hello. this is bbc news, with shaun ley. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines: the government says nissan will have to re—apply for millions of pounds of taxpayer support, after backtracking on its promise to build a new car model in sunderland. investigators say they've seen a body in the wreckage of a light aircraft, which crashed into the english channel two weeks ago with the footballer, emiliano sala, on—board. the government has announced that if there's no brexit deal, it will allow lorries to drive straight off ferries and channel tunnel trains without full customs checks for at least three months. the uk has formally recognised venezuela's opposition leader, juan guaido, as the country's interim president. mr guaido has appealed to the army to help deliver aid supplies, which he says could save thousands of lives. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow. with me are katy balls, deputy political editor at the spectator, and helen brand, chief executive of the association of certified chartered accountants. welcome to both of you again. we will be with you in just a moment. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. nissan was offered an £80 million brexit sweeter after insisting there would be no cheque—book in the deal. and the actor liam neeson told the independent about regretful contemplating a racist revenge attack. the guardian reports greg clark had to admit the existence of a secret package to nissan which could be worth £80 million if the company went ahead with the plan to

manufacture the model in sunderland. according to the ft theresa may is under pressure to rule out a no—deal brexit after it emerged the government promised nissan in 2016 that it wouldn't be at firstly affected by the departure from the eu. the times reports the top official in europe offered ridge a legal guarantee it would be trapped by the irish backstop but was rebuffed by brexiteer mps. the i says angela merkel has given hope a deal could be reached if britain and the eu are creative and show goodwill. and the mail report social media firms have to sign a code of conduct. and a friend of the duchess of sussex jailed in saudi arabia has been treated so harshly it amounts to torture. there are up to 600 people a day leaving theirjobs to look after ailing relatives. let's

begin with the times, brexiteers reject eu concession on the backstop. yes, there has been a lot of focus on the backstop. this is a twist on the story. one of the top officials in the european union offered some kind of legal guarantee that the backstop wouldn't be indefinite, so there would be some legal way of preventing that. as opposed to warm words. whatever it might be. that seems entirely contrary to everything his collea g u es contrary to everything his colleagues have been saying. he made this offer, which is even stranger, toa group this offer, which is even stranger, to a group of mps from the select committee. which hilary benn chairs. yes, why would that not be made to the prime minister or chief negotiators? a little bit strange. however, if we agree it has been

made, it was then rebuffed a p pa re ntly made, it was then rebuffed apparently by brexiteer members of the committee as inadequate. apparently by brexiteer members of the committee as inadequatem apparently by brexiteer members of the committee as inadequate. it sort of illustrates a really big problem with this, the debate we seem to haveis with this, the debate we seem to have is cross purposes — negotiations are over, europe says, the pm says she is not going back to renegotiate, but with new ideas to talk about. meanwhile at home some people say they are up for something more that would allow them to vote for mrs may's deal but others have said that none of this will be enough, we don't want the backstop period. yes, it is a very confusing picture, there is no other way to put it, and they get very technical. we had a vote last week which wasn't the meaningful vote. it was a vote on various amendments for the proposed racks at plan. and what theresa may was trying to do was say to brussels that there is a majority for a deal in the house if you do this. in the end the amendment that

past was a brexiteer conservative mp saying that the majority of mps would accept the withdrawal agreement if the backstop is replaced with alternative measures. that was seen as a win in relative terms for the government. the problem is what counts as alternative arrangements is seen as different things by different people. this trip is obviously a group ofa people. this trip is obviously a group of a delegation of mps across the brexit divide that have gone to brussels. it isn't a formal offer. there is a slight problem because they were testing out one of brussels big concerns, which is that they will offer a concession and it won't be enough, so it is testing out what kind of concession might get the backing. it does suggest in angela merkel‘s words they are willing to be creative. if you look at mps they were speaking to, andrew jenkins, one of the mps on the panel, wanting one of the hardest brexits in the conservative party,

downing street themselves believe they have 20 brexiteers who won't vote for the deal. it doesn't matter if they get other mps. vote for the deal. it doesn't matter if they get other mpsi vote for the deal. it doesn't matter if they get other mps. i would put angela jenkins in the group of 20 who are likely to vote for it.|j think it is a shame if it is seen as a signal because i don't think it is representative of whether the majority... and in a sense it is pa rt majority... and in a sense it is part of the problem, people sitting in brussels might know the big personalities, borisjohnson in brussels might know the big personalities, boris johnson and in brussels might know the big personalities, borisjohnson and the rest of it, but they don't know the people further down, they don't know how representative they are of the 600 mp5 at how representative they are of the 600 mps at westminster. hilary benn came out of his meeting in brussels to say that the main concern for the european union is if we agree something will it be carried in the house of commons? they are treading very warily and trying to test things on the group of mps wasn't the best idea. i jumped things on the group of mps wasn't the best idea. ijumped the gun a bit because angela merkel‘s olive

branch is on the front of the i. is itan branch is on the front of the i. is it an olive branch? japan has agreed a trade deal with the eu. i think angela merkel is injapan. 0r she has been over the last few days. that is in a sense an illustration of why the eu might not be bothered about what happens in the uk.m of why the eu might not be bothered about what happens in the uk. if you put the nissan situation aside, ultimately there is in general some goodwill, some remaining on both the pa rt of goodwill, some remaining on both the part of the uk and the eu to come up with some kind of deal. there are lots of member states in the eu who don't want and ideal scenario. there are members in the commission who are members in the commission who are more idealistic who don't want to be blamed for no deal. there is also the business interests of countries like germany who think you could move that. i think in general this is good news for theresa may. angela merkel's warm words

suggesting with creativity and goodwill on both sides... i think the problem is from the uk perspective, some would disagree, whenever the eu ask for goodwill and creativity, they feel it is all on the uk side, that the eu isn't moving much, and i thinka the uk side, that the eu isn't moving much, and i think a slight cautionary thing is she suggested that the backstop could be tackled in parallel with negotiations about the future trading relationship. that was the line that barnier had today as well, you could talk about the different backstop, but after 29 march. and if you are going to talk about after mps have voted the legally binding part, that is not going to address it for most. legally binding part, that is not going to address it for mostm doesn't address the problem of enforceability. it is not in the headline but angela merkel said the most important point is the uk has to be specific about what it wants. they have been saying that for two yea rs. they have been saying that for two years. the uk is getting more specific. laughter. it has taken us

a while. brussels doesn't like the answer on the backstop. they would like it if they say we want a permanent customs union. it does raise the question which i haven't heard answered by the prime minister, maybe she'd dismissed it, why are we agreeing to this when she said it is unacceptable? surely it was unacceptable at the time she agreed it. theresa may's many u—turns, snap election, she said it wouldn't get any better than it has, several times, now she says it can. i think that there has been a miscalculation that she could get mps to fall on this and put their concerns aside, particularly the dup, who are helping with the working majority. they thought over time they could win these people over. and when it didn't work, they had to rethink the strategy, so it was a political miscalculation. had to rethink the strategy, so it was a political miscalculationlj think everyone thought this would go to the wire since the beginning, and the way that the european union

negotiates quite often... last minute, you know, when people say there is no deal possible. maybe they should have had a two week period. they would have saved a lot of time and trouble. let's look at the daily mirror, let's leave aside poldark and the tearful kiss goodbye because they are presumably filming the last series of the programme, i can only assume, but the bottom half isa can only assume, but the bottom half is a significant news story, if the figures are correct, that the daily mirror says about the number of people leaving theirjobs to care for elderly relatives. yes, this is off the back of a piece by carers uk which shows a massive increase in the number of people who are having to quit theirjobs to look after loved ones. they can no longer be cared for by social workers or the nhs, and there arejust not cared for by social workers or the nhs, and there are just not the funds in the system to enable that to happen. so there are some very

striking statistics in the story about the numbers of people. i mean, state funding for social care having fallen 27% since 2010. 400,000 fewer people receiving professional care. that is putting people... at the time when the population is ageing. i was struck talking to someone in the west country last year who said that the budget for the social care for grants and helpful people had been exhausted pretty early in the financial year and then they would have to wait until the next financial year because social care is funded by local authorities. 0bviously they receive money from central government but it is not pa rt central government but it is not part of the nhs. although in whitehall is called the department of health and social care, but it is a separate service. yes, that is an area where there are cuts, and you don't see a boost in funding. if you speak to anyone from across the parties, everyone thinks the social

ca re parties, everyone thinks the social care system right now is inadequate. i think there was a knowledge and that it needs massive reform. theresa may did try to come up with something, however it was nicknamed the dementia tax and she lost what was addicted to be a conservative majority. i remember the tories before the 2010 collection, no, 2005 election, when gordon brown was in, so election, when gordon brown was in, so no, it would be 2010 —— election. at that period, they labelled labour's plans as a death tax. and 110w labour's plans as a death tax. and now there is the dementia tax. we have to get past the language if we engage. and we are going to have to pay for it. someone will have to pay for it. the key thing will be joining up nhs and social care to look a list dick lee at what happens because the failings in social care puts pressure on the nhs. and you have this cycle going on at the moment. it is a very difficult one. it does need more funding from somewhere and that is difficult for any government to find. it isjust

such a mass any government to find. it isjust such a mass amount any government to find. it isjust such a mass amount of need that it won't be popular because it needs higher taxes or a different way to get the money and therefore it is tempting that with the dementia and death tax to weaponise it. and what you need is cross—party consensus. i think in the department of health they will have a green paper out hopefully in the new year, this is the new year, but soon, to put forward solutions. there is acknowledgement that the only things they will be able to get through our things that labour and the lib dems will come together wrong. pragmatic argument, never mind philosophical arguments and most people would say, can't you agree? and one interesting point made in here is employers are going to have to start looking at if they are flexible in allowing people to give this care and allowing them to continue to work. we talk a lot about parental leave, this is the other form of care. just when your children have grown up and you stop

needing to head home because they are sick or whatever, now you have to do it for you elderly parents. that is a different thing that employers will have to do. people do it because they choose to do it and good for them. let's move on to the bottom of the telegraph, it is back, the anti—semitism story and labour, seems to be something labour is struggling to move away from. yes, groundhog day for the tories arguing about brexit and labour and anti—semitism. this is back because we have labour mps raising concerns re ce ntly we have labour mps raising concerns recently about whether it is being tackled. and jenny formby the general secretary has said anti—semitism is impossible to stamp out. so has basically said we can try to do things, but we can't do it completely. we heard from jonathan blake, sorry to interrupt, to say it was a stormy meeting at the blp tonight because they passed this unanimous motion on anti—semitism, expressing concerns about how it's

been handled. yeah, ithink yeah, i think there is a lot of anger there yeah, i think there is a lot of angerthere any yeah, i think there is a lot of anger there any had dame margaret hodge coming forward saying that the response coming from the party management is absurd, and i think what it rests on in part is that there is a feeling among some labour mps that the groups, the management areas that look after the levels of suspensions, when people are responsible for allegedly anti—semitic posts is, do not do the punishments that they would like to see. those reports here that people might geta see. those reports here that people might get a warning but then they stay in the party, they are suspended that bonello allowed back in. ithink suspended that bonello allowed back in. i think what margaret hodge would like to say is that weekend that stop and if you are willing to suspend these people, but you are not willing to suspend these people. —— but they are allowed back in. not willing to suspend these people. -- but they are allowed back in. the times, inside the times now, allen,

europe's splits over the fate of the nicolas maduro regime in venezuela. yes, little split. the vast majority of european states have actually backjuan guaido as interim leader until they can be a full and fair election, but italy and greece are still supporting the existing government of nicolas maduro. there isa government of nicolas maduro. there is a bit ofa government of nicolas maduro. there is a bit of a split there, of course russia is very much... they do not meddle in the internal affairs of other countries. exactly, and china as well, more from an economic point of view, saying we will continue to trade with this country. it was interesting to me as well that spain, who traditionally have had very strong links with venezuela, has now said that it no longer recognises president maduro.l has now said that it no longer recognises president maduro. a lot of countries and come out and said

that they do not recognise him, if it continues to be the case, what is going to happen in the coming weeks? are we going to internal voices in the country and? i think one of the interesting things, when you look at the reasons why, for example, italy is refusing to recognise the opposition leader, is they do not like the idea of american intervention. yes. so america going to try and do intervention or is thisjust more to try and do intervention or is this just more words? to try and do intervention or is thisjust more words? and is always complicated by the personality of donald trump, of course. exactly. because he does not necessarily a lwa ys because he does not necessarily always behave in the way he says he is going to behave and also the way that former us presidents have behaved. he is ready said that the military option is one of the options, he has put that out there. and so, i needed is a delicate situation, you just feel like it

needs, the people of venezuela need the chance to speak about the government stop right let's move to the metro, this is... if they have friends that you can find a photograph of them with, it often gets the story. this is a serious story about this woman who may not have heard of but the treatment she has experienced in a saudi prison. yeah, and the metro is linking this woman, as an activist, to meghan markle. they were photographed once in vanityfair. markle. they were photographed once in vanity fair. the bulk of the story or at least the weighty bid is that mps have heard how this woman is being treated in saudi arabia and they think it is similar to torture what is happening there. it is interesting because when we had the crown prince, when we had that happen, there was a lot of pr from the saudi arabian government in a lot of media publications here,

there was a lot of pr at the time that this was a modernising force and actually, things like this and it has been a real pattern recently of women trying to get out and also, we have had the death of the journalist, jamal khashoggi, suggesting that actually the new saudi arabia perhaps is not what people first heralded it as all wa nted people first heralded it as all wanted to stop live mohammad bin salman is mentioned again in relation specifically to this case, which i think, the accusations were of torture that is taking place. —— mohamed darrat someone. —— mohamed bin salman. and he, there's a lot less information about what is going on than before, it does sound like a terrible situation for the women involved. the differences, we are about the difference between men and women, this is a favourite if you go to the times for hull, these stories

a lwa ys to the times for hull, these stories always run in the papers and we waste pick them up on the paper reviews because it is front page, it is the differences between men and women, are there any? well, apparently, yes. men might have larger brains. might have. but women's grey matter is younger, as much as the years younger and apparently it can be seen in the difference in behaviour in the rain, women in their20s, difference in behaviour in the rain, women in their 20s, it can see that this phenomenon is happening. this isa this phenomenon is happening. this is a scientific study from the university of washington school of medicine and it says that it could offer clues as to why women tend to outperform men in cognitive tests in the 70s and 80s and is essentially that that grey matter is staying younger for longer stop what it is interesting because that anxiety about how we will age is probably younger for all of us, about how we will be like in ten or 20 years and there is a gender element in it. --

it is interesting. it is worth pointing out that basically, the timeframe we are looking at here is about the years. i feel like my rain has not got that much worse over the yea rs, has not got that much worse over the years, so maybe it is going to have a more noticeable and sizeable effect as you age in the 70s and 80s, but i still think there is not too much for men to get upset about with this finding. good, one thing we cannot forget is that tomorrow is the youth the pig. there is a lovely photo on the front of the ft, so can i say on behalf both of you, thank you very much. and he went home, thank you very much. happy new year for a few minutes ahead here but already being celebrated in china because it is year of the pig. 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 the bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, katy balls and helen brand. and from all of us,

a very goodnight. good evening, i am holly hamilton and the latest sports news. we start in the english premier league, where the leaders liverpool have been held to a 1—1 draw at west ham, which now leaves the door open for manchester city to go top of the table when they play later in the week. jurgen klopp was disappointed at the end, but was fortunate that sadio mane's opening goal on 22 minutes was allowed to stand when replays showed james milner‘s cross was offside. despite city breathing down their necks, liverpool are still all alone at the top of the gap down to just two points, is the pressure is starting to mount? shaky opening suggested it might, until mane calmly took his moment in front of goal, an opportunity turned out he was lucky to be given. belief liverpool, the pressure easing of

them, their foot clearly off the gas. antonio easily rounding their defence with a move they will have done hundreds of times and training, is just done hundreds of times and training, isjust a done hundreds of times and training, is just a shame done hundreds of times and training, isjust a shame he did not practice the celebration. the key practice for liverpool to learn from, they didn't. declan rise the next man glide to the best defence in the league, it was a let off. west ham we re league, it was a let off. west ham were desperate to take a chance if they could, but they could not convert. 0nce they could, but they could not convert. once again, it was not going to plan. 0nce convert. once again, it was not going to plan. once again, jurgen klopp saw his side zip up in the title race. the nightjust three points, the jaw wide open. the draft for the fifth round of the women's fa cup has taken place in the set for a repeat of lusty‘s final at a much earlier stage of the competition. chelsea will face arsenal on the 17th of february. the blues beat the 14 time winners

arsenal 3—1 in front of a competition record crowd at wembley last season. let's take a look at some of the other fifth round fixtures then, bearing in mind that some of the fourth—round games are still to be played. that is because of freezing weather at the weekend. manchester city have been drawn against second—tier tottenham, while manchester united are here playing for the first time in the competition since they reformed their women's team in 2018. they will host the fellow championship side, london. the sports minister is to have an urgent meeting with football leaders to try and tackle racism and discrimination in the sport. the fa, premier league, football league, players representatives and community groups will be invited to this meeting and it follows incidents of alleged racism and in football over the last few months. in rugby union, domestic

cloud representatives will meet tomorrow to discuss controversial plans to scrap promotion to all relegation from england's top league. it would mean that clubs in the lower legal be unable to join the lower legal be unable to join the top league. have a three-year window, take relegation and promotion out of the equation and after that three—year window, a cloud should play off with a bottom tea m cloud should play off with a bottom team in the premiership to getting there. closing the lid for a couple of years allows us to play more english players, develop more in and that has got to be good for the game. the last ten or 15 years ago, we would not be looking at the premiership and we have built an infrastructure on the basis that one day we may be able to get there and i'm sure there are some teams at the bottom now that are doing exactly the same, i am sure they would be extremely disappointed. —— league. i think the thing that i do not like about it is it is not necessarily being made on the best interest of

the english game, this is based upon 13 shareholders protecting their interest, rather than what is best for english rugby. and that is all your sport, enjoy the rest of your evening. good night. good evening. well, it has been a much milder day out there today but we have had clear skies this evening. a chilly night ahead as we head to the early hours of tuesday morning. we are going to see quite a bit of mist and fog. this was the scene taken earlier in hertfordshire. some frost and filed, it is fairly dense out there and parts of england, into parts of wales as well. do morning, frost and function clearway, there will be some rain that later on in the day. we should keep clear skies across much of the country but there are dense fog patches forming across parts of england, southern wales, also run the vale of york in the western scotland too. you can see the blue collars, that is where we will have the lowest temperatures

tuesday morning. the mist and fog almost first thing, particularly across the south that temperatures will be sub zero for many of us to kick off your tuesday morning. —3 or minus four degrees in the cooler spots. mist minus four degrees in the cooler spots. rr more minus four degrees in the cooler spots. rr mt there than works in the west and there will across will be splashes of rain across northern ireland. late in the day, they will push into parts of northern ireland, wales, the temperature around six to 12 degrees. eventually, that wet weather will move its way eastwards across all of the country to the course of tuesday night. we are expecting a spell of fairly wet and windy weather but once that weather front clears away to the east to the course of wednesday, it will not be too bad a sort of day. initially falling to the south on that weather front, cloudy here, plenty of sunshine with that weather front. just a few showers packing in

towards parts of northern ireland and the west of scotland too. temperatures fairly typical for the time of year, with temperatures perhaps six to 11 degrees or so. late in the afternoon, there will be a return of that wet weather in the south. perhaps more rain late on thursday. things looking unsettled as we had to thursday night into friday. a spell of rain, perhaps even some snow over the high ground too. that sets up for a fairly u nsettled too. that sets up for a fairly unsettled into the week with low pressure in charge, we have showery rain on thursday into friday and although it will stay mild, you will certainly notice the strength of that wind, particularly on friday. i'm rico hizon in singapore, the headlines:

a group of latin american countries and canada call for a change of government in venezuela as its crippled economy teeters on the brink. if you buy just this if you buyjust this much, you have spent a third of the average monthly wage and prices are skyrocketing, they have doubled in a month. search teams confirm they've sighted a body in the wreckage of the plane carrying the missing footballer emiliano sala, and his pilot. i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme: talking trade in uncertain times — angela merkel meets shinzo abe as global economic tensions rise.
