and also increasing easterly wind. which will be quite cold and raw. best of the winter, scotland and northern ireland. dry with some sunshine. but a cold day for all temperatures in single figures. tuesday at stages, looking pretty messy. this area of low pressure will get its act together. some pretty wet and windy weather, large portions of england and wales. a bit of uncertainty to how far west as it will arrive. it is going to be colder. sunshine across the extreme north and west. temperatures beginning to climb across the south and east. it will feel milder because the wind and the rain. looks like that could bring some snow to northern hills as the low pressure moves northward away from our shores, as we move deeper on into next week. and it looks like you see the atlantic come alive again. we will see some west or south westerly winds, a bit of uncertainty to when this next spell of wet and windy weather will arrive. the main message further ahead is that it is starting offjulian to next week with some wet and windy weather. as we pick up some air and weather systems off the atlantic. hello.
11:31 pm
this is bbc news with julian worricker. we'll be taking another look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: sir philip green categorically denies allegations of unlawful sexual or racist behaviour after being named in parliament as the businessman who took out an injunction against the daily telegraph. i feel it's my duty under parliamentary privilege to name philip green as the individual in question, given that the media have been subject to an injunction preventing publication of the full details of the story. the home secretary apologises to people who were wrongly told they would have to take a dna test to prove they were entitled to settle in the uk. the fbi says it's stepped up its hunt for whoever is behind a series of crude bombs sent to leading democrats and critics of president trump. debenhams becomes the latest retailer to announce the closure of some of its high street stores, putting 4000 jobs at risk. hello and welcome to our look ahead
11:32 pm
to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are lucy fisher, defence correspondent at the times, and john rentoul, chief political commentator at the independent. welcome back. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily telegraph reports that sir philip green has been named as the businessman at the centre of the harrasment allegations, which he strongly denies. the financial times highlights that lord hain used parliamentary privilege to identify the topshop owner. the billionaire is on the front of the metro, too, with more details of the non—disclosure agreements. the guardian says sir philip green "categorically and wholly denies" any suggestion he was guilty of unlawful behaviour.
11:33 pm
the daily mail has the headline " named and shamed" following a 24—hour guessing game over his identity regarding the alleagations. he's on the front of the independent, too, along with a story about young people bearing the brunt financially in the event of a no—deal brexit. and there are calls from a coroner on the times for universities to ban alcohol—fuelled initiation ceremonies following the death of a first—year student. the allegations surrounding sir philip green are dominating many of tomorrow's front pages. that is where we start. this is at the front, well let's start with the telegraph. the telegraph was the paper that had the injunction placed on it to prevent it naming sarr three. i am
11:34 pm
uncomfortable as a journalist, i am in favour of the openness and disclosure but i do feel a bit uncomfortable about the way this has been handled and the way that parliamentary privilege has been used to get round what the courts wa nted used to get round what the courts wanted to do, which was to keep it confidential until they had had a hearing in the next few days. on the other hand, it is very difficult to keep things confidential these days. and i did feel uncomfortable because it was common knowledge at westminster who the businessman it was. was it? from a day or so ago? from a dead the telegraph first published a story saying he was unable to name this person. and that feels wrong thatjournalists should know and the general public should not. so i feel very poor mother story. are you torn, to? i am. or
11:35 pm
make you what is minimised here is a bad this was not a permanent injunction, it was a temporary injunction. i do not think lord hain mention that in the clip that you just showed. some of the reporting around that has not really stressed that point. the judge in question was trying to speedily measure the case was heard some if it was found against him, then he possibly could be named. sol against him, then he possibly could be named. so i am torn but yes i do feel a bit guilty. it's not often you hear journalists not feel a bit guilty. it's not often you hearjournalists not wanting things to necessarily come out in this way. lord hain's .com and we saw it mentioned there, he says he had been contacted by someone intimately involved in the case of fell therefore a duty to name the businessman using harbord street privileged. 0ther businessman using harbord street privileged. other words, businessman using harbord street privileged. 0therwords, it is businessman using harbord street privileged. other words, it is in the public interest. yet, but the courts had all that information before them as well and as i understand, there were certainly
11:36 pm
some people who were involved who have these nondisclosure agreements signed who did not want to live green‘s name to be made public. including the two complains because it may have potential implications for their... it may have potential implications for their. .. so there are clearly arguments on both sides. and make me uncomfortable for lord hain to take it on himself to decide the balance of the public interest. it does raises interesting contradiction, contrast, call it what you will between what a court says and what a parliamentarian can say because of the rules of in both places. yes, thatis the rules of in both places. yes, that is right, there is that sort of natural tension between the dictionary and the right to parliamentarians and sometimes arcane rules that give them the sort
11:37 pm
of loopholes. 0n the whole, i am glad of those loopholes or exemption is existing and i think it is important we maintain those but they have to be exercised judiciously. lot of the financial times coverage because they have three years take an interest in sir philip green because the other paper about as a business and he is a leading businessman. indeed in a controversial one with some history. in particular, the difficulty he got into selling bhs? bhs, yeah. would you settle for a pound and then turned out that there was some huge problem with the pension fund which he had to step in with the several millions to try to bail out. i did not come out of that particularly well. which means i suppose that people feel there is already a question mark over his reputation which makes it very difficult for
11:38 pm
him to be able to defend himself against these new allegations. and that makes them a more controversial figure as the ft points to. yes, certainly, over the bhs figure as the ft points to. yes, certainly, overthe bhs camera, the house of commons rdf proved the review of it is then over that debacle. and it is the array of photos on the front pages today, having to pick him in sort of the worst side of him. they really speaks to the fact that he is not a national treasure. i speaks to the fact that he is not a nationaltreasure. i should speaks to the fact that he is not a national treasure. i should say of course that he has refused to comment on eta has happened in court oi’ comment on eta has happened in court or what was said in parliament today, but has categorically any unlawful sexual or her racist behaviour. i think believe that there. last year about the independenfs there. last year about the independent‘s front page because i was a lucy on this first, young hit ha rd by was a lucy on this first, young hit hard by brexit, a nobilo brexit will cost the young £1000 each. another
11:39 pm
day, another study, this one by an economic researcher and author university. is not the most on data, unquestionable study there has been that i am beginning to wonder about the utility of these at all because itjust seems the utility of these at all because it just seems to the utility of these at all because itjust seems to me to debate is so interesting is so polarised that this will be preaching to the converted. many of the younger support remain that will latch onto this report that shows that in the next 15 years, gdp will contract by 18% if there is a no—deal brexit. will it support leave voters or hard—line brexiteers that it will be disaster? i doubt it. not many leave voters read the independent, john?|j am voters read the independent, john?” am sure. there are some leave voters the right to the independent. i think lucy's point, but the independent has got a campaign for a
11:40 pm
new referendum. and it is desperately trying to convince people that we want to keep that option on the table in case there is a political crisis over a nobilo brexit, which would not actually i think be bad for the country. i think be bad for the country. i think most people except that. you know, is campaigning and i stand by. there are enough it is only a scenario here if there is a nobilo brexit. that would dissipate the economy and i think it would have consequences for everyone in the country and this is an attempt to drum in size and comes with us for the young in particular. this report says even a soft brexit would cost young people 32,000 in the long run as well so it is sort of setting up the degrees of loss. it is quite
11:41 pm
interesting to highlight what you do face because lott has been said in the last two or three years, ever since referendum took place after the contrast between how you people tended to vote and how old people tended to vote and how old people tended to vote and how old people tended to vote. well, indeed, and thatis tended to vote. well, indeed, and that is one of the... yes, there we re that is one of the... yes, there were obviously young leave voters, just as there are leave voters who work for the independent, but one of the strongest arguments i think for pausing to think again and consider the possibility of a second referendum is the fact that you people feel that their future has been taken from them by owner voters. and i think that is worth pausing to think about. the front of the times, losing, talking about this very sad case involving this young student who had died after drinking huge amounts, i think, young student who had died after drinking huge amounts, ithink, of alcohol. and what the coroner is now
11:42 pm
saying should be done about it. yes, eight dudley student, i think is a really tragic case what has happened this 20—year—old student. drinking copious amounts during pressures we, the time and people are desperate to connect, maybe france, nobody was to appearasa connect, maybe france, nobody was to appear as a square about pulling out appear as a square about pulling out a work but not to join appear as a square about pulling out a work but not tojoin in when appear as a square about pulling out a work but not to join in when there is lots of peer pressure, and it is the pillowcase, and i think it is,, second and third gears really egging on the due fresheners to get involved in a drinking travel shots. i think this really to me is a unwelcome us import from house, the idea of hazy, initiations and so forth. but understandably, the poor student who died, family are campaigning and they have been out and about talking about the cctv images, the last that was the other so images, the last that was the other so before he arrived at hospital passed out at a metro station. i
11:43 pm
think it's painful but needs to be stressed enough in the corner is making the right call here in urging universities to do more to stamp out the summerof universities to do more to stamp out the summer of initiations. although university been initiation ceremonies, they told the inquest it was impossible to prevent it in place. that is the difficulty. abby prevent young people and students in particular, certainly in the first yearin particular, certainly in the first year in particular at university, doing foolish things? that is the problem. but you know, you have in the parents of this young man. who do not really want rumoured in this way but they feel that it is the only way of bringing home two other people the dangers of this kind of ritualized excessive drinking. and they have done that very starkly, haven't they? because they decided to release the images of him as he
11:44 pm
was very drunk light abu ghraib prison think that will bring home people to watch it happen. let's move people to watch it happen. let's m ove o nto people to watch it happen. let's move onto the guardian. this, is clearly a n move onto the guardian. this, is clearly an important story for the gurkhas and the afghan nationals involved when it has a fairly significant or potentially significant or potentially significant political consequence here at home as well. yes because the home secretary has apologised for the policy of his department, although possibly not while he has been home secretary. the policy became to require people who wanted to prove a family connection to undergo a dna test. that should not have been the policy, but clearly it was part of what is known as this hostile environment policy, which was to try and make life difficult
11:45 pm
for aluminium grids which had knock on consequences for perfectly legal immigrants. and this takes us to amber rudd and potentially to theresa may's time in the home 0ffice theresa may's time in the home office with mike yes, that is right. it was a 2012 as she was home secretary, theresa may was in front of the heart —— to the home office that this hostile environment agenda that this hostile environment agenda thatjohn mentions that this hostile environment agenda that john mentions was that this hostile environment agenda thatjohn mentions was introduced. i think there are a lot of questions here because as of the first candle we have seen here because as of the first candle we have seen even here because as of the first candle we have seen even in recent months over this policy. obviously, the poor state of affairs with a wing scannable or other british subjects we re scannable or other british subjects were subject to a appalling behaviour from the home office. were subject to a appalling behaviour from the home officem is not alter the government poplar commitment to controlling immigration of course because is was more out of the fact that tens of thousands figure had to be met. i know it was not but that was the entity. is there a man and it will never be met and is a target that is
11:46 pm
clinically toxic that politicians feel to reserve from the same time not really making any to achieve it. i think it is unsurprising that there is a sense of anger growing up at the white its rhetoric is sort of willfully being ignored in the policy terms. but it is interesting that sajid javid is not really talk about it. he does not want to repeat it in interviews. it is something that allows him to put some distance between him and theresa may and her time at the home office. you know, dare one say with an idea that he might have designs on the tory leadership and that the ministership as well. he has been positioning himself as a firm but fair home secretary. but one who is pursuing a very distinct policy from his predecessor. an ambitious
11:47 pm
politician, who would have thought i? lesson to the front of the telegraph again as our final talking point and one that has lots of elements to it. losing of donald trump attacks media over mail bomb scare. yes, after we saw barack obama, the clintons set the script by bombs in the post in recent days, out now we know that robert deniro and joe biden have also received such packages. luckily, none have gone up what is how these donald trump critics vilified by the right are the targets so a lot of the sort of suspicions growing up about where these pipe bombs might have admitted from and why? was one of toxic atmosphere has been created in the us to whether the president's coarse language, particularly in the campaign before he was elected in about his adversary hillary clinton, has contributed to such an extent of anger the people have felt free reign to kind of pursued political violence. of course you do not know
11:48 pm
the answer to that, do a? do not will be suspicious. clearly, there isa will be suspicious. clearly, there is a responsibility on president trump to disown this kind of thing and also to perhaps acknowledge, i think, that he may have overstepped the mark is some of his rhetoric. we haven't seen this in british politics with politicians going too far with the rhetoric of violence and death, talking about theresa may having to bring her own news to a meeting with the noticeably to committee. it really is i think that politicians stopped and looked at the kind of language that they use. the thing that goes further into the media world and obviously i am part of it as well as you that there is a tendency to see politics in terms of battles a nd tendency to see politics in terms of battles and fights and are we... acid defence correspondent.”
11:49 pm
battles and fights and are we... acid defence correspondent. i would par of this as well? in some ways, we are. people have complained that pms use is too gladiatorial and in sort of nature but yet it has the highest viewing figures of any sessions in the commons each way. people want to see a sense of theatre, sense of drama. i think there have been fantastic reads, the inside stories about what mps are safe. some trying to see their close use often anonymously. they saw the play of these lovelyjournalistic colour rubber for coming up with these very evocative quotes. so i think it is give—and—take. these very evocative quotes. so i think it is give-and-take. but i bet we could do with less of java debug and put them in the freezers and stuff like that. that's how the metaphors ought to be banned because i think they are not original for one thing. on that note, thank you both very much indeed. that's it for the papers 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
11:50 pm
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, lucy and john. goodbye. hello, your latest sports news. it was a mixed bag of results in the europa league for the four british sides in action. a niger riverfor chelsea's patrick euro ruben loftus—cheek and arsenal made it 11 consecutive wins for the first time since 2007. here is adam wild. arriving in lisbon, there was a sense that this is an arsenal side going places. re—emerging of late as one of the game of a great entertainers, well that was the feeling. the rediscovered famous
