pages there. no real consensus of what the front page should be. sajid javid pops up on quite a few of them. including the front page of them. including the front page of the independent. home secretary vows to block for those crossing. tricky line he is walking here. windrush?” noticed line he is walking here. windrush?|i noticed this purely a technical point. it is not clear... he suggested the government would do everything they can to stop migrants crossing the channel. the general international is people, you come here by regular means, that is not supposed to impact the process, so it is yet to be cleared what he means to do about that. what i think it touches on is the concern that when you look at the people coming over the channel, it's been declared
10:47 pm
asa over the channel, it's been declared as a major incident by sajid javid, but there is a concern that there will be more boats and there will be more fatalities on the way over. i think the tone and the language today, i don't think, has worked particularly well. i infamous politicians choose their words carefully. who is he appealing to with this kind of tough rhetoric? certainly a constituency in the tory party which sajid javid may believe wa nt party which sajid javid may believe want this problem to deal dealt pretty firmly. for the home secretary to say, "actually, we don't put up with this," the point he makes is, if you are all fleeing from your homeland and you are looking for safe harbour, why don't
10:48 pm
you make your asylum claim in the first safe country you get to? these people leaving through france, why didn'tl people leaving through france, why didn't i make the there? they may have family there trying to reunite with. i'm afraid other european countries will say, this is not a knee problem and you're not dealing with big numbers. the actual number people make their way from africa, but mainly the middle east we're talking about here, all the way across europe to the uk is ridiculously small compared to the mistake are in the mediterranean. —— compared to, say, the numbers in the mediterranean. i don't there will be much sympathy in brussels. let's go to the daily telegraph, because sajid javid pops up there. the home secretary ask for more vessels at sea questions migrants need for
10:49 pm
asylum. again, the kind of rhetoric that ringing in the navy, being forceful... is this positioning for some run for the leadership in the future? to be honest, with most things these days involving cabinet ministers, you can link it to the tory leadership contest. they be that the cynical way to look at it. there are colleagues to sajid javid you think he has an incentive to seem you think he has an incentive to seem very you think he has an incentive to seem very firm on this issue. the numbers, so far, coming into the channel, we get asylum applications every month. it does pale in comparison to that number. i think there is a feeling in the conservative party that perhaps the reason that he wants to sound so ha rd reason that he wants to sound so hard line on it and get the message out is because he is conscious of how it is looking. and then i also do think that there is the risk that
10:50 pm
you are going to have something go wrong one day soon, and people will asked, "why did you not do something?" it is... i mentioned windrush, henry. and the enormous appalling tragedy that that was for so many people. and ijust wonder, you know, mrjavad must have sort of calculated that me talking tough on immigrants might have blowback as a result of everything that we've been involved with in this government with windrush in all the problems he had any past. one really interesting thing has happened since the brexit vote. and he may have a lot to do with the windrush scandal. attitudes oi'i with the windrush scandal. attitudes on immigration have changed dramatically. people's view of immigration, there no constituencies... they want them to
10:51 pm
welcome migrants. ithink constituencies... they want them to welcome migrants. i think also, constituencies... they want them to welcome migrants. ithink also, this a question... to put the navy there makes the migrants safer. it does not solve the problem. it makes more people want to come across, as it has in the mediterranean. there's a real battle of perception, wanting to appear tough with the reality of how we sort this problem out. sajid javid's first having to do with this problem was to say there was no easy answer couple of days ago. but the navy in, that will be an easy answer! his officials will be saying, in any other kind of year the other stories would be on the front pages but you're going to deal with it. juergen have to do with this. brexit is still there. it is still on the front pages. david davis says, theresa may should the lady brexit deal votes. he reckons the mistaken right up to the very
10:52 pm
last minute and the eu will cave was that he is a poker player! you should be too, mrs may. it's one for brinkmanship. the reason he may not be... maybe she's going to advocacy is are ready to lady brexit but once. many mps. .. is are ready to lady brexit but once. many mps... —— she argued the lady brexit vote once. she's really testing the mp5. there are other things they can do. where theresa may to try to push this book, and there are some who say you cannot really push it past the 21st of january, whether she should try and pushit january, whether she should try and push it to the actual week, think there will be some remain tory mps
10:53 pm
submitting a confidence though or something like that to try and stop it because they would be worried that you're getting very close to a brexit. you would not be able to do other things after it. because right now the problem is, think, there's still a belief that mps can put this down and then they're all very optimistic they vote it down insta ntly optimistic they vote it down instantly get what they want. whether that eea membership, norway or second referendum or no deal, that's incentive. that's an incentive. but spring forward on the brexit debate a little bit. the financial times... the foreign secretaryjeremy financial times... the foreign secretary jeremy hunt financial times... the foreign secretaryjeremy hunt is in the city state in southeast asia. one wonders exactly what it is he would like written to emulate from singapore apart from it being loaded and rich. but he dismissed various other things like... democracy, a few

degrees. it is cold out there. for many of us, since predominantly chilly. there is some sunshine in the forecast but i think sun is the operative word. large amounts of cloud as well, and by night some frost and some thought. remember the mild weather we had at the end of 2018? there was still mild air in the atlantic. but at the moment, it cannot come our way because of this big area of high pressure that has parked itself across the british isles. it stopped bringing in the mild air. it also stops as britney and the atlantic frontal systems. underneath this high, we have trapped a lot of pot. —— we have trapped a lot of pot. —— we have trap a lot of cloud. for eastern and southern scotland, northern england, wales, the midlands, maybe parts of the west country, we're likely to seek some prolonged clear spells allowing us temperatures to drop. it has already become very cold across parts of scotland, as asia mentioned. —— as i mentioned. not as

cold across the far east. more cloudier. maybe just the odd drizzly shower or parts of east anglia in the south of england. generally speaking tomorrow, a dry day. many early fog patches tends to clear. they may take a while to do so. we should see a little bit more in the way of sunshine developing as the day wears on. the cloud tending to break up, not that it will help the damages very much. as we go through thursday night, if indeed we do and the day with less cloud, more clear skies overhead, it is going to turn into a very cold night indeed. if it's uncertain whether you're after, the southeast of europe is for you. some snow in the forecast here, but back home, high—pressure still firmly in charge on friday. there could well be some quite dense patches of freezing fog around first thing and perhaps most likely across the midlands, east wales and the south of england. that fog could be quite slow to clear. otherwise you find a full substance doesn't sunshine, a fairmont of cloud as
