10:45 pm
we are all looking forward to it. we are all looking forward to it. we are all looking forward to it. the daily telegraph waiting in with a different take on the borisjohnson latest interventions, because of course he has got the borders. jacob rees—mogg backing his plan. this is not exactly shocking news. it would be news if... brexiteers want to lose the brexit. we also know who really wa nts to the brexit. we also know who really wants to get rid of chequers is jacob rees—mogg, so i'm not entirely surprised by this. the canada deal is not perfect in any way. this would be a looser trade deal than the vision which theresa may has set out in the chequers plan. it has been raised as an alternative by donald tusk, but it is a bad deal for britain. it's only some goods, it is good services which is the bulk of our economy. the canada deal
10:46 pm
it still took seven years to negotiate and almost fell apart at the last hurdle because bolton wa nted the last hurdle because bolton wanted to torpedo it and i keep saying it not resolved the northern ireland question even with boris johnson's magical thinking. our economy would suffer as a result of it. we're pushing it because it is clear of chequers brexiteers, but it does not have as many economic benefits as chequers —— clearer for chequers. in the canada file trade deal withjason said it is the real break from the you, but also a break with the european economic model, it is the closest thing to that 2016 vision of the leave, taking back control of monies, borders and law. it does fulfil those things, but it does create other tenant —— challenges, the northern ireland question, borisjohnson, jacob rees—mogg essentially think it's been over blown and calm has to... others think that might not be the case, but it's also the challenge to britain's manufacturing that all
10:47 pm
those goods in supply chain coming across europe might have a bit of a few more... i think at the conservative party conference you will hear a lot more people talking about the obstacles because it's pure, it is cleaner, easier to sell to people, but until you solve the northern ireland problem it does risk breaking up the united kingdom. now we will talk about your paper's front page. a different story, minister calls for probe into our audits, big four. just explain to us what the story is then, sebastian. we have the big four accountancy firms in the uk. there has been a lot of scandal throughout accountancy noticeably gnashed noticeably with the collapse of carillion. we have also seen auditing over bhs and other funds and there a suspicion the model of the big four is not working and the big companies are going to the big four to sign big companies are going to the big fourto sign up big companies are going to the big four to sign up for their account and there's conflict of interest
10:48 pm
there because they are being paid to get the accounts as quickly as. john mcdonnell has been the labour side, thinking about whether they should be calling for break—up of the big four. greg clark, the business secretary, not quite saying that what you asked for a big audit into whether there are these compex of interest. again, this is the conservatives looking at fairness. they think that people feel, not incorrectly, that carillion collapsed, jobs were lost, bhs collapsed, jobs were lost, bhs collapsed, jobs were lost, bhs collapsed, jobs were lost, whose fault is a? is it the accountants? again it is trying to speak to that design for change that says that capitalism is not quite working in its current form. this is so much essential, i am amazed the big four have got away with this for so long. we have had the banking crisis, and the mps expense of crisis, this is the mps expense of crisis, this is the last of the institutions which needs examining. let's take carillion for example. the auditors signed off year after year their account when they had inflated their
10:49 pm
balance by £1 billion. and this is a company that had baked public sectors of the country. they got the same fees and the company year after year, they were in collusion with them. beyond that, they then when them. beyond that, they then when the companies collapsed everyone was going into the administrators, not is thoroughly the same company, part of the big four are benefiting from administration fees as well and also they are all behind the massive use of tax avoidance by major companies and they are often dealing in what i would call dirty money, and they get away with any kind of oversight at all and it really is essential being with that because i think it's one of the biggest national scandals existing open in front of our eyes and no one takes... the big four our great employers, they do a read a lot of wealth and implanted within most countries i think they are not wholly. .. most countries i think they are not wholly... and the extract a lot of wealth from this country as well
10:50 pm
with by using tax havens and facilitating the use of tax havens. there are clearly structural issues here in the question is if they were broken up into a big eight or something different like that... surely you would go for greater competition. obviously we enjoy competition. obviously we enjoy competition. you have to ask what is the fundamental thing that is not working here and one thing at the idea that government would appoint the auditors were publicly listed companies because at the moment you say public listed companies choose an auditing firm and it's the sense that a roundabout between the two of them, so this is a very interesting thing and certainly one to watch. let's just look at a couple of the other stories, fairly briefly. the front page of the times, the tragic picture of a 15—year—old on that plane just as she had eaten the sandwich and of course she had this food allergy and her family now
10:51 pm
calling for much clearer labelling on things like sandwiches from take away shop. what is so tragic about this is a tragedy that could have been avoided. there is this kind of hole in the law which we have only just become aware of, major food chains such as the one she bought her a sandwich from untreated in the same way as someone her a sandwich from untreated in the same way as someone making a sandwich in your local cafe, they do not have to put on the labels whether a product contains a fatal ingredient. i think the coroner has raised this, that government, michael gove said it is something to look at. having laws will change as a result of this and it's terrible that it took a tragedy to wake us up to this, but it's something that can be resolved. let's look at... make sure we talk about a couple of the other front pages because sebastian, the daily mail has picked up on this story about facebook, hackers rating pp million bass boat accounts —— 50
10:52 pm
million. again another data breach by one of the huge social media networks and 50 million is a huge amount of people, and it happened on tuesday and may have just announced it now. again, there is this sense of how much data in our personal information, photos, address is being held on this site, is a really secure? they became aware on tuesday, we don't know when it happened, that is quite an important fa ct happened, that is quite an important fact and one of the questions we wa nt to fact and one of the questions we want to ask is when did this... the fbi is investigating because this book is an american based company and it will take it further but there's a couple of interesting things about this. there has been a 396 things about this. there has been a 3% drop in facebook's share price, millions of dollars out of there straightaway, so it shows the markets are taking this very seriously. the other thing is this is one of the first tax since gdpr, all of those e—mail saying sign up to gdpr to protect your data, the eu says not to 4% of mobile revenue and
10:53 pm
if they did that facebook would be facing a $1.6 billion fine, a huge suit] facing a $1.6 billion fine, a huge sum of money compared to the information commission which could give them half a million pounds here. they are really going to feel that if they are fined for the first time. and we still don't know exactly what data has been taken at the moment. know, and that is the thing. they are saying 50 million people, we don't know which country, they think some might be in the uk because they have asked in the office where facebook is based, corporation tax, they think it could in good uk customers, wejust don't know. let's go back to the telegraph, because we were mentioning the conservative party conference. the map cartoon is an absolute classic. hopefully you can see it on your screen —— matt cartoon. we think it is the conservative party conference because letters have fallen off.
10:54 pm
this must be the place where delegates and visitors there, that of course is a reference to just how disastrous it was the last time around. i remember sitting in that hall for an hour and it was one of the most painful hours. is what theresa may... i think you are probably there as well. there was a prankster, i was going to say one thing for theresa may at least if this conference goes bad but it might... lunnai this conference goes bad but it might... lunna i think that'll conference was so flat ——|j might... lunna i think that'll conference was so flat -- i think that'll conference was so flat last year. she lost an election, boris johnson was attacking her, her party with wit over brexit, you might say what has changed in the past year? i think what we do know... the letters literally fell off the wall behind her, which is what this cartoon is referring to. the one thing we know that will not happen this year is the letters will not fall off because they are not using magnetic letters on the wall. it is going to
10:55 pm
be painted on, there's nothing they can do, so whatever happens the second will not fall apart behind her this time. if she just gets through, that is an improvement on last year. everyone said this with a disastrous speech and filling the end of her, she is nothing if not resilient. she hangs around and you to admire have her a little bit for that. it will be in it -- exciting week will stop thank you very much for that. —— it'll be an exciting week. thank you very much for that. that's it from the papers for now. you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website at bbc.co. uk/papers, and you can watch the programme again on the bbc iplayer. thank you to my guests jason beattie, and sebastian payne. we'll be back with a longer review at 11:30pm. but for the moment, goodbye. good evening. despite a coolerfeel across the country there were lovely spells of sunshine for many today,
10:56 pm
and that led to a beautiful sunset for many as well. take a look at this weather watchers picture into cornwall. despite cloud further north it was just as stunning as you can see from the sunset in the high land, this cloud will eventually thicken further and it will bring some rain into the extreme northwest for tomorrow. this the story so far today with the clouds spilling in and spoiling the sunshine across scotla nd and spoiling the sunshine across scotland and northern ireland and elsewhere with those clearer skies they are going to stay through the night and the temperatures will fall away quite sharply so it'll be a chilly start to saturday morning with some mist and fog patches. we can see those green toes dissenting further south as the temperatures fall away through the night. that means fall away through the night. that m ea ns low fall away through the night. that means low single figures for many of us means low single figures for many of us first thing on saturday morning. a chilly start, maybe a murky one, but that will lift and continue to see lovely sunshine for much of the day. the same time the winds will strengthen into the far northwest, continuing to bring in cloud, we
10:57 pm
will see outbreaks of rain across the northwest, the great glen, the western and northern isles as well. into the afternoon those winds will strengthen further. there is the potential for porting — 50 miles an hour gust of wind underneath the ring, not feeling very pleasant, temperatures a little disappointing for the time of year. generally they will be down on where they should be. 12-14d will be down on where they should be. 12—14d into the far north, highest values may be around 17 or 18 with the sunshine. but as we move out of saturday into sunday, that weather front will push its way steadily south, and just like thursday into friday there's not going to be that much in the way of rain as it moves across england and wales, but it will introduce more cloud will stop slightly different story for the second half of the weekend, a cloudier picture through wales, the midlands, lincolnshire down to the southeast corner at it drips out. behind it breezy and sheri into the far north and west. that's breezy and showery. temperature just below the average for the time of year, 10—12d into the north, highest values at 16 and
10:58 pm
in the southeast corner. monday the 1st of october, and it will continue to feel pretty cool with the wind direction coming from an northwesterly. something a little milder and largely dry on tuesday onwards. this is bbc news. the headlines: president donald trump orders an fbi investigation into sexual misconduct allegations against his nominee for the us supreme court. call the role. the move comes after the senatejudiciary committee voted to approve brett kavanaugh's nomination to the top us court, ten votes to eleven.
10:59 pm
there were dramatic scenes outside the committee before the vote, with women protesting to senators againstjudge kavanaugh. the family of a teenager who died on a flight of an allergic reaction to a pret—a—manger baguette call for new laws on food warning labels.
