boris may be v m"? boris may be making a but boris may be making a political point himself. and he is turning up fashionably late again to the party, and we know boris johnson likes to party, doesn't he? i think he is also having a pop at philip hammond, the chancellor, as well, who spoke earlier today. as jess was saying, the tory party has pledged £20 billion by 2023 into the nhs, and what he is kind of floated, what philip hammond has floated over the la st philip hammond has floated over the last few weeks, it is that he will get taxes, particularly this being a freeze on tax duty for the last eight years, which could bring in lots of money. the freeze on fuel duty. the freeze on fuel duty, yeah. so they're looking down the silver for money here. what boris is saying is that we shouldn't look to ape corbyn, and it is agreed thatjeremy corbyn, and it is agreed thatjeremy corbyn give quite a good speech last week at the labour party conference,

very perhaps didn't highlight any business friendly policies —— business friendly policies —— business friendly policies —— business friendly policies, but there were policies that the public would like. there is a great caption on this photograph which is an lots of front pages, which says, boris' spokesman insisted the former foreign secretary regularly runs through this field. so he wasn't doing it to poke fun at theresa may, apparently. and whatever else you say, it is an interesting way of jogging. say, it is an interesting way of jogging, with your arms akimbo. he was acknowledging the 20 photographers standing there. call me cynical dart funnily enough, the i has not put that photograph on the front page, but boris is there. the encapsulated within pretty well, don't they, john? yes, jess is absolutely right, this conference is all about what is boris going to say? we retorted other papers and see what little good he is going to announce, but it is at 1.00

tomorrow, at the same time that sajid javid is due to be speaking. and he says, please come along to minor 12.00, and he says, please come along to minor12.00, i and he says, please come along to minor 12.00, i have and he says, please come along to minor12.00, i have got and he says, please come along to minor 12.00, i have got interesting policies as well! so it is a beauty pageant going on here. it is bizarre that boris should just be tearing into the prime minister, but that is what we should come to expect. yes, how big a problem as borisjohnson for the conservative party? —— jess. yes, he is a problem, but he is loved by a lot of the tory heartlands, and we had some polling yesterday at huffpost which says that he is the favoured amongst the public to succeed theresa may, but he would lose tojeremy corbyn in a general election, which is an interesting outcome for him. because obviously, great news for him that he is the favourite to be the next prime minister, but i don't know, it is in trusting, isn't it's he is popular with lots of

conservative party voters. i have covered politics for a decade, and when i have been out on the roads with boris during election campaigns, he is a celebrity, though, to him because they know him and he is a divisive figure, lots of people can stand him, but he has much more appeal with the public than pretty much any other member of the cabinet, or any member commonality is no longer there. john, i wanted to move on to the guardian has tories are urged to get behind theresa may. it is interesting that the focus is on another popularfigure interesting that the focus is on another popular figure in the conservative party, ruth davidson. they are desperately trying not to talk about boris. i'm not sure people can see this, but boris is on the front—page running through fields of wheat. but the —— ruth davidson is a remainer, on the left

of the party as well, frankly a week splash for me, to be honest, because it is about boris, it is hard to ignore him. but she is urging her party to get by the prime minister, so party to get by the prime minister, so it is not kind of cor blimey for me, she would say that. let's move on to the financial times and philip hammond, the chancellor. he made a speech today, a curious speech, referencing not quite the failure of 2ist—ce ntu ry referencing not quite the failure of 2ist—century capitalism. what did you make of it? it is difficult, he was saying we have to offer change, because jeremy corbyn was saying we have to offer change, becausejeremy corbyn and labour are offering change, he did not say that but that is what he meant, so we cannot be the party of continuity. even though they have been in government for years now. it is difficult when you have been in power for this long to drum difficult when you have been in powerfor this long to drum up any sense of excitement and change, and to suggest you're not good carry on doing what you have been doing for the last few years. in contrast to boris, as we said, although he is a

divisive figure, boris is now clearly trying to put that clear water between him and the rest of his party. at least the ones in the cabinet. and therefore, he is saying, come with me, i can offer something fresh, but these guys are reinventing the wheel, basically, and have been in powerfor a number of years, and we are where we are. and let's not mince words, boris and philip hammond absolutely detest each other, because last night philip hammond given interview to the daily mail, the interview to the daily mail was more interesting than the speech she gave. but it was listen listen to him. he seemed on the back foot today, when he was arguing that conservatives are not the party of business, capitalism, which is kind of an astonishing thing to say, because boris was said by sources to say, business and also steve baker, the former brexit minister, criticised the cbi at the weekend in the sunday telegraph. so it feels like the conservatives are

having to say, we are the party of business, we are the party of capitals on, you can trust us. but for them to be in that position, to be almost on the back foot, is an astonishing state of affairs to be in. let's go on the express now, and it is sort of part of this in a way, isn't it, jess brammar? this is tagged and exclusive, so first of all, we need to establish who is actually saying this. they are claiming a cabinet source has told them that legislation has been drafted in order to give us lots of great tax cuts in the event of a no—deal brexit, so we can do the economy a big boost. lots of people worried that the opposite will happen to the economy in a no—deal brexit. it is their exclusive, we can only see the first page solely the first couple of paragraphs, but the first couple of paragraphs, but the idea is basically that it offsets pupils like these, i think, if it looks as if we are hanging over the cliff edge of a no deal. do you set much credence by ed?m

over the cliff edge of a no deal. do you set much credence by ed? it is ha rd you set much credence by ed? it is hard to tell. we are free from the shackles of europe, we can have corporation tax to save money, bright future tomorrow, holding my breath. 0k! a completely different story in the telegraph, just going back to find my telegraph here, and michael gove has talked about this today, potential natasha's law on food labelling after the tragic death of natasha who died after having an allergic direction to a pret a manger baguette. —— allergic reaction. nobody can have failed to be touched by this awful story. no, they can't, and their parents were on various tv programmes, the way we have conducted themselves with dignity and spoken so expansively about it, as you said, cannot fail to touch people, and obviously now, michael gove has taken notice and

the have decided to look at a new low. but it seems clearly that's natasha was failed —— a new law. not just by pret a manger with the lack of food packaging, but also the series of events where they could not get the developer of a litter on the flight because the flight was landing, so it seems like a series of failures, the tale told by her father where refund of her mother and put heron father where refund of her mother and put her on the phone to get her la st and put her on the phone to get her last works, salute heart—rending. terribly sad story, and if they do this, basically there is a loophole in the law that they want to close that you can get around listing the full ingredients on food if it is made on site. economically a good thing, really, what is the downside? food labels will be a bit longer. absolutely. finally, just for now, we moved to the times, and historically have covered extensively today. scientist tells women they aren't suited to physics. this is this italian professor who

has now in fact been suspended by cern, but some quite astonishing comments. would you agree, john? yes, absolutely astonished. he is facing widespread condemnation, and he has doubled down on the point with the times, incidentally, saying that physics was invented and built by men, it is not by invitation, and blamed cultural marxism for indoctrinating others into ideology. and he does say he is notjust expressing an opinion, but this is based on data. this is based on scientific proof. ironically, he was supposed to be talking to a group of women about sexism in physics, and he sprung this on them. what marie curie and scores of other women scientists down the ages would say, i don't know, but this is

unbelievable. it is interesting, though, jess, isn't it? he has told the times he stands by his comments even though he knows they could his career. it is interesting, that is the right word. -- they could ruin his career. it would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating. a funeral scientist is quoted in this times article that makes the excellent point that this isn't about being offended, it is about senior scientists give out research grants and decide whether women getjobs in physics, that is much more worrying than merely offence, because it is actually starving woman from progressing in these careers. that's it for the papers for now. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it's all there for you — 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you to my guests john crowley and jess brammar. only for now, though, because we'll all be back for a longer look at the papers at 11:30. but for the moment,

thanks for watching. goodbye. good evening. after a bright start to monday, cloud started to this read its way in from the west. this is how it looked for a weather watcher in western scotland earlier on. there was some late sunshine in london, but even here, the cloud spread from the north—east. and if we look at the recent satellite picture, you can see the way the cloud has been piling in from the atlantic. this stripe of cloud actually runs quite a long way back into the atlantic. it separates warm airfrom the into the atlantic. it separates warm air from the south from cool air in the north, and for most of us, it will be warm air we feel the effects of wild beast some of the next few days. so with the cloud that has been rolling in, some warm and moist, so we will see some outbreaks of rain. pushing outwards, turning

mistaken murky for some coarse sand hills in the west. and even where the sky is clearly turning out across the north—east of scotland, it will not be too cold. that is because the wind will be picking up here, the windy lake feature across the far north of scotland particularly during tomorrow. further south, for northern ireland, wales, the south—west of england, some cloud and rain. misty and murky with some places in the west. but through the midlands and east anglia and the south—east, i hope the cloud will break up with it and the afternoon, and we are bringing in someone afternoon, and we are bringing in someone air, so afternoon, and we are bringing in someone air, so any afternoon, and we are bringing in someone air, so any sunshine will lift temperatures into the low 205. northern england getting a lot of 5un5hine, northern ireland rather cloudy. for scotland, some 5pell5 of 5un5hine, with showers in the final. the wind gu5t5 —— 5hower5 5un5hine, with showers in the final. the wind gu5t5 —— showers in the far north. gu5t5 could be up to 60 mph for a time across the far north. but those will ease gradually going into wednesday as high—pressure trie5 those will ease gradually going into wednesday as high—pressure tries to ta ke wednesday as high—pressure tries to take charge. this one front moves northwards, bringing some outbreaks of rain across the north and west of

scotland, and the one front behind it. the warm, moist air makes a resurgence, which will bring a lot of cloud with some 5pot5 resurgence, which will bring a lot of cloud with some spots of drizzle, temperature is around ill to 20 cel5iu5 the cloud breaks and get some celsius the cloud breaks and get some sunshine. with that moist air moving in, the chance of some fog patches across southern areas on thursday morning. and for much of england and wales, a dry day. up to the north—east, some outbreaks of rain, temperature is not bad at all time of year. and then uncertainty in the forecast as we move towards the weekend. chance of heavy rain for some of us, but there will be some sunshine as well. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: 200,000 people are in need of urgent help and more than 800 are confirmed dead after the earthquake and tsunami which struck indonesia. this town enters its fourth day
