10:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — but first the headlines. four young men have been killed after two cars crashed in leeds in the early hours of this morning. police are appealing for information. patients in england may no longer be able to have some procedures that are deemed ‘ineffective‘. new proposals mean treatments ranging from tonsil removal to haemorroid surgery will be offered to fewer people. tata steel, which owns britain's largest steel—making plant at port talbot — has confirmed merger plans with the german industrial group, thyssenkrupp. tens of thousands of people have protested in america against president trump's immigration policies. the largest demonstrations were in washington, new york and los angeles. on meet the author this week is the

historian and novelist alison weir, who has written a book about jane seymour. 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 the sunday mirror and sunday people. and the political commentator, jo phillips. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer leads with coverage of a study which indicates that recent education reforms appear to have fuelled inequality in the schools system. the sunday mirror reports that prince william has vowed to make "a just and lasting peace" in the middle east his life's

mission — after a five day trip to the region. the independent on sunday claims that the eu's brexit negotiators have abandoned all hope of signing a deal with the uk at october's european union summit. the sunday telegraph says that one of donald trump's most trusted advisers has revealed to senior conservative mps that the us president wants to accelerate a post brexit trade deal. the sunday times also leads on brexit, saying the pm has told aides that she would stand and fight against any coup or vote attempting to oust her — by those opposed to her eu plans. the sunday express has a full page splash on the future of the nhs, claiming that in the not too distant future medical supplies will be delivered by drones and phones will warn of stroke risks. there we have it. i think we will
10:33 pm
start with your favourite subject? laughter liverpool what, the world cup? absolutely. the sunday times. this is the headline first of all. ahead ofa is the headline first of all. ahead of a big week for theresa may and brexit. yes and for those of us who are old enough to rememberjohn major saying back me or sack me in 1995 which led to his leadership, his second in ship victory, in the election. —— second leadership victory. she has had a dreadful week and you feed it can't get any worse but 36 tory mps have issued an open challenge in a letter, urging her to get tough with brussels —— feel. this is coming down to the mass of a vote of no—confidence which is 48
10:34 pm
mps, tory mps, they can trigger a vote of no—confidence, but it would require an hundred 59 if she stays on, by one vote —— 159. it shows the fury and the turmoil going on in the conservative party and meanwhile there is the go shooting. —— there is the negotiating. we are still negotiating with each other, as well as with brussels. they say that she will insist in a norway style brexit deal. which is a bit softer? yes, a squidgy brexit. laughter she is saying, this is what i watch, nicky devlin like it, take me on. what is interesting about the figures —— if you don't like it. if
10:35 pm
100 tory mps want her to go, she would axe to go, but if —— she would actually go, but if she could stay by one, she would stay. but she would be so damaged. the damage goes from week to week, she comes out of it again and it is fine. she might be damaged but you just out of the what would happen to the tory party if this takes place because we would head into the territory of a general election and they are terrified jeremy corbyn would win. that is in another paper which we will come to. this is a crunch week, another crunch week, but we are talking about next week being even crunchier! because of the meeting at chequers, the prime minister has invited her cabinet to her country retreat where the aim is to thrash
10:36 pm
out... they will be locked in, and they must come up with a brexit white paper at the end of it and agree on this, and what is interesting, doing the maths about how many brexiteers will be there, i think. similar story in the observer. the chairman of the 1922 backbench committee, those backbench tory mps, graham brady, issuing a warning to the cabinet. yes, he is the man who holds those letters that we know about and he keeps them close to his chest and nobody knows how many letters he has from mps who wa nt how many letters he has from mps who want a vote of confidence. anyway, he has said they are behaving terribly badly and that the backbench mps are behaving much better and there is greater unity, let's have that unity in cabinet. if
10:37 pm
you don't, there will be a general election, jeremy corbyn will get in and you will lose yourjobs, that is the message from graham brady. and you will lose yourjobs, that is the message from graham bradym comes to something when the backbenches say they are being more loyal than those in the cabinet. the cabinet are behaving appallingly. in normal circumstances in any other walk of life you would fire people like that. even in the political walk of life was the gavin williamson, boris johnson, walk of life was the gavin williamson, borisjohnson, even liz truss, you would sack those people, but she is so fragile she can't risk having them on the backbenches, but the point graham brady makes which is most important, the public actually are bored with and don't like divided parties. it has been the death of the tory party and the deathknell for them for years and
10:38 pm
yea rs deathknell for them for years and years and we know the elections... the electorate is volatile, but he says they don't vote for divided parties, that is for certain. when they again to be banging these heads together at chequers next week, she will have to get them onside supposedly to go down one road or another but then there's the of the party as well. before she even gets to brussels. so what you will get, it is likely, if she gets her way, the hard brexiteers will not like it, and the question is, we are bouncing back the same questions, how do you solve the irish border? probably some kind of customs union, could we do that with a norway type of model? europe will say, you can have that, but you will have to take free movement, and we haven't even got to the bit where brussels says, no, that is not acceptable. you
10:39 pm
mentionjacob rees—mogg no, that is not acceptable. you mention jacob rees—mogg and no, that is not acceptable. you mentionjacob rees—mogg and the hardline brexiteers, mentionjacob rees—mogg and the ha rdline brexiteers, and mentionjacob rees—mogg and the hardline brexiteers, and the sunday telegraph has the headline trump aid in secret talks with brexiteers. he revealed the us president wants to accelerate a trade deal after brexit and that is this group of hardline brexiteers, thejohn bolton met. —— who. that is right. this is led by jacob rees—mogg. the president's adviser was meant to be seeing our national security adviser but he seems to have found time to see the brexiteers, but if we can get a trade deal with america in that two—year period, that would be a good brexit, that seems to be the message he delivers, but we have got donald trump coming here in a couple
10:40 pm
of weeks and we will have to see if he delivers the same message. of weeks and we will have to see if he delivers the same messagem of weeks and we will have to see if he delivers the same message. it is another undermining of the prime minister, apparently no officials we re minister, apparently no officials were at this meeting. civil servants are raging and if donald trump meets them privately, it undermines her again. yes, it will. it will be interesting to see what happens on that trip which is in a few weeks' time. there are so many different areas to that. trump coming here, sunni going to who he will give a hard time —— trump going to nato, who he will give a hard time, and then he's going to meet vladimir putin, who he might give an easier time, which won't go down well with us. in the middle of that he could say absolutely anything about brexit. and there is also angela merkel. so much talk about trade recently, the steel tariffs issue with trump and
10:41 pm
the eu, the recent contract to build navy ships for australia, so printed to talk about, but theresa may will be locked into brexit mode —— plenty to talk about. yes, but you are right, one of the big things to talk about with donald trump will be what kind of future relationship with vladimir putin he actually wants because clearly we have the worst relations now with them since the cold war because of the salisbury poisoning. there is also to try and not wreck nato, because we want to keep that in place, but there's a danger he throw that away. theresa may managed to get donald trump to say that he was in support of nato, remember? yes, but he isn't really, he has described it as a hotel where you don't pay... were you shouldn't be paying for it, and his whole thing is about the money. madeleine
10:42 pm
albright spoke this week, she has been pushing a book, and her analysis of nato and donald trump is really quite scary, about the undermining of it. we will leave brexit behind for a moment. for some relief. laughter the sunday mirror. prince william says middle east peace is his life mission. he has spent his last week injerusalem mission. he has spent his last week in jerusalem and the mission. he has spent his last week injerusalem and the occupied territories. it seems to have been remarkably successful, and our reporter who was with him, a high—level source said this is not just a one—off and the idea is that prince william wants to make it his life ambition to see through middle east peace. the trouble is, the middle east have been at each other's throats for ever and probably will be for ever, so this
10:43 pm
isa probably will be for ever, so this is a long kind of thing to do, but what is interesting is the idea of a future king of england entering this kind of territory. politically? yes, constitutionally the royal family stay out of politics and he did really well in the last week where he had this wonderful poker face about things and he listened but did not actually talk too much. if he gets involved in middle east peace thatis gets involved in middle east peace that is a big deal. the trip was organised so meticulously in terms of avoiding any political gaffes so this is a tricky path to tread if this is a tricky path to tread if this is a lifelong goal. but hugely significant. the first member of the royalfamily to significant. the first member of the royal family to travel on official business to israel and the divide palestinian territories and he also went to jordan —— palestinian territories and he also went tojordan —— the occupied. he's not going to solve it, but it is a very important principle if you like that somebody outside of politics
10:44 pm
but with huge influence and huge status is actually talking to both sides equally and that should put pressure on politicians elsewhere. maybe it is that, about rising above the politics and maybe you can only do that from that kind of position. exactly. britain had a lot to do with messing up the middle east, and it seems appropriate to have the future king of england try to help it out, but tony blair spent years there and achieved virtually nothing. it could well be that some might prince william might achieve more. it could also be that he is tying his flag to the mast on a very difficult issue that he may never be able to... maybe not, but there are people who will welcome this hugely, the fact he has very publicly recognised and spoken and been moved by the plight of the palestinians,
10:45 pm
thatis by the plight of the palestinians, that is huge. business thing -- business thing wrong with try, and if he wants to follow in the footsteps of princess diana, this is the kind of thing he should go for —— there is nothing wrong with trying. and now to the independent, how much are you following the world cup? nigel, you know it is the world cup. yes, i do. the independent has photographs here,
