the ii‘ul‘ei it"ugit‘u the truth is ii‘ul‘ei hutu : trhur little framework the truth is coming out about these tax cuts. exotica as you say it's not quite an unraveling but the centre of the budget was a big income tax cut which was going to benefit 30 million taxpayers both basic rate and how your rate and the chancellor was delighted with it, tory mps were pleased with it and labour appeared to be on the back foot. this morning we discovered in the small print of the budget that actually, national insurance was also going up. and that meant that half of the benefit of this income tax cut is going back to the treasury, and it's a presentation issue for them, it's up thing in detail unarguably taxpayers should not be looking in the small print of the budget to find out that information. what i wonder is do they think we will not notice eventually, we did not read it afterwards, it's always going to come out in the end isn't it? it's a fascinating sort of mechanics to the budget you are right, as soon as the chancellor has finished his speech, everybody in the print —— press gaddy rushes out to do a big lengthy

press briefing with the chief economic adviser and a civil servant and they try and get as much detail as possible. but there are always things which are hidden, it's a sort of cat and mouse game and often what you find with budget is that they wa nt you find with budget is that they want is the headline figures that the government wants to come out, and they too are the things that starting to unravel, remember the famous tax a couple of years ago from one of george osborne's budget. so, this is a kind of classic but this is interesting because even though it's not great for us taxpayers in some ways, it provides the treasury with a tiny bit of comfort because one of the criticisms is that the biggest winners after this budget were some of the richest so they could possibly say actually it's not quite the bonanza that we thought. that interesting, we were talking about labour as well, i'm their response to it. they sort of rush to support these tax cuts which some deliver back benches were not happy about. if you tookjohn mcdonald when he

was on the back benches this would have been unheard of. joey macdonald today endorsed a policy which labour mps have said if a tax cut for millionaires. when he found himself facing immediately an extraordinary revolt. we had a dozen labour mps and behead members of the shadow cabinet and we had andy burnham, the mere saying that this was sending a shiver down his spine. so, it's created massive causes with labour, this is what's happening. it's absolutely fascinating because you are absolutely correct. back in the day, john mcdonald and jeremy corbyn would have ranked any labour leadership that was going on supporting tax cuts for the rich, it was because the criticism that would level at bear rights, centrists, labour and now you have joey macdonald and some of his other people seeing him on a minute, we have got to be pragmatic, john mcdonald said look i think this will give up as injection to the economy

and its helping people like schoolteachers and everything like that but they have not been quite as pragmatic in the past with their criticisms. particularly on anything to do welfare and tax and spend. the labour party say i'm their manifesto they will still fix to their idea of taxing people about £80,000 a bit more and that kind of thing. but make no mistake, the politics of this you see some very interesting political cross—dressing, you see the conservatives stealing clothes in the labour party doing this big cash splurge and you see the labour party sort of thing actually, we will support you in terms of helping other of the better off, everybody is kind of swapping with each other a bit. let us move on to the times. fears of brexit need to rush for irish passports. i am not surprised to hear this, there's lots of people i know who have been rushing to find a grandmother or grandfather was an irish connection, but their numbers are irish connection, but their numbers a re pretty irish connection, but their numbers are pretty incredible. 150,000 applications since the referendum.

the irish senate, brexit committee is quoted here saying at least 10% of the uk population could technically qualify for an irish passport. there are significant numbers there, that reflects the fa ct numbers there, that reflects the fact that we are getting closer to brexit, it's five months away, march next year, it's coming, and there is still no resolution in negotiations with brussels and the resolution the cabinet table and b were beginning to genuinely worry about no deal. and that was reflected here, there's is online here well about how there are concerns saying is online here well about how there are concerns saying britain is travelling in europe could face longer queues because they are no longer queues because they are no longer eu citizens into no—deal brexit so it's becoming real. i'm trying to see if there is any people with irish connections, i can't find any. everyone i know who's got to visit ireland who is trying to put an application into what is interesting is you are right, five

months ago today and the home affairs select committee in front of a done officials from their board or the apartment and immigration ministerand the apartment and immigration minister and there were some pretty tough questions asked at that preparations for how it is a no deal going to work on the answers were not forthcoming yvette cooper at one point had her head in her hands and it was a long session and i think it over an it was a long session and i think it overan hour it was a long session and i think it over an hour because it was so many questions and there is a huge consternation and i think most people it's notjust people travelling for how did —— holidays. airline companies are very worried, operators and businesses that do travel, the music industry and entertainment, this whole freedom of movement thing has got big implications. let us move on to the guardian. it has a story about alarm over the rise in early deaths for northerners. this is the north—south divide in the starkest terms. this is not just about

divide in the starkest terms. this is notjust about differences in the way people travel or public services in that sense but this is really quite stark beta here showing the difference. i was really interested by the story because the journal of the north—south divide and we hear about the northern powerhouse and we talked about things were much in terms of infrastructure and jobs in the economy, all of these things are really important, these statistics are very stark because they tell the story of things like health inequality and the effect deprivation socio— economic deprivation socio— economic deprivation has on people and some of the research which is from manchester university is very stark. it's as socioeconomic deprivation has led to a sharp rise in debt among 25 to 24 years old and from mucking accident, alcohol misuse, suicide, cancer, and i think we have to remember that the impacts of our policies do have far—reaching consequences. policies do have far—reaching consequences. i think when we think aboutjobs consequences. i think when we think about jobs and opportunities we have

to have the knock on effect of peoples physical health but their mental health as well. we will stay with the guardian, the other story they have, trump to and my grand babies right to citizenship and this is the fact that in america if your child is born there they automatically have this right and donald trump is suggesting he might change it. in america it's a hugely polarising debate so donald trump had this at the heart of his election campaign with the he was elected to be president and he determined to push it through and i can do this with an executive order and he says it's ridiculous that the children of illegal immigrants are given the full rights of citizenship in our country. that is meeting with some very strong in our country. that is meeting with some very strong opposition and within the republican party, the guardian quoting paul ryan who is the ongoing speaker of the house of representatives and he's saying you can't end birthright citizenship with an executive order because it's pa rt with an executive order because it's part of the us constitution, it's the 14th amendment, it's 150 part of the us constitution, it's

the 14th amendment, it's150 years old so this is a great constitutional routes conveniently just before the us midterms. some might argue it's half an eye on the midterms coming up. might argue it's half an eye on the midterms coming uplj might argue it's half an eye on the midterms coming up. i agree with that and i feel for trump he wins when he goes on immigration, he's at his best or worst when he's igniting a sort of culture war or anything about immigration, we know his rhetoric, building words, banning muslims these kinds of things, this would be the red meat to his base. it coincides with another story which is pictured here which is the my grand caravan which is approaching the us border and it's very troubling images you are seeing from that tunnel trump has sent 5000 troops to the border of the us to police it, the rhetoric is stepping up police it, the rhetoric is stepping up every day as this my grand ca rava n up every day as this my grand caravan gets closer to the us. it's terrible and i disagree with it, it's useful for donald trump trying to move everyone away from the cabin

on scandal that he's been engulfed in and his response to the pittsburgh all that kind of stuff, he's always on safe ground when, this is his comfort zone, immigration, division, throwing that red meat to his base saying protect our borders. that's him in his save space. let us finish with of course halloween story. in the express. britain's stooke spending to hit £690 million it has not reached that in our house but look at all the stuff hanging around, the windows we wa nt stuff hanging around, the windows we want be far off. yes, it's become a big thing hasn't it? it's a huge thing, we have a 17—month—old daughter and we bought her three different outfits because he could not decide which one to get, i pumpkin outfits, she's not even awake past seven o'clock in the evening so i'm not sure what the point is of that. if i want to scare people i will take my makeup off, that's what i do, once he went to this party and we got dressed up and

spent vast sums of money spending up and nobody else was dressed up and it wasjust as and nobody else was dressed up and it was just as it was so cringe. will you be handing out candy?” will go to the public. that's not the spirit. it's what they're wearing which is interesting in this piece, they are dressing up as characters from the video game fortnight. i'm sure many parents would recognise this. and then i'll leave the evil clown penny wise from the movie eight. so you've got different things there. the other thing is buying the pumpkins, everyone is going nuts buying the pumpkins and carving them as well is become an olympic scale and everyone has a become an olympic scale and everyone hasa pumpkin become an olympic scale and everyone has a pumpkin andy. excellent. that's a good note and on. happy story there. 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. ayesha and steven will be back for a longer look at the papers at 11:30pm, but for now, goodbye. hello.

our weather will be turning milder going into the weekend, but it will be wetter and windier for many of us by then, as we'll see in a moment. tuesday morning brought some frost for many, and parts of england and wales had their coldest october night since 1997. looks like the lowest temperatures overnight will be across some some eastern parts of the uk, where we are clear for longest. to the west, we are seeing a couple of fairly weak but they are weather fronts all the same coming in with some cloud and some outbreaks of rain. so you see where the blues are looking later in the night, where we're going to see the lowest temperatures, perhaps in the welsh valleys, the midlands, central—southern england and northeast scotland as well a good few degrees below freezing. but the influence of these weather systems to the west will keep many of us here above freezing, but will make for a wet start for some of us. so let's take a look at how wednesday morning is shaping

up. you can pick up the two weather fronts here. this one from the western isles into northern ireland edging further east during the day. this one, well, the northern bit of itjust easing from southern scotland, but will still keep some outbreaks of rain across westernmost parts of england and into wales. all of this starts to edge a bit further east as we go on through wednesday evening. notice the winds. at the weekend, it was a mbut northerly, now it has become a southerly. at least of england and wales, that will turn things milder and colder as temperatures get or more of us into double figures. now for trick—or—treaters on through wednesday evening, so we are seeing this outbreaks or rain to more of the western side of the uk. some rain reaching into southeast england and east anglia. going into thursday, these two areas of rain will merge and we will see a spell of rain slow to clear through the east of england on thursday. elsewhere, bright skies and showers in the northwest and especially into western scotland where temperatures and gone up a little bit, but it does come down again on thursday. widespread frost on thursday night, and then things turn interesting because of this, hurricane oscar out in the atlantic.

it will headed toward the british isles in time for the weekend. it is going to become an ex—hurricane as it moves over colder ocean water, losing his tropical current bus to bring a spell of wet and windy weather, but also bring us some milder air as well. that really kicks in later on friday into saturday. with potentially destructive winds for scotland, keep an eye on that, especially in the north and west, but milderfor all, too. this is bbc news. i'm vicki young. the headlines at 11pm: the chancellor is warned over his budget — an influential research group says he's taking a gamble, and that many public services will continue to feel squeezed. we might be at the end of cuts but we are not going to be offsetting the cuts that have happened over the last seven or eight years. if i was a prison governor, a head teacher, running a local authority, i wouldn't be breaking out the champagne just yet. the president and first lady arrive in pittsburgh,
