11:30 pm
this is news day on the bbc. other place will make its own judgement as he rightly suggests. i i'm rico hizon in singapore. will come to the honourable lady. the headlines... point of order is. prosecutors raid the tokyo home of the former nissan chairman, yvette cooper bill through by one of arresting him for the first time —— fourth time. the noes to the left, vote. in our political correspondent bennett wright is watching from 312. a close call as british mps westminster. your thoughts? everyone of these folks these days is an absolute nailbiter. this with bowed to force the trimester to potentially huge ramifications of boiled down to just one vote. avoid leaving the eu without a deal. extraordinary sell. what this means now is that this bill, was that through the house of commons at a i'm babita sharma in london. also in the programme... high speed when i go to the lords, investigators are excited to release expected to happen as early as their first report into tomorrow and passage may be a formality. —— will go to the lord. it will then get royal assent and become law. when it means is that at the end of the day, the government will be compelled to come forward with a motion to the house of commons, seeking an extension to the article 50 process. in giving them
11:31 pm
peace the to vote on that. and i only vote on it, but to amend it as well. so that government can come back and say we want an extension for a few days in the house of commons could decide to amend that to say no, we think it should extend the process of two years. that is why the implications of this are pretty serious. and so what can the prime minister do? some suggestions this evening that in a way, this 55 department thereby making her point for her? is any convoluted reasoning oi’ for her? is any convoluted reasoning ora for her? is any convoluted reasoning or a reasoning that carries logic? number ten will not have wanted this. i think they are beyond the point this sort of action by the house of commons possibly helps them because i think the government have given up on the idea of getting there many for vote on the withdrawal deals bill anyway using the same strategy they haven't for weeks. in relying on brexiteers tories and the dup. that strategy is in the band. i'm not sure that this
11:32 pm
really changes that calculation. and i think government also is reconciled to asking for a longer extension when theresa may meets the eu leaders next week. which is why some are saying this bill was not actually very necessary today. because ministers have already said it will be going off to ask for more time. what this is his belts and braces come a backstop by the house of commons but it is giving mps a lot of power in the way it came about as extraordinary. legislation is initiated by government. here, you see a backbencher, yvette cooper, and a handful of others who are now de facto quasi—leaders of the country in some way. initiating legislation that has a very big impact. and they have pulled off quite a result this evening. where does that leave the prime minister, her authority, or credibility, her legitimacy, as you say, the kind of
11:33 pm
parliamentary momentum sees from the governmentcrafts, her red lines now in question, having to deal with the labour leaders, it is really a very difficult position. it is. traffic is not entirely one—way. in a tent by hilary benn, the labour mp, to insist on parliamentary time for further indicative vote on a monday did not pass in the comments but only because it was a did he. it required the, they have a casting vote and he voted with the government. —— the speaker to have. mps are getting their way on of these of votes, seeking a softer brexit on more powerfulfor the house of commons. but every one of theseis house of commons. but every one of these is just house of commons. but every one of these isjust chipping house of commons. but every one of these is just chipping away at number ten's authority, the executives authority, and really we are waiting to see what happens tomorrow. it is day by day, hour by hour now and we know that tomorrow,
11:34 pm
the respective negotiating teams that have been scrambled for number ten and for the labour leaderjeremy corbyn will meet all day to break out where, if any, crossbody compromise might lie, and the chancellor, philip hammond committed in it to be this evening with robert on itv in which he sounded fairly warm about the possibility of a compromise around a customs union, he said the idea of a referendum will be something that is certainly nice consideration by the house of commons, really interesting state m e nts commons, really interesting statements by one of the top members of the government. they will will only inflame tory brexiteers opinions but it shows where the compromise may emerge and how quickly thinking they are having to develop as the clock runs down. thank you, ben, for being there for us thank you, ben, for being there for us this evening. and for that insta nt us this evening. and for that instant analysis on the latest breaking events in the chamber. a
11:35 pm
victory for yvette cooper's bill by one vote at third reading which will now become a law if the lords pass it which as he was explaining, may indeed happen tomorrow. we shall see. a lot more on that coming up, but first we will get the newspapers. hello and welcome to our look and for what the papers will be bringing us for what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. and with me, jack blanchard and anna mikhailova. breathless events this evening. laughter all of which covered in the papers although the papers haven't had time to catch up. a lot more
11:36 pm
analysis in a moment. but first, let's have a look at the front pages. what we look at the front pages? —— what we look. the front pages? —— what we look. the front pages are in and we can to bring them to you, but is having a little trouble getting them up. it is good to talk to him on the front page of the metro. that a reference to the meeting between jeremy the metro. that a reference to the meeting betweenjeremy corbyn and theresa may, which we covered at length and the telegraph, obviously, that photo will be causing some telegraph readers to be choking on their cornflakes in the morning. the idea thatjeremy corbyn is in the driving seat on the negotiations which took place today and where are expecting more between a labour and conservative teams tomorrow. a more complex close piece in the guardian, links between tory strategists and
11:37 pm
brexit ads, some of the nuance of that from our reviewers. and a royal story is what the sun is leading with, their political editor predictions or warnings from cabinet ministers and other ministers in the government talking about a 15 ministers, five of them cabinet ministers, five of them cabinet ministers being ready to quit and being on the edge. financial times, suggesting pricing for access to the full unredacted version of the mueller report and they also looking at the talks between corbett and mrs may. bad diet, 90,000 deaths in the uk according to a report due to poor diet. let's now look at these papers in more detail with our reviewers, jack blanchard and anna mikhailova. i think we will start with the times, angry revote over at leaders brexit talk. check to explain this.
11:38 pm
this is basically what happens. that's right jack. when this is basically what happens. that's rightjack. when party leaders try to compromise with one another, it really upsets significant elements when in the party. the last thing some of these mps when to say. particularly on the tory site at the moment although we might see more on the labour side. they hate seeing them compromise especially with this hate the leader of the opposing party. they are used to watching their leaders shouting across the despatch box at the opposition, saying how they are not fit to govern all the rest of it and now they are sitting down in a dark room together and coming what that up room together and coming what that up with a plan to potentially that the backbenchers might not like. the tories in particular are feeling pretty sore and almost betrayed by the prime minister today after seeing her potentially caving in as they were seeing on some of the redlines he set out two or three yea rs redlines he set out two or three years ago on brexit and to do it at the behest ofjeremy corbyn is really rubbing the saw and i suppose it isa really rubbing the saw and i suppose it is a painful moment for them. but it is a painful moment for them. but
11:39 pm
it was always possible. she played her cards close to her chest. she was always going to the gym one week of the other. i think this is a inviolate mission that she cannot do it withjust the inviolate mission that she cannot do it with just the tory votes. —— an admission. this is her saying she tried three times and now she will try with labour mps. the problem with that is she is alienating a huge amount of our party, there's beena fury huge amount of our party, there's been a fury today, most of which we haven't seen the outcome of. as they report, there is potentially up to 15 ministers ready to jump, they should be a caveat by saying they all want to see where this goes the, and the railroad line for a lot of mps and brexiteers is will we have to and how long will this extension be and what we have to send candidates to the mep election. —— the red line for a light up. they think that is too far. they ran on a manifesto that said they wouldn't do
11:40 pm
that. they see it as a betrayal. they are serious when the are winning they might jump. they are serious when the are winning they mightjump. when they say on the edge, they really are. yes, i spoke to when a minister. —— saying they might jump yes, i spoke to when a minister. —— saying they mightjump us up they said exactly this. he said i will wait to monday, see what happens with indicative votes put forward by the government this time on monday, and then he said if that does not work outcome if the deal does not go through again in some shape or form, and it is looking like a long extension, he will walk.|j and it is looking like a long extension, he will walk. ithink people watching, does anybody care if someone ministers resign? we've seen if someone ministers resign? we've seen a if someone ministers resign? we've seen a 209i think government ministers resign since theresa may came to power, if any five or ten 90, came to power, if any five or ten go, that that really make any difference? the last six have gone she hasn't even bothered to replace. has anybody noticed ? she hasn't even bothered to replace. has anybody noticed? not really. we can westminster get caught up with the minister you never heard of has decided to leave but the truth is, i think the prime minister is past carey. 0ur party had a go at the opposing her in december and they
11:41 pm
failed. the way the tory party rules work if you only get a go once a year at that and they shot they missed effectively. she is now in a strong position in the sense that she can do what she likes and she has already telling them she will leave and resign and step down this summer leave and resign and step down this summer if she gets this deal through. so really what else have they got they can throw at her? not a great deal. and there was a meeting this afternoon where the 1922 committee and get come a lot of sound and fury, not signifying a lot yet,. what have they got left in the locker? all the way along, this process , locker? all the way along, this process, the story of your sceptics have been awarded this was what was going to happen at that happen if they kept putting the deal down. —— your sceptics. it was said to them again and again she will have to move into a to get anything through and get they did not listen they ignored it and it looks like they will end up paying quite a high price for that. yet, how soft is the direction in which he moves? let's look at the sun front page. the
11:42 pm
brexit store is saying yesterday everybody is talking about construction to constructive meetings and compromise, but mr corbyn said there has not been as much change as i expected. that is right. what we do not yet know as you rightly say is will she really prepared to do this? ready to drop the redlines and change her position and she hasn't done this yet. some expected her to go into this meeting today having made that dramatic speech in downing street the night before with a plan come and say i know what you want labour and i'm ready to sign up to these aspects of it. that has not happened today and by all accounts, she has gone in and set out her position and listen to theirs, they had talked about the process of it, but nobody is really starting to move yet. one person was saying to me involved in the talks, what did you expect from a preliminary discussion? this is how these things start. the problem is they haven't got a long time to sort it out. she has to go to brussels next week with a plan. these things need to be kind of compressed a
11:43 pm
little bit more than what would normally happen. yes. we have the european council summit next wednesday. anna, the i. focusing on a different angle. they are focusing on that make you don't even have that. here it is. they are focusing on the referendum. pressure there was some coming very loudly across wednesday from emily thornberry. yes. this was a very interesting development today. going to these talks between theresa may and jeremy corbyn, two things that expected we re corbyn, two things that expected were on the table. one is a move towards a softer brexit, a customs union possibly adding onto her deal. and the second is this pressure for a vote which was developed by peter kyle and phil wilson, two labour mps, they had their first idea as backbench mps, they then did quite a lot of work across the two parties
11:44 pm
to get support from both labour and tory mps, they have people like hugh merryman, villa hammond's pbs, they have got their amendments whipped by labour, which after being developed with input from keir starmer, sans iver high level, the labour party has been involved in this. —— philip hammond. the big question what this is, will actually a, be considered by theresa may, who, she has been a truly strong on throughout this process is to say there is no way i would never consider a second referendum. it is something that and debates, she has been strongest unusually. and this is one of the things they discussed today, hot a source say that said it came out multiple times in this meeting. —— a source told me that. no suggestion yet the government will move to
11:45 pm
that. i think crucially with this, there is a school of thought this is a separate issue in a sense. one thing is, what type i brexit that would go for. a separate thing is, do we then put that to a vote of the british people and you don't necessarily have to to be in either 01’, necessarily have to to be in either or, it could be both. which, is a helpful way for the government and labour of trying to hide that off and make that a separate issue and maybe let parliament decide on that separately while they continue talking about what kind of potentially softer brexit they have. i always intended as a way to win theresa may can i get her deal through to say, they will help you pass. —— it was always intended. they will only lend support to it once has been put to the people and they can but on it. but the really big question is what is the other option on the ballot paper about the putting her deal or whatever deal they agree is one thing, but then is they agree is one thing, but then is the other option going to be remain? or will it be another type of brexit, tory mps who like this wanted to be another type of brexit,
11:46 pm
emily thornberry today in her letter was very clear she wanted to be remain. i think most important of all, whichever question you had on the come if there is a vote in parliament to decide if we have another referendum, the answer is going to be no. there is still no majority for this. i suspect what they are talking about, do have a vote in parliament and which point mps decide we will not have a second referendum. until enough mps actually support it and they have a majority as we saw tonight, parliament is in control ultimately. that just isn't a parliament is in control ultimately. thatjust isn't a majority parliament is in control ultimately. that just isn't a majority at the moment for a so people's vote. it is not there. going then to the telegraph, an interesting one, in a way it puts the focus of power in a different place. they are saying to their readers corbyn is driving. yes. i'm glad you like it. laughter the telegraph's front pages focusing
11:47 pm
oi'i the telegraph's front pages focusing ona the telegraph's front pages focusing on a very the telegraph's front pages focusing on a very striking image ofjeremy corbyn coming out of the talks and it is highlighting the fact that we have fury from within tory ranks at the fact that they are even being held, we have had two ministerial regulations today from junior ministers, we had a lot of anger, both pm cues to him it was very telling that the strongest questions theresa may got wasn't from labour, it was from her own party. —— prime minister questions were very telling. people feeling like she betrayed them. jack, do you think there is a substantial shift of power towards corbyn at this point? certainly more than there was two days ago. but it really depends on if theresa may actually prepared to do this. until we see her start to move, then all of this is just talk in all of it is just talk in private rooms and it might be to make look like she wants to do it and it may
11:48 pm
be put labour in a difficult position. will she actually do? if she does, she signed it to their idea of what brexit will look like, which is customs union and this close alignment on the rights and regulations with the front of that isa regulations with the front of that is a big move and bake shift in the prime minister and jeremy corbyn did that and he can claim that as that in the right to put them in the front as the shadow cabin equipment you get a sense there's a lot of counselling amongst all of them but... there is a lot of tussling but... there is a lot of tussling but in the end if you're going to put more people it would be the shadow cabinet. it will be a very close tea m shadow cabinet. it will be a very close team of advisers who work around jeremy corbyn don't make any mistake. they are the ones making the decisions. the question that they have got is if he does make that offer, do they actually want to be in the driving seat? labour have enjoyed being able to sit on the fence throughout this process throwing rotten tomatoes at the prime minister and pointing at her and saying look at what a bad job she is doing, what she says 0k,
11:49 pm
and saying look at what a bad job she is doing, what she says ok, this do this together, how do you like it, it is their fall at that point. plenty of labour supporters who the last thing they wanted to say from a labour party is helping a tory prime minister out of a hole in helping guards to the liver brexit they don't even want to happen. if she is serious about doing this a place jeremy corbyn in a difficult position. yes. it is a big choice. absolutely. a lot of symbolism. the reason it is him is because her suddenly saying reaching out to him and almost help me, i need your help and almost help me, i need your help andi and almost help me, i need your help and i need to sit down and talk, this is a huge shift from as you said at the start, everything she ever said about said at the start, everything she eversaid about him, said at the start, everything she ever said about him, he is unfit to govern, they shouldn't be given the case number he is a security risk, and this something that tory mps caught her out on today, very openly. —— called her at all. caught her out on today, very openly. —— called herat all. i think we still do not know really what will come out of this, this address and it mightjust be the first day in the setting up of
11:50 pm
negotiations as possible, but labour sources have told me suggest that what she sat down with it, she did not offer anything new. she just wants their support but she is not really budging and unless that changes erratically tomorrow, it is court to be a waste of time. changes erratically tomorrow, it is court to be a waste of timelj changes erratically tomorrow, it is court to be a waste of time. i think there is a sense of inevitability there is a sense of inevitability the about the forethought to resume a loss or majority a general election. —— about this after that loss of a majority. she carried on her way. in other countries, we could have a hung parliament, it is normalfor could have a hung parliament, it is normal for parties to work together. in this country, we are shocked at the idea of it and people resigned and left right and centre. it does not have to always be that way. the bbc had a fantastic interview with the chief went earlier this week, he basically predicted this. —— chief went. he said this was going to involve working more cross party a softer break in involve a softer brexit. theresa may did not do that.
11:51 pm
she is not that kind of politician, she is very much my way or the end, she is very much my way or the end, she had to go there but this man dragged there. —— but it has been. very unusual place for her to be extra point out. must go the guardian. a kind a different angle they are taking. setting off down a path quite distinct from the other papers. a link between tory strategist and pro—brexit ads. unpick this for us, anna. yes. this is about about facebook using adverts, which it turns out our backed by the lobbing company headed by crossley. and it is all about using targeted ads to put pressure oi'i using targeted ads to put pressure on mps to vote for a hard brexit. —— by crosby. this murky link again a social media, brexit, how are they influencing us and what are the
11:52 pm
algorithms and the ads and targeted as that are being used to essentially sway people and to persuade them to do various things. so this is all men are a running story, it has feeding into something facebook. —— this has been a running story. they earlier this week said they would change their system to being more being transparent and how figuring out what we see as ads. what is really interesting about this is the scale of it. if you are not a facebook like me, this is going completely under the radar. you might not even notice it happening.jim you might not even notice it happening. jim wilkerson says that of these small campaigns, nobody ever of these small campaigns, nobody ever heard of, they are collect the expending on facebook swamps the amount spent in the last six months by all the uk major political parties and the government combined. —— spending on facebook. a huge amount of money being spent com pletely amount of money being spent completely under the radar, targeting people to get these
11:53 pm
messages. no accountability of where thatis messages. no accountability of where that is coming from and who is... people don't know who is telling them what's up theyjust see them arriving. yes. what is different about this story? it seems to be that it about this story? it seems to be thatitis about this story? it seems to be that it is focused on mp5 as she said, rather than on the public which is quite different from what we saw the digital media conscious board report attacking facebook and that was talking about the targeting of the public on facebook but this is not talking about targeting of mps which is a very specific demographic. yes. i don't know if we pull mps to see how much they make their decisions based on their facebook posts. or after they checked in. iwould hazard facebook posts. or after they checked in. i would hazard a guess that it checked in. i would hazard a guess thatitis checked in. i would hazard a guess that it is hopefully not that much. —— or how much they checked him. either way, all of this leads into this this huge debate about social media, should it be regulated, how we police all of this, the funding
11:54 pm
thing is fascinating because it is like every analysis going and very strict and police rules and the regulators and when they exceed spending limits, they are fine and investigated and called out, even if it is after the fact sometimes. but with facebook, with other social media, it is quite murky. it is indicative of a political system thatis indicative of a political system that is not up—to—date with the world as it now is. we all know how strict the roles are around broadcasting, whenever you cover politics and other people are spending on politics, body broadcasters have these actually rigid rules for a good reason. to try to make sure it is fair and people know when they are being sold a message. actually that may way people consume media now or at least even people consume media now or at least eve n steve ns people consume media now or at least even stevens may be with tv, is no regulation at all, it doesn't seem to have kept that make nobody made any attempt to keep pace.|j to have kept that make nobody made any attempt to keep pace. i will say something very shocking. we will be politics for a minute and a half
11:55 pm
laughter let's look at the time. a piece about health. a walk in the park and we will look at the delamere after more depressing piece health. positive piece appeared, 20 minutes in the part with nature, beach s. who want to tell me about that? as any great news? a 20 minute lunch time show the way park is one of the most effective stress busting treatments a doctor can prescribe. let's hope somebody told the prime minister because sirjames is park is not too far away. what a lovely park. she is looking a little tired and understandably so. maybe this is just a solution she needs. she can ta ke just a solution she needs. she can take care of her. excellent plan! watch the pelicans together. less cheerful news, daily mail. bad diet to blame for one six debts. yes. the daily mail reporting that poor diets kill nearly 90,000 britons a year. that is a shocking statistic.
11:56 pm
apparently, almost as many as smoking now. a lot of this is down to salty foods, sugary drinks, things that we often are have been trying to get a handle on but clearly are not doing enough. trying to get a handle on but clearly are not doing enoughm trying to get a handle on but clearly are not doing enough. it is partly exactly all those things you said we should not be getting and then we are not eating the things we should be eating, fruit, vegetables, fibre, it is stuff we know but i suppose what is shocking is the numbers. 90,000. yes. and without money to bring it back to politics again, these are the things that you would expect the government to be tackling. —— without winning to bring it back. taking on obesity strategies and things like that because everybody is assessing about the dreaded b word and... you said it again. and it means there isn't really that big thinking around this sort of stuff that ought to be going on. that is a good and important point in which to in. jack blanchard and anna mikhailova thank you for coming in this evening.
11:57 pm
that is sent for the papers tonight. join us again, same time, same place tomorrow. —— that is our show for tonight. hello and good evening. all variety of april showers today. hail, funnel clouds thunder, lightning, sleet, and snow as well. a double ring docent and earlier from and snow as well. a double ring docent and earlierfrom our weather watchers, we had some wonderful pictures today, and some really lovely shower. —— a double rainbow sent in. when they fall of snow it will give us some problems and that will give us some problems and that will continue to deny. the centre of the low pressure is just meandering across artworks, some of the heavy showers through the next two hours could well be across parts of wales and the southwest of england, moving out of scotland eventually in northern isla. with them is a real risk of snow, hence the travel weather band because we could see
11:58 pm
significant falls over some of the higher routes and wells that had for the valley and the a 1m. 36 cm were clearly causing some disruption that could also be a smattering for the moors into the cotswolds. it will be a call it a night with a widespread frost and given we had all of the showers, some i i surround. —— i surround. all of this working east as the band of rain gradually snow will become bind to the higher ground but they could be very lively showers elsewhere come as we saw today really, with hail, thunder, gusty winds but we are losing that a really strong wind that we have had for the western side we pick up more ofa for the western side we pick up more of a southerly. temperatures might doa of a southerly. temperatures might do a little better tomorrow by a degree or two but if you are caught in the area of rain it will feel pretty cold. come thursday into friday, we have that low pressure slipping a little bit further to the south and west, along the southeasterly breeze to come in and with it, something a little warmer,
11:59 pm
coming right from africa across the mediterranean. it will work out somewhat as we head towards the end of the week and the fact we have more of a southerly one. we have cut off our arctic more of a southerly one. we have cut off ourarctic air more of a southerly one. we have cut off our arctic airflow. more of a southerly one. we have cut off our arctic air flow. and we start to move our weather front away from northern scotland, looks like a brighter and drier day was still with the low pressure close to the south was still with the low pressure close to the southwest from picking up my showerfrom northern ireland come into wells, the southwest into the west widely now into double figures by friday so i bang on back to average and above over the weekend with a lot of dry weather but potentially more cloud as well by that stage in the east. goodbye.
