11:34 pm
story, reporting that the social media site allows anti—semitic posts to remain on the platform after they have been flagged by users as offensive. the eye leads on the home secretary decision to allow medicinal cannabis to be prescribed to cannabis with exceptional critical need after parents fought for their children's right to the drug. on the front page of the telegraph, the work and pensions secretary esther mcveigh says that more teenagers should take jobs on some holidays. the metro says the wrong type of sun, reporting on the cancellations of trains caused by the heat, while the rising temperatures also make the front page of the sun. who go for this one, bake to the future. a new outsider struggle is the top story for the daily express. —— outsider robert. lyn davidson, start us off.
11:35 pm
facebook, the figures and what has happened to the price of this stock is amazing and there is a lot behind it. it is a lot of money and the guardian sum it up as, the amount equivalent to nearly all of mcdonald's or three times as much as tesco. essentially, this amount has been wiped off facebook and they have revealed that about 3 million people have left facebook since the cambridge analytica data breach was revealed earlier this year and that was when something where something like 90 million profiles were breached. mark zuckerberg is taking the bulk of the hit from this, his own personal wealth, he owns almost 17% of the company and it fell from about 90 billion us dollars to about
11:36 pm
71. struggling. 3 million european users have attended it. but it is still the norm? -- abandoned. although they have had this fall, the share price is still higher than it was a year ago and it still a huge, multinational east of —— beast ofa huge, multinational east of —— beast of a company. the mail is overthrowing it, the main problem is because it admitted it would hmmfia because it admitted it would forecast a decline in advertising resin you and it has almost reached saturation point. the problems the technology companies have is that the industry is based on innovation, and a fashion to get. they stock has been the equivalent of socks and jeans, it is not cool to the younger generation. they are busy on the
11:37 pm
snapchat and others. there is always something coming along. what they are doing is buying these companies as sooi'i are doing is buying these companies as 50011 as are doing is buying these companies as soon as they emerge as competition, but you are seeing the problems that they face, young people want something new, finding and other form of social media is more appetising, instagram bought examples of the. —— for example. although they are country founded on 20 years ago... it was annoying, there seems to be so many advertisers dropping into the timeline, things are not contemporary and turning up out of date. i think it is not very user—friendly, certainly. date. i think it is not very user-friendly, certainly. at the back of it, another story that is at least in one other paper, about the anti—semitic problems, still things on facebook. this is the fashion of the times, saying that facebook is failing to remove abusive and vile
11:38 pm
and in this case, anti—semitic, content. the problem is, they see themselves as a technology company and not as a publisher, but actually they are the biggest publisher in they are the biggest publisher in the world and a main sort of views foran the world and a main sort of views for an awful lot of people. articular young people. unlike other companies like newspapers and broadcasters we have editorial standards and have some sort of control of what is put out. facebook hasn't been doing that and had to learn that quickly. they have employed hundreds of people to monitor, i don't think that is enough. obviously they have this feeling we just put information out there, we are not responsible for it. a libertarian attitude which is pa rt of it. a libertarian attitude which is part of their own billing. we are going to stay with the guardian. —— there are and billing. —— and billing. —— undoing. now, there has been a parent ‘s
11:39 pm
campaignfor now, there has been a parent ‘s campaign for sick people using medicinal cannabis. sajid javid has agreed that cannabis can be used for medicinal purposes, particularly in the case of people with epilepsy because it helps them relieve or control the fit. there are any few hurdles to get over here, legislation, firstly in his to go through parliament, not sitting until septemberand it through parliament, not sitting until september and it probably will get bipartisan support. it still needs approval from the medical experts to make sure they get it exactly right. this is a big step forward. it still to me is ridiculous that it is a home office decision for a medical reason the. that is what the campaigners want it shifted to be. to be fair, they have
11:40 pm
been working on it, but ultimately because it falls under the drugs act, that is why it falls under their jurisdiction. act, that is why it falls under theirjurisdiction. it will be a great sign, at least moving forward, for the coldwell family and our fee in lee's family. —— alfie dingley. no change in the law.|j in lee's family. —— alfie dingley. no change in the law. i don't think that would occur. it is interesting, this is not california yet or anywhere else in the state... but european countries seem to be ahead of us in terms of medicines. of countries are ahead of us. going to the daily mail now, i think this is for you. the daily mail now, i think this is foryou. —— a the daily mail now, i think this is for you. —— a lot of. the daily mail now, i think this is for you. -- a lot of. i wrote about this today. you are an expert! what is that we —— mean to live beyond oui’ is that we —— mean to live beyond our means? this is from the office
11:41 pm
of national statistics, we take anything they generally say quite seriously because it has come from them. essentially, they have found for the first time in 30 years since 1988, households are spending more than they are bringing in, to the tune of £900 a year. last time it happened in 1988, there was a shortfall of about £300 million, yes it was a while ago, but this time it is pretty £5 billion, equating to about one fifth of the nhs budget and it means that the poorest families are typically overspending more than the richest families, quite obvious. but what people are spending more on right now is loans, payday loans, also spending money on home improvements coming doing extensions to their houses, credit ca rd extensions to their houses, credit card debt as well and the fear is,
11:42 pm
sparking fears of a potential recession because even back in 2008, before the last recession, this wasn't happening. people were not spending or living beyond their means to this point, certainly. spending or living beyond their means to this point, certainlylj wonder means to this point, certainly.” wonder if this means a certain optimism rather than public —— people struggling.” optimism rather than public —— people struggling. i think it is people struggling. i think it is people struggling, we had a report out on the resolution think tank that said the 8 million poorest households are worse off than we we re households are worse off than we were 15 years ago. last year, the real poorest, £150, it was a wages problem and this is a consequence of stag na nt problem and this is a consequence of stagnant wages now for over a long period of time and although we have high employment, the jobs aren't paying properly enough and this is partly behind it. there is a secondary question about whether it is too easy to get credit what i think the primary driver is people
11:43 pm
are not in paid enough. also low interest rates. back in 1998 was something like 15% and now it is like 0.5. that is encouraging people to borrow more and it is not worth saving because the interest rates are so saving because the interest rates are so low. it says here, we all know that front—page stories tend to get written up a bit. but it does a financial experts said the figures we re financial experts said the figures were profoundly worrying, our economic growth raced on depth was unsustainable. yes, there is an interesting point, which doesn't make the front section here. britain was similar with other countries in europe, like france and germany, who live within their means and save more. now germany, who live within their means and save more. now we are germany, who live within their means and save more. now we are turning into a country like canada and the united states which spends more. perhaps it is a cultural change. and of course, we are not saving enough
11:44 pm
for a pension and down the road people will struggle. now, let's come on. jason, i think it is you. the inside of the times, look at the story in detail, no deal, barnier shoots down may's compromise on customs. and absolutely inevitable. the eu said right from the beginning that theresa may's plan, which is called fca, facilitated customs arrangement, which is the idea that they would use technology to patrol borders, which has as yet not been tested, then collect tariffs on behalf of the eu, was a nonstarter. they were clear about this. they are saying it because if you are a third party you are not bound by the rules. we need to be able to police that to make sure you do it properly. the problem is that may
11:45 pm
knew this and still put this suggestion forward. this was a centrepiece of her cheque as planned. —— chequers plan. one option is to stay in the customs union, at which the brexiteers in her party... no deal. she is stuck ina mad her party... no deal. she is stuck in a mad riddle and i don't see a way out of this. michel barnier is famous for saying we can't have this 01’ famous for saying we can't have this or that. . we are eight months into the middle of this negotiation and this is what you read expecting to say. what is more interesting is what is coming from the other leaders, like angela merkel in germany. there has been a noticeable
11:46 pm
softening of the german approach to this. there has been bickering between france and as well. we also had... yes, she is in ajam. we have the former australian high commissioner alexander downing today saying this transpacific free—trade agreement, which was talked about, so we can agreement, which was talked about, so we can trade with countries in asia, in the transpacific, this former australian high commissioner said under this chequers plan we can'tjoin it. said under this chequers plan we can't join it. she said under this chequers plan we can'tjoin it. she has said, it is one of her red lines, we should be able to have free—trade deals. if we can't do that, if britain can't do that, she is in a very difficult position. that was pie in the sky. the idea that we could get a better trade deal with another country was not going to happen. what is the advantage for america if we sign up to eu standards to import
11:47 pm
chlorinated chicken and pumped beef? this is the issue. there are no good options available. jean-claude juncker has ruled over donald trump. i think you would find it is the other way around. we will have to disagree on that. i noticed in the corner on the same page, the majority back a second referendum on brexit terms. that might be a straw in the wind. let's finish with the weather. come along. as i say every evening this week we have been running a competition for the best headline. is this your newspaper? yes. did you come up with this? no, idid yes. did you come up with this? no, i did not. i know that paul sims is oui’ i did not. i know that paul sims is our weatherman and he has some great exclusives this week including reservoirs taking it in the lake
11:48 pm
district, this is what we have to expect from now, apparently, according to boffins. and as we were saying earlier, people will have to pay more heed to the hot weather warnings because more deaths are predicted. indeed. it is interesting. earlier on, we were talking to an mp who made a warning. she pointed out that they have begun deliberations when we have the best from the east blowing through us. the real problem is the extremes, is it not, both ways? part of global warming is more confused weather, so it is going to be much more extreme, even some could be more damp, but we know the planet is warming. anyway,

11:52 pm
captain michael vaughan called the decision to include him ridiculous and yorkshire's chief executive said he hopes they know what they are doing. the national selector ed smith said rashid's selection is not a bad precedent and is a one—off. next to an incredible incident in the super league, with st helens coming back from behind to beat warrington with the last kick of the match. the scores were tied at 12— 12, but the saints' danny richards and keep this from inside his own half to secure a 14— 12 win to extend the lead at the top to 12 points. ireland secured a shock 1—0 victory over india at the hockey world cup to seal a place in the quarter—final. it means england, in the same pool as ireland, can't qualify automatically for the last eight. ireland will top pool b.m
