steven swinford, who's the deputy political editor of the daily telegraph, and the guardian columnist, dawn foster. that's coming up just after the headlines at 11:30. now it's time for the weather with stav da naos. to focus on service and value for our customers. hello there. it was bound to happen at some point this winter. we have had a lot of cold air around the uk with some of the coldest nights of the winter so far. we just needed significant moisture input, that came about low pressure which moved in off the atlantic and brought central and southern parts quite a bit of disruptive snow through thursday. the area of low pressure will pull southwards. it will leave in its wake some sleet and snow showers for southern areas. and after the snow of yesterday, it looks like there will be an ice at risk through this morning, so some travel disruption is likely for friday morning. also, ice for northern and eastern parts of the

country, as we see showers moving down of the north sea. sleet and hill snow on the south—east will peter out as low pressure moves away. wintry showers continue to affect eastern areas, drifting further inland. despite the sunshine further inland. despite the sunshine further west, it will be a cold day for all. as we head into friday night, wintry showers continue, some heavy for northern and eastern scotla nd heavy for northern and eastern scotland with significant accumulations over the high ground. there will be wintry showers along the eastern side, some pushing further inland. but another cold nights to come, so ice will be a problem to start the weekend. wintry showers continue across northern and eastern parts of the country through saturday, tending to become a bit lighter i think across eastern coastal counties of england. we will have a few dotted around some western coast. aside from that, many places will be dry with plenty of winter sunshine. it will be quite cold in the northerly winds. the fine weather attributed to this high pressure which will have an influence on our shores for much of

sunday. this next weather system will push in off the atlantic. this will push in off the atlantic. this will bring more cloud, breeze, rain into northern ireland. then it pushes into much of western britain in scotland. it is likely to cause headaches with snow falling over the high ground. the pennines and the high ground. the pennines and the high ground. the pennines and the high ground of scotland. further south it will be mainly rain and a good deal of sunshine. as we head into monday, this area of low pressure m oves into monday, this area of low pressure moves in off the atlantic. a deeper feature pressure moves in off the atlantic. a deeperfeature which pressure moves in off the atlantic. a deeper feature which could bring gales in fact across some exposed coasts in the north and west. a band of heavy rain which will move through. there will be transient snow over the hills of scotland. further south it should be mainly rain, followed by sunshine and blustery showers. temperatures may bea blustery showers. temperatures may be a degree or so up across southern areas. as we head on into tuesday, high pressure built in, so will be another a chilly start, might wince,

but on the plus side, thanks to high pressure, it should be a largely dry day with plenty of sunshine around. the winds will be lighter. starting to pick up before this other weather system. we could make 10 degrees in the south—east. things looking at touch milder. through next week it looks like the atlantic will be coming to life, like i showed you, a series of weather systems moving in, bringing slightly milder or less cold incursions of air at times but it will still be on the cool side, temperatures perhaps just a little below the seasonal average, apart from the mild incursions. so netsuite is looking quite unsettled, a little less cold at times —— next week. spells of wind and rain, thanks to the areas of low pressure. the rain will be snow across northern hills. cold air is never too far away, so stay tuned to the forecast. hello. this is bbc news. i'm carol walker. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: a severe weather warning is in place as snow causes travel chaos in southern england and wales.

over 100 drivers are stuck on one road in cornwall. there's been a big increase in the number of young people contacting a suicide prevention helpline after the case of molly russell, a 14—year—old who took her own life a year ago. the number of rough sleepers in england has fallen for the first time in nearly a decade. foreign secretaryjeremy hunt says brexit could be delayed if enough progress isn't made in the coming weeks to break the impasse. and two male students at warwick university are to be allowed back to study next year despite threatening to rape fellow students. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the deputy political

editor of the daily telegraph, steven swinford, and the guardian columnist, dawn foster. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the i reports backbenchers in the labour party face a dilemma after theresa may promises cash investments for leave constituencies if more opposition mps support her brexit plan. the daily mail says some mps are unhappy following the news that their half—term recess is to be cancelled to help push through brexit—related legislation. the guardian reports one in three businesses are considering either moving some of their operations abroad, or have done so already, to cope with a hard brexit. the metro claims lives are being put at risk because of back log a cervical cancer screening results, which are waiting to be tested. the daily express highlights research that suggests thousand of deaths could be prevented if more elderly patients were prescribed statins.

the telegraph says the church of england is calling for social media companies to be given multi—million—pound fines if they don't take down content which is harmful to children. the sun leads with a contraceptive gel for men that they rub in their arms, which could prevent their partners getting pregnant. the daily mirror reports that amazon paid less tax in the uk over 20 years than marks and spencers paid injust one. a variety of stories making the front pages, with many of tomorrows papers showing pictures of the snow. the big banner headline in the daily mail, what a time to slope off. it seems the commons authority is trying to cancel the half term recess, but some mps unhappy about their skiing holidays. it seems very

strange that several mps went ahead to book holidays. we all expected this recess was going to be cancelled. brexit is in disarray. it has been for ages. and a couple of weeks for the article 50 deadline, mps some of them seemingly said they would still go away regardless. they have asked to be refunded and obviously because of the expenses scandal they have said no to them. it would have been a scandal if they had said yes. absolutely and the chief whip has said if they have booked holidays, they can go on them but whether or not constituents agree with that remains to be seen. the government seems caught between wanting to show that they are doing everything possible to try and get the legislation through, to get brexit happening on time, but not wanting to annoying mps by telling them they can't go on holiday. exactly and it will get much worse for them. when exactly and it will get much worse forthem. whenl exactly and it will get much worse for them. when i talk to people in government they are telling me that

the time to get the statutory instruments through, the regulations for a deal or no—deal brexit, is fa st for a deal or no—deal brexit, is fast running out and is notjust holidays, they say we will have to cancel weekends, possibly even late evenings, and some have also raised the possibility of night sittings with me. if these mps are feeling put upon now it is going to get a lot more work for them as we get closer to brexit. any of those mps who do accept the suggestion that if they really want to they can go, let's hope they are not swanning on a caribbean beach, because someone is going to tweak a photo and they will be in trouble. absolutely. maybe the chief whip has looked at who has their holidays booked and worked out it might be helpful for certain troublemakers to be off skiing, but as the daily mail has said, the weather will be terrible. if they really want to ski they can do that after work. and the mood of

mps already it is incredibly ferocious, now we are seeing the story in the i that labour faces new to me over brexit bribes with those mps who have gone into talks with the prime minister who seems to be offering dollops of cash, presumably ina hope offering dollops of cash, presumably in a hope to try to get them on site, but that's not going down too well with others in the labour party. it is not going down too well, seven labour mps broke the wit and voted with the government to get theresa may's deal through, so that a breakdown in party discipline but that's happening across the piece at the moment. they say we did this because we are eurosceptics and in some cases because they don't want i'io some cases because they don't want no deal and they think this is the only show in town effectively. but at the same time they are now facing extraordinary angry staff, real vitriol from mps were doing that, and suggestions they are accepting bribes which they deny and it got

very bitter. david lambie was calling them powers and facilitators and history will be brutal, questioning their project —— credentials are socialist, very nasty stuff. difficult for labour mps who are getting an offer from the government for some extra money in constituencies where maybe there isa in constituencies where maybe there is a desperate need for some investment to know what to do. yes, absolutely, a lot of mps have been trying to weigh it up and work out whether or not it's worth it. i think the big issue is basically if theresa may does do this, kind of comes back on what she's been saying and what philip hammond has been saying, george osborne came before them, that austerity was necessary, that these areas can do more with less, so you know there is the economic kind of discord. i think that the majority of labour mps will think that a short—term bun is not worth the party or worth it for

their constituents. we have had lots of warning is going on about what could happen if there is no deal, if there is a hard brexit, and the guardian here suggesting that one in three firms are planning to move abroad, at least some or part of. so lots of firms are said to be considering leaving, but at the moment there is relatively little evidence, there is bits of it here and there, but little evidence of it happening. firms have to do very serious decisions. they have to decide if there is a no—deal brexit what it will look like and it depends who you speak to in the cabinet as to what people feel about it. greg clark, the business secretary, philip hammond, the chancellor, they are really worried about this, they are bending over backwards. we printed a conference call philip hammond had in full with business leaders and he was very clearly and very carefully listening to their concerns and trying to assure them that we were not going to be going over a cliff. he is very

worried. you talk to others and they say no deal is nothing to be fearful of and we could have managed no deal. so it completely divides the cabinet and it divides wider politics in general. but a lot of businesses have been vocal in warning about the difficulties they are going to face. yes, the guardian story says the institute directors have looked into it and said that one in ten companies already set up operations offshore. and we are not even at march 29 yet. we are looking at even more people, one in three companies say they are looking at moving part or all of their business abroad. and it's really going to u nsettle abroad. and it's really going to unsettle the government because obviously if we have this idea that we will have a brave new economy after brexit, you will still need some companies to help that. it's understandable that a lot of these companies watching with complete uncertainty, government in disarray, will look to the eu and see a safe area to trade in. and in the

meantime, back to your story, stephen, in the daily telegraph, the front page, sajid javid, the home secretary, the latest senior minister to admit that brexit could be delayed, despite the fact that theresa may spent weeks and months suggesting theresa may will leave on march 29. what we are seeing is picked rolling. it has been categorically are leaving on march 29. when the prime minister was asked about extending article 50 she dodged the question which raised suspicions inevitably. now we are getting minister after minister coming out and saying publicly late jeremy hunt this morning, andrea leadsom on friday, david gauke on the brexit podcast tomorrow, so people are coming out saying that we might mean more time here and that we shouldn't throw away a deal and crash into no dealjust for the sake of it. if we have a deal in the final stages, it might be weeks, but we should be talking about that. and

what was once to boot, totally unspoken, people now are speaking about it openly. even though earlier this week ministers were arguing very strongly in the commons, weeping conservative mps not to support labour moves to delay brexit. absolutely, you have the coup that amendment which would have delayed brexit by nine months and extended article 50, and i think what we are seeing now is the past few weeks and months and years we have constantly seen ministers treating brexit as if it is some kind of perverse card game. you can't show your hand, you can't talk about what you really think. you have to constantly keep a in and try to get a deal behind the scenes. but i think now as we get closer to the day we see more ministers coming out saying you know, what we all realise, we don't have enough time, we need more time. it is notjust think the ts and crossing the is and vice—versa, a lot has to be done, we

have to wake up and i think we are moving there now. it might not be that straightforward. you can only move brexit if it gets parliament and eu approval. eu 27 have to unanimously agree. the next european council is on march 20th so if we want to extend article 50 we will need an extraordinary meeting of that european council so all the leaders can agree to it. it might happen very quickly but that is also the next time they have scheduled to see what theresa may has on the table. she has not been back to brussels and things will have to move quickly next week if she is to come back to mps next week if she is to come back to mp5 on next week if she is to come back to mps ona next week if she is to come back to mp5 on a deal that they can vote and possibly pass through parliament. mp5 on a deal that they can vote and possibly pass through parliamentm the telegraph, warnings from different businesses but mcnamara

scream. . . different businesses but mcnamara scream... we may have some problems with fresh fruit and vegetables but we could be all right for magnum! they have gone in and make sure that when we are up to our necks in snow we will have enough ice cream. more and more companies stockpiling, both exports and imports. it is protect and survive bribe. no—one knows what is happening. they are stockpiling because everybody is panicking. another worry that it remains to be seen whether or not the nhs do have everything in place even though hancock assures us he does. let's move on from brexited. lots of other

stories and the mirror — is on has paid stories and the mirror — is on has pa id less stories and the mirror — is on has paid less tax than some have paid in just one. the numbers are quite mind—boggling. £7 billion of revenues in the uk over the last 20 years and it has paid £62 million over that period. albeit through legitimate tax practices, the hundred £30 million of profit. marks & spencer '5 paying huge amount of tax and the upkeep of main street. this gets to the very soul of high street. do you want shops to be there or d1 to be a nation sitting

at home. ——do you want to be. the ghosts of high street which is in no—one's ghosts of high street which is in no—one '5 interest. ghosts of high street which is in no-one 's interest. emma is on in cysts they pay all the tax. the government have not managed to actually look at how we can make things that fairer. you can be creative with accounting and for hammers on it is less about making as much profit as possible but expanding. —— amazon on. a lot of people need high streets. i am incredibly old—fashioned people need high streets. i am incredibly old —fashioned and people need high streets. i am incredibly old—fashioned and rarely shop on line but a lot of people who do rely on shops being there, people who are poor and cannot afford computers etc, not everybody can afford to do on line shopping and a

lot of people do need to go to shops and try things out and get better deals so it is not for everybody and also the number of jobs deals so it is not for everybody and also the number ofjobs in retail. it isa also the number ofjobs in retail. it is a lot higher than the robotics in amazon on. . a story on the front page of the guardian, teachers are defying court acts lgbt classes. teacher in birmingham, as part of the school curriculum, put on a number of lessons for children, primary school aged children, about lg bt primary school aged children, about lgbt relationships. nothing particularly detailed but there is a story about two kings in a relationship et cetera. it is not a

religious school but heavily muslim. and around 100 parents have complained. some children have been taken out of the school. the assistant head teacher has stood up for the teacher who has put these lessons on because it is good for the children. one of the big issues is there is no firm legislation about what we have to teach children about what we have to teach children about sex relations. these teachers clearly think tolerance is important and that young children should learn that, no matter who they feel affection and love and sexual attraction to, they should not feel ashamed of it. if the legislation is not there, this is what happens. lot of the papers have amazing pictures of the snow. revenge of the snowfla kes,

pictures of the snow. revenge of the snowflakes, from the start. 0ne wonders if it was written by a millennial! if you live in the south—west, extraordinary levels of erow. south—west, extraordinary levels of snow. the m30 completelyjammed. but also lots of parts of the uk excited to be getting snow. my 19 month old daughter has never seen snow so if there is a snow, we will be out and about. two sides to it. enjoy your day in this note. and also thank you to you, dawn. 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 seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers, and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this
