hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with us, parliamentary journalist tony grew and entertainment journalist and broadcaster, caroline frost. there is a bid for everybody in this review come i think you'll find. the mirror leads on the british teenager who says she had "a good time" with the islamic state group in syria, but now wants to come home with her newborn baby. the same story makes the front page of the sun, which says shamima begum is begging the public to show her sympathy. the times reports on another girl who was stopped from becoming a jihadist bride, but who was never prosecuted — despite police finding terror plans. the daily mail carries an investigation which, it claims, reveals that a top online gambling firm gives losers cash so they can carry on spending.

11:33 pm
a conversation with her nose her mind. there are a lot of... a lot of people in the country will have, why is she begging for sympathy, she has clearly created huge media circus around herself and there are many elements people find compelling. she has just had elements people find compelling. she hasjust had a elements people find compelling. she has just had a baby. elements people find compelling. she hasjust had a baby. she elements people find compelling. she has just had a baby. she was only 15, was recruited online to miranda way to syria. she has lost two children in the caliphate... way to syria. she has lost two children in the caliphate. .. some people even take issue with that and say, do we know for sure? people aren't very trusting. this is obviously a lot more convoluted than the headline would lead you to believe, although i do think the fa ct believe, although i do think the fact she's asked for sympathy and the way she has approached this just reminds me every time i see it that she is a teenage girl. now the whole caliphate is collapsed but i want to come home. you should
11:34 pm
feel sympathy for me. i suspect she will be allowed back in the uk. at the moment, is it a matter of opinion or rule of law? no, it's rule of law. what the son have done is tap into the emotional knee jerk reaction of the majority of people, and this is why we have to have international law. otherwise we would have all sorts of things that are on would have all sorts of things that are on ethically —— not ethically above the past. i imagine people around the nation in pubs are saying, you've got be kidding. all these things. these are very understandable reactions to what is a highly volatile situation. as tony said to him is a very complicated thing. it's all about what kind of country we want to be, compared with where she is come from. it may stick and are crossed but we have to think of what is both ethical. there is a
11:35 pm
brand—new of what is both ethical. there is a brand— new newborn baby, of what is both ethical. there is a brand—new newborn baby, a young girl. and on the practical level, we have to be as humane as possible to ensure we do not see a repeat of this and radicalise more and more people. the times. police who found isis bride found to have this girl was only 15. now we are hearing... what this story has done is open the doorto what this story has done is open the door to the debate of what we do with all the people we can expect to be returning from, a soon to be, we are hearing, concord isis. they have got long lists. they are calling it a feeling by scotland yard because what they have said at the times, a fifth girl was hauled off and anothergirl on fifth girl was hauled off and another girl on the plane managed to stay on the plane undetected and got as faras stay on the plane undetected and got
11:36 pm
as far as syria, even though they did haul one off. but what they've uncovered as well as a stash of incredibly threatening material. things like videos, a target perhaps linked to the royal family. these are all things to send shivers down out are all things to send shivers down our spines, but are all things to send shivers down ourspines, but i'm are all things to send shivers down our spines, but i'm just perhaps naive but i like to think there is a reason this is tucked away for now. i'm hoping the security services have got their reasons. she is a minor. is that why? it might be. we don't know. what the times is strongly implying is, in part, the reason the cps did not press charges and because of the sheer volume of material, the sheer number of digital devices she was carrying and the fact that, i can only go with what she reported —— they report. and also, how much of this can be gathered from the internet. obviously it says video was recovered, a target linked to the
11:37 pm
royalfamily, beheadings, recovered, a target linked to the royal family, beheadings, cybercrime and murders, but the fact of this material is available on the internet is as much the concern to the internet service providers as the internet service providers as the security services. this must be so scary the security services. this must be so scary if your appearance. —— if you are a parent. the state has to protect children of all backgrounds, and if you're a muslim parents, if your kids being targeted like this. the guardian. curbing facebook‘s digital gangsters at. yes, we are not holding back. the committee have been investigated for 18 months, this whole area of fake news, whether the social media giants are not taking responsibility for it. they are also calling for new powers. they were explicitly saying that our electoral law, as it
11:38 pm
stands, is unfit for purpose and vulnerable for interference by hostile foreign actors. one of the reasons why the mp5 have been so... they have really used this language, which is unusual for a select committee report to be that rude, basically, is because facebook has given them the runaround. they have been misleading their evidence to committee and so they are firing back at them with both barrels. committee and so they are firing back at them with both barrelsm america, though, when mark zuckerberg appeared before politicians in congress, politicians seemed woefully ill—equipped to actually asking the right questions at various times. you almost need somebody of his skill in the interrogation box. this morning, i think our culture secretary was asked, will you be seeing mark zuckerberg this week in the us when you fly tomorrow? he didn't have an answer. he said can i hope to. it's
11:39 pm
up answer. he said can i hope to. it's up to them. that's a very, a soft pedal... sorry to interrupt. but it's the contemptuous way these social media companies treat national governments. it's up to... the government is on the... let's go to the ft. if what you want is to strike at a trade deal and you want to do it quickly, you really don't to do it quickly, you really don't to upset the people you're talking to. this is on the back of fairies la st to. this is on the back of fairies last week? perhaps they cannot catch a break. on the other hand, you're being told it's a brand—new world, a bright new world for us compost march, and of march, 29th? the accusation here is britain has been
11:40 pm

film and the famous song. on paper, this looks like anotherjukebox theatre. certain rights —— sir tim rice is one of those lamenting there is not new show. we have to make an exception because it is the queen, dolly parton, exception because it is the queen, dolly pa rton, and exception because it is the queen, dolly parton, and it is a contemporary, topically relevant story to our age. it's a post #metoo musical based on an empowering pre—#metoo film. musical based on an empowering pre-#metoo film. unfortunately, it remains a fantasy. the big boss comes in and says, why don't we run all her business is like this? this fa ntasy of all her business is like this? this fantasy of the early 1980s still is not a reality for women in the workplace. there is so not a provision for child care... i think it's really nice but i'm not sure the musical is quite going to deliver the goods in terms of what
