11:31 pm
easter weekend. take care. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are jason beattie, the daily mirror's head of politics and kate proctor, political reporter for the london evening. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. most of the papers lead with the same story, with the metro reporting on the arrest of wiki leaks founderjulian assange. mr assange had his political assylum revoked after seven yea rs by the ecuadorian embassy and the guardian says he now ‘faces five years in usjail‘. the financial times talks about his us extradition charges saying his involvement in a computer hacking conspiracy led to ‘one of the largest compromises of classified information in us history.
11:32 pm
the daily mail features a smiling picture of mr assange with the headline ‘that‘ll wipe the smile off his face'. it reports that the judge in court today branded mr assange a narcissist. the telegraph also shows mr assange on its front page. but it leads on brexit. it reports that no—deal planning has been wound down now there is a new date set to leave the eu. the telegraph highlights the dup's two year confidence and supply deal with the government is nearing its end. also featuring the dup is the times, however it goes with a different angle and says the party has held private talks with borisjohnson and his leadership campaign, as theresa may allegedly faces repeated challenges to her ‘dwindling authority'. the paper also leads with julian assange, however they claim he faces decades in prison, rather than the five
11:33 pm
years that the guardian claimed. ‘mps need a break — we want brexit‘ headlines the daily express — as the prime minister urges mps to back her deal, just before they commence their easter break. and finally the sun claims that the duke and duchess of sussex have ‘infuriated' their staff by banning them from using a car park — because it overlooks the couples home — it desribes the alleged conflict as a ‘royal rumble‘. let‘s start with the story dominating all the front page is pretty much, and that isjulian assange come after seven years in the ecuadorian embassy, he was in the ecuadorian embassy, he was in the words of the daily mail dragged out to face justice today. you have been following this story all day, jason, and it has to be said there is little if no sympathy forjulie andi is little if no sympathy forjulie and i signs in the daily mail. no.
11:34 pm
we will go to some papers later. —— julian assigned. we need to remember why he spent seven years in the embassy. that was because he skipped bail, after the british court ordered he should be extradited to sweden, where he faced allegations of sexual assault, one case of allegation of rape and another of molestation, which he denies. why it is so intriguing, the story, and why it is causing such divisions and strong opinions is this is a character. who was hailed as some, like a folk hero for wikileaks dissemination of material that showed us troops in afghanistan and
11:35 pm
iraq had committed atrocities. the reason this is become such crucial problems is that some people feel his subsequent behaviour could be excused by that one act. and depending on what side you are on in terms of whether you are see america as an evil imperial power or a beacon of freedom and enlightenment, it also depends how people tend to look at him. but i can‘t stress enough, there is a moraljudgement here. my feeling is if you are charged with a sexual assault, you should face justice because of that. and because otherwise, it is a defeat for potential victims.
11:36 pm
interesting what jason says. he is a device figure shown on the front pages today. it was interesting this evening thatjeremy corbyn tweeted he did not think thatjulian assange should be extradited. —— divisive figure. it was really astonishing to say to see him being dragged out of the embassy. in seven years is clearly ta ke n the embassy. in seven years is clearly ta ken its the embassy. in seven years is clearly taken its toll on this man's appearance. he didn't look anything like he did when he went in. it was very dramatic. the point that jeremy corbyn is making is thatjulian faces this computer hacking charge which may carry a sentence of five years. one computer hacking charged in the united states. yes. he may face a jail time of five years, but i think the fear is that once he is in america, those charges could be expanded from his jail term in america, those charges could be expanded from hisjail term could increase exponentially and nobody is really quite sure what exactly
11:37 pm
america would like to do. it is a very specific charge. jason said earlier this evening that at the moment, it is very tight and narrow because he is a computer hacker, essentially at the heart of it, but it is possible if things could be brought in r. jeremy corbyn, the labour party and have made a big point today to say he is a whistle—blower point today to say he is a whistle— blower and the point today to say he is a whistle—blower and the things he did in terms of revealing information about the war in iraq has been important and valuable but there is just caution that sending them off to america to possibly... there is a bit of a an unease about what might happen to him. turning to the guardian, which is more sympathetic to him, saying the headline faces five years in usjail, and we did watch his lawyer today say this is a freedom of speech issue and that
11:38 pm
this has potential implications for all journalist everywhere. this has potential implications for alljournalist everywhere. it is this the slippery slope for journalism or putting it a bit far? probably too early to tell. let‘s see how far we get. the guardian is more sympathetic towards him because they work together in the original wikileaks drop which expose the atrocities by the us forces. they have a kind of different angle to some of the other papers. though he isa some of the other papers. though he is a fear, he is not a journalist, but he is somebody who is a whistle—blower, this could set a precedent where whistle—blowers should not my view have protection because otherwise you did not come forward and expose wrongdoing. there isa forward and expose wrongdoing. there is a worry that if the united states
11:39 pm
extradite him in pressing charges in addition to the ones already laid out, for the whistle—blowing offence and that cassette a dangerous precedent forjohn ellis as his lawyer said. that is a legitimate claim and we should be careful of it. -- claim and we should be careful of it. —— forjournalism. there is a huge irony here which makes medical and so interesting is that wikileaks is also behind the leaking of the democrat party e—mails, which because hillary clinton so much damage in her presidential race against donald trump. donald trump has come out today and said he never heard of wikileaks despite during the campaign praising them over 100 times. there are political implications. yes and you do wonder why he is being charged with the offence against the us military and
11:40 pm
not the wikileaks involvement in the democratic mess. from what you have seen so far, do you think this will be quite a long protracted process? it will take a long time. if you look at the precedent of other cases, i am look at the precedent of other cases, iam not look at the precedent of other cases, i am not expecting it to be quick at all. shall we move on to brexit? no, to the time. kind of brexit. johnson hold talks with dup. pressure increases on mrs may. this is borisjohnson pressure increases on mrs may. this is boris johnson holding pressure increases on mrs may. this is borisjohnson holding talks with the dup because with the times because of her doing the legal authority. what do you make of this story? this is really interesting. something a little bit i wasn't expecting to see this today. boris johnson has had 40 minutes worth of
11:41 pm
talks with the dup on wednesday in parliament, and it is going to kinda wring a few alarm bells, why is warrenjohnson doing wring a few alarm bells, why is warren johnson doing this, wring a few alarm bells, why is warrenjohnson doing this, everybody knows that he would like to have a leadership challenge against theresa may. —— leadership challenge against theresa may. — — why leadership challenge against theresa may. —— why is borisjohnson. if she decides to go, quite soon. but what is hard to work at is what there is to gain from having the dup are perhaps on your side because the dup haven't really been voting with theresa may for quite a long time. theresa may for quite a long time. the confidence and supply arrangement they have hasn't been effective for a number of months. let's say we want... the dup is want to align them with boris and let there be known. it doesn't really change the mass over all in the comments when it comes to brexit, and the other thing is, the comments when it comes to brexit, and the otherthing is, the dup comments when it comes to brexit, and the other thing is, the dup have been saying they want to see change
11:42 pm
to the backstop problem and that is and they withdrawal agreement, and the eu have said repeatedly we are not going to reopen that. so let's just say borisjohnson becomes not going to reopen that. so let's just say boris johnson becomes the next leader of the tory party, there is nothing to say he could offer the dup any significant changes or anything that would really make... i can't quite see what it is in these talks that bring some together but jason might have a better idea. talks that bring some together but jason might have a better ideal was going to say maybe it is a advance, one of the most expensive attem pts advance, one of the most expensive atte m pts to advance, one of the most expensive attempts to buy loyalty and history, such little fruitfulness. what is that in it for the dup? i have made clear they they all kind of have lost us with theresa may. it was interesting in the commerce today. ask two questions by dup mps and she
11:43 pm
kind of turned on them. you can see her frustration kind of kind of turned on them. you can see herfrustration kind of came kind of turned on them. you can see her frustration kind of came out and that way i haven‘t seen with her today. she is usually kind of measured when talking to her partners. that coming to an end. this is the key thing. we are shortly or shortly should be having a queen‘s speech, almost nothing to put in it beyond brexit, and when you get a new queen suites they have to renew this common and supply. money is quite tight. we just wasted 1.5 billion or so so far on on a no deal planning. —— 1.5 billion or so so far on on a no deal planning. -- queen‘s speech. do they find even more money down the back of the sofa for another deal? i can see that causing a lot of anger. washington also trying to make friends i would say across the house. that's borisjohnson. friends i would say across the house. that's boris johnson. he is a friendly man. also a thought of in terms the next leader of the conservative party, while he is
11:44 pm
favoured by the grassroots, he doesn‘t necessarily have the backing in parliament. that is correct. it might be difficult for him to get down to the final two. also a bit of bridge building going on here. he went over and spoke about annual conference, he then changed his mind on mrs may deal after saying it was disaster, with all biblical references, and the dup were not impressed by that. now he must be going back to them and saying i can change my mind again. i am a politician. i am change my mind again. i am a politician. iam boris. rules on apply. let's turn to the telegraph. jason just mentioned the cost of no deal planning. —— rules do not apply. 0peration yellow swept under the carpet. it can‘t be completely hoover it up to continue the thought because no deal is still possibly on the table. everything has been put
11:45 pm
on hold and i think what it is as the urgency about it was not because we have not got this extension and so we we have not got this extension and so we have been told that white hall, the members of the staff or working around the clock, specialists that were so kinder from wanting to another, purely to work ona nail wanting to another, purely to work on a nail deal planning. and it looks like this is have been kind of put on hold for now, there have been so put on hold for now, there have been so much criticism this evening and especially visible on social media, just how much money has been spent on no deal preparations, which might now not be needed and all of the government has spent a lot of money on this, individual businesses have also spent a lot of time preparing for a potential no deal, there has been evidence of stockpiling, businesses have had to re—cost things, and it has made quite a big difference to their accounts. some of the reports we were getting this
11:46 pm
morning after this extension was announced. i think no deal, a lot of work went into it. and now these contingency plans are going to go into operation but it doesn't mean to say there isn't the filing cabinet full of no deal plans that can be brought out. in fairness, if we have been seeing headlines come if there had been no preparations, . .. if there had been no preparations,... there have to be preparations. didn‘t there? preparations,... there have to be preparations. didn't there? for political purposes. i would have been, it would‘ve been for listeners and massive damage if we have went ahead or do go ahead with a no deal. it isa ahead or do go ahead with a no deal. it is a disaster risk. plenty of people who think it would be fine. it is a disaster risk. plenty of people who think it would be finel know. let's not get into that,... i would love to get into that. let's get onto meghan markle. the point i am making is they couldn‘t make any
11:47 pm
preparations, surely. —— not not make any. then you come down to why if we waste this money and that was it worth it in the first place? the prime minister coded that a no deal right from the beginning. the ludicrous think about this, even if we crash out, the eu‘s start will not change. they will demand a withdrawal agreement and a backstop. it was almost like a non—sensible for you to go forward with it. you make a point. let us finish, not it wasjulian make a point. let us finish, not it was julian or brexit, make a point. let us finish, not it wasjulian or brexit, but with the meghan markle. the duchess of sussex. 0n the front of your paper jason. kate, according to the mirror, megan is ditching 42 years of tradition by not coming out and showing her baby to the world impressed. we will not use the word radical around the royal family very often but this is in unusual decision to have made because it
11:48 pm
tends to be royal babies are born in a hospital, and everybody knows when the baby is being born, the media assembled outside and you will get that photograph of the baby on the steps and kate middleton has done that for her last three children. and there was the expectation megan would do the same and she is breaking with tradition and she might possibly have the baby at home but in terms of the photograph are the that will not happen for some time and it sounds like it will be at the couple susan. well fanatics are not going to get the baby pictures they were hoping for. —— couple pots make choosing. unusual move. it is a striking thing for them to have done. what is behind it? you can say the woman was our privacy with a baby, which is understandable, or you can say family can survive solely on the simplicity or leaches off a taxpayer to live in a countable lifestyle, it
11:49 pm
might turn upjust to be on a to live in a countable lifestyle, it might turn up just to be on a photo. i will let you decide which one i think it is. on that bombshell, we must leave it there. always good to hear both of your views. that‘s it for the papers. 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, jason and kate. goodbye. good evening — i‘m gavin ramjaun — here‘s your latest sports news. to the football first, and another busy night of european action — with arsenal and chelsea winning in their europa league quarter final first legs. arsenal will take a two goal advantage to napoli — while chelsea needed a late goal
11:50 pm
in prague, to get thejob done. patrick gearey reports. you can go so far undercover in the europa league, but there is no hiding in the quarterfinals. arsenal‘s opponents, napoli, are second in the league. no mugs, despite how they were made to look in the first half. the boys from italy one down to a man who‘s soon after italy. to a man who‘s soon off to italy. aaron ramsey signs forjuventus this summer, how they will miss him. arsenal were rampant, when napoli finally got something in the way, this happens. lucas took the shot and the credit, but the touch was inadvertently important. his goal keeper‘s fingertips would be equally crucial. alex stood the tide, somehow denying arsenal of the goal which might settle this quarterfinal, and it still needed settling. arsenal‘s away record is patchy to say the least. napoli knew it. that miss might be abig what—ifs, still the gunners
11:51 pm
could travel to naples in added comfort, for a second some of the emirates thought it was in. not quite. and this contest not quite over. the first 20 minutes in prague were hardly worth recording. chelsea slumbered against slavia was only ended by a moment of inspiration. unlucky. but also unmatched for some time. in search of magic, so often, chelsea look to their star, eden hazard, who had been on the bench. but the match winner was less predictable. for five minutes from time, who was meeting the cross but the left—back, marcos alonso? not a great away performance but a big away goal. three fans were turned away from chelsea‘s match at slavia prague after the premier league club identified them in a video — appearing to sing a racist song and making reference to liverpool forward mohamed salah. three other fans singing in the video did not turn up to the game, but the bbc understands that chelsea are trying to identify them and will ban them if they are found to be season ticket
11:52 pm
holders or members. the club have made a statement which says... rugby australia has sacked one its star players — israel folau — over a social media post in which said that ‘hell awaits‘ gay people. folau is a devout christian — and made similar comments last year. here are the thoughts of cardiff blues‘ australian head coachjohn mulvihill. in 2019, athletes have... they have a job to do as role models in some areas. i know some of them don‘t want to be, but at the end of the day if you are going to put yourself out there on twitter and instagram and have hundreds of thousands, a million followers, then you can affect their reaction and you can have an effect
11:53 pm
on what people think and say. so i think it‘s really important that going forward everyone has understanding of their responsibility. it‘s been a mixed day for england all—rounder ben stokes — in his latest match playing for the rajasthan royals against the chennai super kings in the ipl. stokes made a quick 28 runs and then took a stunning catch off the bowling ofjofra archer as the super kings collapsed chasing their target of 152. the super kings had the last laugh though. they needed three off the last ball — bowled by stokes — and new zealander mitchell sa ntner hit it for six. that‘s all the sport for now, but before we go don‘t forget you can get latest updates on the first round of the masters from augusta on the bbc sport website. that‘s bbc.co.uk/sport. you can watch highlights of the first round via the red button at 9:15 tomorrow morning, and they‘re repeated at seven in the evening on bbc two. bye for now. hello. if you are looking for some warmth
11:54 pm
out of your weekend weather, you will not find it here. it will feel a bit colder than it has been recently, with a stronger wing. the breeze picks up a bit in the day ahead but plenty of dry weather to come, a bit more cloud in the sky. but still some sunny spells. high pressure in scandinavia, blocking atlantic weather systems from coming our way but feeding in some cool air on a chilly breeze. largely clear skies, there will be a touch of frost around for some of us as the day begins but plenty of sunshine. some cloud will build out of this start and for many of us, a little bit more than we had recently. the cloud in eastern scotland, a few showers around, and some developing for east anglia and the southeast of england. there will be very hit and mist. most places will have a dry day. easterly breeze picking up a little bit. that process will continue into the weekend. going to feel coldest across the east side of the uk. maybe ten to 12 in the west, as high as 14 degrees and the best of the sunshine across northwest scotland.
11:55 pm
a quick counter to friday night. some of the cloud we have seen will melt away, it will become largely clear, still the chance of a few showers feeding in across the far southeast of england. and again for many of us, it will be a frost as the weekend begins. the gardeners and growers, take notice of that. and for saturday, and indeed the whole weekend, the weather pattern looks like this. high pressure coming against low—pressure, control of the weekend weather, high—pressure winning, but with a stronger and colder easterly wind. a windier picture across the uk put where i think we will notice it the most is in the west. northern ireland could see gusts around 40 mph on saturday. still the odd shower for east anglia and the southeast of england, may be a bit of hail mixing with those, mostly dry in places, some swells and for many places, temperaturesback into the single temperatures back into the single figures and colder. a frost for many as some day begins, with the front was springing up in a ring to the west of northern ireland, elsewhere it should stay dry.
11:56 pm
cloud building after a start, and again feeling chilly in the wind. this is what we are expecting this weekend. a lot of dry weather to come, chance for the shower, some sunny spells, windier and feeling caught in the wind, and feeling cold in the wind, frosty nights as well, it does start to warm up again next week.
