ireland, milder air pushing into ireland, south—west england, wales as well. to the east, hanging on to the colder air. but look at this mass across the atlantic. low pressure starting to spiral up. a nasty one potentially bringing gales a few days after that. wednesday, much milder and wetter but also much windier. have a good rest of the weekend. hello. this is bbc news with martine croxall. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment — first, the headlines. theresa may is in brussels tonight, ahead of tomorrow's summit to approve her brexit deal the prime minister has just released a letter to the nation this evening asking for the public‘s support for the deal, which she says will lead to a brighter future
11:31 pm
and a new chapter in our national life. she also calls for a moment of reconciliation between remainers and leavers. mexico and the us have reached a deal over the migrant caravan that would see them stay in mexico while their asylum claims are heard — we'll be live in america for the latest. film director nicolas roeg, whose credits include don't look now and the man who fell to earth, has died at the age of 90. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn rentoul, who's chief political commentator at the independent, and benedicte paviot, who's uk correspondent for france 2a, and president of the foreign press association. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the mail on sunday says the prime minister is making a plea directly to the people with a letter urging the public to back her brexit deal. the sunday express also has
11:32 pm
theresa may's letter to the nation as its front page. the sunday telegraph has a photograph of the prime minister meeting the european commission president today but its lead article says both the cabinet and the eu are plotting separate plan b proposals for brexit based on a growing assumption that theresa may's plans will be blocked by parliament. the independent says the prime minister is facing a backlash over her agreement on gibraltar. it has a picture of the fuel protests in paris. and the sunday times leads on an investigation into an apartment block in london owned by a conservative donor. let's start with the sunday express. dea britain, get my —— get behind my deal and we can get on with brexit, trying to display the british public thatis trying to display the british public that is worth backing. this is a direct appealfrom that is worth backing. this is a direct appeal from the prime minister to the nation. i didn't think that many people would read
11:33 pm
the whole thing. it's whether you voted leave or romaine, it's a good dealfor the voted leave or romaine, it's a good deal for the whole country, says the prime minister and she wants this to be about renewal, reconciliation and to my mind, somewhat surprisingly, that must mark the point where are the united kingdom leaves the labels of leave and remain aside and become together again as one people. of leave and remain aside and become together again as one peoplem of leave and remain aside and become together again as one people. in the express, they've helpfully put 14 reasons to back the plan. i think it should go on your fridge. reasons to back the plan. i think it should go on yourfridge. some of the things to pick out, freedom of movement ends. we don't have the sense that money to brussels any more. assuming we leave. the end of free movement of people is the first item on that list of 40 bullet
11:34 pm
points but that's going to be part of the hard sell over the next few weeks. this is almost like a general election operation. i remembertony blair started this. he was filmed in his back garden in islington and writing his promises to the british people, 12 promises. now we are up to 40. the mail on sunday as it as well. i suppose the hope is that if people in the constituencies like it, they might convince their own mps. it's an uphill task. all the opinion polls show it's been attacked both sides. the leavers don't like it because we will still be tightly linked to the eu economy and the remainers don't like it because it is brexit. the mail on
11:35 pm
sunday, page two, picks up what is go to be happening over the next few days, and the different sort of objections you might get from different quarters. suggestions that theresa may might appear in a public debate on her deal. quite extraordinary. they say her aides are considering a live public debate between the prime minister and jeremy corbyn and this is in a bid to sell her deal directly to voters and humiliate them labour leader's lack of credibility on brexit. i have a plea as the president of the foreign press association representing the whole world. no need to jump on representing the whole world. no need tojump on a plane. right here, my standing invitation, for this prime minister, as former british prime ministers in office have done, come and talk to foreign correspondence to our reporting on this daily. what a shameless plug.
11:36 pm
honestly, disgraceful. it's a contrast with the election when theresa may would not take part in debates. she is not a good campaigner but she's got so much better. the new director of communications has something to do with this. the election she called with this. the election she called with the result that we know was run ina with the result that we know was run in a presidential style. here she seems to be, last saturday, she gave an interview where she cancelled her gym session after the very good ldc interview answering a lot of callers and handling it rather well, even though she is embattled from both sides and quite extraordinarily, she gave a lot of details about what a rock her husband is. and how they have beans on toast and she opened the chin and put the washing on. it
11:37 pm
worked, though, because remember it. when you are under attack like that, you need someone, whether it's your husband or partner, someone you can really let your hair down with. and comfort food, and/or two. let's look at the sunday times and the sunday telegraph has this story. these are remain as you are suggesting, within the cabinet, not the same gang of five who are threatening to resign if they didn't get another look at the deal, they are trying to get another look at the deal. spain almost put another spanner in the works. these are remainers who think we should have something to fall back on. everybody is talking about plan b. everybody is bound to be thinking about what happens if parliament rejects the deal. then
11:38 pm
there is talk of coming back to try again but supposing they reject it again. the papers are full of speculation about what these ministers are speculating about as the alternatives. and here it says on the sunday times, a majority of cabinet minutes believe she will lose the meaningful vote pencilled in an will forster to change tack. and then here come the names. philip hammond, david bevington, amber rudd, leg —— greg clark and david cork agreed they will try to get mrs may to adopt a softer breaks it if she can't get a plan through the commons. that could be voted down as well. it doesn't sound substantially different in what she is trying to get through the commons already. norway style deal which would still
11:39 pm
make britain ruled takers and not rulemakers. in all that, if it doesn't go through the first time, what would be important is how the eu what would be important is how the e u rea cts what would be important is how the eu reacts to that. there is a crunch summit coming up. it's extraordinary. it's a rubik ‘s cube squared. haven't you talked about anything else in the past 34 hours? we talk about press freedom, and the murder ofjamal khashoggi. we talk about press freedom, and the murder of jamal khashoggi. well done. another secret plan b, the eu putting something together. they have to think about what might happen if it doesn't go through parliament. then the assumption is, unless you can put together some other kind of deal, you are heading
11:40 pm
for no deal brexit and nobody wants that. it's called contingency. it's quite sensible. you never know what might happen in here. the independent, paris burns in fuel riots. it's a bit of a relief, though it is rather serious. extraordinary scenes, sad ones. 130 arrests across france, 42 in paris. 136 thousand protesters across france. in paris, the police, as they were tried to stop these protesters get to the palace, away from the park to tree on. the official residence of the president.
11:41 pm
—— arc de triomphe. there were plastic balls used against protesters. these angry protesters across france,, protesters. these angry protesters across france, , called protesters. these angry protesters across france,, called the yellow jackets, and that's because you have to, by law jackets, and that's because you have to, bylaw in jackets, and that's because you have to, by law in france, drivers have to, by law in france, drivers have to have that in their cars. otherwise you get a nasty little fine from the police. lorry drivers. the french white van man? it includes white van man that it's all kinds of people, its cross party. and they are very angry at the taxes that will put on fuel. diesel but also petrol last year. we had our own fuel protests some years ago. it paralysed quite a bit the country. borisjohnson spent
11:42 pm
paralysed quite a bit the country. boris johnson spent a paralysed quite a bit the country. borisjohnson spent a lot of money on water cannon and then couldn't use it. particularly where protesters singled out the police. he says there is no room for this violence in the republic. he is in no mood to back down, the president. this is a very serious test. a very difficult one. the sunday telegraph, long school reports are burdensome to teachers. i don't know. a lot of pa rents to teachers. i don't know. a lot of parents like to get that report. he preferred to get the name of your child right. you suspect it's been copied and pasted. the only thing i would admit to an air is i went through my school reports, and i
11:43 pm
have to say, i read them all. my mother was doing some clearing out. what is extraordinary, i must admit, there were some things about, certain subjects, which is actually become true. to do with journalism, at cetera. the teachers have spotted at cetera. the teachers have spotted a few things. it says there is limited evidence that the benefits of progress reports. parents want to know, don't they? you want to be in a continuous conversation. what will your school reports like? a continuous conversation. what will your school reports like ?|j a continuous conversation. what will your school reports like? i have no idea, i can't remember a thing about them. where you are in the class,
