11:33 pm
with me are martin bentham, home affairs editor for the evening standard and benedicte paviot, uk correspondent for france 24. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian features two exclusives on its front page. writing in the paper, jeremy corbyn acknowledges a real problem over the labour party's anti—semitism issue. there is also a picture of 0sama bin laden‘s mother, who gave her first ever interview to the guardian. the daily telegraph says bank of england governor mark carney has been blamed for the drop in the pound following his comments that the chances of a no deal brexit were, in his words, "uncomfortably high." the main story for the i is that police officers may face a holiday ban as the government prepares for social unrest in the event of a no—deal brexit. the sun leads on rap deaths for the second day in a row. sweet giant mars has axed its youtube advertising after its brands were shown alongside drill rap videos linked to a number of murders.
11:34 pm

11:35 pm
papers tomorrow. let's just kick off with the financial times which has on its front page a pensive looking theresa may and emmanuel macron in the beautiful surroundings of his restraint on —— his retreat on the french riviera. sounds like they had a good dinner but there was also serious talking to be done here? yes, the british prime minister has interrupted again, i think the second time, her summer holiday. brexit beetle, the ft calls it, not a tourde brexit beetle, the ft calls it, not a tour de france but very much a tete—a —tete a tour de france but very much a tete—a—tete with the french president. they say that theresa may is seeking to persuade eu leaders and tonight it was the turn of the french president, to show some
11:36 pm
flicks ability over the stumbling blocks that the uk is in countering over its brexit plan, the chequers plan. —— flexibility. that includes the irish border and future trade with the eu. myjournalistic perspective of the uk coverage that i have seen in the uk media has been building this into some kind of summit where there is a will he, won't he, can he, does he feel like doing it or not, being more flexible? and putting it all on the shoulders of the french president, who by the way, is on the first day of his some holiday and is interrupting it to meet the uk prime minister at her request. that needs to be pointed out. it is not all on his shoulders. michel barnier, the chief eu negotiator, is instructed by all eu leaders, and of course it is very important that leaders talk to each other and i think it is not just, as has been described, a charm offensive. it is a diplomatic and
11:37 pm
counter where she obviously wants to get a chance, one—on—one, to put the case forward for the united kingdom about brexit. let's remember that what will endure, what has endured throughout years, is the franco british relationship. that is on defence, security, economic, trade relationships, and the people's relationships. that will have been talked about tonight as well. martin, it doesn't sound light she is going to get this sort of help she would like from emmanuel macron? she may or may not. it is not very clear at this stage, the noise before the meeting was that she probably wouldn't, and so on. let's see what happens. it won't happen instantly. it may never happen at all. the french may stick to the eu ha rd all. the french may stick to the eu hard line that they seem to be pursuing in relation to supporting b commission's similarly hard line on the red line is that the commission
11:38 pm
has in terms of the negotiations. 0n the other hand, fronts is clearly one of the key players, although you are quite right that all the different countries have to agree to whatever result is agreed. —— france. if the french and germans are onside and are supporting whatever deal that we want to see happen, which of course is another issue, but if they are supportive and there is some flexibility, it obviously maximises our own chances of getting some flexibility in the negotiations in the coming months. and france, of course, perhaps even more than many other countries, would be a really seriously if they we re would be a really seriously if they were to be a no deal brexit? well, of course we would be affected, but has mark carney were saying, talking about the financial impact, of course, yes, people talk about queues at dover, they could the queues at dover, they could the queuesin queues at dover, they could the queues in calais, potentially. —— there could be queues. depending on
11:39 pm
your view, we have the biggest short—term impact, but if you look at the dutch ports is welcome the belgian ports and so on, some of these places, and some of these suppliers and businesses, they are going to have a very serious impact of trade is disrupted to the extent that, theoretically but it could be. martin mentioned mark carney. he is on the front page of the telegraph, being blamed a slump in the pound? that was a temporary blip, but he is being blamed for much more than that. he has been described byjacob rees—mogg as the high priest of project fear. and lots of other people are lining up. priti patel, david jones, the former brexit minister, peter bone and others. very harsh in their criticism of mark carney, the governor of the bank of england, saying that he is really presenting a very pessimistic picture, a doomsday scenario. but of
11:40 pm
course contingency planning has to be done. 0ne course contingency planning has to be done. one that not voice of doom at all about brexit and the implications consequences of it is willie walsh, the ceo of british airways, who is saying that all this kind of talk about planes being grounded and not flying because they wouldn't have certification, etc, that leaves him fuming. he is saying, look, this is obviously a challenge, but he believes that there will be, he says this in the daily telegraph, there will be a competence of agreement and planes will fly, even if there are some pickups and challenges to face. —— comprehensive agreement. inevitably, brexiteers are having a go at mark carney. he issued some dire warnings even before the referendum, didn't he? he did, he has been a bit of a figure of hate. people on the brexit site, although personally i think that he is entitled to make these points, it is perfectly reasonable for him to set out what he sees as
11:41 pm
the consequences. and again, what he has actually talked about here is in -- is has actually talked about here is in —— is that it is in both sides' interests for there to be a deal. he is not saying it is only us who will suffer. he has made the point, as have others, that the city of london, the trading relationship and so london, the trading relationship and so on, it would be a problem on both sides of the channel if there is no deal. so the tension here, he is saying that the impact in this country, it will not be 1—way. that again goes back to the message theresa may will be or has been communicating to president macron unto others. that he has clearly become a political hate figure for the brexiteers. some. some brexiteers, you are quite right. they really feel he is overdoing it and that he is not being impartial. let's look at one of the other big political rows. apparently no sign of ending. anti—semitism within the
11:42 pm
labour party. the guardian leads on its own article thatjeremy corbyn has written for the paper, a p pa re ntly has written for the paper, apparently seeking to try to address lots of the concerns of the jewish community. what we are hearing, it is not really had the desired effect? yes, you had the chairman for the campaign against anti—semitism earlier and he was very forthright about how he thought this was not enough and almost made it worse, really. it does seem that whatever jeremy corbyn it worse, really. it does seem that whateverjeremy corbyn does, and i think the problem here is twofold, one is that he has a long record of associating with people who, certainly people in the jewish community feel, are either anti—semitic or very hostile to them. so that is one, his track re cord them. so that is one, his track record is not a good one. secondly, of course, there is a feeling within the labour party, and to be fair to
11:43 pm
jeremy corbyn, he admits this in his article here, there has not been sufficient robustness and speed in dealing with incidents of anti—semitism within the labour party. of course, the allegation previously has been that that is because he and those like him have not been taking sufficient —— taking it sufficiently seriously. from the article he has written, it does not sound like jeremy article he has written, it does not sound likejeremy corbyn is going to back down when it comes to accepting in its entirety this international code? no, it doesn't. i mean, on the plus side, he says people who dish out anti—semitic poison need to understand, you do not do it in my name. you are not my supporters and have no place in our movement. that in itself seems like a very strong, finally, after a long silence, statement. but then, and then there is acknowledgement, as martin says, that the party should have reacted more quickly in cases of abuse, should have done more to consult the jewish community, but then he says
11:44 pm
it is "0verheated rhetoric". the argument made by threejewish newspapers, unprecedented as the guardian says, joint front—page editorials, that a government run by him would pose a" existential threat". i do not think this will reassure the jewish threat". i do not think this will reassure thejewish community. threat". i do not think this will reassure the jewish community. and the guardian has another exclusive on its front page. this picture here of 0sama ben martin's mother, quite an extraordinary interview. exactly. you must wonder how it is like being the parent of someone who did 911 and al qaeda and all of the pain inflicted over the years. her interview is a fascinating account of hertime and interview is a fascinating account of her time and knowledge of her sofi. of her time and knowledge of her son. the last time the family saw him was in1999,
11:45 pm
son. the last time the family saw him was in 1999, so they didn't have any sighting of him. she blames it all on him going to university in jeddah and coming under the influence of a radicalise. muslim brotherhood. exactly. it was known that he had led a playboy it life in beirut in his early adult years and so on beirut in his early adult years and so on and then suddenly did change and initially she talks about when he went to afghanistan to fight against the soviets and the family we re against the soviets and the family were proud of him, without realising that he was going to change into what he became. the fact that this interview has been allowed by saudi arabia's leadership and crown prince muhamed ben salman, who has agreed, and really it is to dispel critics
11:46 pm
who allege that 0sama ben martin had had state support. —— 0sama bin laden. legal actions have have been a lodged against the kingdom, remember 15 of the hijackers came from saudi arabia and let's point out, because it gets forgotten, that the bin laden family is one of the richest families in saudi arabia. her son seems to want to add then she is father and that could spell not just disaster. she is father and that could spell notjust disaster. -- his son. extraordinary to hear the human side
11:47 pm
of the family at the heart of this. let's just take a look at, we have several other stories to try to fit in. the sun talks about mars barred. book about this. this dreadful killing in london this week of a man who had previously been cleared of another murder, two killings on the same street in camberwell in the south london. basically what is thought to be a factor in this is this thing where gangs are goading each other on, using the victims of this one was involved, part of a drill and what this is saying is that the confectionery company mars have pulled their advertisers because they don't want to be associated with this type of music.
11:48 pm
of course it may be that not all this type of music is leading to, and the cause and that link between the two is not absolutely proven, but clearly some of these videos have actually been referring to real—life incidents, goading directly other gangs and so on. and from that point of view it is obviously very problematic activity and perhaps something that is a good thing. £5 million a year, that is quite a lot of money they are pulling. that is good, responsible way to behave. is go back to the telegraph, the story about how few are children are walking to school, despite the campaign at a time when there are huge efforts to tackle the obesity crisis, apparently fewer children walking to schools to be. stock which is sad because obviously too many of them are spending too
11:49 pm
much time in front of screens, not getting fit and statistics show there has been this drop as there is a push by government to try to get children to be more active. we are talking about children aged between five and ten years old. being driven to school as opposed to walking. lipstick in one more story. —— lets fit in. the daily mail has had a big container that plastics, problems polluting narrations, what a recycling shambles, two thirds of plastic containers are sent to landfill or don't. and that is because a lot of plastic is either not recyclable or there are not facilities to do it. it talks about black plastic, which comes in a lot of ready— made meals black plastic, which comes in a lot of ready—made meals and sometimes in fruit and vegetable packaging as well, is an example is a big —— is
11:50 pm
an example is picked larger in pots are a good example. and yet are still on the sandwiches and so on, most of that point the recyclable. the real issue in fact, is it is good that this is being highlighted both for the fact that not much recycling is taking place but also because it is a false reassurance to think that recycling will solve the problems. people want to cut down altogether and supermarkets want to cut down this excessive use of plastic on everything. beget challenge than we thought. we have run out of time. —— bigger. that's it for the papers tonight. 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. good evening. this is the latest
