11:31 pm
bringing us tomorrow. with me are the writer and broadcaster, mihir bose, and the former pensions minister, baroness ros altmann. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the times looks ahead to tomorrow's budget, reporting that every school will get a dedicated mental health team. the financial times also goes with the budget, saying it marks an end to austerity. the metro leads with the death of the owner of leicester city in a helicopter crash last night the sun also goes with the crash, reporting that it could have been much worse if the aircraft hadn't been steered away from crowds of fans. the guardian front page features the far—rightjair bolsonaro winning brazil's presidential election. and the express claims 500 people die prematurely every week from diabeties. that's a quick look through the
11:32 pm
papers, let's have a more in—depth look at some of those front pages. quite a few distressing stories over this weekend, particularly from the world of sport. heading to the midlands, it's that fairytale story of leicester city football club, and the unbelievable happened on saturday night. such a great tragedy. both the sun and the mirror tell us about the great heroism of the pilot, of course, eric, who prevented perhaps much more casualties, maybe hundreds, because, despite the fact he couldn't prevent the helicopter from exploding, despite the fact he couldn't prevent the helicopterfrom exploding, he made sure it didn't go into a hotel and things like that. close to the
11:33 pm
ground i think there's a holiday inn, so busy! ithink ground i think there's a holiday inn, so busy! i think we should consult ourselves that this is a heartwarming story. it's a tragedy, of course, but here's this tired businessman, he comes in, he announced the fans and the people of leicester city football club to realise their dreams —— tie businessmen. such diverse backgrounds. he didn't come in and own a football club as a toy or to try to increase his money and sell it on, he invested money not only in the club but in the hospital and so on. if you see the people coming together to grieve for him, this is a diverse community of various colours, creeds and so on and that is consoling. it's a tragedy but it's consoling given what happened in the world. you're a football fan, but what struck you the most about this story? such a tragedy. after
11:34 pm
all the wonderful experiences this man has brought to leicester, you know, 5000/1 chance of winning, they wofi. know, 5000/1 chance of winning, they won. he was part of their family almost, as you were saying, when you we nt almost, as you were saying, when you went there before. when it finishes in this tragic way, you just think, wow, what positive can we look for from this? it was meant to be such a fairytale , from this? it was meant to be such a fairytale, positive story. that's the positive thing, people coming together. people coming from all different countries. we've got a narrative of anti—immigration and so on, but this shows how the british are welcoming of people from all countries, and we can live together and celebrate sport together. the daily mirror is another one of those papers that carries the story on its front page. it does have a
11:35 pm
picture... quite a distressing picture... quite a distressing picture of the shell of that helicopter. to let people know, leicester police, as well as the clu b leicester police, as well as the club confirming, vichai srivaddhanaprabha perished in the crash, leicester police have confirmed to the other four passengers that were on there and there was speculation about his daughter, who is also part of the king power... that's his company, she is part of the board. if you go to the leicestershire police website and the twitter feed, it confirms there were two other staff members, a passenger and of course eric swaffer, on the front page of the sun and mentioned on the front of the mirror. one of the papers has the mirror. one of the papers has the players are affected, they stayed on, and i think their next match will be postponed. tomorrow. it shows it wasn't just. .. match will be postponed. tomorrow. it shows it wasn'tjust... many other clubs, the players don't know
11:36 pm
the owner, or they could care less, that shows the bond. they're talking about giving them counselling. they we re really about giving them counselling. they were really close. this is such an unexpected tragedy and such a waste of life. you know, possibly not the time... what next for leicester city? you know? let's turn to the guardian. it was interesting that when i broke this news in the last hour, ros, concerning events taking place in brazil and the gentleman who will be the new president, i heard a great big sigh at the side of me. jair bolsonaro. heard a great big sigh at the side of me. jair bolsonaro. a former paratrooper who is talking about crushing corruption, crime and communism, which all sounds great, but he is programmes and he is pro
11:37 pm
torture it seems. this is becoming a very ha rd torture it seems. this is becoming a very hard right nation. america generally is shifting a bit to the right. the populism seems to be spreading and the rival workers party just spreading and the rival workers partyjust didn't spreading and the rival workers party just didn't make spreading and the rival workers partyjust didn't make it. they were hoping there might be a close outcome. i guess we'll have to see. 147 million people in brazil and they voted for a far right government. we're not talking about centre—right. government. we're not talking about centre-right. but what's amazing, a few years ago, five or six years ago, brazil was held up as the great symbol of change. how change can come, lula was the president, all sorts of things were happening, i remember going to seminars at kings couege remember going to seminars at kings college and prestigious places like that and brazil was how the developing world, what used to be the third world, could come up. there are people out there who feel
11:38 pm
deprived. for them to go for a man like this, they must feel... it's been described as the least bad of the bunch. that says it all, doesn't it? politics generally i think, around the world, has got some strange elements at the moment. you know, somehow there's this populist mood that has captured a lot of countries and feeding into a lot of politics. a lot of people out there will say they've lost our country. i've heard it on the football ground, we've lost our club when the clu b ground, we've lost our club when the club is doing badly and we have to address that. part of it in brazil is corruption. that's one of the biggest gripes for brazilians. that is an issue that is a problem in certain parts of the world. you can understand people lose faith in the conventional political parties. we talk about populism, we're going to stay with the guardian. this
11:39 pm
terrible event... terrible, the hate crime... anti—semitic hate crime in the united states, in pittsburgh, yesterday at the synagogue, the cure of life synagogue in squirrel hill. horrific, he shouted all dues must die, he has got guns —— dues must die. the worst attack on dues in american history as far as i can see. it is so pointless, really frightening. it raises questions about social media. this man was posting things and so on and so forth. social media has changed our lives. in the past a man like this might have gone to the us equivalent of speakers corner and only got to ten odd demented people. now they
11:40 pm
can reach out to so many more and influence so many more. part of this discussion is who and what narrative is emboldening this sort of character. it is quite interesting because the antidefamation league quoted newsweek. in 2017, there was a 57% increase in anti—semitic attacks in the united states, but interestingly, this is the first one that has involved physical violence, and to this extremity, in the knighted states. also, sometimes, you hear such fantastic nonsensical stories about who was responsible for 9/11 and things like that. people are prepared to believe absolute nonsense of the type they used to believe in the 30s in germany and we know what led to that. i'm not saying it's going to happen but these are warning signs.
11:41 pm
they are. on the other hand, the reaction of president trump was a bit worrying. most synagogues have chosen to have armed guards outside. sadly it's necessary. it shouldn't happen. he was saying, well, they didn't have an armed guard. necessary these days. it shouldn't be. all religious mosques and churches may be are going to become more targeted in this way. a welcome sign, though, has been the support from all faith groups. paris has switched off the eiffel tower at midnight local time in solidarity. finally tonight, we have to finish on extremism, the front page of the times. anjem choudary is set to go ona times. anjem choudary is set to go on a course. this is the most ridiculous idea. this reminds me of when you have a speeding... you are
11:42 pm
asked to go on a course to drive better. this is a man who has a certain belief. a terrible belief, it isa certain belief. a terrible belief, it is a belief most human beings shouldn't share and make him sit in a room and lecture him, that's not going to change him. we need radical plans to reach out to the young people who he's influencing and work out why he's influencing them. this isn't a question of making sure you don't speed next time. how home office officials can come up with this i don't know. you've been in government, is it that stupid there in the home office? it's not stupid, it's an idea... in theory, you think deradicalisation programmes, persistence and disengagement programmes, which apparently means deradicalisation, although one wouldn't know it from those words.
11:43 pm
he has only served half his sentence and he's been released. his crime was supporting isis and he's been sent on his course where he will get mentoring and theological advice. he's just mentoring and theological advice. he'sjust going to mentoring and theological advice. he's just going to play them, isn't he? of course. one would think it is unlikely to be successful. it is something they want to try. big day tomorrow, the budget, staying with the times, we might end on this story. all schools and a&e departments are set to get mental health units. fantastic idea, about time, all part of the budget, is that figure enough? you've got the figure, what is it? it's about £2 billion out of the £20 billion that will be dedicated to mental health. mental health... we have been very far behind the curve in terms of how we treat and deal with mental illness. it seems in the budget we
11:44 pm
are going to announce a significant increase in support. all schools are going to have mental health support, 24—hour health going to have mental health support, 24— hour health outlines. going to have mental health support, 24—hour health outlines. we need to spend more money on the nhs but however much you spend you have to spend on social care for the elderly and other priorities —— helplines. this is a prebudget announcement made to look the budget better and give the government a bit of publicity, i don't think it will make much difference. we might get another budget if an emergency budget is called. i don't think we'll get any nasty surprises tomorrow, i hope not. if we have a ha rd tomorrow, i hope not. if we have a hard brexit, there will be an emergency budget. in that case, we will need even more money for mental health. all of us! we will carry on after we have said goodbye to our viewers, getting interesting! ros
