march 20 2019. it will, on change is march 20 2019. it will, on that that day at 11pm. —— march 29. that clock is firmly taking. the issue is clearly that i think he will be foolish to deny that if there is no deal, there will not be some difficulty and indeed if there is evena some difficulty and indeed if there is even a deal, some sort of affect. you can argue again about the extent of that are otherwise that the big question about brexiteers, the long affects. the short—term effect, which is important for those affected if it is very turbulent as he is warning here, but the big question is the longer—term impact as well. but i think it is foolish to deny that will not be a short—term impact of a quite substantial nature if there is no agreement. in that struggle to dry and get some agreement, the ft has got this rather nice picture on the front page of theresa may and emmanuel macron, they‘ re front page of theresa may and emmanuel macron, they're on the french riviera, but was not much of

a holiday. they had a good dinner but this looks like a very workmanlike meeting going on there at the grounds of the castle there. yes, the summer retreat of french presidents. not that used by many french presidents, but very much used by this one. i understand that this was a downing street request. theresa may requested this. this is the first day of the french president's holiday. as we would like to believe that theresa may has interrupted now twice a holiday. last week, it was in salzburg and today in the south of france. so before a very nice five course menu, with lots of culinary treats... augustine, sea bass, chocolate creme brulee, a bit like our dinners, really. yes, of course. the fact the matter is there is some hard talking to do. i think that what the british press is built this up and do some sort of summit and it all relies on

the french president isjust hysteria and disinformation of the worst kind. with the french media is reporting is that this is actually a very anxious british prime minister, we can, and that there is a real reality of a no deal, which french leaders and politicians and other european leaders are really concerned about. and this is actually a cry for help from theresa may. and indeed, president rami clea ry before may. and indeed, president rami cleary before the meeting began that he would not start into negotiations. no, but i think that is disingenuous slightly as well and at the french have a big role to play. and if reports are to be believed, which i think they are, that the french are one of the main driving forces between eu and its firm line. they refuse to budge from its established for key principles and to show any flex ability whatsoever. so of course, i think the british press here actually do

see this as a cry for help from theresa may because she is trying to make her plan work in some shape or form and get some result from it. she has gone there to emmanuel macron to hopefully seep that there is maybe not immediate attention coming from this in the short—term, but in the medium term and before we get to the final deal if there is to be one agreed, then what is hoping is that he will then use his influence, she can persuade him that it is notjust in britain's interest but also the european interest in france's interest. recall there is also a very strong franco— british bilateral relationship. that is also very important. and it will endure. it has endured and will endure. and there are many things, whether it is straight, security, the millions ago from one to the other, culturally, economically, trade links, and offence of course and security.

these are very important things, so it is important and positive. i have there is in the unionjack white so close to it eu flag. you never see a french flag anywhere, whether it is the french embassy here in the uk or the french embassy here in the uk or the ambassador‘s residence or indeed any french diplomacy without eight eu flag right next to it. fascinating. we're not a whole rash of stories of the last week or so about what might happen if there is no deal. martin, the ie now saying that police could face a holiday band. there now seems to be concerns about social unrest. no holidays? they are trying to turn all the police into remainers. it all sounds very intuitive. predicated on the idea that there will be some disruption. social unrest, ss. is that because we are leaving or... we

cannot get proper supplies of french cheese. -- social unrest- it says. whether you be a result. apparently france is not getting the marks & spencer sandwiches. you know, i love them but i think france will survive if there is a temporary hiatus. there would be riots. let's have a look at some of the other stories that we have got here. the daily mail here, which has got a big campaign about plastic waste, and here now saying that two thirds of plastic food containers that we set aside for recycling are just sent to landfill. it is a disaster, is it not? i have received a view —— book about this very issue and the great whole problem of plastic in our environment and the fact that recycling is confusing. so many

things that theoretically can be re cycled things that theoretically can be recycled cannot be, or if they can become unable to not understand it which bends but the men, so an awful lot does not get recycled. the brother problem is even if you think you recycle something, that that actually just you recycle something, that that actuallyjust encourages you recycle something, that that actually just encourages people really to make more use of plastic, which is the wrong approach anyway. you need to be cutting values in the first place. this, i think it really confirms what i thought, personally, that unfortunately, too much of the stuff that you diligently tried to put into recycling, you do not know whether it is ever going to be re cycled whether it is ever going to be re cycle d at whether it is ever going to be recycled at all. this is exceptionally bad news, because in concrete terms, it means only one third of the 525,000 tonnes of the recycling rubbish that is collected from households in the uk can actually be reused. and some of the worst offenders are apparently the black plastic in it ready meal packs, which is very hard to process

according to the local government association, and margarine tubs and a yoghurt pots made from polypropylene that are extremely difficult to recycle. so all the effort we are going to do wash them and put them back into the recycling... this is doubly bad news. times when got sorted out at the highest level. do not you people make such an effort and have those really ugly bins and then not do it properly. i think this is making a whole mockery of this and it is really important to get rid of those plastics. i think it is worth also saying that this paper gets a lot of criticism from some quarters, and they have done very well on this issue. they have complained about brock —— plastic bassinet microbeads, and all criticism they get for other reasons, i think in this particular campaign and the issue they are highlighting here is important. and they have done more than any other paper really to push public opinion in the right direction. let's look a couple of

other front pages. direction. let's look a couple of otherfront pages. bickering surgeons blamed for nhs deaths. this isa surgeons blamed for nhs deaths. this is a big hospital in south london. it is saint george's hospital in south london. this is extremely worrying, especially if you suffer from a heart complaint and if you live in the area. so there was a review that was offered by a former deputy medical director of nhs england, and he concluded there was a problem with extra deaths. so instead of having 2%, which is the national rate, it seems he went to 3.7%, almost doubling, in this a p pa re ntly 3.7%, almost doubling, in this apparently is because of the bickering surgeons. there apparently are two camps bickering. there is a terrible atmosphere, and what is very sad about that is able create a lot of exotic for people who possibly are going to be having any kind of heart and it will of course, this is a huge teaching hospital, be

very bad news for the hard—working nhs staff who are i am sure in a hospital doing very good things. but this report concludes that there is a persistent toxic atmosphere and it there is an existential threat, when they would not be at the rate was not so hot. let's try and fit in it one more story. martin, my life with linden‘s taylor, extraordinary. one more story. martin, my life with linden's taylor, extraordinarym isa very linden's taylor, extraordinarym is a very extraordinary interview. the wife of the killer ofjohn lennon, mark david chapman. she thinks he'll be freed up really sooi'i. thinks he'll be freed up really soon. most people think it people who commit murder in the us never, to present again, but he potentially could, at least according to his wife. he is about to have his tenth pa role wife. he is about to have his tenth parole hearing. on august 20. and yes, this horrible murder that took place. she talks about the relationship, and it is bizarre. she talks about how she has been abused

about living with him and various other fairly unsavoury details. bit too much information. it is a very compelling story in a very terrible way. but he may come out. the us has been releasing murderers if you behave well. in this sense, the gravity of your crime is lessons, apparently. so they have been releasing murderers recently, and so there is a real worry. yoko ono, the widow ofjohn lennon is very against this release. very controversy all. lots of extraordinary personal detail about the extraordinary story of the lives of not just the the extraordinary story of the lives of notjust the man convicted of the killing, but his wife who has spoken out here. yes, she talks about again how he tried to kill himself in then she then has maintained that

basically she, after this her and the thing of finding out he was a murderer, although according to her, he threatened to do it two month before and it had not done it, so perhaps it did not come as much of his apprised, but then she basically believes about to stick by him and his been travelling to see him continually. quite irate over many pages. that's it for the papers tonight. thank you, martin and benedicte. 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. thank you, martin and benedicte. for now, goodbye. the heat wave across europe is

speaking this weekend, on saturday in spain and portugal. but guess see two printers up to 47 degrees in the south. i think the peak of the heat has already occurred in the uk here. on friday, we had temperatures up to 33.2 degrees in kew gardens, so it has only been in the southeast has had the heat. you can see across your pure, clear skies. whetherfrom across the country and north of that, fresher air coming off the atlantic. for the rest of this evening, then, cooler conditions across the north, temperatures here by the early hours of sunday morning mostly in the low teens, whereas in the south, it will still be very warm and muggy, story of the summer really. 19 in london and assisting in the midlands and 13 further north around aberdeen and edinburgh. saturday promises to be sunny throughout much of the uk. 90% of us will get sunshine. a bit more cloud

in many spots of ramp across the western parts of scotland, maybe the cloud to come and go in northern ireland. but the bulk of the uk will have a fine day. low 20s, possibly touching 29 or 30 degrees there in london once again. so a few degrees lower, depending on it some things friday. a beautiful saturday evening on the way. here is a typical pattern we see in the summer. giving a fine weather for the bulk of sunday. you can almost draw a line there across ireland and just about to central scotland and down into parts of europe. north of that, you have low—pressure and weather front and purging. you'll start to see increasingly this, whether through the northwest with this weather through sunday, monday and tuesday. still very warm in the south. here is that low—pressure encroaching on monday, a front moving into northern

ireland and western scotland, so some cloud and rain from time to time. cooler conditions as well. these conditions with a flexible that he back into europe that is still effective the southeast. but he will hang around and maybe even arrives in london for a time on monday and then taper off by the time we get to wednesday. that is it. goodbye. this is bbc news.
