11:30 pm
hello. this is bbc news with carole walker. as we head we'll be taking a look at tomorrow thundery wintry showers. as we head towards the end of next week, the morning's papers in a moment. conveyor belt is notjust heading but first, the headlines: straight towards us but undulating northwards and southward and it in the past hour, it's been confirmed that the baby gives our variable weather pattern. of shamima begum — the teenager who fled london to join the islamic state group — has died. some dry, mild weather and some cold weather as the jet streams meanders andrew hill, the pilot whose plane crashed at the shoreham airshow killing 11 people, is found not southwards and then northwards again. others and downs in the weather. rain at times, strong winds guilty of manslaughter. with some dry interludes and he apologised outside court temperatures pretty valuable. plenty to the victims's families. relatives wept in court as the verdict was returned. in our direction being brought in they said they still want answers. the coming days. it has been a long and complex trial, and we feel that the success of mr hill's defence of cognitive impairment isa of mr hill's defence of cognitive impairment is a worrying precedent and could have far reaching consequences. the prime minister calls on the eu for one last push to get her deal through parliament, saying if it fails, brexit may never happen.
11:31 pm
a headteacher works in the canteen to save her school money. she's one of thousands who've written to parents warning that they're running out of cash. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are anne ashworth, associate editor of the times and benedicte paviot, uk correspondent of france 24. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the daily mail reports that many councils are preparing to raise parking fees dramatically over the next year by charging more for town car parks and increasing the cost of residential permits. the times leads with the shoreham air crash, after the pilot
11:32 pm
andrew hill was cleared of 11 charges of manslaughter. the main picture on the daily telegraph is of shamima begum, who left the uk tojoin is in 2015 and whose baby has died in syria. meanwhile, the main story is brexit—related. the paper claims theresa may's hopes of a last minute brexit breakthrough appear to be doomed after a "total break—down of trust" between london and brussels. the ft weekend says philip hammond has urged eurosceptic conservatives to back theresa may's brexit deal, saying its approval would allow him to release billions of pounds for stretched public services. one direction star liam payne is backing a daily mirror campaign tackling knife crime. he says he was robbed at knifepoint when he was 12. and the guardian takes a look at school funding. it says teachers are doing the work of canteen staff and cleaners, while essential funds are raised by parent donations in what it calls a "funding crisis. "
11:33 pm
so lots of different stories in the morning papers but inevitably, the exit once again and phillip hammond, billions on offerfor exit once again and phillip hammond, billions on offer for backing theresa may. they have tried everything else to try and get the vote through. the prime minister seems to have called on the chancellor now to try and buy at. yes, if people, the waverers and maybe some labour mps backed the deal on tuesday in the meaningful vote. phillip hammond is using some quite interesting rhetoric here, he is talking about the irish backstop of usain bolt, get real, it cannot last for ever and that we should be focusing on the real problems of brexit. he is trying to entirely change people's attitude, he has not got too much time to do it but that is what he is striving for and he is
11:34 pm
saying look, i have got billions here. you can have two spend on your towns, your villages, you're failing schools, and indeed, we do know he has got quite a coffer for the record income tax receipts that came in injanuary. record income tax receipts that came in in january. and of course, the extraordinary thing is that he has actually got his spring statement right in the middle of this absolutely crucial vote, normally it would be a big event in itself. absolutely crucial vote, normally it would be a big event in itselfm would, it is on wednesday. if it is possible, some with a likely, the prime minister was to fail to get her withdrawal agreement implementation bill through on the tuesday, of course it depends on how big that margin would be, if indeed we are in that scenario and she does not get a green lights, yes, it would indeed be a big event and that would indeed be a big event and that would be on the day of the vote, i thinkjust before, if my information
11:35 pm
is correct, the taking the no deal off the table. will that concentrate minds? ithink off the table. will that concentrate minds? i think it is very interesting when he says come on, stop obsessing is the word he says about the backstop. he is very urging the eurosceptics because he says these is not real—world problems. and he is looking into some pretty real—world problems if we crashed out of the eu without a deal, and he is trying to say to people look, you may have your misgivings but please just set them aside and work together. now, we have not had too much of that kind of conversation so far, who knows whether he will succeed? bat spring statement was supposed to be not too much of a big deal, just spending plans and feelings about what growth was like in the economy. it looks as though it is going to be much more the big deal, something odd occasion, and exactly when it is going to happen on tuesday, who
11:36 pm
knows? because there are so many other boats going on. and of course, we have also had intervention from michel barnier, the main negotiator on eu side, making this offer on his twitter feed this evening, which has only been rejected out of hand by the government and everyone else involved. well, we've had a lot going on today. we have had mrs may, she could be nicknamed mrs beach, choosing grimsby, of course who voted i think 70% voted for leave, and then we have had... —— mr speech. i think it was a double clear, it was a plea to urge mps to vote for the deal on tuesday in and it was really also, the other part of the plea was almost not quite shame, but certainly start pointing a fingerand
11:37 pm
shame, but certainly start pointing a finger and putting pressure on the year to make concessions and indeed, i think like otherjournalist, i heard that mrs may it might be making a sudden trip on sunday evening to brussels. —— mrs speech. but it looks like that may well be off since the attorney general, who was expected possibly today to go to brussels, that was cancelled. as a witch, we had the speech, then we started having this trump like battle of tweets, so we had michel barnier tweeting and then we had stephen barclay rejecting that offer out of hand, the daily telegraph headline of this article is theresa may facing the exit humiliation. i think it is also facing a frustration of the eu and one of the soui'ces frustration of the eu and one of the sources quoted here talks about the fa ct sources quoted here talks about the fact that mrs may quote, has never been able to demonstrate a stable majority for any of her decisions, they have to say consistently, the briefings on eu side, it is very
11:38 pm
clearly look, we had a deal, we have deal, then we spent 12 months talking about the backstop and then actually, mrs may is sure the eu leaders and indeed, michel barnier, donald tusk and jean—claude juncker that she could deliver and she has failed to do that so far. they are suspending their disbelief, they are still willing to have talks over the weekend but will they happen? you can never set aside the laxity is's ata can never set aside the laxity is's at a session with northern ireland and this idea that we would be in the customs union forever. —— be brexiteers's. it seems that nothing can sway them from that perception, it is extraordinary. the daily mail, parking charges, something that really does matter to people. £1 billion parking robbery, it says.
11:39 pm
this is a good saturday morning splash, as recorded in the trade. people will be reading this as they getting in the car and going down to the local town centre to park. they already really unhappy about this, councils are going to make an awful lot more money from it, but i wonder if this is a pretty short term policy because our high streets are dying and one of the reasons is because people can't park and they find parking too expensive. i wonder whether this is the way to be in because parking charges are a quick way to raise money fast, but if you have nobody in the high street and the town starts to die, well, i hate to be slightly depressing here that thatis to be slightly depressing here that that is where it leads to. and if you live in hampshire, nottingham, redding, cambridge, brighton and exeter, you are alas, in for big hikes. some would say this is actually good news because it is going to tackle congestion, air pollution, et cetera, but i think
11:40 pm
there is really a case for the high street and everybody does not have, a lot of bus routes have been cuts, so a lot of bus routes have been cuts, so it is all very well telling people to take public transport very often it is not that easy we need to ta ke often it is not that easy we need to take two or three buses. a good talking point, parking stories gets people chatting and really, i wonder sometimes whether they would rather chat about that and more brexit. either way, the hike chat about that and more brexit. eitherway, the hike is chat about that and more brexit. either way, the hike is 230%, out. that is really going to be hitting some cash—strapped families. —— ouch. let's look at the times, which has been looking at a story on the verdict on the pilot who was responsible for the deaths of 11, his plane crashed and 11 people then died out sure. he has been cleared of manslaughter, he said that he must have lost consciousness at some
11:41 pm
stage. —— died at shoreham. must have lost consciousness at some stage. -- died at shoreham. this is one of those things that people do not yet over, it will always be in this pilot's mind. in the minds of the families of the people who died, they will never be able to move on from this. i suppose they hoped that this case will bring closure but he has been cleared and there are the broader issues of the future of such airshows, because the reason why he was cleared, it seems to be the central factor was cleared, it seems to be the centralfactor in his was cleared, it seems to be the central factor in his defence was that he had cognitive impairment as a result of executing these loops, these stunts, as part of the airshow. now, if that is what happens and i have never done that, ido happens and i have never done that, i do not think i would ever be able to bea i do not think i would ever be able to be a pilot, is that not raising a massive question to whether anybody should do this kind of things? that is the question that some of the families have been raising. yes, and i think it is interesting that the
11:42 pm
times points out that these families have behaved in a very dignified way, but that clearly, this is, they feel wronged some of them, although he has been cleared. so one of them, the mother of the youngest crash victim, daniele polito, 22 years old, she says she feels let down by the justice system, let down by someone the justice system, let down by someone she feels has clearly made someone she feels has clearly made some very bad errors ofjudgement has been allowed to walk free. so clearly they have some trouble and the anguish and they hope that it would be a different result today, of course for them it is not a good result. the guardian looking out school cuts. again, we have been hearing lots of stories today of teachers who are doing the cleaning, serving kids in the canteen as schools struggle to make ends meet.
11:43 pm
one can barely believe this, that we have got teachers who want to be doing a really greatjob of teaching, doing work in the canteen, scrubbing the lavatories, aching for funds for school supplies, the paper and book, and at the same time the government tells us that it is putting more money into education and that schools have more funding than before. i think the average person reading this would be entirely flummoxed by that and i also think that the average person likes to see their taxes spent on decent education because that is an investment in society. anne twomey, when i read this, i think is this what is happening in our schools? we are reading about being excluded. if you have as many problems as these people seem to be having, just basically keeping the school running, wouldn't you be slightly tempted to exclude pupils who then,
11:44 pm
what happens to them? are they properly taught? are they attracted ata properly taught? are they attracted at a young age in the crime? i think this is one of these big talking point stories. and of course, the government is saying that it is putting record sums into education, that schools are getting more money than ever before. clearly something has gone wrong. the investigation has been carried out in england. one of the things thatis out in england. one of the things that is also increasingly worrying, apparently it seems special educational needs are the hardest hit by these cards and head teachers struggling to find the additional support so they are resorting to all kinds of things, whether it is teachers being cleaners, on cleaning duties, because cleaning staff have been cut and some setting up a wish
11:45 pm
list is, crowdfunding, so that parents can buy basics. this is not for expensive tech, this is what exercise books and the kind of things you need and we need teachers devoted to great teaching. philip hammond needs to say something about education because people will wonder, if there is my money, if this is a good place to spend it. there will also be more pressure for police spending. a difficult financial statement for the chancellor with a lot of pressure to find money and a pledge that austerity is over. indeed. he is tying it to the fact that that withdrawal agreement needs to go through in order to unburden himself
11:46 pm
off a lot of money. would he not have to also have emergency funding if we crash with a no deal. that is oi'i if we crash with a no deal. that is on the cards and there will have to be announcements. i think it will be onjuicy week. be announcements. i think it will be on juicy week. there is some good news from the european union which is that our tonic is safe and after many late nights and votes next week, who knows, one might need something with the tonic.|j week, who knows, one might need something with the tonic. i have to say i have grown quite partial to a gin and tonic. if anyone wants to bring me some outside parliament... lam bring me some outside parliament... iamjust kidding. bring me some outside parliament...
11:47 pm
i am just kidding. after a 40 lobbying campaign to persuade russells that it is a traditional product because one of the wrangles over this isn't that tonic implies a health benefit. —— brussels. over this isn't that tonic implies a health benefit. —— brusselslj over this isn't that tonic implies a health benefit. -- brussels. i am getting on! love —— laughter. health benefit. -- brussels. i am getting on! love -- laughter. keep calm and carry on, it will still beat called tonic. if you want to add beat called tonic. if you want to adeim tuitt very beat called tonic. if you want to add jim tuitt very well. beat called tonic. if you want to add jim tuitt very well. it reminds you of all those reasons why people dislike the eu because there are all these wrangles over bananas and stuff like that which were mostly met but this is a reason why people wa nted met but this is a reason why people wanted out. champagne comes from the champagne region, don't try telling
11:48 pm
me that champagne is anywhere or else. that is one of the things that thanks to the eu that name was. i in favour of sometimes in favour of decisions frequently made by the eu. but many people see the structure of the eu as a petty bureaucracy and they want to be free. but breaking up they want to be free. but breaking up is so hard to do. the french minister who was in london yesterday and giving a few interviews, acknowledged that it is very much a lesson and lessons to be learnt from the fact that the uk and its people have chosen to leave and that the eu has to learn its lessons. champagne only from champagne, you are determined. let's end with one of
11:49 pm
the pictures, it is international women's day and this picture of the met police chief out with some of her officers. wonderful to see her there. i was listening to her on desert island the other day. astonishing to discover that 100 years on astonishing to discover that 100 years on in this procession, only a quarter of the officers in the services and think that number definitely needs to go up. services and think that number definitely needs to go uplj services and think that number definitely needs to go up. i am surprised it is that many. would you have imagined that the police force was 50—50 ? have imagined that the police force was 50-50? but this is one of these... perhaps this is one of these... perhaps this is one of these organisations which are now that it has a woman as the most powerful chief constable in the land that things can begin to change. having the opportunity to have some
11:50 pm
pretty good briefings from the foreign press, british ministers need to talk to the foreign press. we hear a lot about global britain andi we hear a lot about global britain and i think that ministers, brexit secretary, the prime minister the foreign press association has a standing invitation and they can save themselves a lot of air miles by talking to us and getting their message out. thank you very much indeed. iam message out. thank you very much indeed. i am sure they heard your invitation. 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. thank you anne ashworth, associate editor of the times, and benedicte paviot, uk correspondent of france 24.
