miles an hour. eight lawyers who back brexit, seven of them mps, set out the concessions they require from the eu to support the pm's brexit deal. the hatch is open — america's new astronaut capsule makes its test flight to the international space station. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are owen bennett, who's head of politics at cityam, and the broadcaster, lynn faulds wood. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily telegraph says it understands the attorney general has abandoned attempts to secure a time—limit and unilateral exit clause for the irish backstop after they were rejected by eu officials. the times also leads on brexit — it says labour is accusing theresa may of bribing its own mps to back her brexit deal with a promise of a £1 billion fund to help struggling towns.

the chancellor will have extra cash to spend on a ‘brexit dividend' after a windfall in tax receipts, that's according to the financial times, which says philip hammond will promise to increase public spending in next week's spring statement if mps back the prime minister's deal. the guardian reports that the membership at ukip has nearly doubled in a year, with many being attracted to what the paper calls the party's ‘anti—islam agenda'. the metro has pictures ofjodie chesney and yousef makki, two seventeen—year—olds, who were stabbed in separate incidents in less than 2a hours. the mail has shocking figures that reveals the number of under sixteen‘s being treated in hospital for knife wounds has nearly doubled in the last five years. and, the express has an interview with the former london met police comissioner, lord hogan howe, who is calling on the government to reverse cuts to police numbers in a bid to tackle knife crime.

let's start with the story of the stabbings which we have been reporting in the last couple of days. the daily mirror, new vic towns, anyone‘s street, anyone‘s child. some of it is gang related but a lot of it is not. a lot of it is but a lot of it is that children feel u nsafe is but a lot of it is that children feel unsafe and carry a knife for their protection. it has moved out of the cities and into the suburbs. the 17—year—old who came to be a surgeon, the 17—year—old who came to be a surgeon, he was killed in hell balms which is one of the nicer areas, a nice leafy suburb. the girl was sitting in a park bench in london with her boyfriend and a friend and some people in balaclavas came and attacked them. is this the tipping

point, rightly or rob lee, that it is young people like this who appear not to be part of any gang culture, they are now getting caught up in this. —— rob lee. maybe this could be the tipping point that makes the authorities act differently? we hope it is. it has been bubbling along for around a year, had these youngsters not been involved in any gang is. the onus is on the home secretary to follow the story a bit more. labour mps have been calling this for a while a national emergency that this was a kind of

terrorism level of death. there would be task force setups but none of that seems to be done so maybe how of that seems to be done so maybe now this will make the government look like they are ahead of this. the daily mail looks at the statistics. children with stamp weren't doubling in five years. night—time robberies, they pull a knife to rob you in the street. you had an attempted mugging this week? yes. the fact they are up 5096, robberies with a knife and there is something here about doctors battling with three children a day brought him with knife injuries and nearly 350 under 16.

brought him with knife injuries and nearly 350 under16. it is incredible. the former cheap of the metropolitan police say put 20,000 police back on the street now. he has written a piece for the daily express. it is an interesting point, there needs to be an upgrade of technology. he says we are relying on technology from the dark ages. we should be using greater facial recognition, behavioural software to find who and where to search. you still need police on the streets, finding the hot spots, seeing where the gangs hang out. the unsung heroes who are good at knowing the heartbeat, the polls of the town will make an area. knowing when someone was

will make an area. knowing when someone was shifting with the wrong kinds of people. i thought they were very good of that. on the neighbourhood watch, i lived in twickenham, and we have had a number of sexual assaults in the area, three knife attacks over the last couple of years and that is just incredible to me. neighbourhood watch, people send me pictures of people found outside their house tried to break in their car, whatever, most do not show you the facial recognition so all of us need to get much better in knowing how to deal with this, not just to get much better in knowing how to deal with this, notjust the police. but this is a deeply social problem. the youth services are not that used to be there, opportunities... people do not feel those opportunities are

there. we still live in an unequal society, not much has changed in a0 yea rs society, not much has changed in a0 years and we need to talk about it. the salaries at the top go up and up and people see that and they get envious or they feel they have no voice and we need to address all that instead of banging on about brexit all the time. there is a problem in this country where we look at diversity quotas are different things but we do not focus enough on class, caste adversity. we need more people at the top, in the media, politics, a range of front facing roles that people from different communities can get there, notjust because of gender and the colour of your skin, but class. if you are born in a certain place in this country, you can never achieve the top of a certain profession. you

mentioned brexit, that is where we are going to go. yes! demand on backstop, the attorney general realising that these tests that might have appealed to the keen brexiteers are not going to fly with the eu 27. a unilateral mechanism, we cannot get it. they want something to supersede but it does not look like it is going to happen either. is this the best brexit we are going to get? if we don't, they could be a delay, a second referendum. this really is the time

we re we are referendum. this really is the time were we are going to see who is going to see first. the times, may accused of bribery with £1 billion to help towns. she is trying to entice certain labour mps. this was a story that came out a few weeks, months ago, i can't remember, time moves on. it seemed to me from that story, and you would know more details than i, a crafty idea of bribing areas which were leave areas, bribing the mps in those areas, bribing the mps in those areas for extra money. the towns that need extra money at there didn't seem to be a fair number that we re didn't seem to be a fair number that were lever touts or and myasthenic? i think you're both right. people like lisa nandi, caroline, even

though they are remains mps, they we re though they are remains mps, they were representing folks who voted to leave. when you break down the money it does not look that much. not only the grand scheme of things. if you really wanted to do something for our towns, you need serious cash, billions, not millions. that will not go far. and tory mps are asking why they are helping labour mps. the key remainers will say leaving the eu will make it more difficult for a lot of these towns. a lot of these towns get european money anyway. but theresa may it needs every vote she can get and if it means chucking

money at mps, she will do that but some will take the money and still reject the deal. i am feeling really cynical tonight. this is yet more bribery. more people have paid their taxes under self—assessment. bribery. more people have paid their taxes under self-assessment. good on them. perhaps we could have an independent audit of this because i not sure i believe it. people are not sure i believe it. people are not spending it like they used to because they worry about rex said. —— brexit. we have instability in society because we have not got a bill yet, we might fall off the cliffs are people are not buying holidays. why would we suddenly be having a lot more money if salaries have not gone up... more people have paid taxes on line. they reckon that

has been a bit of... i think the estimate was quite low but it is not money that we have but it is money that the chancellor has borrowed and set aside in order to provide a safety blanket if there is no—deal brexit so that money if the reason the deal can be used on other things. the people who are campaigning the most for extra money for public services at people like john edward, proper tories. for public services at people like john edward, propertories. i have never heard that. vote money, more public spending, more money for the nhs. this is announced before a really important nhs. this is announced before a really im porta nt vote nhs. this is announced before a really important vote on march 12 and, again, it looks like we are being tried to go to the steel.

theresa may is having all sorts of difficulties with this deal and she's going to string it out until the last moment where we have to accept that or fall off the cliff. surgeon signals shift to the variety. —— a surge. surgeon signals shift to the variety. -- a surge. tommy robinson, who is very far right, he has been welcomed back into the fold. the guy who is currently running ukip, gerard batten, who has said some very unsavoury things including describing islam as a death cult. that is a terrible way to describe a religion that is based on peace. isis is a death cult but he

describes islam as it. a party of wider appeal? you can always have this very right wing strand in it. a lot of the moderates have left the party. whenjeron lot of the moderates have left the party. when jeron batten lot of the moderates have left the party. whenjeron batten took lot of the moderates have left the party. when jeron batten took over, he had a history of things. having this robinson guy in it is no surprise but a lot of people will not realise ukip has gone so far right and they will vote for it and it isa right and they will vote for it and it is a dangerous thing. that's it. we do not have time any more. it flies when you're having fun.|j we do not have time any more. it flies when you're having fun. i wish it was fun. i mean, you're fine but these stories... that could always be seen as a backhanded compliment

laughter. 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 evening, owen bennett, and lynn faulds wood. and from all of us, goodnight. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. what is in your treasure chest this week? we have got fighting with my family, which is a true life story of wrestling. the aftermath, keira knightley in the post—war drama,
