11:32 pm
know that! let's take a look at tomorrow's front pages. the telegraph splashes on claims that brexiteer ministers have criticised theresa may's approach to leaving the eu without a deal, calling it a kamikaze approach. the times leads on reports that britain's biggest farm approval scheme is failing to detect breaches of its animal welfare standards. the daily mail criticises the working practices of rail firms and claims that drivers are having to work overtime in order to keep networks running. the daily express quotes pro—brexit tory mps accusing the government of another ‘project fear‘ campaign, over the claims food may have to be stockpiled. the i highlights the disruption caused by the sudden, and rather wet, change in britain's weather over the last couple of days. the daily mirror leads on fresh revelations about meghan markle's father. the metro front page covers news of a mother in corfu who died after eating a mouthful of raw chicken. and the financial times says that deutsche bank has moved half of its euro clearing activities from london to frankfurt.
11:33 pm
so let's make a start with some of those headlines. we begin with the telegraph, if we may. made's no deal sta rts telegraph, if we may. made's no deal starts is kamikaze, say leaders. it's not so much kamikaze as scaremongering. basically, if they go on toa scaremongering. basically, if they go on to a node trading option after brexit, then they will be all face disruption to our imports, food, drugs, et cetera. it isjust projects earmarked to, as far as i'm concerned, which i think people will believe as much as they believed mark one, prior to the referendum, which was a total flop. is it project fear to suggest we'd be better off with a deal of our own making rather than having to resort to wto rules? i don't think it is. this is all the fault of your friend, dominic raab, the new brexit secretary, who wanted to be the threatened to walk away from the
11:34 pm
negotiations in brussels, and the only way you can do that is by saying we are serious about the consequences of a saying we are serious about the consequences of a collapse in the talks, and a collapse in the talks, i'io talks, and a collapse in the talks, no deal, would mean delays and disruption at borders and airports. but the wto rules are perfect. but there would be disruption in the short term. minor disruption... how can you be sure? the wto rules would be made for all non—eu trade. can you be sure? the wto rules would be made for all non-eu trade. what about the irish border? you can solve it technically. there's already a border when it comes to duties and vat. you just extend it to terrorists. you have to have it in place before the end of march next year. hrc is on the case and it said it will be ready at the end of march 2019 in any eventuality.
11:35 pm
didn't the metro say we were not capable of making enough insulin to help diabetics? import it. it is scaremongering. there will be delays and long queues at airport... wto trade works very well. after a bit, maybe, but in the short—term... after the 29th of march 2019! brexit food crisis fury. but we are not going to run out of supplies after all, we don't need to stock pile tins of soup, tuna and baked beans, says the daily express. according to a conservative mp who says this is palpable nonsense, as stupid as the project fear stuff in the referendum. he's a good man! yes, but it's your lot who think that the government ought to be preparing for fio government ought to be preparing for no deal... and they are. but some of
11:36 pm
the consequences are quite rory in. the way they are —— worrying. the way they are putting it across is scaremongering. if technical solutions are possible for the northern ireland border, what do preparations for no deal look like? with trade, it's basically switching on to wto rules, and of course there will be other things that have to be agreed like aviation, landing rights, visas and things like that, but that's not trade, we are talking about trade here. we are also talking about food and medicine crisis. you import it. but those arrangements have to be in place before the end of march next year. the importers should arrange it, and facilitation should be there. the nhs needs to buy it. the nhs should order it. i do think the hard brexiteers had been stung by their owfi brexiteers had been stung by their own cleverness brexiteers had been stung by their owfi cleverness on brexiteers had been stung by their own cleverness on this one. they think we need to prepare for no
11:37 pm
deal, and as soon as we do, everyone realises what an awful prospect this might be. it's a shame the government didn't start off with a sensible free trade agreement, but they've ended up with a mess. sensible free trade agreement, but they've ended up with a messlj thought they've ended up with a mess.” thought it was dear liza, not dear martha... very important correction as cremation mark i remember singing it as as cremation mark i remember singing itasa as cremation mark i remember singing it as a child. —— very important correction! in the times, jews warning jeremy corbyn... this story won't go away. jeremy corbyn had the chance to just get rid won't go away. jeremy corbyn had the chance tojust get rid of it. won't go away. jeremy corbyn had the chance to just get rid of it. this month. how? by accepting the international definition of anti—semitism. that would have — it wouldn't have made it go away completely, but it would have gone a long way to it. it is his stubbornness in refusing to accept international definitions... it has
11:38 pm
made it far worse. you know, i thought all the fuss about anti—semitism had flushed out the anti—semites in the labour party, but every time you go on twitter, there's a new councillor in the north, someone here the gold rush it's terrible, and don't get the impression that jeremy corbyn cares enough about it really deal with it. what gets me is we are dealing two mps who are extremely distinguished. one of them is a former aide to gordon brown, and he was adopted by jewish parents, and the other is dame margaret hodge, who is a very respected mp, and i think one of her grandmothers was killed in the holocaust. to take these people on i think isjust suicidal. it's extraordinary. let's look at the guardian, a couple of stories. think tank offered ministerial access to
11:39 pm
potential us donors. this is the institute of economic affairs, a secret recording of the director of the iea, mark littlewood.” secret recording of the director of the iea, mark littlewood. i know him well. fellow travellers, you know, pro— conservative, pro— free market, jolly good chaps. doesn't it concern you that the charity commission says an organisation will not be charitable if its purposes are political? and yet it has been established as an educational charity. i do think this is a grey area, and! charity. i do think this is a grey area, and i know all this because i runa think area, and i know all this because i run a think tank, i ran the centre for policy studies, which wasn't a charity, it was a company limited by guarantee, because it was very political. it is a very grey area, and if the charity commission is unhappy with what the iea has done, thenit unhappy with what the iea has done, then it will have to act. yeah. the question is whether — political could apply to anything. oxfam is
11:40 pm
very political in a lot of things it does, but it is not party political, and the question is whether offering access to ministers — this is more to do with mark littlewood boasting about, you know, who he knows and can put you in touch with. the iea, in the small print of the story, denies cash for access, but clearly he is involved, as he says, mark littlewood, he says he is involved in the brexit influencing game, so he is involved in politics with a small p, even if it's not party politics. the iea has responded to that saying they are an educational charity, seeking to improve knowledge across policymakers and the wider public. they have given them 48 hours to respond and go on to publish a full account of that. further into the statement, they say donors are unable to influence the
11:41 pm
results and conclusions of our research, which are controlled entirely by our research team, our research and ideas precede donations, but we greatly welcome theirfunding donations, but we greatly welcome their funding without which we would be unable to operate. that's a part of the statement from the iaea about that story. staying with the guardian. mugabe — i won't vote for my party. here we have robert mugabe, the former leader of is an eps, saying he will not support the current leader and would in fact vote for the opposition —— zanu pf. he is like these members of the labour party who wouldn't vote for jeremy corbyn if they had a free chance. it's the final insult that he can deliver. i mean, he is 94. he was pushed out last november, and
11:42 pm
there are elections coming up, and he says he will not vote for them. two hours, his press conference lasted. he is good for 94, isn't he? by lasted. he is good for 94, isn't he? by god, he's got some energy. perhaps that will take us to the last story... you are hoping so! it also speaks to how he is smarting about how he was kicked out by zanu pf. i think that's right. he is very, very upset about being ousted last november, as john very, very upset about being ousted last november, asjohn was saying, and he is going to vote for the mdc candidate, of course the biggest opposition party, so we will see what happens. let us move on, as you wished, to the i, the sports page. geraint thomas, the first welshman winning the tour de france, and another win for the team sky, six out of seven years. they are quite good at this, aren't they? they've
11:43 pm
thrown quite a lot of money at this. yes. the science of it and the attention to detail is quite a good story, but in a way it sort of takes away some of the mystique. it's all to do with the kit they wear, the training, the special training they do, and the bikes they ride, but obviously he pedalled better than anybody else. so jolly good for him. ido anybody else. so jolly good for him. i do congratulate him. i think the french must be as sick as parrots. what is the french for sick as a parrot? i'm not sure, but i can tell you what the welsh is the het... het. that's right. if you missed in the last hour, you say chapeau to the last hour, you say chapeau to the winner, and we wondered what the welsh was for hat, and twitter came to the rescue. joshua provided het for us. there's always someone who
11:44 pm
can help. that is the extent of my welsh, you'll be pleased to hear! shall we finish with the daily telegraph? which i feel slightly anxious in asking you to look at, because i've left it behind again. how was it for you? perhaps best not to ask. there's something called postcoital dysphoria, or post sex blues, and it's notjust women who get it, john, there's no need to be autobiographical if you don't wish. i'm not going to be autobiographical. you look quite cheerful actually... can we go back to talking about brexit?” cheerful actually... can we go back to talking about brexit? i think we ought to... perhaps post-brexit dysphoria? i don't know. well, i've got brexit dysphoria. i'm fed up with it. what are you fed up about? i'm fed up — fed up — that they haven't gone for a decent deal. sorry, i know you want to talk about
11:45 pm
sex, but you are one of these hard brexiteers — you are not a moderate at all. i thought you said you were. i'm going to talk about this article evenif i'm going to talk about this article even if they won't. the story is its thought only women had post sex blues, but apparently it affects 41% of men as well. i suppose you've got to work at risk versus reward, haven't you? that's it for the papers tonight. everyone breathes a sigh of relief... don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. su said to me, you've got your work cut out tonight, martine — you were wrong. thank you john and ruth. next it's time for the film review.
