to them both up what's aspiring to them both up what's tricky is the security service doesn't comment on who and is not —— who is and is not a survival that they cannot say who is a spy. it does not help, and so the foreign secretary as they have it here in the mail say he is creating retaliation. it is not clear that much can be done, and this poor guy is potentially locked up for life. pressure efforts will now go on on a diplomatic level in he can serve that sentence or part of it back at home in the uk, and we have to be, i think gratefulfor the home in the uk, and we have to be, i think grateful for the protections of basic rule of law and human rights. that means you cannot be locked up for five minutes of access toa locked up for five minutes of access to a lawyer. while we could retaliate, we do sell arms the way —— we do sell arms the uae. retaliate, we do sell arms the way -- we do sell arms the uae. we could stop selling them weapons. i think the shock of this story comes from

that he was kept in solitary confinement for six months, but he was released in october. i think jeremy had a meeting with the crown prince at the time, and i think the understanding was that there would be some leniency shown to matthew hedges. and that he turns up at the steering committee gets a sentence. i think that comes as a shock because they thought there would be a much more lenient sentence shown to him, and i think there will definitely be criticism from matthew hedges's family towards the foreign office. there already has been from his wife, and i think they could and should have done more. i think people were not expecting this. there is an appeal process being expected. let's move on to the daily telegraph and because brexit of course is never far from the front pages, and the telegraph this is

interesting because they really have a detailed rundown on what happened in the cabinet meeting when they we re in the cabinet meeting when they were discussing teresa may‘s eu withdrawal draft agreement and that pivotal cabinet meeting. there are some quotes that came out of that.l huge amount of efforts have come in over the decades to keep minutes of secret, and now we get these details pretty much as soon as they happen. details of what mr hunt said, and this idea of it being a turkey trap is nothing to do with christmas sadly, but simply to do with turkey the way it has been deferred 30 yea rs the way it has been deferred 30 years —— has been about how turkey has been for 30 years. hunt is warning that we might get stuck there. well they are stuck trying to get in, we are stuck trying to get out. part of the league campaign was

one that turkey was joining, and now it is enough to make the mind meld. these clothes that they have, they are not leaked minutes. they pieced together by talking to members of the cabinet. —— of these quotes... jeffrey cox was the attorney general who recently gave that great speech in october that he sounds like an actor does the d? he sounds like an actor does the d? he sounds like an actor doesn't he? he's probably hooked up in downing street trying to find a backstop, and that is aside, he had an analogy about going out to sail on open seat on a raft that says to oil drums latched together on it classic sale, but

ultimately the criticism is of the deal but he has backed it, but penny morden who is an international film secretary likened it to sink it was like going out to peddle them. —— likened it to going out to peddle them. what she made? we're going out into a large pond. if you elect the political editor of the telegraph it looks like he has spoken to a dozen sources. looks like he has spoken to a dozen soui’ces. “— looks like he has spoken to a dozen sources. —— if you speak from the political editor of the telegraph, it was like he spoke to a dozen sources. these are the kind of rebel cabinet ministers, but the most cabinet ministers, but the most cabinet ministers, but the most cabinet ministers who have objected most of this deal, and they are penny morden, people michael goldman

and liam fox. jeremy hunt, obvious and liam fox. jeremy hunt, obvious and developed on the way and has developed more support. he has had a good run and foreign secretary. you might assume that this is positioning himself. if he not spoken to every one of the cabinet made notes. apparently, matt hancock said that the permanent surgery at the department of health could not guarantee people would get the medicine they need in the event of no—deal brexit. medicine they need in the event of no-deal brexit. let's go onto another story on the front page of the telegraph which is that british spy the telegraph which is that british spy chiefs trying to stop the president dropped from exposing their sources. —— president trump

from exposing their stores is. —— sources. this is a complex story. that was authorised, the spying during the electric camp —— election campaign, they had to assemble what was probable cause. in the uk we call that premier vessey a evidence, to suggest that there was a reason on why the font that is assembled bits and pieces of evidence from the security. almost all of our intelligence with the us so there is bits of pieces of uk intelligence in this application. trump said that that application was flawed and corrupt, and so you want —— and he wa nts to corrupt, and so you want —— and he wants to release it. he says their source is in danger, and they are

pulling hell and high water to stop that. financial times. pulling hell and high water to stop that. financialtimes. they pulling hell and high water to stop that. financial times. they have a story that it be online gambling group at 365 has got and absolutely staggering pay packet. £220 million, andi staggering pay packet. £220 million, and i think our business editor works out as something like three quarters of £1 million a day. there isa quarters of £1 million a day. there is a picture of her in the front of the express. looking at this earlier, this does show how much money is in the gambling industry if they are able to make that amount of money. of course, if you're watching the paper, and you're talking about the paper, and you're talking about the problem with gambling addiction in young people, the numbers have gone up by four times. one in young people, the numbers have

gone up by fourtimes. one in in young people, the numbers have gone up by four times. one in seven are actually gambling. they are gambling more than they are drinking or smoking. that illustrates even with young people. gambling isjust seems to be an epidemic. it is illustrated here by the amount of money coming in. it is interesting. bet 365‘s rise has been helped by a ban on internet betting and lots of other countries like china, india, the united states, so internet betting in europe, and the uk is huge. absolutely. that 365 grew out of local bookies to that denise coates ca m e of local bookies to that denise coates came in taking over the familyfarm, and coates came in taking over the family farm, and has turned it into this phenomenally successful company. it is a company that essentially preying on a huge number

of honourable people, because that is what gambling does. it sells us excitement in turn that takes our money. i think what need to think creatively how we regulate it. make sure some of the super profits are recycled. this could help tackle the problems from young people in terms of addiction on our high streets. 0ne of addiction on our high streets. one of the issues is, if you watch football on tv, people like bet365 a lot of the advertising is from them. young people are watching. the last story, the express says a shocking rise in child diabetes. sadly we do not have very much detail on the front page, but what we're seeing is there is no something like 7000 sufferers under the age of 25, so we say young people but obviously we do not have a breakdown of the ages

exactly, but that is ten times the number officially recorded as being referred to specialist paediatric units. ten years ago, no children have this condition. type two diabetes. it is extraordinary. the government has been doing things to try to tackle childhood obesity. we know there was news today and yesterday, the sugar tax has brought up yesterday, the sugar tax has brought up revenue yesterday, the sugar tax has brought up revenue by a the sugar campaigners are now going after things like fruit shakes. instead of the blood that they're trying to ta ke the blood that they're trying to take one place and eradicate childhood obesity. —— in the southern london they are trying to eradicate childhood obesity. that is like an experiment to see if eve ryo ne like an experiment to see if everyone can work together. they

wa nt to ta ke everyone can work together. they want to take lessons and show them to the rest of the country. it is not going to tackle the problem which is leading to this level of health cost. that's it for the papers for this hour. don't forget, you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website, bbc.co. uk/papers. thank you, polly mackenzie and lynn davidson. goodbye for now. hello there. temperatures are tumbling away now and the clear skies, but earlier on today and they did not feel quite as cold. still went three pitch mind you. we did have some welcome sunshine earlier on and we are paying the price for that now underneath the clear skies.

northern england on the easterly breezes that it is a fairly light breeze, and the winds will be as strong in eastern scotland. those temperatures will be similar to that buddy today six to 8 degrees. moving into friday, there are a few holes in the clouds here and there. —— those temperatures will be similar to that of today, six to 8 degrees. a few showers across scotland. it should be a little bit less cold across southern parts of england and wales. here we are closer to lower pressure. that weather front is attempting to push showers up a notch as clipping the southwest, but running through the english channel and going through other english areas. we still have easterly breeze, and a little bit of sunshine here and there. it's beginning to turn a little bit colder in the

north, but still double figures in the south. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11pm: theresa may says further talks are needed to finalise a brexit deal before sunday's planned eu summit following a crunch meeting in brussels this evening. we have had a very good meeting this evening. we have made further progress. as a result we have given sufficient direction to negotiators and they can resolve the remaining issues. that work will start immediately. concerns for a 31—year—old british academicjailed for life in the united arab emirates on charges of spying. a six—year—old sexually assaulted by boys at school — her parents win compensation from the local authority. gambling has made this woman britain's highest paid executive. denise coates earned £265 million last year from bet365.
