11:30 pm
risen slightly, despite an overhaul to make the exams more demanding. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and journalist, rachel shabi, and laura perrins, the co—editor of the conservative woman. thank you both for being with us and staying with us for the second paper review. tomorrow's front pages are already in. the ft leads on ministers‘ guidance about the consequences of a no—deal brexit, highlighting the warning that british companies exporting to the eu may need to hire customs agents to deal with the red tape if there is no brexit deal. the metro says the dangers of a no—deal brexit have become much clearer after the guidance. the telegraph says the chancellor, phillip hammond, has been accused of undermining theresa may's brexit
11:31 pm
strategy after warning that leaving the eu without a deal would have large fiscal consequences for the uk. the times claims the chancellor's dismissal of a brexit divident has underlined the splits in the cabinet. the mail has that story too but carries of picture of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, the british—iranian woman jailed in iran who's been reunited with her daughter after being granted a three—day release from prison. the guardian leads on the study which suggests that russian bots and trolls may have deliberately spread misinformation about vaccines on twitter. and other social media. and the mirror reports on the agony of tv presenter, katie piper, after she learnt that the man who scarred her in an acid attack will soon be released from jail. rachel and laura, welcome back. rachel, let's begin with the daily mail, and the assessment of philip
11:32 pm
hammond, comparison is not the most flattering. it is not the most flattering. it is not the most flattering. we have heard this one before. philip hammond gets all kinds of criticism in the context of brexit. there is obviously a split in cabinetand brexit. there is obviously a split in cabinet and a lot of these papers are reporting this story in a critical manner. you can guess which papers actually, the daily mail, the telegraph and the express, weird, can't imagine the agenda they are pushing, but anyway, they say he has undermined the brexit secretary dominic raab‘s... undermined the brexit secretary dominic raab's. .. slightly more upbeat assessment of what might happen, the sort of "don't worry, we know the risks and we are preparing". you can call it upbeat, i would say... the press are saying that he calmed and allayed fears. i don't think that's true. i think the publication of this report, this is a series of planning notices from
11:33 pm
the government saying how they are preparing for a no deal scenario with brexit. if anything it hasjust raised alarm, raised people's concerns and we've come a long way from before the referendum when we had liam fox saying it could be the easiest thing in the world and next thing you know, fast forward two yea rs, thing you know, fast forward two years , we thing you know, fast forward two years, we are stockpiling drugs, we are warning british expats they might not be able to access pensions, telling manufacturers and farmers that their businesses might go bust very easily, you know, this is not the scenario that anybody voted for and i think it's incredibly reckless the government to not be clear in how the reality is that you really cannot mitigate against the no deal. you cannot mitigate against that level of damage that it will cause the economy and all of us. so they are calling him eeyore hammond, i
11:34 pm
wouldn't want to stress that dominic rabi is being tikerish, but there has been some division. people complain the government hasn't been issuing statements or papers in relation to the no—deal brexit, they have done so today and they are criticised anyway. if you don't want to leave the eu you think brexit is a disaster and to leave the eu you think brexit is a disasterandl to leave the eu you think brexit is a disaster and i don't think anything will change, you know, your mind on that, but for others who think that brexit ultimately in the long—term will be the right decision for britain will of course initially there will be some disadvantages, but in the long—term it should be in the overall advantage to leave the european union. so what philip hammond has done here, on the day of dominic raab issuing some of the things that no one wants, he has immediately come back, as the daily mail called it, with project fear
11:35 pm
number two. he doesn't want to leave the eu, he is a remainer, so he wants to talk up the worse case scenario if it happens. it is also important that we don't view things in entirely through the economic lens because a lot of people voted for britain other than... all for brexit other than purely for economic reasons. everything in politics seems to come down to the economics of it, when actually other issues are also important. economics of it, when actually other issues are also importantlj economics of it, when actually other issues are also important. i am sorry, laura, by people not having access to medicine because they are ill, farmers going bust, that is the reality of economics, don't pretend it won't affect people's lives in a daily whale, that's what economic beings, it has real consequences. yes, and social cohesion has consequences, yes, and social cohesion has consequences, wi'io yes, and social cohesion has consequences, who governs you, brussels or westminster, and people voted to say they want westminster to be supreme and that's exactly
11:36 pm
what ultimately i think will happen when the brexit process finishes. slightly more neutral headline on the times, brexit splits and cabinet laid bare by hammond and in a bit more detail as to what the divisions are. yes, so, these are actually the same divisions that we've seen play out over the last few years. we have, you know, they are still called remainers in the government, in the cabinet, but they are advocating for a soft brexit, and on the other side we have a much more extreme fundamentalist brexit, who, you know... you like your labels, other people like their labels. the reality is, laura, most people have accepted that brexit will happen, and what we are trying to do... philip hammond hasn't. we are trying to not make it damaging. nobody wants it to be damaging. and not be damaging ona wants it to be damaging. and not be damaging on a daily basis. these divisions... laura says no one wants ano divisions... laura says no one wants a no deal. no one wants it to be
11:37 pm
damaging. we have people in the cabinet who want no deal. the problem is they are running the clock on the brexit negotiations because they actually want to frustrate the process so that we end up frustrate the process so that we end up with a no deal. that is their preferred scenario. they do want britain to crash out. so that is the conflict that the government has and thatis conflict that the government has and that is why it is so divided. and that is why it is so divided. and that of course is also why it is so difficult for the government to make a deal with the eu. there are these irreconcilable differences in the government. in a sense presumably that's a problem with getting the common line and the eu not saying" if we hold a line you will eventually have to crumble in our direction" is that the calculation in brussels? it might be the calculation in brussels and i think it is risky to walk away without a deal. i think the eu it is risky to walk away without a deal. ithink the eu have it is risky to walk away without a deal. i think the eu have a lot more to lose than britain if no deal is secured. is your instinct that in the end... we will get something? there will be a deal and it will go
11:38 pm
down to the wire, but jacob rees—mogg thinks we could go under the wto rules, but ultimately there will be a deal and it will be last minute. it will be midnight. do you think the process will help to achieve that, rachel, anyway in which this might actually focused the minds of it? no, i mean, as we can see, now we have the cabinet not just divided over the negotiations but divided over the process of preparing for no deal, and actually i think when it comes down to the wire, you know, maybe theresa may will come away with a deal from the eu, but at that state parliament has to vote for it and the reality is there is no majority for anything in parliament. and certainly there is no constituency for the high brexit that theresa may seems to want to get. she doesn't seem to want to face down the fundamentalist in her cabinet. that is the scenario we will see happen in parliament. they
11:39 pm
will see happen in parliament. they will vote it down. if there is anything... if in any way it causes the kind of damage to the economy, jobs, people's livelihoods that is threatening to do. it's ridiculous to say that she is part of the high brexit team. that's clearly not the case or else there would not be the split. she is not the fundamentalist. there are three cohorts. the fundamentalists, the high brexit and soft brexit, she is the high brexit category. she has minds about it that are clearly high brexit, out of the single market, out of the ejc. we won't go through all of that, but we will come back... all of that, but we will come back. . . that all of that, but we will come back... that is ordinarily brexit. it wasn't on the ballot so we will never know. happy story on the front of the times, the lovely photograph of the times, the lovely photograph of nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe, laura, and her daughter, reunited with hope for longer than three days. yes, i
11:40 pm
mean, it is a very good story, it is a really important story, and we all hope that there is a chance perhaps, the ft seems to hint, that it could be longer than three days, i think this is a release two years into a five—year sentence and it might be jeremy hunt can push for this to not just be a few days and it could be absolutely terrible for the daughter and husband. for the iranians it could be good to release her as a gesture at a time when they need to keep britain and the europeans on board in this conflict over the sanctions with the united states and the kind of collapse affectively of the kind of collapse affectively of the iran nuclear deal. the us is pressuring the eu to comply to push with a break over the iran deal and sanctions over iran and this obviously is going to be a good thing for inrun in terms of british
11:41 pm
and therefore by extension europewide diplomacy —— iran. i am delighted that nazanin zaghari—ratcliffe is free for three days, but devastated actually at the idea that she might then have to be separated from this four—year—old daughter who is going to be com pletely daughter who is going to be completely traumatised by that separation. absolutely, and... so let's hope it doesn't happen. we we re let's hope it doesn't happen. we were speaking to an mp earlier who said that she thinksjeremy hunt might tilt the balance by talking about possible diplomatic immunity for her, which might have slightly changed the calculation. yes, obviously diplomats are working hard behind the scenes and there have been excellent campaigns keeping the story in the news agenda. with her husband and other friends and family, where they live in their pa rt family, where they live in their part of london. they've done really well to keep it in the news and i thinkjeremy hunt has done really well by not being borisjohnson! i
11:42 pm
am sure that has gone a long way. indeed! the guardian, this is a story we spoke about in the last review, it is an interesting one, isn't it? yes, the russian bots and the trolls, the same that were responsible for spreading misinformation and fake news around the us election campaign, they... we think they might have come from similar accounts. they came from similar accounts. they came from similar accounts, according to this report from scientists at george washington university in washington, dc, they pushed the information that was anti— vaccine, anti— mmr vaccine ina was anti— vaccine, anti— mmr vaccine in a context where there is a lot of confusion because of fake news put out around that, and the objective was to some its trust, so people didn't know what to believe, because they pushed information that they didn't know as well, so it was really confusing, which is the point of these fake news campaigns, it is
11:43 pm
not the fake news, it is to erode public trust in the media so they don't know what to believe and then they turn off —— sow distrust. don't know what to believe and then they turn off -- sow distrust. does it worry you, laura, what you do is online, that, actually, when you look at the comments that sometimes follow on in the pages it is hard to tell how many come from real people? well, yes, i mean, obviously fake accounts are a problem. i mean, in terms of vaccines, i mean, unfortunately, you would be surprised, across the political spectrum people have mistrust of vaccines, it you know, what you would call a traditional, christian conservative in the us, and people you'd consider left—wing, almost hippy, also mistrust them because it is seen as a natural and it should be left to the child's defences. so,
11:44 pm
obviously the wakefield scandal really hit mmr numbers and it has been difficult to recover from that, they are saying 41,000 cases now in europe. and the measles outbreak in europe. and the measles outbreak in europe. it is probably different reasons in europe, the anti— vaccine movement has grown in the us certainly over the last few years. it's an interesting story and interesting to see more analysis of the other areas. we won't talk about it particularly tonight but an interesting story about the conservative saying they don't want the arron banks in the conservative party who is trying to join to try to keep up the pressure over brexit. let's move on to the telegraph, laura, uk women among the top drinkers. the honour, the unique honour, if that's the right word, this is a report from the lancet, the uk is unique in showing there's no difference in the art of alcohol
11:45 pm
by men and women. although the united kingdom isn't right at the top, we looked it up earlier, it was romanian men i believe who drink the most alcohol. i thought it would be russian but it was romanian. it's unique in that there is no gap between men and women in the uk. gender equality of a kind! again, you'd probably need more research to find out the reason but the experts are saying the ladette women have continued their ladette drinking habits into middle age. with all the consequences to come from that, clearly not the two of you, i hasten to add, i don't think either of you would be described as ladettes when you were younger. does it resonate and chime when it you look at men and chime when it you look at men and women your age, do they drink the same? i think so. more and more people are turning to drink because of our politics. this cohort has
11:46 pm
been identified for a while, these middle—aged drinkers, they've been identified as a high risk group in terms of future potential medical problems. we've heard about that for the last few years i think but this is the first time... there's a lot of pressure, most families have both pa rents of pressure, most families have both parents working and kids, you like to come home. if you both have a glass of wine a night, all week, you are over the limit for the week. especially with summer holidays as well, parents are probably going to be drinking a little bit more. well, parents are probably going to be drinking a little bit morelj certainly don't do that! of course not! is that not correct earlier and earlier? 35! this is a curious story this one. this is on the front of the... actually not just this one. this is on the front of the... actually notjust the this one. this is on the front of the... actually not just the front of the sun, those of a nervous and
11:47 pm
sensitive disposition might want to look away now, rachel. tell us the story under the headline botcha! stephen collins in newcastle was at home watching tv in bed with his partner, he was not closed and he spotted someone trying to nick his car, his range rover, i believe, and his pride and joy, as he has described it. instinct kicked in, le pt described it. instinct kicked in, lept out of bed, didn't get dressed, ran out and stopped this would—be car thief. the sun has some very interesting pictures, thermal i think, so as not to reveal too much. not too distressing tomorrow morning when you go into the newsagent. quite. there are the usual great quotes, i'm sure it's not exactly what he said, they always read so eloquently," bagai realised i was
11:48 pm
naked, he didn't know where to put his hands". there's no reason to have him say anything except it's a faircop —— the have him say anything except it's a fair cop —— the guy. have him say anything except it's a fair cop -- the guy. he was wrestled to the ground by the naked stephen cullen. an extraordinary story. it ends well because they're not going to press charges. do you think he's had enough of a shock to put him on the straight and narrow for the rest of his days? he's very lucky, could have turned out a lot worse for him. it isa have turned out a lot worse for him. it is a good the sun front page, that's for sure. having the pictures, of course, reminds us that these days there are a lot of cctv cameras everywhere. we sometimes forget that actually there's been a proliferation of camera coverage of domestic, of industrial estates, high streets. it's a different world from ten years ago, 20 years ago in
11:49 pm
terms of the amount of coverage. that's definitely true when you throw in social media as well. of the new walk things happening on the street, not necessarily bad things, people are according it within seconds —— of the new. it is very unnerving and different experience of public life to what it used to be —— often new. of public life to what it used to be -- often new. is it changing our perspective on what our big events, what are newsworthy, what is worth sharing when there's so much out there, making it harderfor the papers as well? it has a big impact on privacy. i think there's too much cctv, the amount in london is absolutely ridiculous. it can play an important role in terms of criminal offences. actually in a way it hasn't stopped any of these awful stabbings that have happened in london recently, even though they know they will all be captured on
11:50 pm
cctv. i was at a bar in a previous life, often cctv doesn't capture the crucial moment, it does identify people, it can set the scene. there was a bad stabbing in victoria station, clearly covered with cctv, that didn't stop these teenagers. i would review the whole cctv culture. i don't think there's another country in europe that has the amount of surveillance that occurs in britain, in london at least for sure. i knew before the end of the evening we would have you agreeing on one of the stories in the papers. rachel, laura, thanks for having me huon. it's been a pleasure to have you on. —— thanks for having me you on. that's it for the paper 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:
11:51 pm
and if you miss the programme an evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, rachel shabi and laura perrins. goodbye. newsday coming up after the sport and weather at perux pelloux and good evening. —— hello. a poor goal was conceded to draw 1—1 in the first leg of their europa league play—off against sud in lithuania. celtic‘s frailties at the back were exposed ten minutes later —— against sudova. lots of work to do in the second leg. elsewhere, rivals rangers were 1—0 winners.|j feel for the supporters tonight. you
11:52 pm
know, they've come all the way out here, 200 of them, all the way out, probably trains, buses, the whole thing and it's a disappointing performance for them. they go away, 0k, they seem a goal but we have to be much better than that. burnley need a big comeback in the second leg of their europa league play—off after they were beaten 3—1 by lnp costs a nd after they were beaten 3—1 by lnp costs and they had ben gibson sent off on the night in athens. now, it's not been the return to english by it's not been the return to english rugby chris ashton was hoping for —— by olympiakos. he has been banned for seven weeks after getting a red ca rd for seven weeks after getting a red card for a for seven weeks after getting a red card fora tip for seven weeks after getting a red card for a tip tackle in a preseason friendly last week against castre. he didn't accept the charge but was found guilty by an independent panel process. rugby union reporter chris jones has more. unless the panel dismissed in the sighting, he was a lwa ys dismissed in the sighting, he was always going to get a hefty ban
11:53 pm
because the lowest he could get was six weeks and because he has a dreadful disciplinary record, in 2016 he got two huge bands, one for making contact with the eye area, ten weeks, one for biting, 13 weeks. instead of taking weeks off for mitigation, the panel added one week on. they argued he was provoked —— he argued that he was provoked, but the panel didn't see that as a defence. a big blow for sale who wa nted defence. a big blow for sale who wanted their stuff signing up and running and a massive dent in chris ashton's international aspirations given he returned from france with the purpose of getting back into the england mixed for the november internationals. james binns from hampshire is the only addition to the england squad ahead of the fourth test test against india and the 27—year—old was dropped after the 27—year—old was dropped after the tour of new zealand in april but will provide coverfor the tour of new zealand in april but will provide cover forjonny ba i rstow, will provide cover forjonny bairstow, who broke a finger in the defeat at trent bridge. the question about vince is this will be his
11:54 pm
third chance and whether he's already had opportunities, he's only averaging below 25 in tests, is he good enough for this level? james vince, he's been banging the door down, he scored 847 runs averaging above 55 in the county championship. he led hampshire to the 50/1 day cup. keatonjennings top scored for lancashire as they beat kent to become the first side to get to the finals. stump first ball. lancashire made it home for the loss ofjust six wickets. —— dumped. that is all your sport for now. good night. six wickets. —— dumped. that is all yoursport for now. good night. —— stumped. things are turning much cooler and fresher as you've heard right across
11:55 pm
the board, looking pretty unsettled into the weekend, of course, this weekend is a bank holiday one for many. over the next few days, much cooler and fresher and plenty of showers. the cool air imported from the maritime airstream, bringing a strong north—west wind, feeling lots of showers in the western scotland, northern ireland and parts of north—west england. much of these them, central and southern parts of them, central and southern parts of the country should stay dry but a cooler, fresh start today. 19 in london, closer to 11 or 12 tomorrow morning. chilly start but bright with sunshine in the east, showers from the word go in the north—west, tapping up to become heavier and more thundery through the day, some spreading to southern and eastern parts as well containing help. blustery winds. showers coming along. cooler than these temperatures suggest. 14 to 1819, maybe 20 in london, below the
11:56 pm
seasonal average. “— maybe 20 in london, below the seasonal average. —— 18 or 19. heavy showers in the south—east, they will clear we are eventually and apart from a few showers in northern and western areas, a dry night with clear skies and a really chilly one. temperatures in shelton scotland and north north—east england could see freezing —— shelter scotland. that ridge of high pressure starts to build in from the west —— sheltered scotland. that will keep things more settled for the start of the weekend and. fewer showers around, a few in northern and eastern areas —— start of the weekend. we will start to see more in the way of sunshine into the afternoon. even though it's still going to feel cold for the time of year, it's going to feel a little bit better because the winds will fall light and there will be more sunshine around. then it's going to be chilly on sunday, briefly chilly and bright in the east before the clouds buildup, wet and windy weather through most areas through
11:57 pm
the day, heavy bursts in the hills. late brightness in northern ireland later on but a cool day up and down again, temperatures below the seasonal average. it looks like for many on bank holiday monday things will be a bit brighter, more sunshine across southern areas. as a result, it should feel that little bit warmer too. result, it should feel that little bit warmertoo. certainly result, it should feel that little bit warmer too. certainly feeling cooler for all of us over the next few days. welcome to newsday on the bbc. i'm riko hizon, in singapore, the headlines: after the un's warning of a lost generation of rohingya children, we report from the squalid refugee camps they are forced to inhabit in bangladesh. there's trouble down under. is yet another australian prime minister reaching the end of his political career? i'm ben bland, in london. also in the programme: with his critics saying
