11:33 pm
still be rather breezy and u nsettled, still be rather breezy and unsettled, try and warmer in the south but some uncertainty about how far north that high pressure will get and it could be that we are all into the trike will warmer weather eye the end of this week. this is bbc news. i'm julian worricker. the headlines at eleven: we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. theresa may has backed calls for borisjohnson to apologise for his comments about muslim women who wear burqas, remarks which she said clearly caused offence. six men are found guilty of trying to smuggle albanian migrants in speed boats across the english channel. they were caught after one overcrowded boat carrying at least 18 people ran out of fuel. the increase in uk life expectancy has stalled, and the slowdown is one of the worst of any of the world's top economies. police say they're treating the death of a seven—year—old boy who died in a fire at his home in south london as murder.
11:34 pm
a court hears that england cricketer ben stokes, on trial for affray, was not acting in self—defence but with revenge, retaliation, or punishment in mind. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are arejim waterson, who's the media editor at the guardian, and jack blanchard, who's editor of the politico london playbook. most tomorrow's front pages are in. the daily telegraph leads on borisjohnson‘s refusal to apologise for comments about muslim women and burkas which the prime minister says are ‘wrong'. the metro says the former foreign secretary is under growing pressure from senior figures.
11:35 pm
the i says the guardian reports that the eu is on a collision course with donald trump over his reimposition of sanctions on iran. the independent leads on a study which suggests that over 450,000 children need treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. the ft reports that shares in the electric car company, tesla, lea pt by 7% after the chief executive, elon musk, declared he wanted to take the firm private. the times claims that over one quarter of the staff working on britain's new high speed railway hs2 are earning more than £100,000. lets start with the metro. jack, their take on boris johnson. lets start with the metro. jack,
11:36 pm
their take on boris johnson. he will not say sorry and who would sing so question —— think that so? the position boris is trying to take now under way he is trying to defend himself. the quote from sources close to mrjohnson say it is ridiculous to apologise and that we must not fall into the trap of shutting down debate on difficult issues. boris is trying to paint himself as someone sticking up for liberal values who should say what they think. however, it is boris johnson comparing people wearing a burqa to a bank robber or a letterbox. that is just rude. it is not about liberal values, it is about being rude. he said they should not be bad, i suppose that's what they're referring to. no-one is upset at him about that, they are upset at him about that, they are upset because he is rude. it is
11:37 pm
disingenuous to be making out that this is all about liberal value. what is your take on this gym? the thing with v metro, and this does get overlooked, as it proudly says on its masthead it is the world 's most popular free newspaper and it reaches a different audience. this is the one where people who commute, they pick up something on the bus or they pick up something on the bus or the train and they end up reading it. whatever they say often has as much political weight as a paid newspaper. and because there is a lot of this, it has a certain amount of borisjohnson trying lot of this, it has a certain amount of boris johnson trying to re—establish himself as the bloke on the side of the common man, at least how he —— that is how he perceives his comments. and as well, boris resigned from the cabinet so who is he now? is merely a backbencher like
11:38 pm
hundreds of others. and yet he has engineered a situation where we sit here and talk about him and do so all day. is on every of frontpage and we will be talking about this tomorrow as well. that it's not a bad effort for a backbencher.m tomorrow as well. that it's not a bad effort for a backbencher. it is all all the other upfront pages as well —— all all the other upfront pages as well — — lets all all the other upfront pages as well —— lets look at the mirror. they have a particular take on this. here we have spineless with boris johnson. and... it is fair to say it that the mirror is no big fan. i suppose there are a few things with people who know how boris woods, his columns are genuinely dashed off at a short notice —— boris works. when he has one—hour or so he writes. he
11:39 pm
is never one to turn down a clever turn of phrase without considering whether it is the right thing to write. the lack of thought and the fa ct write. the lack of thought and the fact that it has managed to produce such headlines after two days and it is still rumbling on and labour, who have their own problems, they are saying the prominent muslims in the tory party are also saying they are trying to reach out and not be pigeonholed. and yet we have to deal with this. and the mirror is also having a go at theresa may and describing her as weak because she suggests she should give him the boot. i think that headline is aimed at the prime minister rather than boris for not taking tougher action. she did say she thought he should apologise but it was nearly mouth way of getting at it. she had to be
11:40 pm
prodded a few times before she said she agreed with the party chairman who already said that. kicking him out?? he is who already said that. kicking him out? ? he is already out of cabinet so out? ? he is already out of cabinet soi out? ? he is already out of cabinet so i guess they could withdraw the whip from him and prevent him from being part of the conservatives... did you ever complementary simei in any story? —— did you ever complements theresa may in any story? every paper has a political agenda and they will be keen to put the boot in whenever. 0ne quarter of a chest to workers on pay deals over £100,000. what it saysin pay deals over £100,000. what it says in the headline. we have a chest to —— hs2 who barely started
11:41 pm
on preliminary construction work and yet the cost and the overrun that people were expecting were going to provide journalists with stories for yea rs provide journalists with stories for years to come. the way but is being administered and the british reputation for large—scale projects has never been great. to be fair, a few things have been done better. crossrail is just about coming in on time and on budget but the idea that these people, these public sector workers at a time of austerity parts, that we have people working on the railway earning that much reflects two things. one, it is a story because people want to discuss it and it reflects this shortage of skilled workers in the uk to take these jobs. the increase of these salaries, they say there were 155 people in 2016 and it is now raised
11:42 pm
up people in 2016 and it is now raised up to 318. double. they are described as officials, i am trying to work out what they do. described as officials, i am trying to work out what they dolj described as officials, i am trying to work out what they do. i am sure many others try to work that out as well. the times of quoting experts in here who work in infrastructure and they say it is excessive. the important point is that there is opposition to hsz. people think it isa opposition to hsz. people think it is a bad idea round the money should be spent elsewhere. this sort of story is damaging for a project that has limited political support already. people see things like this and they want to scrap a lot. the problem is i think they have spent 4 billion already and there is in the ground. talking of big money. arsenal. the front of the financial times. this is about the ownership of the club, basically. a big story.
11:43 pm
iam no of the club, basically. a big story. i am no fan of the club but it is sad to read this, honestly. we know what happened to manchester united ten or so years what happened to manchester united ten 01’ so years ago what happened to manchester united ten or so years ago when they would bought out and taken over by american owners. i don't think anyone would say that is now a well run club and it seems arsenal may be headed in the same way. it is heartbreaking for many football sports out there if it goes in that direction and a private owner has not said what he will do but it does not said what he will do but it does not look promising. this sort of thing has a huge impact on the lives of many people. many people live and breathe football, notjust of many people. many people live and breathe football, not just a of many people. many people live and breathe football, notjust a hobby at the weekend. there are people upset and worried about this. it shows that we have so little control over this sort of thing. it is really a wild west as far as football clu b really a wild west as far as football club ownership goes. given how much people care about it you might think there should be some
11:44 pm
regulation about it. notable as well it is the end of the last big remi league club who had owners who were ordinary fans with a view shares and a club that until the late 2000s had patrician owners, people... my grandfather had shares and he passed them down. it is a petition —— patrician capitalism. and now you have a us billionaire going i have total control now and it is my plaything to do what i want. he is buying out the other coal owner with £550 million in cash. that would be nice, wouldn't it? i don't know if i would spend it buying arsenal. and supporters who do own shares are now fearing the end. as soon as you own 90% of a club you have the right to purchase the rest of it. page six of
11:45 pm
the sun for a brexit related story. holiday banned for 9000 border workers. this will be rumbling on all summer, preparing for a workers. this will be rumbling on all summer, preparing fora no—deal brexit. brexiteers were all shouting and screaming that britain wasn't doing anything to prepare for this. you can understand their point of view. so they made the point repeatedly that they should be doing more. as part of the chequers agreement, theresa may said we will prepare properly. now we are seeing the implications of this, which is an awful lot of scary looking headlines about worst case scenarios and the latest one in the sun is at order staff are being told that they are not allowed to take any holidays next spring around the date of brexit. the obvious implication is because they are worried there will because they are worried there will be chaos at the airport. the telling
11:46 pm
thing to me was that we have fixed rotors of when it will happen. in six months time will certainly happen. it is basically saying, can i take my holiday? knows. you can't, we will be leaving the eu.” i take my holiday? knows. you can't, we will be leaving the eu. i am pretty sure you and i won't be able to ta ke pretty sure you and i won't be able to take a day off. we have to prepare for worst—case scenarios and you will see a lot more of this and the government will be announcing advice to businesses, members of the public and all sorts of interested parties about hague —— how they need to prepare. it is right that they should be giving that advice but what it will mean again is tons of scary looking headlines saying this could happen and you need to be ready for it. it probably isn't doing them very good. this takes the project fear allegation, or which is what this will attract. i think
11:47 pm
eve ryo ne what this will attract. i think everyone would say that you have to get ready for the worst—case scenario, just in it happens. it is absolutely right that we might need extra border force. if you give people an assurance they cannot take eight weeks off, they still need to find some from the other 44. that is my only thought. the express, this is the front page, brexit related. this is about the tycoon peter hargreaves. this is peter hargreaves, he has become a very rich man in the process. his partner in the business decided to spend his money funding bristol city. but peter hargreaves has decided to fund his money funding brexit. he was a big donate of the leave campaign and is on the front page having made comments saying, originally to bloomberg, saying that he basically
11:48 pm
would his fortune that we will get a trade deal. it is quite an easy thing to say if you have crippling £6 billion in the bank. quite a few people would take that that right 110w. “— people would take that that right now. —— £3.6 billion in the bank. this trade deal is supposed to be donein this trade deal is supposed to be done ina this trade deal is supposed to be done in a couple of months isn't it? the interesting thing was the original interview, which this is sourced on, what's much less positive about the negotiations and suggested that theresa may may need businessmen in charge to knock heads together and do a good deal. sounding like a certain us president in terms of its tone. it is interesting, the express, a proudly pi’o‘ interesting, the express, a proudly pro— brexit paper has taken a much more positive spin. it takes you back to what you said a moment ago, having to be a degree of credibility in the debate saying that there could be and no deal and putting a
11:49 pm
ford as a possibility makes getting a better deal more likely. that is the theory. i am not sure it is really working. i don't think many in brussels believe britain will go through with a no deal scenario. brussels know it would hurt the eu but they can damage to britain will be more severe that the government would do it. i think even with all of the preparations, i am not sure it will work. i don't think so. despite the bet. we will end with the times. who would like to kick this off? so this is a watchdog report, which has investigated a cheshire dale —— cheshire jailand found that while we know drugs and mobile phones are all over the place in prisons now, that phil at stake and fresh fish are being smuggled in at fourth cross open prison near
11:50 pm
warrington because inmates are fed up warrington because inmates are fed up with the portions of food being served. if you are in a prison watching this, i would love to know what you are eating. anyone currently locked up with access to a television. i can't believe this. how are they getting it in there? how are they getting it in there? how could you possibly smuggle phil at stake is mac vegetables, issued, are they going down the trousers? what is the fish smuggling technique? food is being thrown over the outside by friends of the inmates, who the inmates then go and collect the bags before they are are discovered. a fairly arbitrary approach. totally doesn't end up on the roof of their prison. culinary standards have improved, over the last 20 years people like to eat better, why should it be any difference? buries an element of that in the papers coverage but it
11:51 pm
goes back to this question about as an security —— prison security. now food, i mean... the idea of everyone wondering whether it is quite cooked through and checking whether they like it rareror through and checking whether they like it rarer or medium rare. also you would probably suspect that given the state of our present at the moment, you imagine the food is horrendous in there. on that note, gentlemen, thank you very is dumb like much indeed. —— thank you very much indeed. 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. a big thank you to my guests this evening, jim waterson, who's the media editor at the guardian, and jack blanchard, who's editor of the politico london playbook. and goodbye.
