11:30 pm
hello, this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. two key senators give their backing to president trump's us supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh, meaning he looks likely to be confirmed in a senate vote this weekend, despite facing sexual assault allegations. the head of an nhs trust at the centre of scores of allegations of poor maternity care says he won't be resigning. an independent review into a series of baby deaths and injuries at the shrewsbury and telford hospital nhs trust is looking at more than 100 cases. one week after an earthquake and tsunami hit indonesia, more than a thousand people are still feared buried under mud and rubble. more than 1500 people are already known to have died following the disaster. a man who pushed a 90—year—old passenger onto tube tracks in central london has been found
11:31 pm
guilty of attempted murder. paul crossley, who's a6, told his trial that he didn't intend to kill the man. the government is facing criticism for not alerting mps to problems in disposing tons of medical waste and body parts, despite convening an emergency committee to discuss it last month. the shadow health secretary, jonathan ashworth said it was "quite staggering" that parliament hadn't been informed. hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are benedicte paviot, the uk correspondent for france 2a, who's also president of the foreign press association, and claire cohen, the women's editor at the daily telegraph.
11:32 pm
lovely to have you both back in. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily mail tells its readers that doctors will invite sufferers of conditions such as diabetes, arthritus and asthma to group sessions to discuss their care. arthritis and asthma to group sessions to discuss their care. the same story is on the front of the telegraph — which says the move is part of the ten year plan for the nhs, expected be rolled out later this year. unilever, the company behind brands including marmite and dove, scrapping plans to move its headquarters to the netherlands makes the front of the ft weekend. the daily express calls unilever‘s decision "a victory for brexit britain." a week on from the earthquake and tsunami in indonesia, the independent has a picture of the devastation on its front page, reporting that the death toll has
11:33 pm
risen to over 1,500 people. the times reveals that the kremlin is targeting young british teenagers via social media to spread disinformation. the shortage of epipens is putting children with allegies at risk, says the i. and the winners of the nobel peace prize make the front of the guardian — so a real mix of stories making the front pages of tomorrow's papers. we are going to start with the times, and we are all watching events taking place in washington, but first, what you make of it?” thought it was depressing but riveting. this story has started off with christine ford giving her testimony, and brett kavanaugh disk
11:34 pm
—— responding in quite a rambunctious and aggressive manner. whatever you might think about the allegations made against him, whether you believe them or whether you don't, there is no doubt that his temperament and his bias quite frankly mean that he is not suitable for this position, this lifelong position. and his advanced to the final vote looks set to, it is quite shocking, there is a real human angle to this story. we have been captivated weight in this country and many people across the world, women are very angry, and many people across the world, women are very angry, we saw and many people across the world, women are very angry, we saw them turning out in the streets yesterday in the us, because christine blasey ford is what you might call a perfect witness. she is middle—aged, she is married, she is articulate, and there must be a lot of women looking at her right now and saying, if she wasn't believed, why would i be? this is the second time this has happened with the supreme court,
11:35 pm
backin happened with the supreme court, back in the 80s, anita hill... she wasn't relieved. they were trying in the procedure last week to make some changes. but i think it is a pressure cooker atmosphere. this is what the times refers to, and it has clearly divided the us, it has become incredibly political, and there is that aspect as well, and it is even worse apparently then be any to hill, who is this nomination which is now hanging in the balance is so close, 51— a9, is the most partisan division on a supreme court justice 1881. and that is quite extraordinary. i think what is interesting is that the vote is due to ta ke interesting is that the vote is due to take race on saturday, and that is, if it is equal, then the vice president mike pence will have the casting vote. i think that, we know
11:36 pm
which way he will vote, obviously he would vote in favour of kavanaugh, because that would be president trump's position. agreeing with you about the non— suitability of a growth three —— of kavanaugh. retired supreme courtjustice john paul stevens says mr kavanaugh does not belong on the highest court. he says he is a fine federaljudge but his performance during the supreme court hearing is causing to change his mind. it is tainted, the supreme court. i think it is interesting, that if indeed judge kavanaugh believes that this did not happen, that he is not the person who committed the offence that doctor ford is alleging, that it happened but it was someone else, not him, one can understand his frustration and his anger. but where does that fit in to being a judge? that is why
11:37 pm
that thing of unsuitability... it is interesting, it is not interesting, but given the circumstances, that he could have reduced himself and said actually, now, ican could have reduced himself and said actually, now, i can see that the supreme court is a bigger institution than me and i am damaging it, the perception of the supreme court, and theirfourfor that reason i am going to stand down. he has the unwavering backing of the president. you have donald trumps standing up at a rally in mississippi this week and mocking doctor ford. he doesn't know what the truth is, none of us does, and yet he feels confident enough in his manner he can stand up and mocha and says she hasn't presented the right sort of evidence. —— mock her. says she hasn't presented the right sort of evidence. -- mock her. going on what we had tonight from susan collins, what did you think the arguments that she put forward, at
11:38 pm
one point it felt like a masterclass in the court room. she talked about the amount of research she had put into it and she came out from the off calling the whole process dysfunctional, it had reached gutter level, it had hit rock bottom, it was a dysfunctional circus. i kind of thought at that point, oh, she is going to say no on this. and then she started putting the argument for, at the end of the day, we didn't have any witnesses. i thought that's it, it is a yes. what did you think of the arguments she put forward ? think of the arguments she put forward? they refuse to sabina mark judge, mr kavanaugh's friend, he sent a letter in, but they had options, and there are lots of people saying the fbi did not interview a number of key witnesses. i wondered as well whether she might vote no. we haven't mentioned the timing of this. the mid—term
11:39 pm
elections are coming up, there is that urgency, but i think many people agree that that one week fbi investigation is simply not sufficient. there was also a lot of criticism when looking at the process directed towards the democrats. but what i found interesting at this point that susan collins brought into question the impartiality of the supreme court and the president. that involvement, because you do have to wonder now, the supreme court is meant to have nothing to do with the governing administration, you do wonder now, don't you? face-to-face, repeatedly, conversations on the phone, what i didn't hear in a conversation there is her mentioning that this was under oath. there is a difference, thatis under oath. there is a difference, that is why people do take an oath ina court, that is why people do take an oath in a court, because that is very serious. but stay with the times,
11:40 pm
but go back to the front page, and british teenagers are the target of an internet research agency, originating from russia. this is a new angle, because what we have had is that we have had the accusations first from jeremy hunt the foreign secretary, and then saying that the russians had, under different guises on the internet, and under different twitter accounts, in fact been doing all kinds of hacking and tweeting, and this was clearly a very targeted on western democracies, not only because ukraine, the american elections, the democratic party lea ks elections, the democratic party leaks during elections, the democratic party lea ks during the elections, the democratic party leaks during the presidential elections in america, and other countries. and then you have holland, where you have those four
11:41 pm
alleged russian diplomats in the car park of the marriot hotel with equipment, clearly not an awful lot of cash, one wonders what that was for. it was proven that they are gi ute connections. —— gru connections. then we had those numbers that there we re then we had those numbers that there were something like 80,000 gru spies across the world. we had these allegations of gru spies and other young people on twitter, purporting to be harry potter fans, young people on twitter, purporting to be harry potterfans, using images of celebrities such as the actors emma watson, and getting lots of followers on social network so that they can then see their misinformation, one of them is a youtube channel which has been described as" the blue peter of
11:42 pm
russian propaganda", it is not clear on how many people have been allegedly targeted, and whether the kennett —— kremlin controlled accounts, allegedly in this article in the times, have been betraying gm foods and other lifestyle factors is dangerous, basically selling trouble. what happened in the netherlands is basically old school russian espionage, four men in a car park, that is the sort of espionage that russia used to pride itself on. what do you think of the targets, teenagers? they are vulnerable, aren't they. we have seen that with aren't they. we have seen that with a numberof young aren't they. we have seen that with a number of young people who have been vulnerable to extremism online. twitter has been mentioned, i don't know how many young people are on
11:43 pm
twitter, but jeremy hunt know how many young people are on twitter, butjeremy hunt has said they are trying to foster instability around the world, this is the new type of cold war we are facing. this is us research in south carolina, and we should add that no doubt in the next few hours, both russian foreign ministry, the russian foreign ministry, the russian embassy in the united kingdom and others will deny that this is actually happening. claire, could you take us to the front of the daily telegraph, berkeley ‘s faces credit misspellings that —— mis—selling scandal. —— barclay‘s. 0ne mis—selling scandal. —— barclay‘s. one would have hoped that barclay's bad headlines were far behind it. it is saying that people have been pressured into taking out loans they might not afford them and that is according to an internal report telegraph as saying. this is as reckon this —— recently as 2016,
11:44 pm
this is after the ppi settlements. this is for cars and furniture and home improvement. all the things we are buying frau homes all the time. what does that mean for us as consumers? does it mean that as with ppi we can claim it back? there is compensation being paid already, after the billions of pounds at ba rclays had after the billions of pounds at barclays had to set aside for ppi settlements, i should think they are feeling this quite keenly. the daily telegraph consumer affairs editor says that she can reveal that the financial conduct authority has ordered the bank to change its practices and the bank has agreed to compensate mis—selling victims as pa rt compensate mis—selling victims as part of a major review. we had the international monetary fund this week warning that we are on the risk of another financial crash. it was ringed to car loans as well. —— links. let's turn to the guardian, and there is secretly by the prime minister to get labour to back her
11:45 pm
brexit deal. not very secret if it is on the front page of the guardian. if it was secret downing street would not be very happy. this is an exclusive, says the guardian. in fact apparently there are these plans have being drawn up by theresa may and her advisers and helpers, have begun a secret charm offensive aimed at persuading dozens of labour mps to actually backed her brexit deal. where it becomes a bit unstuck, and the timing of this will be interesting because a allegedly it has already begun, but it will really go into overdrive just before and after theresa may comes back from presumably the october summit with a deal, because then the purpose would be to get a vote through parliament within a fortnight. where it becomes unstuck,
11:46 pm
particularly, this name is start being thrown out there. and privately or not so privately, some of the names that up being —1 cabinet member, allegedly, has identified some cabinet mps, but then you start getting the denials from a remain. and others. —— a remainer. it makes sense that downing street and the tory party would do this. tuesday she has a cabinet meeting so obviously there will be talking about chequers, all a new version of chequers, a possible canada deal.|j a new version of chequers, a possible canada deal. ijust think how divisive this could be. you could see why this would make sense and it would make sense that some of these politicians would be moved up,
11:47 pm
maybe deselection by the party, in any case. but it would be the death knell for brexiteers backing any sort of theresa may chequers deal. and it would possibly put any sort of brexit deal in thrall to these labour mps because they were built to make demands to put in place. it would be divisive. in our personal interest and the interest of our health, at the daily mail is reporting that the doctor is going to see all of us, now, and we are looking at 15 people. we just need another 12. would you want to share your health concerns with a group of people, even if it is just a headache, perhaps? would i want to be sitting in a room with 15 people who are suffering from the same thing as i am and get the results? i don't know if i would want to do that. other patients will be made to
11:48 pm
signa that. other patients will be made to sign a form of confidentiality. the town cry will not be repeating it around... so what is the problem? -- crier. this has been repeated in several towns already. at least, i suppose, in big cities, you have a liberal on and —— level of anonymity. gps are complaining about being overwhelmed. we are in a situation where we already using our weekend and evening appointments to full capacity. 0ne weekend and evening appointments to full capacity. one in four gozo news. people are only getting ten minutes facetime with their gps. according to this, you would only get two minutes. so you are in a group of 1a. who is in that room
11:49 pm
with you? a facilitator and a clerk that have had one day's training, and the gp would not be in there for long. but as we were saying previously, do you get a black mark if you do not attend that? doesn't advantage people who are confident or able to advantage people who are confident orable to — advantage people who are confident or able to — and not bothered by that — who will lead penalise?m gives the gps and that is if you only get two minutes. it does not give the patients an advantage. the sessions could take two hours. you are sitting in a room for what could be two hours. and then they will overrun, of course. . . be two hours. and then they will overrun, of course... of course. and then discussing ailments. it could ta ke then discussing ailments. it could take half a day. that is ludicrous. who has two or three hours out of their day to go to the gp? what worries me is the gp is not listening as such. you know? the symptoms manifesting could be hiding
11:50 pm
something a lot more serious and you just don't have the chance... so who decides 15 would be a good idea? the population in the united kingdom, the last time i looked, did not explode by 15. the problem is that doctors are being overworked, but equallyjunior workers, doctors are being overworked, but equally junior workers, and also they get trained in this country, as do nurses, and then they think, well, it is to present to live in london or other big cities, et cetera, can't afford it, so let me go cetera, can't afford it, so let me go abroad and use all my training. it would interesting to know where they got this idea from, is it working somewhere else? five or ten yea rs working somewhere else? five or ten years down the line, the cost of these group sessions, because people we re these group sessions, because people were treated properly... we are saying it is not good for eating... yes, not anything. we will stay with the front of the daily mail. why possibly with this advert have caught your attention? shocking on the sixth of october. caught your attention? shocking on
11:51 pm
the sixth of 0ctober.|j caught your attention? shocking on the sixth of october. i had to mention this because the daily mail, god bless them, they say nukes and start collecting your tokens to start collecting your tokens to start getting your christmas tree. that is all well and good, but it is the sixth of october tomorrow! how can we not be getting bombarded — it is eventism. it has become so commercial. and for those who put up their christmas tree on christmas eve... do you really? this is a spoiler. i think other fireworks i do have a free run. that is it fought the papers denied. —— 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, benedicte paviot, and claire cohen, and from us all, goodbye.

11:54 pm
to anfield since their rather hostile champions league tie in april. then the city bus was pelted with objects on arrival at the stadium — breaking windows and prompting extra security this time. in terms of the match, pep guardiola doesn't have a good record against the liverpool managerjurgen klopp. in their 1a previous contests, the spaniard has won just five against the german and he's lost the last three. i have a lot of respect about the way he plays, how proactive they are, at theirteams, his way he plays, how proactive they are, at their teams, his team will start i had to beat him, i had to try to beat him, i tried to beat the tea m try to beat him, i tried to beat the team and i will try this season. and in premier league we did it, and in champions league we could not do it. exeter are top of rugby union's premiership, continuing their perfect start to the season with a victory over
