11:30 pm
to pursue those who resorted to violence during anti—government protests on saturday. a warning that the world is at a crossroads at a crucial climate change conference in poland. and the ukip leader, gerard batten, survives a vote of no confidence at the party's national executive committee. he's been strongly criticised for appointing the far—right activist, tommy robinson, to an advisory role. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are james rampton, features writer at the independent, and the broadcaster lynn faulds wood. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. anarchy on the streets of paris and in the corridors of westminster — below an image of unrest early
11:31 pm
on the champs elysee, the metro leads on labour's plans to topple the prime minister if her brexit deal flops. those problems for theresa may continue in the times which says the dup is threatening to abandon support for the prime minister in a potential vote of no confidence. growing calls from remainer mps to stage a second brexit referendum have been attacked as a ‘gross betrayal of democracy‘ — that's in the daily express. the daily telegraph reports that the prime minister's chief brexit adviser has said the backstop is ‘bad for britain‘ and has warned her of the consequences. it's parliament versus downing street on the front of the i — which says there's a constitutional crisis looming as theresa may refuses to show brexit legal advice to mps. an exclusive in the guardian, which says it's
11:32 pm
uncovered the stark truth about racism in britain (daily mail) the daily mail leads with the headline: ‘you've done us proud britain‘ after its readers volunteer hundreds of thousands of hours of service to the nhs. and he‘s out of the jungle — noel edmonds is on the front of the daily mirror despite being voted out of ‘i‘m a celebrity get me out of here‘. start when printed. parliament versus downing street. this is an intriguing story. it will unfold over the next five days. i hear you wear when shock and horror at the prospect. a hue took about this battle unfolding over the prime minister ‘s deal. the big story today which the papers are carrying tomorrow, the attorney general, has a p pa re ntly tomorrow, the attorney general, has apparently warned people privately that it could be trapped indefinitely. obviously both brexit
11:33 pm
yea rs indefinitely. obviously both brexit years and remain as are horrified by the prospect. the interesting thing is, the government has been mandated by parliament to reveal this full legal advice, suggesting they have something to hide. labour won a motion on it last month and are still refusing to hand it over. they could be held in contempt. whatever that means. the words have just disappeared. the dup. that lot. democratic unionist party. i believe they have £1 billion for northern ireland if they voted with the government on things like budget. they are going to vote against them oi'i they are going to vote against them on this one. it is spoiling to be a really difficult vote on december the 11th or theresa may and for
11:34 pm
those who are supporting her. there appears to be some semblance of legal advice, just not the full amount. the suggestion is the speaker may try and force the government to reveal the full legal advice. they have got a motion through the house to mandate the government to do that. this is looming to be a constitutional crisis if the government refuses to adhere to parliament‘s orders. this final bullet point, loss of faith in politicians could lead to civil unrest. i think that‘s fascinating. the whole tenor of this debate has become toxic. look what is happening in france. in this case, sadly, violent fury. the sense they are
11:35 pm
being ignored by the establishment. in paris, but also in this country. in paris, but also in this country. in my view, brexit is an expression of that. you often get client confidentiality between lawyers but this is the most important change in 50 years to happen in britain. i'm not at all surprised that mps will reveal what is being said. being trapped indefinitely. private advices, the attorney general. has that been talked about already? if you extend the transition period, you extend the transition period, you remain the customs union until that mechanism exists to avoid that. quite rightly in my view. that would be ridiculous. if we are forming an agreement, it should be an agreement
11:36 pm
both sides sign up to. we are used to having so many vetoes. and sadly, once you leave the club, you can‘t play by the club‘s rules and you can‘t dictate to the club what the rules should be and people who voted leave should realise that. goodness me. apparently, according to michael gove, remainers are thick. lots of accusations flying around. it's going to be a very tricky week. there has been such a realignment. there has been such a realignment. the political support. different people. some labour supporters think the conservatives better meet their political needs and vice—versa. the conservatives better meet their political needs and vice-versa. it's very confusing. what saddens and depresses me is the way it appears to have created the idea that we are
11:37 pm
an international laughing stock. i went on a trip with some italian journalists and they said, what on earth is your country doing? italians. there we go. i tell you the worst thing they said to me. this is worse than anything that berlusconi did. what about the bunga bunga parties. she has only run through fields of wheat, not bunga bunga parties. we are making ourselves and international laughing stock with cataclysmic chaos. the daily telegraph has a similar headline. this is a letter that has been linked by concerned ministers. he said the latter to theresa may predicting a bad outcome from this. and that we‘re going to have checks
11:38 pm
so and that we‘re going to have checks so all this stuff about northern ireland being the same as the rest of britain. the middle of the sea that divides us from them. that doesn‘t sound very helpful. and the security of cooperation in europe is at risk as well. there are all sorts of things at risk. but this letter that he wrote to theresa may which has been leaked by well—wishers minister, why the heck, i was thinking, did he write that letter but next week, all this is going to come out anyway. it‘s going to be an extraordinary week and i can only think, if at the moment, we are predicting she will lose the vote. eventually, we will all say, we can‘t take any more of this. please, let‘s just signed the paper. can‘t take any more of this. please,
11:39 pm
let'sjust signed the paper. i'm a celebrity get me out of here or i‘m an ordinary person, get me out of here. it isjust an ordinary person, get me out of here. it is just so an ordinary person, get me out of here. it isjust so mind numbingly complex and tedious to a lot of people. i find it complex and tedious to a lot of people. ifind it absolutely compelling, this hell psychodrama. and actually here to talk about it. psychodrama is totally absorbing. the guardian, racism in britain, stark truth uncovered. the stark truth of the shocking, and that word is massively over used in journalism, but it does apply in this case. it is really shocking the way in which black and ethnic minority people are being discriminated against, compared to the way white people are treated. there is one stat i picked out, if you are black, your three times more likely to have been thrown out the clu b likely to have been thrown out the club or denied entrance to a restau ra nt club or denied entrance to a restaurant and a white person. that really does take me back and say, goodness me, we are in 2018 and there is still this huge problem,
11:40 pm
55% of minorities have been mistaken for a 55% of minorities have been mistaken fora an 55% of minorities have been mistaken for a an employee rather than a customer. it makes you think, how much have we actually progressed. these things are happening. i commend the guardian for conducting the survey. that scenario that hasn‘t been explored before. they have launched this poll and come up with some really upsetting statistics. whether we are black or white, we should all sit down and ta ke white, we should all sit down and take a good, hard look. it's about unconscious bias. we don't think we are racist as a country but unconscious bias. 1000 people polled and two thirds of them believe we have a problem with racism in this country, consciously or unconsciously and nearly half the people from the ethnic minority that we re people from the ethnic minority that were questioned, they felt that they had been overlooked for promotion in a manner that was unfair. each time
11:41 pm
to get it to white populations in this country. it's about half of the damage to white people and the ethnic minorities are complaining. this is going to run all week. it's the sort of things that newspapers do very well. we are sitting here talking about it. i'm sure in kitchens up and down the country, people are going wow, this is an interesting and shocking report. evenif interesting and shocking report. even if they are not, they are watching a newspaper review or they are seeing it on line. they will say, goodness me, i‘ve learned something. and we are available on the iplayer. taxman has netflix in its sights. it's incredible. we've already had google who were eventually fined $130 million, even
11:42 pm
though they take billions in britain. these huge american companies, facebook and others, are not paying very much tax at all. the structures allow them to. google is based in dump them. netflix is based in amsterdam where the dutch have got a double dutch light touch tax regime. you probably read the paper already. have a guess. how many people work for netflix in this country, if they take billions? 14 people. good luck to the authorities. it is a lot of profit andi authorities. it is a lot of profit and i do think this whole story plays into the idea that if you‘ve got a lot of money, you continue to make a lot of money by having very good tax lawyers and systems for
11:43 pm
finding the best way of working your way through tax regulations. exactly. you are always going to find the best way. if the question marks over these corporations, is the least launches investigations. that is a much bigger question. i have got a friend who works for a charity. she went to see the health secretary the day. she got the impression that the government couldn‘t think of anything else, education, schools, defence, because all the energy in the room is being sucked out by brexit. i know what that‘s like, insufficient bandwidth. we are talking about the duke and
11:44 pm
duchess of sussex, it‘s a fabrication, is viewed as is rumoured to be happening between kate and meghan. there is a telling point in the daily mail's coverage. i'm of big republicans sol point in the daily mail's coverage. i'm of big republicans so i watch these stories about how the duchesses don't talk to each other, you try and tell me we are out of time. ithink you try and tell me we are out of time. i think it's been pushed up. it isa time. i think it's been pushed up. it is a load of old nonsense but it sells papers. that is 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 james rampton and lynn faulds wood. goodbye. that is it from us tonight. what is
