the rain from oscar will be in the north and west, not much from central, southern and eastern england and look at the temperatures, the mid—teens for many but it's very windy. oscar on sunday pulls away to the north, another area of low pressure coming in, not as windy as this one. the north and west will see most of the rain from it. as i superimposed the jet stream and look at next week, what was a jet stream coming right at us through oscar comes meandering again. notan through oscar comes meandering again. not an active weather pattern, not going to see vigorous areas of low pressure coming our way but occasional weather systems from the atlantic. when the arm of the jet stream coming in from the south—west, that's a mild direction. for much of next week, we will be on the mild side of the jet, for much of next week, we will be on the mild side of thejet, right now we are on the cold side so next week things will feel different. milder, hardly any frost, a sunny day, some rain at times, especially in the north—west occasionally feeding further east. were about to turn our
11:32 pm
temperatures around from the brink of winter to autumn once again with the help of ex—hurricane oscar —— we're about to. hello. this is bbc news. i'm vicki young. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: there's criticism of the budget from the influential institute of fiscal studies. it says the chancellor is gambling with the public finances and his tax cuts will mainly benefit higher earners. president trump arrives in pittsburgh and visits the tree of life synagogue, where 11 people were killed. but critics say his visit will draw attention away from the victims‘ funerals. police investigating the murder of london estate agent suzy lamplugh, who went missing more than 30 years ago, have spent the day searching the garden of a house in sutton coldfield. elephants, tigers and koalas are affected by an average 60% fall in wildlife populations since 1970.
11:33 pm
conservation charity wwf blames human overuse of natural resources. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are steven swinford, the deputy political editor at the daily telegraph, and ayesha hazarika, who's a columnist for the london evening standard. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in, and some of then have photos of the winner of the great british bake off, so if you don't want to know, look away now. the daily mail reports that a man convicted of taking part in the 9/11 attack has been freed from a german prison and is living in morocco. the metro goes with a family
11:34 pm
who were left with just 7a pence to live on for a week, after a mix—up when they were moved to the new universal credit benefit. the guardian carries a warning that not reaching a brexit deal could cause a long recession. the express leads with the story of a falklands veteran who has gone on hunger srike, demanding better mental healthcare for former service personel. the times reports a surge in the number of applications for irish passports by british residents as brexit approches. the telegraph says that scientists at a leading university are being accused of failing to disclose fully the outcomes of some patients after experimental treatments. and the mirror reports on anger from teachers over the amount of money allocated to schools in the budget. so a vaired set of front pages. let's look at some of those stories in more detail. and we are going to start with a
11:35 pm
story in the telegraph from the top journalist, mr steven swinford. thank you. what is this about? the centrepiece of philip hammond's but it was a big giveaway, bringing forward income tax cuts an month after brexit, and it buoyed tory mps and it bought theresa may sometime but there was a sting in the tail, going through the budget small print we discover that while he is giving people money in the form of income tax cuts he is also taking it away again to achieve around £2 billion in the form of increased national insurance. as in the form of increased national insurance. as ever in the form of increased national insurance. as ever you have to read the small print. i find it incredible this happens almost every time we have a budget. they have these long briefings afterwards and it didn't come out then. i don't know if they think people won't notice. there is a rhythm to the budget. you have stories pre— briefed before hand budget. you have stories pre— briefed beforehand in terms of things the government want to
11:36 pm
highlight. then you get quite positive headlines on the day. and then excellent journalist like steven go and look around and see where stuff starts to unravel. so normally on day two or three stuff starts to unravel. this is very interesting because the centrepiece of this was that, look, we are doing what classic conservative budgets wa nt what classic conservative budgets want to do, we want to give people tax cuts, not just at the bottom, those just about managing, people with a bit more money, but people not seen as having a huge amount of money so not seen as having a huge amount of money so they wanted to send a big signal. but obviously this blunt that message. but it could provide them with sort of an unintended consequence of something slightly more positive because of the criticism was that people on low incomes were not getting as much, so when theresa may stands on the steps of downing street and says, you know, i am determined to tackle these burning injustices, it doesn't feel like it is a burning injustice
11:37 pm
to get £70,000 in income and have a massive great tax cut. the labour response has been interesting to this because labour you would have thought would have absolutely rinsed the government for offering a juicy tax cut to the richest. here we have an extraordinary situation where the shadow chancellorjohn mcdonald has saidi shadow chancellorjohn mcdonald has said i am prepared to back the government on this which is really quite extraordinary. so what's he up to, has he become a leader of the centre ground 7 to, has he become a leader of the centre ground? down i say it, it is said quietly, everyone is on election footing —— dare i say it. he is being a pragmatist, saying i won't go into this election to say i will take money out of people's pockets and people on high rate tax, it isa pockets and people on high rate tax, it is a misnomer, a lot of them are people on middle incomes, and the threshold for the 40p rate was frozen for many years, so people have been dragged into the higher rate of income tax who are teachers,
11:38 pm
police, you know, civil servants, a lot of these people, john o'donnell wa nts to lot of these people, john o'donnell wants to win them for labour, he says it isn't just wants to win them for labour, he says it isn'tjust about wants to win them for labour, he says it isn't just about socialism, i want to make inroads into middle income. it's interesting because this is the type of move, had another labour leader, whether it was ed miliband, tony blair, john mcdonnell would have been on the backbench, they would have had nothing but criticism for them, saying politics comes down to a choice and when there is a finite amount of money, you made the choice to help the better off people so it just shows how the politics has changed, and it also signals that labour feel that they have a fighting chance of winning the next general election. they are not a joke any more. everybody has got past the shock ofjeremy corbyn being leader of the labour party and they feel that if there is a general election they are into pole position. they did quite a big job
11:39 pm
convincing conservative voters to vote for them and you are absolutely right, brenda from bristol, i hope she's ready to go, no, i can't believe this, because who knows what might happen. today she was asked and she said she is definitely not thinking about it because it is not what the nation needs. she didn't say that last time. if she goes on a walking holiday we have to be worried. she said i am ruling this out in the national interest and we all went, ok. out in the national interest and we all went, 0k. it did feel yesterday as though they were keeping their options open a little bit, didn't they. this budget felt like an election... it did. and people have said, live this budget like it is your last and it might be for philip hammond and theresa may. talking of which, talking which in the mirror, this was a little bit where he was... he misspoke, didn't he, when he talked about the little extras that the schools could buy with his gift of £400 million and that has sparked a rather furious gift of £400 million and that has sparked a ratherfurious backlash from teachers who feel that they need a little more than, well, the
11:40 pm
little extras, they need more teachers. he got the tone wrong, quite simply. he comes across as slightly patronising, little extras, and one of the main points of the budget is philip and the prime minister have claimed that the era of austerity is either over or coming to an end depending on who you listen to but it is supposed to be ending. but actually it is ending for specific bits of public services, so the nhs is getting a huge amount of money, something like 85 billion of the 100 billion in spending is going on the nhs, whereas everywhere else is outside, if they are outside the ring—fence, they are not getting extra money, and if you are schools, you are feeling the squeeze, councils, police, no money for police, so it isa police, no money for police, so it is a tale of two budgets, the nhs did very well but other areas face a squeeze. did very well but other areas face a squeeze. and schools funding was quite a big issue. they thought that in the last election. 0h, quite a big issue. they thought that in the last election. oh, and outwardly. when i went around the country doorknocking and doing
11:41 pm
various events —— oh, undoubtedly. it wasn't even in the top three. schools was absolutely in the top two. lots of parents in conservative areas saying, how is it i am getting letters from my children's school to say that we have to provide money for things like books, you know, not fun extras, quite germane things for teaching. and all day today on the bbc and other broadcasters, head teachers have been out, and as you say the language was quite insulting to them, it didn't recognise the genuine crisis happening in education and teaching. you've had eight years of austerity with schools, you know, lots of schools are having a really... really struggling. some schools have four and a half days or four days a week, they don't have the right books, equipment, staff are leaving, teachers are leaving, teaching assistants are leaving at an alarming rate, so this isn'tjust a joke about getting an extra whiteboard or extra joke about getting an extra whiteboa rd or extra bits joke about getting an extra whiteboard or extra bits and bobs, where talking about the core of
11:42 pm
schools and there is so much anger about this —— we're. schools and there is so much anger about this -- we're. he really undermined his message in a way which could have been a positive message with the language he used. let's go to the times, and "brexit passports" leading to a rush for irish passports. anecdotally we have heard for people doing this, people seeking out an irish grandparent, 150,000 applications seeking out an irish grandparent, 150 , 000 applications received seeking out an irish grandparent, 150,000 applications received since the referendum as people try to hang on to being able to be in the eu. we we re on to being able to be in the eu. we were talking about this earlier and there was a quote from neil richmond, chairman of the irish senate brexit committee who says 10% of the uk population can technically apply for irish citizenship which is obviously a huge number, so you think 150,000 is big, obviously a huge number, so you think150,000 is big, it obviously a huge number, so you think 150,000 is big, it could get a lot biggerfive—month think 150,000 is big, it could get a lot bigger five—month out from brexit with deadlock all—around, brussels, deadlock in the cabinet, and not many signs of progress right now. absolutely. i mean it was very interesting today that yvette cooper who is the chair for the home
11:43 pm
affairs select committee had evidence session on immigration and border control and the readiness of alice in a country in case of a no deal the answers were not hugely —— readiness of our country. they get a ha rd readiness of our country. they get a hard time to carolyn noakes, the immigration minister, and the border staff and people are genuinely worried. so there is the issue of, do you want to queue up if you're coming to this country, or going somewhere, hence the irish passport, but there is legitimate concern for businesses, you think so many businesses, you think so many businesses rely on the freedom of people, and also goods and the supply chain and things like that. evenif supply chain and things like that. even if there isjust supply chain and things like that. even if there is just a supply chain and things like that. even if there isjust a tiny supply chain and things like that. even if there is just a tiny delay on each thing that is going to have a big aggregate knock on effect. so i think now a lot businesses, and lots of businesses, by the way, are not party political, they need to know certainty, they need to know what's happening. they have been saying that for, well, 18 months. yes. and they disbelieve that they don't know what there is supposed to
11:44 pm
be in terms of the transaction. -- transition. there is a chink of light, ollie robbins was spotted in brussels, the pm's chief eu sherpa and when he is in brussels speaking with sabine whalan that means that something is afoot. we could be... i have had two days writing about the budget and not as much about brexit which is very unusual. i think we are about to kick into the next round of brexit negotiations. and also, remember, if there is a no—deal brexit, another tiny bit of the small print of the budget is all of the good stuff might not happen if there is a no—deal brexit. of the good stuff might not happen if there is a no-deal brexit. to the guardian, donald trump ending migrant babies' right to citizenship. this is the long—standing law in that country that you can, if your child is born there, doesn't matter where you're from, they get citizenship but he wa nts to from, they get citizenship but he wants to rip it up. we shouldn't be
11:45 pm
surprised. this has been the centrepiece... one of the centrepieces of donald trump's election campaign. he argues if you're the trial of an illegal immigrant, those jonrond shouldn't be entitled to the full benefits of us citizenship. he says that's ridiculous and fundamentally wrong. obviously the midterms are round the corner, and he's reminding his core voters, a big swathe of america, i am tough on migration and this is my message ahead of the midterms. absolutely and people are really shocked about this, because it's pa rt of shocked about this, because it's part of the constitution, the 14th amendment. america is a nation born of immigrants from all over the world, ireland, all over the place, immigrants from all over the world, ireland, all overthe place, going to america. this is a huge part of the psychology of america. donald trump himself is from immigrant parents born in america, his mother was scottish. this is a very big
11:46 pm
move, but you're right, he's had a ha rd move, but you're right, he's had a hard time, he's had the kavanaugh affair, his response to the synagogue shooting was seen as very crass in terms of pivoting back into everything about gun control. he's had a rocky time. he's got the midterms coming up, where is he on his safest ground? immigration, throwing red meat on to his base, close the borders, these people are coming, the caravan is coming, build the wall, ban the muslims, when he's in that zone he feels strong and he will win when it comes to a culture war. we're going to see a lot more... this is a good fight, a bad moral fight but a good political fight for him to pick. moving to the ft. fight for him to pick. moving to the ft, a shakeup in the foreign office. jeremy hunt has ruffled feathers by asking business chiefs to be diplomats. we can all apply, that's the news rule. what country are you going to go for? may be belgium at this rate! it's it's a fantastic
11:47 pm
storage. traditionally it's part of the civil service, civil servants go through to the top jobs and you become an ambassador all over the world. that could be no more. we could end up like america, having very wealthy businessmen and successful people banging the drum and changing the outlook. its ruffled feathers. looking at the quote from peter ricketts, the former secretary at the foreign office, he said an ambassador is far more than a salesman for britain, what symbol does it send out about the view of the government for the professionalism of civil service staff? it's interesting, you're right, it was seen as the elite plum job and you had to work your way up to become a senior civil servant and get these plum roles. often senior civil servants in downing street close to a prime minister were given a job like this. in a way it is good to open it up, particularly in a post—brexit world, we need some more
11:48 pm
charismatic people but i think there will be a backlash. it won't be ordinary people allowed to go for it, there will be a lot of cronyism. the whole thing... even though brexit is about getting away from the elites, this could be more cronyism and a litres. back to the times, does it come with stripes? police launch clothing range —— and elitism. they want to be like the nypd. will it work? will chorus line up nypd. will it work? will chorus line up to buy this range of clothing? nypd. will it work? will chorus line 7ii don't think so —— tourists. when you think about the nypd, you think about the amazing tv show and hill street blues, lapd, the music is really cool, even chips with the motorbike... the met... it is really depressing. you think bad things miscarriages ofjustice. you don't think about it being really cool.
11:49 pm
you think about it being really grim. i think of line of duty, a phenomenal show, one of the best i've ever watched, and surely you could sell it without! they were like angela merkel trouser suits, not very sexy! -- with that. do you wa nt not very sexy! -- with that. do you want a metropolitan police service teddy bear, homeware, otherthings? and cressida dick as well... i got the marketing spectacularly wrong. the company behind this has done branding for tate galleries, hobbs and the fast food chain... those are really on trend brands that do really on trend brands that do really well. if they can do that for that then maybe they can do that for this. when is it launching? could ta ke this. when is it launching? could take time. you could prove me wrong and we could do it with our net caps on. a halloween note on the express.
11:50 pm
spooky spending to hit £690 million —— met caps on. spooky spending to hit £690 million -- met caps on. it's incredible how halloween has become so big in this country. when i was growing up a million years ago, you make a rubbish outfit and do a bit of trick—or—treating, but it's such a big business, quite and americanised in terms of people dressing up. i believe you've got your daughter more than one outfit? we've got three, 17 months old and we have a baby three, 17 months old and we have a ba by grow three, 17 months old and we have a baby grow with a pumpkin and a full pumpkin outfit. the main point is when we go to nursery tomorrow, she needs to look the part. a grievous error probably. you can take loads of pictures to embarrass her when she's older. i'm fully intrigued about the pumpkin outfit. what is the half pumpkin outfit? just the baby grow... when you look at kids
11:51 pm
today in halloween outfits, they are quite scary, they are not funny any more. full werewolf masks. in camden it is hard to find out who is dressed up and who isn't! will you be giving these gifts to the children? i'm going to hide in the pub because i'm grumpy. but you have to... we've got loads of sweets, i'm ready. but some people say healthy snacks. hand out some pumpkin! mars bars! 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 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 thankyou to my guests this evening, steven swinford and ayesha hazarika. goodbye. good evening, i'm azi farni here with your latest sports news.
