hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first the headlines. 1a people have died in a massive storm in the northern philippines. it's the strongest typhoon so far this year, with 20—foot storm surges. in the us, tropical storm florence is causing catastrophic flooding on the east coast — five people have died, as forecasters warn that storm surges remain a dangerous threat. a former british soldier is given a seven—and—a—half—year jail sentence in turkey for helping kurdish forces in the fight against so—called islamic state. and, the english cyclist simon yates secures victory in la vuelta — crowning an extraordinary year for british cycling. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.

with us are the political editor of the sunday mirror, nigel nelson, and the political commentator, jo phillips. iam i am always so pleased when you come here! you just get on with it, don't you? many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer leads on a call by london mayor sadiq khan for a second referendum on the uk's membership of the eu, saying voters should be given the chance to reject a brexit deal. the telegraph on the other hand carries an interview with former tory mp, author and remain—voting jeremy archer... notjeremy, jeffrey archer. we haven't seen him for a long time but he hasn't changed his name! he says he rejects the idea of a second referendum — the main story for the paper is an alleged dispute within the russian intelligence services over the failed assassination of sergei skripal. the express leads on claims that militia groups in libya are trying to get the country's

ruling authority to ‘hand over‘ the brother of the manchester arena bomber, salman abedi — to avoid the possibility of him being extradited to the uk. the mail carries claims of muslim extremists hijacking a bible class at a london prison. and the sunday times has an exclusive interview with leader of the scottish conservatives, ruth davidson — as well as an important discovery made at edinburgh zoo — in short, hi—vis clothing puts pandas off sex. more on that later. i'm not quite sure how they know that... anyway... let's start with the observer. give britain a new referendum on brexit says sadiq khan. how much notice that they take both the mayor of london in this? khan. how much notice that they take both the mayor of london in thi57m isa both the mayor of london in thi57m is a senior politician, so it's another one, broadly the background all this is the people's vote, which

is the campaign which is going for the second referendum backed by tony blair, nick clegg and figures like that. sadiq khan says we are at such a stage in the gauche asians, so far down the trail, it is no deal or bad deal. —— so far down the trail. so they have come out in support of people's vote. what with this referendum asked that is of any use... referendum asked that is of any use... nothing of any use. if you are saying, we don't want this, you are saying, we don't want this, you are saying, we don't want this, you are saying this is no deal. it depends what happens at the end. you could end up with three questions. it could be... do you accept the deal theresa may has negotiated, assuming she does? or you could have assuming she does? or you could have a question saying, we want no deal, we don't like the deal, we will pull out completely without it. or, the third question could be, would you like to stay in the eu after all?

you wouldn't be up to do that. the point would be, depending on the voting system you used, if you used a straightforward voting system, 34% of the population would make up the mind for the rest of the country, which would be bizarre. of course, if there was no deal, you could simply say, we want to leave or stay and just rerun the first render end of —— referendum. and just rerun the first render end of -- referendum. could you have a fourth question? if you don't like this deal, do you want her to carry on negotiating and we will come back with another? it never ends. on negotiating and we will come back with another? it never endslj on negotiating and we will come back with another? it never ends. i think by that time... we couldn't do that. the whole point of a second referendum can surely only be that it is either do you accept the deal she is negotiating or not? what if she is negotiating or not? what if she doesn't negotiate a deal? then do you accept the deal she hasn't negotiated or not? it could be down to those two questions. if she does

come back with a deal, then obviously you have three questions. it goes on a bit, doesn't it?|j obviously you have three questions. it goes on a bit, doesn't it? i can see you with a swingometer, doing the explaining. some people might think that's a bit too many. the explaining. some people might think that's a bit too manylj the explaining. some people might think that's a bit too many. i think it's ridiculous. let's look at the sunday times. may still a bloody difficult woman. this is theresa may saying this of herself? yes, she has done an interview for panorama which will go out on monday this week and has said, in what appears to be quite a hugely well veiled jibe against borisjohnson. she said there's a difference between those who think you can only be bloody difficult in public and those who think actually you bide your time and bloody difficult when the time is right and when it really matters. i think she is trying to up the anti a little bit, to say i am negotiating, i am

a little bit, to say i am negotiating, lam playing hardball, i'm prepared to go all the way and get a deal of some description. we will have to see the whole panorama interview with her but this is the first significant interview ahead of the tory conference and co nfe re nce ahead of the tory conference and conference season and will be significant. it is deliberate. about brexit, behind the scenes at downing street. these remarks are being spun as how she's going to behave at the dinner, which is like a mini eu summit at salzburg on sunday. she's suggesting she might become a bloody difficult woman again. that seems to be the idea. she has to sell the chequers deal to them at this dinner and they chuck out the next morning, debated amongst themselves and come up debated amongst themselves and come up with some sort of verdict. it's one thing being difficult and another annoying people, isn't it? craig zach orr. she has people around her, her own cabinet,

fighting like cats in a sack and there is all this stuff about philip hammond and, in fact, in other papers there's stories that we know. priti patel and steve baker have been accusing downing street of leaking the briefing by mark carney, the governor of the bank of england, his briefing he gave to cabinet earlier this week. also going back to the sunday times, this interview with theresa may. there is a huge rebellion in the cabinet against philip hammond, the chancellor, who seems to be speaking perfect sense to me, but i am not in the cabinet. let's look at the sunday times. sajid javid, tax cuts would help the uk to help with a no—deal brexit. wilby brexiteers like this as an idea? say it won't be necessary because it will be fine? javid is

quite curious. this is part of his pitch to become the leader. he keeps coming up in cabinet with his own ideas for brexit, at which point theresa may slaps him down. she becomes a bloody difficult woman at that point. the idea of tax cuts to boost the economy obviously is suggesting the economy will dip after brexit anyway. this was basically the idea that gordon brown had after 2008, when we had austerity. rather than the austerity and cuts that came with it, actually invest money into the economy and try to boost it that way. tax cuts ata time try to boost it that way. tax cuts at a time when the cost of living is going up anyway, and the cost of living is outpacing wage increases and we all know that it is going to get a lot worse after brexit, when the price of food will rise and because of the summer and everything else. the idea is if you cut taxes, people have more to spend. those

we re people have more to spend. those were the two things, rather than austerity pose 2008.|j were the two things, rather than austerity pose 2008. i do understand that. basic economics. put money into it. i think the brexiteers won't like it because it suggests brexit will cause an economic crash. and we shouldn't need the tax cuts in their view, because we will be all right. yes, so prosperous after brexit. i'm going to overjeremy archer! looks awfully like jeffrey archer. we might deal with that later. kremlin spies in crisis over skripal. are they really? russian secret services in a bit of a tears? they came to salisbury to see the cathedral, what's wrong with you, don't you believe it? upset the other agencies. according to the telegraph and their sources, from

british intelligence, they say the other russian secret services are terribly upset with the gru because they made a hash of the whole thing, leaving perfume bottles around and so on. leaving perfume bottles around and so on. i think the bigger question is what's this all a botched operation or in fact was it deliberate? normally... deliberately botched? deliberately left and the door knob, the novichok on the door knob, whether the perfume bottle was thrown away because they didn't care, but that was not part of the botch. in which case, means the russians are no longerjust targeting individuals, they have a com plete targeting individuals, they have a complete cavalier disregard for the loss of innocent life. that is the worrying bit. it means they have upped the ante. where this story appears to have come, and you will know so much better because you are closer to the spooks and espionage world. thank you. ijust blew closer to the spooks and espionage world. thank you. i just blew your cove r! world. thank you. i just blew your cover! it does look as though this story has come from a briefing from

security services. which is basically saying, we have done a lot of painstaking police work to identify these people. this is quite good. look what we've done, we now have russia on the back foot. yes, but... the question really comes down to whether this was deliberate oi’ down to whether this was deliberate or not. this is my point about this story works on the basis of a botched operation. . if they were innocently put on life at risk, that's not botched but taking it from cold war and moving it towards hot walks. the suggestion is the two men who came to salisbury were deliberately paraded on tv to sort of humiliate them. that is what the story is saying, this is their punishment for saying we were going to see the cathedral, which nobody believed! plausible deniability. page two the mail on sunday, new

probe launched into broken rail industry. this is something chris grayling is due to announce, this long review. it is likely that keith williams from john lewis partnership could be heading this up. yes, that seems to be the current thinking. that would be interesting, because as we all know, john lewis is a co—operative in the sense that everybody working there is a partner in the company. there is a lot of, call it within the rail industry, to call it within the rail industry, to call dill the similar model. clearly what we have of umpteen different companies running things. we had the collapse of the east coast mainline franchise, the third time in a decade it has cancelled. we have strikes that are driving people absolutely nuts and south west trains, which have been going on it seems since beeching was around. there is nonsense that the timetable rescheduling, which is sitting on

chris grayling's doorstep. they have to do something. they have to do something. but how many times do we have these reviews, people come up with really good and sensible stuff and then government goes... isn't the trouble is that transport requires very long—term planning, and yet politicians don't look like they will be in power all that time? there is bad temper and a completely different way of doing it. my view is public services ought to be nationalised. the railway is a classic case that should be nationalised and not in the private sector. the private sector has failed to many times to keep doing this. i know everyone will say, british rail was awful when it was in public ownership, but we are a long way away from that. this is actually, it's sort of nationalisation light. if the workers have a role in it, and one would assume that john lewis workers have a role in it, and one would assume thatjohn lewis model would assume thatjohn lewis model would include the entire rail

network, instead of bits of south—eastern... network, instead of bits of south-eastern. .. it is better but i would go the whole hog. let's get back to the sunday times. we only have a few seconds. panda bears are very sensitive creatures and they are not very sexy, it appears. they are not very sexy, it appears. they are not very sexy, it appears. they are not doing what they are supposed to be doing, having babies. they have been in edinburgh zoo for ages and ages, 2011. they have to go back in 2021. they are easily distracted. a p pa re ntly in 2021. they are easily distracted. apparently by things like high visibility vests. they have had to be banned on workmen near the pandas. also leaf blowers they'd like very much. very touchy. we must mention the men cartoon very quickly. two pandas sitting there and the caption is, they should try hive is jackets on borisjohnson. that is it from the papers this

hour. nigel and joanne will be back at 11:30pm fora hour. nigel and joanne will be back at 11:30pm for a look at the papers. next on bbc news, it's the travel show. how do you pay for things abroad? most of us will collect cash from the currency exchange, trade in traveller's cheques, or put it all on our cards. we pay the fees and gulp at the charges. but now there's a new breed of traveller with a digital wallet and a globally—used form of money known as cryptocurrency. i am in australia's queensland region, catching a flight from brisbane. this is the country's first cryptocurrency—friendly airport. it's completely digital. all transactions log onto a block chain. everyone in the world can see your transactions, so it is a lot more efficient and a lot more transparent. unlike traditional currencies, the digital variant isn't issued by banks or governments. to me, it's about an increase of freedom, freedom of investments,

and freedom of transactions and freedom of money. so, what are the advantages of paying for things by bitcoin or any other digital currency? it's really safe and simple. there are a lot of people with digital currencies and they don't know where to use them. hi, can i get a takeaway medium flat white, please? and can i pay by litecoin, please? i've never done this before, you've got to help me. 0k. some investors have made a lot of money speculating on bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. ok, so ijust scan the shop's qr code... but for day—to—day transactions, like buying a cup of coffee, it is often not particularly useful, with few retailers accepting it. we get the tick, money sent. that was quick. that is what brisbane airport is pushing to change, with the assistance of the company travelbybit. we enable anyone to take payments

in cryptocurrencies. we have built up an entire infrastructure so you can travel through queensland and pay for your journey with cryptocurrency. my flight takes me to gladstone, a small town on queensland's coast and an hour and a half's drive from our final destination, agnes water and 1770, australia's first cryptocurrency—friendly tourist town. 25 litecoin... even the taxi accepts cryptocurrency. so i just click send? yes, and i should get a tick here when it goes through. and it's done. done. over 30 businesses in this small

beach community accept crypto. so during my stay i am going to rely entirely on my digital apps. so, looking in my wallet, i've got american dollars, i've got japanese yen, and i've got australian dollars. and even more annoying is these coins. what do you do with them when you get home? travelling with crypto, ijust have a couple of apps on my phone. so, i'm going to pay by cryptocurrency today. absolutely. i am going to pay by bitcoin. i'm going to pay in litecoin. in litecoin? ok, so i slide to send here... payment is relatively straightforward. i open an app, type in my pin number, scan in the retailer's qr code, and we are done. it is even possible to add a tip and pay for a tip in cryptocurrency.

who knew? but as with any emerging technology, there is the occasional hiccup. it is taking a while. it is. it always helps to charge your ipad. maybe it is a wi—fi issue? there we go. done. all right, you got it? yes, all approved, thank you very much. thank you. amazing, that was so fast. i feel kind of weird not having signed anything. tick, done. here, almost everybody in the tourist business, from posh hotels to cafes, restaurants and tour operators, arejumping on board the crypto wagon. so, it is all well and good to be scanning and tapping my way around

agnes water and 1770, but what are the pitfalls? the main disadvantage is always going to be, particularly with really volatile and easily—traded digital currencies, that the price will fluctuate while you are on holiday. so my number one piece of advice for anybody who is planning to use cryptocurrency instead of your local currency, trading into aussie dollars, is to do the maths. do some research, ask yourself how long you are going away for and how much it will cost to be buying and selling this currency. i don't think it actually needs to be terribly different to using any kind of foreign currency, it is just that with a bit of research you may come out ahead and also have a bit of crypto fun. and finally this week,

we head to italy's abruzzo region, east of rome, and a fortified medieval village. it is best known for its ancient architecture, cheeses, and local wine. it is also home to one of italy's best—kept secrets that has been keeping the area in business. amelia went to visit. they are known as italy's ghost towns, thousands of ancient settlements across the italian countryside that have fallen into ruin as a lack ofjobs, poverty, and natural disasters drove away the people living there. they have been left frozen in time. this village was practically deserted after the 2009 earthquake. as you can see behind me, more and more people are starting to come back. it is thanks to a bold idea that is breathing life and money into a forgotten few of these rural communities. the concept is a simple one, converting the deserted buildings into an almost

invisible scattered hotel. it's called albergo diffuso. the village of santo stefano di sessanio dates back to medieval times. when an entrepreneur arrived 20 years ago, it was crumbling and almost abandoned. people have gone away, they went away because it is very poor. there was no economical chance to survive in such a place. he wanted to find a way to bring local people and tourists back to the village while still preserving the area's ancient culture and traditions. he decided upon a sustainable tourism model. these may look like deserted buildings from the outside, but inside individual hotel rooms have been created throughout the village, restoring the design from the middle ages. they have really tried

to keep things exactly as they would have been. the door is made from reclaimed wood. the furniture has been made by local artisans. it is not super luxurious, but it really looks amazing. you can feel what it would have been like to live in this village all those years ago. but this sustainable tourism model relies on staying hidden. when i arrived there was one hotel, now there are 21 hotels. you will never ever see these hotels. there is no sign or anything. we want to preserve the village. guests are encouraged to take part in local life and residents make money from their traditional skills, like weaving and crafts. or traditional cooking lessons that teach visitors how to make ancient recipes and local breads from the region. and you can also hunt for delicacies like black truffles in the nearby mountains. that's huge. it took five years of restoration and millions of euros of private investment to transform santo stefano di sessanio

into a tourist destination. many of italy's other deserted villages could never afford this kind of investment, but in santo stefano di sessanio the albergo diffuso model is slowly helping to rebuild the community. it is a good model because you preserve the history and at the same time you produce economy. so sustainable tourism that develops the village? absolutely. that is all we have got time for this week. coming up next week: christer is here to look over some of the best moments from the last few months. from lucy's look around one of south africa's most notorious skyscrapers... it is incredible to think of everything that has happened here. it is a real haunting feeling. to a difficult rail

journey through jordan. .. for a re—enactment, it is pretty realistic. i'm actually scared. we have had some wild times this year. i hope you canjoin us if you can. if you want to follow us on our travels in real time you can sign up to our social media feeds. all the details should be on your screen now. until next time, from me, carmen roberts, and from the team in queensland, australia, it's goodbye. hello. things turn increasingly windy for many of us over the next few days, and that process has already begun across northern ireland and scotland, strengthening winds here overnight, some rain, some of which will be heavy. that will extend its way down into parts of northern england and north wales. further south and east, mainly dry. a mixture of variable cloud and clear spells. these are the average wind speeds overnight,

but gusts will be higher, perhaps touching a0 or 50 miles an hour on irish sea coasts and for the western isles of scotland. but it is a mild night for all of us, temperatures only dropping to between 11—14 celsius. so here is how it's looking through sunday. we have an area of high pressure to the south of the uk, to the north and west, an area of low pressure. these fronts sinking their way south eastwards across the uk. as they run into the area of high pressure, any rain on it will tend to fizzle out, but it's a damp start across parts of scotland, northern england, the midlands and into wales. notice how through the afternoon it just really becomes a band of cloud, with the odd patch of light rain across the midlands, wales and south—west england. for the north and the south of that cloud bands, some spells of sunshine, but quite a breezy day for all of us, although not as strong as the winds were overnight. still quite gusty for the western isles of scotland. some patchy rain at times here. where we have the sunshine, temperatures up between 17—23 celsius, warmest for east anglia and south—east england. we are keeping an eye on this area of low pressure because it's the remnants of what was hurricane helene.

by this stage, certainly not a hurricane but still bringing some very strong winds later on monday. and also some warm, tropical air. so by tuesday, could see temperatures across east anglia and south—east england getting up to 2a or 25 celsius. on monday, for most of us mainly dry through daylight hours. a fair amount of cloud across wales, central and southern england, but some sunshine through the afternoon. outbreaks of rain arriving into northern ireland, parts of scotland and north west england and the winds starting to pick up. again, these are the average speeds but the gusts will be strengthening. overnight monday into tuesday, gusts getting up to 70 miles an hour for scotland and northern ireland. again, some warmth around in parts of england and wales but a very messy and unsettled picture monday night into tuesday. see how those isobars are tightly packed together. some really strong winds for a time as we go into tuesday. through the early part in next week, strong winds, very warm in the south and east, some rain for the north and west. paul
