11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news with rachel scofield. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment. first, the headlines. five ministers in theresa may's cabinetjoin forces to try and persuade her to make changes to the draft brexit agreement. other ministers voice their support for the prime minister. president trump is visiting california, where wildfires have killed at least 71 people and left thousands homeless. piece is the destruction of this are telling me this isn't even as the sum areas, some areas are beyond this, it isjust sum areas, some areas are beyond this, it is just charred. sum areas, some areas are beyond this, it isjust charred. one sum areas, some areas are beyond this, it is just charred. one thing we have, we have a great people in the world looking and helping the best responders. —— the first responders. according to reports in us media, the cia believes the saudi crown prince ordered the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi. the broadcaster, writer
11:31 pm
and former newsreader, richard baker, has died at the age of 93. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nigel nelson, political editor for the sunday mirror and the sunday people, and the political commentator, jo phillips. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the sunday telegraph leads on the bitter brexit row in the conservative party, reporting that 25 letters of no confidence in the prime minister have been submitted, with tory mp zac goldsmith adding his to the pile. meanwhile, the sunday express claims leading brexit campaigners and former cabinet ministers. david davis and borisjohnson have had talks to decide which of them should stand to replace the prime minister, if there is a vote of no confidence. theresa may has allowed
11:32 pm
britain to be "blackmailed and bullied" by brussels, that's according to the former brexit secretary dominic raab in an interview with the sunday times. while the observer reports that a longer transition deal will cost more, adding up to £10 billion to the so—called divorce bill. the independent has a picture of protests by environmental campaigners as they brought parts of london to a standstill today, staging sit—ins and blocking five bridges over the thames. the sunday mirror leads on a mother of three who took her own life after her daughter said she was chased by the nhs for prescripton fees. the mail on sunday has spoken to a teacher who claims vulnerable children at her school are being tricked into believing they are the wrong sex. so unsurprisingly brexit and the divide in the conservative party leads many of tomorrow's papers.
11:33 pm
that gives you a flavour of what has been a mad week. brexit very much leading the way. we will start with the observer, so many we can look at with varying different angles, this is the observer, brussels tells reza mate more delays to brexit will cost the uk £10 billion. this is a new story that doesn't revolve around brexiteers or cabinet fallout. become straight from the eu, who as you say, it is going to cost another £10 billion, on top of the £39 billion of the divorce bill. that is something for her to bear in mind, because i am sure when we go through the papers we will be talking about the papers we will be talking about the possibility that there might be a longer time. as this deal goes backwards and forwards in the commons. she has got a crucial week ahead of her. it will be, the summit of that will be a summit in brussels next sunday with other eu leaders.
11:34 pm
it is self evident, isn't it? if we stay in the eu for an extra gear, you have got to keep paying. we paid them billion pounds this year. the brexiteers will hate it. of course they will! the other thing the observer are reporting on, they have got a poll which says, delivering more bad news for mrs may, with the labour opening up a 3—point lead. three points is not very much but for labour at that is quite a significant lead. what is interesting is that this poll shows that tory lead supporters are deserting the conservative party. and quite considerable numbers compared with a month ago, the conservatives have dropped five points to 36, labour is up to 39 and you could have gone up slightly. one would assume that the disgruntled leaders are going to ukip. we will talk about the poll in a minute, while we are on the observer, they
11:35 pm
are focusing on these five key brexiteers who have come forward and said we will stick with you, but we wa nt to said we will stick with you, but we want to make a few changes, if that is all right. this is the boring cabinet. you think the tory party, get rid of that silly bird and have a love of peace to calm everybody down. these are the five cabinet ministers who are getting together to try and get theresa may to change her mind on the deal and go back and negotiate something else. she says this is the deal, the is it, this is the end of it. europe's is the same thing. —— europe says the same thing. —— europe says the same thing. you cannot go back and start renegotiating sol thing. you cannot go back and start renegotiating so i am not sure what they are up to. they have been told this constantly that they can negotiate it, obviously they do believe that prime minister. segway us believe that prime minister. segway us into your paper, all of these issues that we are talking about, you wonder where it leaves the great british public and what they are thinking and your paper has been
11:36 pm
doing some polling to see what we think of where we have got to now. one of the things that is interesting is, it is always useful to have two polls in the papers to compare because there are similar results here. one thing is we give labour a 4—point lead, where as the observer gave them three points. what is interesting here is, labour have not borne up, but the tories have not borne up, but the tories have gone down 3%. one would think that this to do with what has happened this week. ukip come interestingly, have gone up two points. what you see there is that there has been an impact on the public on what has been going on, but we also end up with other result which show that the majority do not wa nt which show that the majority do not want a second referendum, which is interesting. that they don't want a general election, 50% say that. and
11:37 pm
half of the voters say they want theresa may to stay in base to see through brexit. those are the kind of messages that the politicians backin of messages that the politicians back in westminster in their little bubble could well do to take on—board. bubble could well do to take on-board. i think it is very interesting that actually can we have called it a two fingers to jacob rees mogg, it doesn't actually have your name on it. it is very interesting that people, real people, actually do believe that she is the best person to take us in this, and not any of these sharks who are circling. it is as if they don't realise what is going out there with the public, whojust don't realise what is going out there with the public, who just want us there with the public, who just want us to get on with it. you got the percentages or the contenders who might fancy their chances. the favourite bear, if there was to be a replacement, boris johnson remains the favourite, but only one in five vote rs the favourite, but only one in five voters actually fancy him. it and starts going down dramatically, jacob rees mogg,17%, starts going down dramatically,
11:38 pm
jacob rees mogg, 17%, jeremy hunt one in ten voters think he will be all right and poor old michael gove got 8%. you said he could be prime minister! i do think that michael gove could be on the way to being theresa may's replacement when she decides to step down. shall we get that in writing? this is the same man who in august last year said that jacob rees mogg would be man who in august last year said thatjacob rees mogg would be prime minister. i was joking on that front! take us into the independent. the question we are wrestling now is will we have deal or no deal, tory mps warn hardliners they may abandon brexit. this is moderate conservatives and the approach they may take to avoid an ideal. yes, i think this goes back to what nigel was just saying, it is clear at the moment that it is theresa may's deal or no deal. but this idea that actually, the moderate conservatives would actually create tighter
11:39 pm
relationships, keep us closer to europe, or turn against brexit altogether if the purest we're in the party at the deal that theresa may is proposing this week. i think thatis may is proposing this week. i think that is quite interesting because it actually takes us into a whole different territory. if the tory party intends on its own self—destruction, if labour vote is against the bill when it comes to the commons, which they say they are actually going to. we are then stuck with no deal. then you would have to say what happens next? will we move closer to a second referendum, which people want, although we have seen in figures people want, although we have seen infigures in people want, although we have seen in figures in the observer and nigel‘s paper that there is not much shift and there are questions about the democracy and the democratic value of doing another referendum in hoping to change thinking. i do think this is really quite an interesting move from the moderate. to an extent it has been stoked by numberten,
11:40 pm
to an extent it has been stoked by number ten, project fear to get the brexiteers on—board. you mess about, you could lose brexit complete the. what is interesting is the parliamentary process because quite clearly, if theresa may loses her deal, the mp5 cannot stomach the idea of no deal, then it is up to parliament to decide 0k, what happens next? the suggestion is, what happens next is that they would have to withdraw article 50 and postpone it, that would keep us in the eu. once you start looking at the eu. once you start looking at the different choices they have got to make, there is not much room after that. and there is not much time. we are not that far off, four months away. exactly. nevertheless, the sunday express focusing again on people winding up after theresa may's demise. tory rebels making their move. i was good to say the usual suspects, but certainly boris johnson is lingering. doesn't it just looked like these two pubs in
11:41 pm
—— these two blokes in a pub over a boozy lunch, you do it, no you do it. this is plotters central. david davis, and borisjohnson, one—time foreign secretary. i think that boris johnson's foreign secretary. i think that borisjohnson‘s credibility certainly with the general public and amongst the tory grassroots is actually falling. at eds as the mark. the implication from the poll you were talking about, is that people actually don't like this level of disloyalty. there is a recognition that theresa may, however bad you think the deal is, is actually doing a reasonable job and she is doing it with an enormous amount of grace and depression just on the work load a low. these grinning buffoons don't stand a chance. they don't seem very popular with tory mps either, it is unlikely that we get to the finishing line, to candidate to put before the tory membership. we should point out
11:42 pm
there is a long way to go before any of that does or doesn't happen. the mail on sunday has on their front page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tier found guilty page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tierfound guilty by page, an exclusive interview with lord lester tier found guilty by the house of lords commission standards. —— lester. this had various twists and turns, but it predates that of decision by the house of lords. this is probably of huge interest to journalists like us, the way newspapers work. what has happened here is they do the interview when lord lester thinks he is facing a four—year ban from the house of lords, then he discovers subsequently to doing the interview that he is not facing a four—year ban because the whole thing has been sent back to the committee for privileges to reconsider. obviously it will be interesting to know if lord lester did the interview, if he
11:43 pm
knew what was subsequently going to happen. but then the whole story is he is giving his side of the case, which we will not go into now. it is an interesting thing. it does say in here that as i look was about to leave, the reporter, came the stunning news that is banned had been overturned. —— his then had been overturned. —— his then had been overturned. —— his then had been overturned. the interview was going on. —— his ban. an interesting interview into deadlines and journalism. that really was the only part, there is one other that veers away from brexit and we will come full circle because the sunday times, their cartoon is worth a look. it made us laugh. it is absolutely delightful. they have got a picture of the seven dwa rves they have got a picture of the seven dwarves holding a newspaper, the
11:44 pm
headline is seven tory leadership contenders and one of them is saying there is shifty, randy, pushy, lazy and dull. i think we covered them! we might have seen pictures of them along the way, we will leave it to other people to decide. 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, 7 days 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 nigel nelson and jo phillips. goodbye.
