10:32 pm
every year, the queen, surrounded by members of her family. they came because country called. because they knew it had to be done. but unless they went to fight, there could be no peace. thousands of poppy petals, a silent tribute to all those who served and made the ultimate sacrifice. sarah campbell, bbc news. there'll be full coverage of the armistice commemorations, here and in france tomorrow, across the bbc. but that's it, from me and the team, have a very good night. good evening. we have had some
10:33 pm
rather turbulent skies with the weather today but where we have not seen the shower these were taken in the shetland isles, beautiful blue skies. the showers are being driven by the same area of low pressure that gave us such a wet speu low pressure that gave us such a wet speuin low pressure that gave us such a wet spell in the last 2a hours, you can see the clouds spiralling around this area of low pressure, this vast area to the west of us and it has been bringing bands of showers and a notable one across southern scotland in the evening is moving northwards and the showers across eastern parts as well will be slowly clearing. as the rain is clearfrom northern scotla nd the rain is clearfrom northern scotland it is you we could see a touch of frost towards morning and even patchy mist and fog because the wind is light and in northern ireland but elsewhere, there are more showers to follow. here it will bea more showers to follow. here it will be a relatively mild night once again. but unfortunately that means
10:34 pm
as we move into remembrance sunday into armistice centenary commemoration is there is a high chance of catching showers. across england and wales, particularly west of england, southern england so the south—east and the midlands and east anglia, around about 11 o'clock it still looks wet. it may well cleared away from the cenotaph by that time but there is still uncertainty to get that detail and even before then if you're heading out will be showers around, heavy showers with helen thunder and perhaps fewer for northern ireland but they're coming back into dumfries and dumfries and galloway and the low lands in scotla nd galloway and the low lands in scotland and may be that coal strike gives us sunshine first thing across northern scotland. there are areas but we will escape the showers but they cannot be guaranteed and even more so showers clear into the north sea there is still pestering them coming into the south and west bother of the face of things that looks like fewer showers for the afternoon for england and wales but more of scotland and later northern
10:35 pm
ireland. that is because we have low— pressure ireland. that is because we have low—pressure still close by which are starting to fill and become wea ker are starting to fill and become weaker into monday, still lots of showers in the west and possibly wrinkles by to the south and east but in between good spells of sunshine and hopefully the weather will continue to come down as we move further into next week. there is more on the website, as ever. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anne ashworth, associate editor at the times, and the author and journalist yasmin alibhai—brown. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer leads with criticism of the prime minister's brexit deal from former education secretary justine greening, who said the plans are ‘the biggest giveaway of sovereignty in modern times'. the sunday times says eu officials have rejected theresa may's plan, sparking fears that negotiations have broken down with little time to go. and the sunday telegraph warns that
10:36 pm
conservative backbenchers and dup mps will vote down mrs may's deal even if it is supported by her cabinet. armistice day is the focus of the front page of the sunday express. and that's the front page story for the mail on sunday as well. their behalf. some reflections on armistice day but lots of stories on the problems besetting the brexit process. let us start with the sunday times, the brexit deal crashes as eu turns off the life—support? crashes as eu turns off the life-support? this is a very sobering story because let us remember that a few days ago the prime minister had been hoping to present a plan to cabinet and then possibly put this to the vote next
10:37 pm
month in parliament and it seems as if the whole structure is coming crumbling down at first we have the intervention ofjoe johnson yesterday with his extraordinary critical remarks about the deal and now it seems as if the eu is turning on mrs may by not allowing any mechanism by which we could leave the customs union during any intermediate period after we leave the eu. it seems a safe we would not be allowed out whether there is no deal or if we had some sort of deal. this is a tremendously complex tory but essentially it seems as if mrs may cannot show this plan to her cabinet as expected. in a way, why are we even surprised? surprise that brussels is not doing our bidding? they have their own very serious
10:38 pm
issues at the moment, the future of the eu, and also we cannot simply make demands and assume... i think she is an extraordinary woman and i am nota she is an extraordinary woman and i am not a tory, but resilience has been extraordinary. but she has the members of the cabinet against and parliament, which is dubious, and i'iow parliament, which is dubious, and now brussels and even her inner circle seems unconvinced by the chequers deal and now this time of thing she was offering but i never understood. it was a complicated arrangement. i try to get around this problem of not wanting the hard border in ireland... the idea was there would be a temporary customs union. but her party is very worried that would leave them trapped forever. let's go back to the words ofjoejohnson, forever. let's go back to the words ofjoe johnson, we would forever. let's go back to the words ofjoejohnson, we would be governed by europe but with no say. essentially, ,
10:39 pm
by europe but with no say. essentially,, but how is it that everybody only recognises this is a problem? why is everything suddenly collapsing this weekend ? problem? why is everything suddenly collapsing this weekend? is it that people have thought, if i don't speak up now, it may go through?” think it is connected to our internal politics of the tory party. 0ur internal domestic policies as much as anything else. there is a bit in the report which i must say could be clearer. apparently, graham brady, the chairman of the 1922 committee, the backbench committee, the powerful committee that decides oi'i the powerful committee that decides on who becomes leader, was accused... here suppressing information that he received enough letters to trigger a leadership contest. 48 letters could trigger that. i don't know if this as
10:40 pm
enemies of theresa may planting the story or if it is true. we have a lot more brexit stories that we will come back to but before that, let's ta ke come back to but before that, let's take a quick look at another story on the front page of the sunday times. trump goes missing in action as rain falls on his parade. of course, there was heavy rain as his commemorations went on, which, of course, many of those fought 100 yea rs course, many of those fought 100 years ago and died in could not forego. his decision not to go rightly brought condemnation. these people died in the mud and rain of the trenches and the president felt he could not go. some will say that maybe he feared what it might do to his hair. far be it for me to even mention that! logistical reasons? may be the transport was unavailable
10:41 pm
but this was the most serious day. and globally, everybody feels...” love the uae is capable of understanding any of that. i think there is something strangely shallow about this matter, i don't think he gets that it is 100 years. i don't think he understands the seriousness of anything, really. think he understands the seriousness ofanything, really. in think he understands the seriousness of anything, really. in a way i feel sorry for him. let us look at some of the other papers. the observer... back to brexit. the top tory says theresa may is handing power to the eu in brexit deal. this is another former conservative minister unhappy, justine greening, unhappy with the prime minister? who resigned in january. and with the prime minister? who resigned injanuary. and she has this freedom to speak. i hear from people in this world that there are many more than four who will come
10:42 pm
out. ijust many more than four who will come out. i just cannot many more than four who will come out. ijust cannot make my mind up whether it is get theresa may out, is it really about that and put somebody like david davis in to take a side of europe? 0r somebody like david davis in to take a side of europe? or is it really about the eu? but it is a total mess. what does the world think about us? when we cannot do this in any sensible way. we are close to a constitutional crisis. and even if the cabinet manages to say a very relu cta nt the cabinet manages to say a very reluctant yes to this deal, i cannot see that it can get through parliament and in such a situation, the mps must win, must be not? then you have the mess that is the labour party and i speak from somebody —— as somebody from the left and i have never known a more inept set of responses from the opposition. i
10:43 pm
don't know what they think what they want. jeremy corbyn has been making it clear that he does not want another referendum, is something johnson was talking about earlier. which i want. i don't want another yes, no. but we need a people's vote. labour has been absolutely useless. but this story echoes what joejohnson said useless. but this story echoes what joe johnson said about useless. but this story echoes what joejohnson said about the fact useless. but this story echoes what joe johnson said about the fact that surely may's plan would just end up leaving too much power in the hands of the eu because we would be sounding —— beholden to so many of their rules. he used this phrase, vast knowledge, this rather archaic expression, to say that we would be absolutely in thrall to the eu without the ability to intervene and one would wonder whether —— why we
10:44 pm
had exit at all. bossi remain or a brexiteer? he was remain even though he did write the tory manifesto at the last election. just a reminder that while we are talking about britain's future relationship with europe, these extraordinarily moving ceremonies are going on across the uk and the world and this picture on the front page of the observer, of angela merkel and emanuel macron, an extraordinary sign of the significance of these events. and also their relationship. i think it is an extraordinary image. because we have to remember that in mainland europe, the deep commitment that many other nations have to each other and the leaders after each other, which we have always been a semidetached from, and i think it is quite a moving reminder of what the war was about, actually, it was
10:45 pm
meant to be again. we see these multilateralist in a world where there are more nationalist forces and you can see the tremendous justice, there is a very good, strong front—page that tells you a good story and you can see angela merkel looks truly a sad, not only for what has happened but what may lie ahead for europe. it must be an extraordinary day for her. the sunday telegraph... we are back to brexit! what we were talking about a few moments ago, mps will block theresa may's brexit plan. this is a prediction, but the commons will not support this? you have her own ministers and the commons resistance although i have... i am ministers and the commons resistance although i have... iam prepared ministers and the commons resistance although i have... i am prepared to imagine that labour mps will be forced to go with theresa may. we might geta forced to go with theresa may. we might get a very strange scenario
10:46 pm
where she says —— she saved not by the dup but by labour and i hope that does not happen but i think it is entirely likely. labour have indicated... they don't want the no deal. they are not for that no—deal brexit but anything else is fine. that is a problem because anything else is not fine. you were talking about the constitutional crisis, as this would provoke one of them? ed wood. there are many perplexing pieces in this story. the support of so many of the constituency chairman for no deal. do they really know what they would be supporting? the returning of kent into a lorry park as we try to work, somebody tries to work out which glories with drugs and foodstuffs could come through and foodstuffs could come through and those that could not? i think that this is a moment where we
10:47 pm
should just tell down the rhetoric and try... these politicians should act the national interest. do we have the right to say, could we go back? we article 50 but can we say, we wa nt back? we article 50 but can we say, we want to look back and sign it at a later time, by me know what we are doing? there is some mechanism that we might be able to postpone this. but with the eu in the mood it currently seems to be in, they don't seem to be minded to make any concessions. their stance seems to be hardening. at the moment when you think you should be a coming together. there does seem to be a sense that this is coming to a head because time is running out. one must never write off theresa may. she may yet persuade the europeans at least to play ball. she has surprises many times before. at least to play ball. she has
10:48 pm
surprises many times beforem at least to play ball. she has surprises many times before. it will only be a temporary resolution. her resilience is extraordinary, i can never look at that woman without hearing i will survive! but i think one of the fundamental mistakes she has made is she has maybe not been open enough. i think there has been a kind of. michael dugher should have been more schering, there has beena have been more schering, there has been a level of dissemination about this process, perhaps more openness would have brought the warring factions together. we are in a right old mess! whichever direction you look. on a very sombre day tomorrow, these papers will not make for a happy reading. let us look at a couple of other stories in the papers tomorrow. the telegraph also suggests that british businesses plan to implement microchips in staff. what is this about? 1984?!
10:49 pm
perhaps they will try the bbc first, actually! british companies are planning to microchip their employees in order to boost security and stop them exposing sensitive material, whereas we have a law protecting whistle—blowers so how this is going to work i do not know. exactly when in a job interview do you discuss, are you happy to be micro—chipped? if you, and work your? it is very interesting. what would happen if you say no? and also, if you cannot trust the people who have access to these kinds of documents, should they even be in the job? it is a serious issue. without brave people, including here, who spoke at... you would never get to hear about what is really going on in an organisation or business and if this is one way they are protecting themselves then
10:50 pm
i hope it is rejected. i'm not quite sure how it works, if you start criticising a company... it starts vibrating?! 0ne criticising a company... it starts vibrating?! one other story on the front page of the telegraph... hancock ponders attacks on age. matt hancock's latest plan of paying for social care. we heard nothing about this in the budget. i think this is a really interesting thing. but you... make people from the age of 40 boards pay a special tax to pay for their care in old age. this is something that has been constantly mooted and i think it is quite interesting but people would need to be assured that the money was ring fenced and that they would get help and if you are 40, that is quite a bit promise to make to a 40 something, don't worry, pay some tax and we will look after you in your later life. but i am massively
10:51 pm
pro—anything that does not make younger generations bear too much of the bill looking after the old. the problem is even 40—year—olds in large sectors of the economy are seriously underpaid. unless we have adequate wages and salaries, then 2.596, adequate wages and salaries, then 2.5%, it will feel like a big loss so there is a huge workforce which cannot afford to have this cut. and thatis cannot afford to have this cut. and that is something we never talk about, we talk about levels of employment but never levels of earnings. i think this is probably something we're going to have to face up to because people are living longer and the buildings to be paid and should we say to our children and should we say to our children and grandchildren, you will have to pay for us? no, because a huge section of the population, including
10:52 pm
myself, has properties worth a lot of money, more money than our children will ever have, and i think we should be the ones who should be doing this more than 40—year—olds. every solution so far suggested to pay for this ageing population and the growing need for social care has prompted an outcry. it is because people... we don't save enough for our pensions anyway. the current generation of people in retirement are probably better off than the people who will be going into retirement in about ten or 20 years. i think that we should treat them like grown—ups and say, you need to save more. 0r like grown—ups and say, you need to save more. or if you want to have a decent and comfortable old age... 0ther decent and comfortable old age... other countries are not slow in coming forward about this and we need to be much more honest about it. let's have a brief mention of armistice day. it is going to be an extraordinary occasion tomorrow and
10:53 pm
the sunday express, we must never forget... a simple picture on the front page. an amazing front page. we have a great quote from one of the combatants, they have ceased fighting and i have seen the last shot fired. i never dreamt it was possible in my wildest dreams, no more dangers or wars were misery. what an extraordinary way of summing up what an extraordinary way of summing up what we are all going to be marking tomorrow on armistice day. absolutely. thank you. we must leave it for there. thank you. that's it for the papers this hour. anne ashworth and yasmin alibhai—brown will be back at 11.30pm for another look at the papers. the weather is next, then i'll be back with the latest headlines at the top of the hour. conditions were atrocious on the
10:54 pm
roads and they will be this evening. but some areas had a few showers, northern ireland, this was more day in northern scotland. the little blue skies, contrasted with when the rain came down in berkshire. showers are being driven by the same area of low pressure that has given us such a wet spell in the last 24 hours. you can see the cloud is spiralling around this area of low pressure, this vast area. sitting to the west of us. bringing in bands of showers and across southern scotland it is making northwards and across eastern parts as well. they will slowly clear out of away. as the rain is clear out of away. as the rain is clear from northern scotland clear out of away. as the rain is clearfrom northern scotland it clear out of away. as the rain is clear from northern scotland it is you we could see a touch of frost towards morning and even patchy mist and fog because the winds for light here and in northern ireland but as you can see elsewhere, there are more showers to follow. here it'll bea more showers to follow. here it'll be a relatively mild night once again but unfortunately that means as we head into remembrance sunday,
10:55 pm
armistice day, there is a high chance of catching showers. across england and wales, in particular. western and southern 0pen england, the south—east and the midlands and east anglia. around about 11 o'clock it still looks quite wet in eastern areas. it might query away from the cenotaph —— by that time but there is still uncertainty to get that detail and even before then, if heading about there will be showers, some heavy showers with hail and thunder. perhaps fewer for northern ireland but they are coming back into dumfries and galloway and the lowla nds into dumfries and galloway and the lowlands of scotland and might be that coal strike gives a study of sunshine first thing across northern scotla nd sunshine first thing across northern scotland so there are some areas where we will hopefully escape the showers but they cannot be guaranteed and even more so showers clear into the north sea there is still pestering of coming back into the southend west but in the face of things looks like we will see fewer showers for the afternoon for england and wales but will offer scotla nd england and wales but will offer scotland and later northern ireland. that is because of the too precious
10:56 pm
to close by which is starting to fill and become weaker in demand as a lots of showers in the west and possibly rain close by to the south and east but in between some good spells of sunshine and hopefully the weather will continue to come down further into next week. as ever, there is more on the website. this is bbc news. i'm carol walker. the headlines at 11:00: one of the key commemorations to mark a hundred years since the end of the first world war has taken place in the north of paris. some 70 world leaders are in france for the centenary. senior members of the royal family and the prime minister attend a festival of rememberance at the royal albert hall. the former transport minister, jojohnson, says more ministers may resign over the prime minister's brexit plans, and voters were sold a false prospectus in the referendum. we are not going to get greater
