prime sticks to the compromise plan that she seems to be thinking of. quite in strattera. eileen foster has been quite clear that the dup nuclear redlined is that northern ireland to be treated differently from the uk. we now hear about a new backstop position which would effectively mean that northern ireland would remain in the single market with good and the rest of the uk with saying —— good and the rest of the uk with saying — — we good and the rest of the uk with saying —— we the single market. but the whole the uk would stake in the customs union for an indefinite period of —— indefinite period. dup mps are kicking off the top about this. in the way the parliamentary arithmetic is set up, i certainly would not be playing chicken with them. ithink would not be playing chicken with them. i think they are deadly serious on this. and we look at the numbers in parliament now, i don't know what theresa may is doing. this plan that she now has god does not have the support of the dup along with tori brexiteers in her own party, she's a big trouble. the government have to think again. do think this is a serious threat was

about i think it is. the vote that the dup sustained on the agriculture bill which is not an butjust to show strength really. theresa may is incredibly fragile with their hold on power with this slender hold on the majority with the dup is a falling to pieces around brexit. the problem is even though parliament voted overwhelmingly to get purses started —— —— to get started, theresa may is losing people, she's losing the dup. she is losing potentially 30 or 80 hard brexiteers. and she refuses to reach out across party boundaries and try to reach into the labour party because she knows that would be the end for chris prime minister. the real —— and of her career as parameter. the real challenge the summit in the eu next week and beat me. . what on earth can stitch

together enough votes in parliament for any kind of brexit? and yet the prime minister has been state —— saying that she understands the unionist concerns and she as british prime minister won't do anything that divides the union. she is insisting that she is ugly to sign up insisting that she is ugly to sign up with it to anything that is going to affirm —— defend the dup. up with it to anything that is going to affirm -- defend the dup. but thatis to affirm -- defend the dup. but that is what is happening. and that is the thing with theresa may. i looked over the last mother what she said saying that the chequers plan was it. but now it will be full— blown and we may have to change xyandzto get full— blown and we may have to change x y and z to get this through. and i think when you are looking from her point of view theresa may must note that the dup are not going to support this and some tori brexiteers are not going to support this. the thought is that they may have to get enough votes over the weekend. we've heard that she has been meeting with people and that

there are labour meetings. but can you imagine people in the tory party if they are predicating the success of her plan now on getting jeremy corbyn's backing. jeremy corbyn did say that he offered the support of the labour party if there was staying in the customs union, staying in the customs union, staying in the single market and then some fluff about protecting jobs, protecting consumer standards. actually for somebody who believes in working across party on matters of the norm is natural interest, i think if theresa may did have the kind of gumption to book across party lines and try to pull together a coalition of reasonable centrist people from across the parties, to actually find a way of delivering brexit, it is the only way to cling on to brexit which i did not vote for. but without it we might get nothing at all stop with david davis has warned himself that this would be devastating for the tory party. the labour mps backing theresa may.

i think the labour mps backing theresa may. ithinkl the labour mps backing theresa may. i think i would go down badly. millions of voters would be disgusted. the telegraph has more on this deal. it seems as though in a big try to avoid any kind of border oi’ big try to avoid any kind of border or division between northern ireland and the rest of the uk, she was to keep the whole of the uk in a customs union. 0ne keep the whole of the uk in a customs union. one must wonder how that will go down with some of the brexiteers in her own cabinet. that will go down with some of the brexiteers in her own cabinetm that will go down with some of the brexiteers in her own cabinet. it is probably a good bad sign that it goes very well with me. it is a time to protect our economy and jobs. but, the problem for theresa may is she promised she would not do this. when she came into the premiership she was same brexit means brexit, she was same brexit means brexit, she gave speeches promising we would almost never look at the european union again. we would drag ourselves out to the atlantic ocean and now she is saying she busily once brexit

in name only which is fine by me but does not make sense because she now has had probably 93 different positions and could easily be confused. she said we will leave the customs union. but borisjohnson said that we can only leave of the eu say so after 2020. and what is their incentive to do that if they say that you can leave. in terms of the cabinet look at liam fox. he is a passion brexiteers. international trade secretary. he is the man supposed to be securing these deals. you will be looking at "i can look at doing deals may in the future if the european union say i can". you think we will get more cabinet walk—outs? think we will get more cabinet walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. ithink walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. i think steve walk-outs? i hope so because this is the plan. ithink steve baker, paris johnson book pick off the ballot as the dup are. brexiteers her fears and rightly so. let's move on because there are lots of other stories to talk about. i the front

page of the telegraph we have been talking about mental health today, mental health day. facebook should pay a mental health levies. i'm up for facebook paying a bit more tax. but what is confusing here is a simon stephens the nhs is saying that they must pay and that the evidence is clear that social media is causing mental health problems. that's not the case. we know there are ways in which young people do use social media that is incredibly beneficial to the mental and we also know there are some people who use them ina know there are some people who use them in a damaging and destructive way. the evidence is incredibly early stage. and what distresses me is politicians and now simon stevens just wade in and say "i want to abolish to abolish this, a passat, regulate this" without knowing what the technology is doing. do you think it is reasonable to zjust some of these big companies... we

know there is no hard evidence. but we know that some of the isolation, the preoccupation with social media and so on can have a contributory effect on mental health stop with the rumours are that people... the i’uitioui's are the rumours are that people... the rumours are that people in these cubbies don't let the children use at all. i think it is a bit of a copout when you meet between the companies. there is parental responsibility. when you raise her children, how young are you a line that use social media, for how long? i think to blame it on the companies of the time when actually a lot especially if children are growing up, there use is determined by the parents and this is something that has to be controlled but it is not healthy or normal to be set to run from a young age constantly on the phone. i think that is something we really need to look at parents to step in and judge what is best for the children. the daily mail now says that they have revealed the

ethnic gap. —— daily mail mac. paire it looks like people are trying to... there is full outrage. and might be upset that bosses might have to publish differences between their white and minority staff. it is just a consultation at this stage. i think it is right because it is more competent than the divide between men and women. partly because the numbers are smaller and of course affect minorities are quite a diverse group of people. so simply this is a statistical challenge to desegregate into things like people in black communities, asian communities, people in a variety of different religious backgrounds as well. i think it is right to ask people to published data that allows people to published data that allows people to published data that allows people to scrutinise them and puts

pressure on bosses to think about this thing. ijust pressure on bosses to think about this thing. i just think it is very simplistic. what we do we have a column of white and minority? the range of people you are looking at within this category are far too broad. i don't agree with categorising people. you have european workers who are coming at a youth of the who went to a posh school and a posh school and a man. and a man. it makes no sense. what i think bosses should be cooking at which i think is a far big eight —— they determine if that is class and they determine if that is class and the doctrine of people regardless of schools the doctrine of people regardless of race or what schools we nt regardless of race or what schools went to, they determine if that is class and the doctrine of people regardless of race or what schools we nt regardless of race or what schools went to, what household income the group around. that has you more about someone then become of the skin. companies will have to check the ethnic backgrounds and asked their staff to say what their ethnic backgrounds are. it could become quite a complex process. it's another burden on businesses and quite incredible theresa may's conservative government is bring in dissent. this would not present it asajeremy dissent. this would not present it as a jeremy corbyn type and as i

say, it is very proved and simplistic and is added to the heart of the issue anyway. before we go, we have to talk about strictly come dancing. it has been such a big drama. shawn at the sheepish is the headline in the metro this is about the relationship between two of the co ntesta nts. the relationship between two of the contestants. i think sean is going to be pertinently referred to as he is as snob comic. he's not his dancing partner and his girlfriend dumped him in one most ostentatiously brilliant break—up letters i've ever read. she is keeping the cat. they have apologised on bbc‘s take to programme? and i think the chances are considered tonight they will be voted off the programme. partly because he would dance the charleston and jeremy vine assured us on charleston and jeremy vine assured us on twitter that is very good cult. both of those involved are

still on the programme for now. incredible. we're out of the loop is certainly you will have record ratings on the floor. it's this weird fusion of tv and real people's lives. this is a series issue. it almost becomes part of the show and it's weird how entertainment is fusing reality, the surreal when you don't know what is going on. we will all be grouped on saturday night. for now, michael and polly thank you very much indeed. that's it for the papers for the moment. 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. thank you to my guests, michael heaver and polly mackenzie. we'll all be back for a longer papers review at 11:30, but for now, it's goodbye. good evening.

we have had a fairly quiet spell of autumnal weather in the uk. but on the other side of the atlantic, a major hurricane has made landfall. hurricane michael has made landfall as a category four storm around the panhandle of florida. it is currently bringing life—threatening storm surge, very damaging strong winds and heavy rainfall. it will make its way gradually further north eastwards through parts of georgia towards the carolinas over the next 2a hours, bringing a flooding risk here. so we keep a close eye on hurricane michael. meanwhile, it has been the warmest october day since 2011. we've had temperatures almost up to 25 celsius. this was the scene as the sun set in the big sand, highland, scotland. i think as we head through tonight, we're going to be keeping that mild theme. pretty humid in fact. there will be a hit of a showery rain around overnight as well to set us up for a bit of a change in the weather over the next few days. but for the rest of the night then we still have a southerly breeze bringing that remarkably mild air. some showers initially in some parts of england and ireland and wales

pushing their way gradually northeast through the early hours of thursday. so it's a very mild night with temperatures generally in the mid—teens, a little bit cooler towards northeast scotland. but quite a lot of low cloud, mist and fog particularly over the higher ground. now these showers work their way gradually north eastwards to scotland, eastern england too. they will be followed by a band of sunshine before the next area of rain work in the west during the afternoon. there is still warm weather in the southeast so temperatures here 22, possibly 23 degrees. things will turn cooler from the west and you'll notice that strengthening breeze too. now moving through thursday night and into friday our attention turns to this storm system here. this is storm callum. it is going to bring a spell of very windy and pretty wet weather through friday and into saturday. a windy day wherever you are on friday with some heavy rain, particularly in parts of wales and the northwest of england as well. a little bit dry at either end of that but the winds will certainly be the main feature. the gusts will be around 50, possibly 60 mph. so some pretty windy conditions and combine that with that heavy rainfall as well.

this storm, storm callum, will be hanging around into saturday as well. it divides the line between some quite mild air in the southeast, 20 degrees also so much cooler air moving in from the northwest behind the storm system. now the tail end of that storm will still be hanging around through saturday, too. so, that will be bringing some more rain. but it eases away to leave a better day on sunday. this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00pm: the most powerful storm in decades to hit the south—east of the united states has made landfall in florida. the sheer power of hurricane michael has started to hurl itself against the florida panhandle now. it is causing some devastation. some powerlines are already down. routes have been destroyed. —— roofs. the democratic unionist party's ten westminster mps plan to vote down the budget later this month

if theresa may crosses the party's red lines on brexit. the uk's highest court has ruled that a belfast bakery did not break the law when it refused to ice a cake with the slogan "support gay marriage", a message they profoundly disagreed with.
