basically, this is a warning shot,

saying we are giving a lot of information that you need and if you throw us out, you're putting yourself at risk. this is a political intervention? it's unprecedented to have a gchq boss make this kind of diplomatic intervention in politics. it comes after the eu warned that the uk may be kicked out of galileo, the alternative gps satellite system which the uk has contributed an awful lot to, and expertise. michel barnier saying that the uk won't be able to participate in the european arrest warrant, will be on the board of europol. it is a shot across the bow. if you kick is out of the club and don't allow us corporation, your own citizens will suffer. let's move on to the front page of the times, the story within running all weekend

about cannabis. this is an interesting intervention by the police federation, the body of the police, about these laws. for the first time, the police basically saying that our own drugs policy isn't working. millions of people are taking cannabis. it's impossible to police it. the laws were written a long time ago and we need to look at it. also, the call from lord haig, the former conservative leader, that cannabis should be legalised. not everybody supports that but the figure the times gives us, a0 million britons, a third of the population have used cannabis for recreational purposes. there is an ongoing debate, should cannabis be treated as a recreational drug. it is going back to the slogan of the 60s. you remember it well. absolutely. interesting with the

same “— absolutely. interesting with the same —— the same story, there are serious worries about cannabis use. there are, but they stemmed from concerns about the strongest strains of cannabis were as actually, if they decriminalised or legalised it, it would be an argument introducing softer strains into society. ifind it very frustrating that so many politicians, when they are not in office, david cameron, before he became prime minister, william hague, coming out very much in support of overhauling the drugs policy yet those in office can never quite seem to face down more socially conservative parts of the country. hopefully there might be some movement, up country. hopefully there might be some movement, up to people talking about the medical use of marijuana, and the third of britons admitting to using it, there will be some movement. let's go to the telegraph.

confiscating children's phones at the school gate. he was saying this? that is the culture secretary, matt hancock. he doesn't allow his children, his three children to have mobile phones. he says that it affects, it increases cyber bullying. also, if you have a phone in front of you, it might affect your intelligence. the phone should be confiscated when they go into school. the use of mobile phones by children is bad and it should be stopped. but it might take a strong head teacher to enforce a law like that. i think that's right. as the chief of the nspcc says, social media firms are acting like drug barons. that's how addictive social

media is the children. this adverse effect on the concentration and ability to learn. there is also cyber bullying. i quite support the move. eton college seems to have introduced this policy. if other people have phones, they don't want to be left out that there is a blanket ban, the children themselves can see that it allows them to socialise and learn with greater ease. you have to have a policing syste m ease. you have to have a policing system about taking the phones off. it would be quite competent mate —— —— quite complicated. that would cause enormous problems in the classroom. that's true, they would have to come up with some sort of system. i wonder how old matt hancock's children are. let's go to the front page of the financial times. more here about the trade war and us china relations. basically, what this is saying is, as a result

of the tariffs that donald trump has imposed on what he might further impose, the first time, the shanghai market has gone down, the hong kong market has gone down, the hong kong market has gone down, the hong kong market has gone down and even the share price of certain companies, boeing in america, volkswagen in germany, supermarkets have taken a hit and so far, despite what people have said, the markets have been soaring. the stock markets have been absolutely booming despite the fact that many felt that he would have a bad effect on the market. this is the first indication that markets are going down and reacting. comments by the treasury secretary and so on, we import far more than china. we have the upper hand and we can impose even more. that is causing a great deal more concerned. interesting if it leads to any reversal. his always said, judge me,

we've seen the index slide by i%, big exporting nations hit in particular. you just wonder because one of the big unknown is here is how different his policies have been on trade and tariffs. esat these on $50 billion worth of chinese imports with threats to target a further $200 billion. lesko back to the times. here it is. nondrinkers die earlier. this is going to be one of those stories. as a non non—drinker, this is a nice story. this is saying something the doctors say you shouldn't do, it is saying that if you drinka shouldn't do, it is saying that if you drink a bit, you shouldn't do, it is saying that if you drinka bit, you might shouldn't do, it is saying that if you drink a bit, you might first of all live longer, you might not get cancer, you might not get heart

disease and what have we had for the la st disease and what have we had for the last few years, how many points do you drink? how many units? you've got to reduce alcohol levels. the queen 's university belfast has made a study of 99,654 people aged above 55 in the united states as to what happens if they don't have any drink, if they have a glass a day maybe or something like that. they are found if you don't have any, you actually are likely to die earlier so actually are likely to die earlier so this is a great licence for people who think you should drink a bit which is wonderful news. they do all sorts of things that are

good for them. you think they do all sorts of things that are good for them. you think of they do all sorts of things that are good for them. you think of someone who has a glass of wine and socialising a bit more but it is counter intuitive. we have in told every single drink you have poses a risk and increases risk of cancer. and this has the opposite. we are going to have to leave it there. thank you very much indeed. you can see the front pages online. next, is the author. a tumultuous

marriage, two writers are driven by passion driven together than pull them apart as europe slips towards war. an extraordinary story of two writers thrown together in the chaos of the spanish civil war and hopelessly in love but driven by individual passions that could not survive their marriage. we are talking about a tempestuous marriage, to put it mildly. let's

in the 19305, so she met hemingway in 1936, and he was about to go off to the spanish civil war. see, it's impossible to leave him to the side, he won't be left to the side, and that was really her first war and she was 28—years—old. for the rest of her life, she found her true calling as a storyteller and her voice as a journalist and then she went on to be one of the most significant war correspondents of the 20th century, and had a nearly 60 year career as a journalist. a large part of the book takes place in spain, and at one point, we're listening to gellhorn‘s own voice, she says that she's been in madrid for three weeks, and it feels as if she's been there for years, because of the intensity. she lived in the hotel florida, along with most of the other foreigners in madrid at the time, and it was a mile's walking distance from the nearest front. madrid in that time, spring 1937, had been besieged by franco's army for months and her hotel was being shelled nearly every single day.

this is how she came of age. we are talking of course about the spanish civil war, but with the shadow of the world war already hovering over europe, and the whole atmosphere of your book, telling the story of this stormy romance has that sense of a wartime story. yes, the shadows were falling all over europe. i think what made gellhorn incredibly angry at the time, was the larger world and critically the states, nobody seemed to understand how spain's plight affected all of us. but anybody who was image read at the time knew that this was maybe the last chance to stop fascism where it stood, and franco was forming these terrible alliances with hitler and mussolini and of course we know that terrible story. and yet, of course, this is not a story about politics primarily or states at war, it is a story about two people and their minds and their passions. hemingway is such an extraordinary character.

it's very difficult to imagine how anybody could live with the man! it does matter too though, that she fell in love with him in this. can you imagine the intensity of this situation, to be at war and it was such a noble war, and she was maybe coming alive for the first time to her life's purpose, and of course falling in love rather disastrously with a married man. she was coming awake to herself and also incredibly i think impressed by him, under those circumstances, the way that he taught her what a war was. she could not help herself. as the story progresses, i think we all recognise the way that you tell the tale, that it is doomed from the beginning. i think probably because they were too much alike, and everything that he admired about her from the very beginning, her conviction, her social conscience, her passion,

her intensity, her independence, all of those things, once they later married in 19a0, he was threatened by those things, because of course he wanted her to be his wife. and he wanted her in the end to be subservient, and it was his talent which was to prevail, although he might have tried to persuade himself from time to time that that was not true, that was the truth. he had to prevail, didn't the? he had to prevail, didn't he? i think he did. if i was going to psychologise him, which i think is now my second job, psychologising ernest hemingway, i think a lot of that had to do with his own parents' marriage. his mother, in his mind, had way too much authority in his parents' marriage. his father committed suicide when he was 29 years old. he blamed his motherfor that. he never forgave her... and of course he went the same way. he went the same way. but in his mind, if a woman had too much control, notjust in the marriage or in the home, but in his own heart, he felt too vulnerable. it is a psychologist‘s dream, or a psychiatrist‘s dream i suppose, seeing these two trying to live

under the same roof, knowing that it probably couldn't last and they might as well enjoy it? their love letters though from that time are so, so intense and they really do prove that they loved each other deeply, but understood each other. i think that the thing that drew them together, this intensity helped them in the beginning cement a bond that later would unravel, for the same reasons that they both had these enormous personalities and kind of a hunger for the intensities of life. what a story to tell. they say only trouble is interesting and there was plenty of trouble for them. but their love relationship to me is so, oh, it tells the story for the modern age, too. we all want to have it all, to be able to have a career, but also love and family, and they really wanted

the same things. how did you go about trying to tell the story? why did you choose the point of view that you had chosen, and how did you get the voice? well, her point of view was the one i was interested in from the very beginning. i never thought i'd write another book about hemingway, and yet i had this dream a couple of years ago where i was fishing. literally? literally a dream. i was fishing with hemingway in the gulf stream and he was up on the flying bridge and looking ratherfabulous, but then i noticed there was another woman on board, and as i watched in the dream, a marlin crested out of the gulf and this woman put a piece of bait in the fish's mouth. and when she turned and faced me it was martha gellhorn, and when i woke up the next morning i was kind of struck and wondering if i had been given some sort of a sign and i googled her. i googled her over a coffee the next day, and of course i had done all this research on hemingway. i knew who she was,

but i did not know who she was. i didn't know the arc of her life and her accomplishments, and so it was really her. i became obsessed with her. i understood that even though i had written about hemingway 19205, that this was a very different character. the world was a much darker place and i just wanted to fall into the whole storm of it. she became a great writer and journalist in the course of her long life. she was also a woman of great passions as you have explained. what is it about her that makes her a special subject as a central character in a novel? i think she was a true original. i don't know if there was anyone like her who ever lived. the fact that she was probably born with this intensity, that couldn't really be quenched by life, took on all kinds of great adventures, travelled to over 60 countries in her life, published 1a books. her point of view is i think so interesting and so fresh, and she still has things to teach us, the fact that as her own woman, she had all of these

extraordinary adventures, for instance, when she took on that first war. she met hemingway, he was going over to madrid, she wanted to go and bear witness to this war. she had no credentials, she had no formaljob, and so what she did was write an article for vogue magazine. they paid her $300, and then got over to france, and then crossed the border from france to spain on foot, alone in the middle of the night with $50 rolled up and tucked in her boot and a map and no spanish. and this fake letter that she had bagged from an editor friend in new york saying martha gellhorn is a special correspondent for a magazine. she was nothing of the kind. she lied her way over. she just went over on pure nerve. in other words, it is notjust a story about talent, it is a story about courage. about courage and something else. something more like i don't know, chutzpah, grit. we know it when we see it. yes, we know it when we see it. paula mclain, author of
