10:31 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me arejohn rentoul, the chief political commentator at the independent, and ruth lea, economic adviser at arbuthnot banking group. we will start with the mail on sunday, which says a nurse which took care of the renowned scientist stephen hawking is the sunday telegraph leads with support for a new deal brexit is currently at 44%. and the sunday times says that cabinet ministers have wa nted times says that cabinet ministers have wanted to do is if she wants to
10:32 pm
pass her brexit deal this week. also with brexit, the sunday express, a call by conservative backbencher jacob rees—mogg, describing the prime minister's deal as rotten. the observer reports a church of england bishop colin sajid javid a moral coward over at the death of shamima begum's three—year—old son. quite a varied set of front pages. let's start our chat with brexit, it will have to be, so we will start with the times. theresa may has to do something to say brexit. do you think she would be willing to quit? ido think she would be willing to quit? i do not know how much truth there is in this at all. to be frank, i do not know how much evidence there is behind this story. if i may say so,
10:33 pm
i think the subtitle, hammond pledges a spending bonanza if mps backed the deal, this is his way of saying, if you back the deal on tuesday, i will be father christmas all over again, and tuesday, i will be father christmas all overagain, andi tuesday, i will be father christmas all overagain, and i will tuesday, i will be father christmas all over again, and i will be £20 billion i might spend on all sorts of goodies if you are good boys and girls and back this deal. of course, we do have the spring statement on wednesday. the irony is that as the day after the vote for the deal, so he will know whether the deal has been voted for are not by wednesday. it is his way of trying to bribe mps, ithink, it is his way of trying to bribe mps, i think, to support the deal. i do not know if he actually has £20 billion, but that is a different question. fascinating time a huge week coming up. and the vote on tuesday will be absolutely pivotal. ido tuesday will be absolutely pivotal. i do not see any evidence that the prime minister can i do not see any evidence that the prime ministercan win i do not see any evidence that the prime minister can win that vote yet. but i do love the journalistic
10:34 pm
device in the sunday times, the prime minister's plane was on standby at raf northop last night. that is brilliant, because that is where the plane is part, so it is always on standby. she might fly to brussels, tomorrow night. technical details, apparently, discussions. something will have to happen on monday before the vote on tuesday. because at the moment, we do not have any progress since the deal was voted down in january. but they have no incentive to make any major concessions because essentially no deal has been taken off the table. if the deal is voted down on tuesday, there will be a vote on a no deal on wednesday, which is almost certain to be voted down, then there will be a vote on the delay the next day, and who knows after that? it really is becoming an awful mess. in the meantime, while all this goes on and the discussions ta ke all this goes on and the discussions take place, the public are quite
10:35 pm
frankly, from this, they have had enough, haven't they? the independent here. yes, we have a poll in the independent tomorrow saying 52% of people do not want to exit delayed by more than six months. i imagine there's quite a lot of people don't want it delayed at all. they actually want to leave on the 29th of march. but if mps do not vote for it on tuesday, then it is very likely to be delayed. and once it is delayed once, i think that could mean we never leave.|j think that is a strong possibility. i notice that is 52%, which is the magic number. i'd forgotten that! these are the absolutely superb excellent people who voted for brexit back in 2016. i think that is right, if the deal and for no deal are both watered down, i think we are both watered down, i think we are in limbo and then if we have a major delay, all sorts of other things start happening, and a definite risk of no brexit. i would be very interested in the next poll you do an independent what people would think if there was no brexit.
10:36 pm
yeah. very interesting how the public would respond. if they thought brexit was never going to happen. if we go to the telegraph, a p pa re ntly happen. if we go to the telegraph, apparently the public are behind no deal. but i also want to pick up in an article you have written, john, where you talk about, if we never leave the eu, this is how it is going to happen and this is who to blame, or to thank. going to happen and this is who to blame, orto thank. i going to happen and this is who to blame, or to thank. i am quite interested to know who are we blaming or possibly thanking? what does your article say in the independent? there are a lot of conservative mps who are not going to vote for the deal. it is fascinating, ruth and i are both relu cta nt fascinating, ruth and i are both reluctant supporters of the prime minister's deal, coming at it from opposite directions. i was a remainer, ruth is a lever. but she accepts that if you want to get out, andl accepts that if you want to get out, and i accept that if you want to
10:37 pm
acce pt and i accept that if you want to accept the result of the referendum, the prime minister's deal is the only game in town. because as ruth said, it doesn't matter how much people say they wanted in the sunday telegraph poll, a no—deal brexit is not going to happen because parliament will not vote for it because mps do not want a no—deal brexit. so the choice is the prime minister's deal, or delay. and once you start delaying, we may never leave. so if that happens, i blame, although other people may thank you, tory mps although other people may thank you, tory mp5 for being purest about brexit and refusing to accept the prime minister's deal is a sensible compromise. i also blame labour mps for not respecting the result of the referendum, which they said they would. i think it would be the final irony if the labour mps are the ones who scupper brexit. —— if it is the brexiteer mps who scupper brexit. we need to get out and move on, that is
10:38 pm
my attitude. i support a no deal, but i accept the fact it is of the table, so in other words, just get on with it. why do you support no deal? because i think the deal is appalling, we are paying £39 billion for nothing, no promise of... never mind the horrors of the backstop. to cut it short, i don't like it! the hyperbole about how terrible the prime minister's dealers, i find and compensable. it is a sensible alternative, it takes is out of the eu that keeps us in a close economic relationship. it is a load ofjunk. moving on to the observer, our last brexit story, not the lead story but still on the front page, what about a second referendum? because the brexit secretary met with pro referendum mps. traitors. do i have
10:39 pm
to expand? democrats, you could say. we had a referendum with a majority of 52%, remember that? this is an appalling anti—democratic move. this isa appalling anti—democratic move. this is a jolly good excuse for trying to have no brexit. that is my interpretation of matters. hence the word traitor, which i mean it gently. hyperbole again, ruth! you are just going over the top. you are the independent, i have to jazz you have a bit. all right. it is interesting that stephen barclay, the brexit secretary, spent 45 minutes talking to labour mps about their plan fora minutes talking to labour mps about their plan for a referendum. which does suggest that finally, the government is reaching out across party divides, trying to put some kind of compromise together. staying with the observer, and another story we have been leading on for a part
10:40 pm
of today, is shamima begum. sajid javid, the criticism has come back, he has been described as a moral coward. i just want to ask both he has been described as a moral coward. ijust want to ask both of you, one of the arguments being put forward now is that we are exporting oui’ forward now is that we are exporting our problems. she is a product of oui’ our problems. she is a product of our society, but she is now a product of is, so how do we deal with that? we have had a lot of young men and women who have come along and supported is in default for them as well. the truth is they are british citizens, and i know there is a question about shamima begum and sajid javid has claimed she has dual citizenship with bangladesh, which of course bangladesh, which of course bangladesh completely denies. but putting her on one side, the truth is, are these young british people —— they are a young british people, they have citizenship, and presumably they will come back to
10:41 pm
this country and have to be dealt with. and insofar as they are terrorist threats, which i suspect some of them will be, then the government has to get to grips with all this problem. i think she has been treated as a bit of a totem, do you know what i mean? because the problem is bigger than she is. absolutely right. i do think the criticism of sajid javid is absolutely right. he was wrong to say that she could not come back, because that was in effect making her stateless, which is contrary to international law. and, you know, a country like britain ought to be able to deal with it, with problems that its people have created, and she is one of our people. she is a british citizen. is this going to go to court? i don't know, i wouldjust be interested to see what sajid javid has to say about the whole citizenship issue, because i am not a lawyer. there has got to be more
10:42 pm
on this, because i do think it is highly questionable what actually happened to her citizenship. but it isa happened to her citizenship. but it is a bigger issue than shamima begum, that is my main point. is a bigger issue than shamima begum, that is my main pointm is a bigger issue than shamima begum, that is my main point. it is also very sad human story, whatever the rights and wrongs, a baby has died. a point that a couple of people have said is, in the same way social services step in here and remove children from environments that they say are risky, couldn't the government have done the same thing? the fact she is in syria does not mean this country does not have a responsibility for her. 0k, not mean this country does not have a responsibility for her. ok, let's go back to the telegraph, and oxford rejects demand answers. tell is a bit more about that. some are annoyed that these are not accepted
10:43 pm
on that basis, if i may misinterpret that. i have very little sympathy with them, because we have all had problems and rejected in our life in one or another. and of course it is when you are rejected, it is very painful. tears come to my eyes as i speak. more to the point, if it is up speak. more to the point, if it is up to oxford to decide who they think is not the most potential, it could well be that you are —— at your middle—class student has got greater achievement in terms of a—levels and perhaps someone who has come from a less privileged background or a less wealthy background. the trouble is, oxford is looking for potential, and it is up is looking for potential, and it is up to oxford... st andrews have made this move to change my entry requirements. john, could you finish off on this? that is a good thing.
10:44 pm
but i also think it is a good thing that students are more assertive, and if they are rejected, i think they are entitled to a... do they need to be more assertive? do you think they are too assertive?” need to be more assertive? do you think they are too assertive? i am not assertive! did you hear right? 0k, not assertive! did you hear right? ok, just to finish off, the affluent do not fit into any diversity category, so there you go, they middle—class, that is interesting. that's it for this edition, come back at 1130, and we will have another look at the papers. hope you canjoin us another look at the papers. hope you can join us for that. now on another look at the papers. hope you canjoin us for that. now on bbc news, we are going to bring you a special programme from bradford, where we hear your suggestions for some of the stories we should be covering.
10:45 pm
i'm jack, i'mjack, and i'm jack, and from bradford. many people are saying they want stories from bradford told by the people of bradford, and we sifted through those stories, and some of them will be presented to you during this session. we have put them under themes, and we will discuss those themes, and we will discuss those themes and whether or not you think and they make a potential story ideas. maybe you have a different perspective, maybe you are doing something so fantastic that you think we should be including in our coverage. the first one, maybe not a surprise for people who do not come from bradford, but may be to you might sound a bit cliched, it would be interesting to get your thoughts, is the notion of multiculturalism. how important it is multicultural is
10:46 pm
on to the city? if we were to think about doing something on multiculturalism in bradford, how would you think about what good would you think about what good would look like? i think that we are able to sit here and have a conversation, this could possibly be a good way to do that in the city. when people sit and talk, they realise they have left similar lives regardless of their colour of their skin, their gender or religion, until someone goes, just come and sit down. there is nothing scary here, just talk to this person, that i think those barriers are broken down. when we talk about brexit and the hate crime that has come out of that, people verbally speaking out, things like that, views about migrants or people from different backgrounds living here, so i think shared stories are powerful. having spaces where people can come together to hear stories. to understand, where are you from, what
10:47 pm
makes you tick, how do you celebrate that part of your religion?” makes you tick, how do you celebrate that part of your religion? i was quite struck, being from outside bradford, that quite quickly, looking at the work we have already been doing here, it is a very rich and mixed group of people in bradford. there is a notion of that, maybe from outside bradford, bradford is basically either muslim or white, that is kind of it. is there a way of a kind of reflecting on the depth of the many different groups of people who live in bradford? on the quieter side of the room. the type of things, different cultures have brought to bradford in terms of food, music, arts, social and community work, health work, things like that. if you look at the sort of community events that go on in bradford, there's quite a lot, more than might think. some areas might be quite segregated, an area
10:48 pm
thatis might be quite segregated, an area that is predominantly asian and the next one predominantly caribbean, one predominantly white, which is an area i grew up in, to be fair. but then there are events that bring all these people together, and barriers in terms of racism and stereotypes and stuff, are sort of broken down because people are coming together to do something they enjoy. they are able to mix with each other. you love being in bradford because you can be yourself, you can express yourself and you have spaces where yourself and you have spaces where you can articulate how you feel. do you can articulate how you feel. do you feel that in bradford, you can be yourself, and you express your sexuality, your identity without fear? in bradford, it is a bit of a taboo that does need to be broken that you can be whoever you want. but i think i would only be safe to speak about my own problems in a safe space. i think there needs to be more of that in bradford. even though we kind of post this
10:49 pm
multicultural and diverse society we are in, when it goes to things like the lgbt+ community, we kind of shoo that away and focus on the ethnicity and things like that. there are very few cities in the uk where lgbtq people feel safe walking the streets openly, which is an issue i need to tackle. so i feel very proud to come from a city where they council themselves are spearheading opening themselves are spearheading opening the doors to those conversations and sing, these events are going on and these people are doing serious, credible work to help the people of bradford. and so, although i know that people do struggle, and there isa that people do struggle, and there is a loud voice coming from the people in power saying, be out and proud. my granddad came to this country in the 70s, and he was the first asian man to buy a house in
10:50 pm
keighley. he was the first asian man to own a business in keighley. he had as windows —— and constantly while trying to keep his business afloat. then why people started to move out because asian families moved in. the reason was because they wanted to be close to people that they were related to our friends with, so the community built and then people said they wanted to go and live with their friends. that is why we have these pockets, and i do not think you will have to mix a bit more. ijust don't think do not think you will have to mix a bit more. i just don't think that do not think you will have to mix a bit more. ijust don't think that is the way forward, i think you let people live where they want to live. my mum always talks about how they're used to be a white lady living across the street, then she moved to go and live with her family. and now it is predominantly asian. but people from different origins play with each other and nobody says they cannot. just a few months ago, i had a racist abuse from a ten—year—old going past me on a bike, because i was wearing an
10:51 pm
asian outfit. my identity changes every day depending on who i am with and where i am at. so when i am in london, i am a true northerner. when i'm in bradford, you know, the identity changes. you do not have to have one fixed identity, because depending on your group of people, you are setting, that identity changes, and it is ok to do that. when you think about public services, education, health, in bradford, do you think positive, or thatis bradford, do you think positive, or that is a real problem?” bradford, do you think positive, or that is a real problem? i think of the nhs, i think of my gp. we live in the city, and so many of us within the city, too much, so each gp is now overflowing the amount of people they have. so you go for a gp appointment and you can wait for an hour. it is hard to get one, then when you want to try and go somewhere else outside the gp and access another place that may be able to help you better, get
10:52 pm
nothing. there are negatives, but i think that is going to be in every city as well. because if we are talking the nhs, the uk, but there is small places. my gp, when i can look ahead. i have got nerve damage to my feet for three years. and although the nhs has been very... it has been as supportive as it can be, but i was at hospital last year, and i could notice the gaps but the nhs staff filled the gaps in. they made it as pleasant as possible.” staff filled the gaps in. they made it as pleasant as possible. i chair a patients group for a large practice, and i know the challenges the practice has in terms of recruiting gps and training staff. so if we're talking about bradford, the district is difficulties around attracting new teachers, new gps, people working in health, in different services that we have got. so if you're thinking of a single
10:53 pm
story idea, you are editing some bbc news programme, what would be the one story from bradford he would like us to do? i think! one story from bradford he would like us to do? i think i would want someone like us to do? i think i would want someone to focus like us to do? i think i would want someone to focus on like us to do? i think i would want someone to focus on all of the ways in which people in bradford are taking control of the narrative of the city, because we have talked about a lot of different problems in bradford today, but for each of those issues, there is a group of people that it's taking back control, and doing something to solve the issue. whether that is a speakers' corner, doing things about youth and mental health, whether thatis youth and mental health, whether that is taking control of buildings because no one else is investing, just like the people who are taking control of things. i think we are northerners who like to complain about the weather, i am not much older than scout, but there are young people here in the future. the
10:54 pm
industrialisation has happened —— deindustrialisation has happened, we need to accept that, but we need to incorporate that into the future of bradford. the north is more than that. we have so much more to offer thana that. we have so much more to offer than a past life and heritage, it is good to accept the editors, but it is good to look at what the young people can do as well. pass the torch on to them to lead from the front. i think i would like to see more integration with the people of bradford, and especially the youth. i think it is really important, because we are doing so much and there is so much talent that is not known about that could... it is such a big deal, and also the creativity side of it. i think the focus would be the identity, and especially young people, so young people being true to themselves, and whether that is having safe spaces like speakers' corner where you can be yourself without being judged, that would be good. i would really love for the bbc to focus on the architecture and
10:55 pm
the beautiful, superb buildings we have got in this city. right from the houses to salt mills to the town hall, public spaces like the park, voted as one of the best parts in the north, i would like that kind of feature, which will make people outside of bradford to say, i want to go and visit bradford. we set good evening. a blustery saturday but sunny spells and scattered showers for most of us. you can see from the satellite picture — best of the breaks were in sheltered eastern areas, more showers further west. by the end of the afternoon, the cloud and rain gathers into the southwest. that is a frontal system that will move through bringing some
10:56 pm
rain overnight tonight. behind it, we have got this little fellow here could cause issues. as it bumps into cold air it could bring some snow showers for tomorrow. for the next few hours, it will turn increasingly wet and windy. the rain pushing its way steadily northwards, perhaps grinding to a halt across northern england and north wales. far north under clearer skies, temperatures falling away. the blues tones denoting temperatures below freezing, maybe as low as —4 degrees in sheltered rural areas. that is important. that cold air is going to stay into scotland. first thing on sunday morning, we have got this range and a little bit of wet snow across the pennines, slipping its way steadily south and east. at the same time the next frontal system will bump into the cold air, and we could see some wintry showers. it will be a blustery start to the day. it is going to be snow falling to higher ground. we could see accumulation of a few centimetres. even at lower levels, there will be some slushy deposits, coupled with some pretty gusty winds at times. 40,50 mph plus. it isn't going to be very pleasant out there. there will be some showers and yes,
10:57 pm
a little bit of wintryness mixed in there cost northwest england and wales. for england and wales it will be a bright and sunny afternoon. for many, we keep the risk of a few wintry showers with slushy deposits threatening the further north and west, maybe even the odd rumble of thunder and some hail mixed in there as well. cold with the cloud, wind, rain and showers around 5 degrees at the very best. a little milder further south with maximum of 11. into monday, a brief ridge of high pressure will quiet things down for a time. not for long. make the most of it on monday. it looks likely to be a relatively quiet start to our new working week. then another significant area of low pressure looks likely to threaten from the west. it is going to bring yet more wet and windy weather, with a spell of gales as well for a time. this may well develop into a named storm. into next week, it looks likely to stay pretty unsettled. there will be some rain and gales but also a little bit of sun at times.
