to move on. britain basks on the hottest day of the year so far with more sunshine to come. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the sunday papers will be bringing us. with me are the columnist for the new european newspaper, and playwright, bonnie greer... i love that. then i will wash the other one. and broadcaster penny smith. most of the front pages are in. the mail on sunday has details of a survey, which suggests that 40% of conservative councillors are planning to vote for nigel farage‘s brexit party in next month's european elections

in protest over theresa may's failure to bring about the uk's exit from the eu. meanwhile, the sunday telegraph reports on the findings of a polling memo which suggests that conservative supporters are opposed to the high speed 2 rail project, and would be more likely to support a leadership contender who pledged to scrap it. the sunday express focuses on theresa may's easter message. it says the prime minister has vowed to tackle the persecution of millions of christians around the world as church leaders warn the faith is under unprecedented siege. the observer leads on a warning from labour's deputy leader, tom watson, that the party will never defeat nigel farage if it continues to sit on the fence over brexit and offers only lukewarm support for a second referendum. the sunday times claims royal officials have drawn up plans to hand the duke and duchess of sussex a major internationaljob that could see them moving abroad after the birth of their child. that is pretty much any moment now. a couple of days.

it could happen without telling us anything. they have the instagram account now, haven't they? this baby could be here already. i think they keep popping them out. he loves a royal baby. well worth a watch. always love a royal baby. anyway, let's look at the mail on sunday. brexit does emerge in the headlines, and the fallout from brexit. this is an interesting pole. 40% of counsellors backed garage. they say three quarters of the counsellors want mrs may to resign, and overwhelming 96% believe the tory party has been damaged by this impasse. then inside the paper, you've got the strapline there, our party is dead, exit is killing us on

the doorstep, and various other bit of the pole, for example they had borisjohnson as their favourite tory leader, and although when it includes nigel ‘s garage, nigel garage come second... he is not even a member of the party —— farage. yes, all sorts of shenanigans. on tuesday, tuesday they will be taking this vote to the committee about whether they can change the rules to allow them to have another no—confidence vote with theresa may. by no—confidence vote with theresa may. by then, royal baby. completely swamped. who knows? watch this space. tiny violins. this party completely deserves everything it is getting, they are the ones who plunged us into this mess because of their own infighting, which is going on for

dozens of years, they totally deserve this. no tears at all. and they need to goad down because of what they have done. it is not just what they have done. it is notjust the conservative party, though. it is the whole of pa rt party, though. it is the whole of part —— parliament. when you speak to people represented by mps, whatever party in the parliament, particularly as penny does on radio shows, they are fed up, absolutely fed up... but we all know that this whole referendum was a ploy by david cameron to actually knock out nigel... it doesn't matter. we are aware we are, and that is why people get annoyed. i always want to know how the mess happens, and this is how it happened, and this is where they are andl happened, and this is where they are and i don't feel sorry for them. they haven't even come up with an alternative, have they? there is not another plan.

the alternative, it says here, is thatjeremy corbyn gets in to downing street, but he will not because he will stay in his islington and home and have copies all over the shop. our children's children willjudge and there will be finger—pointing. brexit gracing the sunday telegraph ina brexit gracing the sunday telegraph in a way. doctor fox there saying that written will be a disruptive force in brussels after delayed to brexit. thanks for that. helpful. we will have 3000 trade deals in a week. fox giving us another prediction that somehow this country's meps will be a disruptive force in the eu. but they are ready force in the eu. but they are ready for this, they are ready for it, so it will look very silly, very juvenile and very childish. it does point out what we were just

saying. he has been speaking in iraqi ona saying. he has been speaking in iraqi on a visit and warn uk's basic democratic credentials were under threat from parliament, not theresa may, not david cameron or parliament, because of their refusal to sign off on brexit. isn't he a member of parliament? he is badmouthing the uk in iraq and he is badmouthing the uk in iraq and he isa memberof is badmouthing the uk in iraq and he is a member of the uk. that is ridiculous. thank you for that. in the observer, labour have also got problems. they we re labour have also got problems. they were never defeat nigel farage and his brexit party. this is warnings from tom watson. isn't this how it all began, penny? farage fear. we are hearing a lot about it. senior labour remain as our annoyed aboutjeremy senior labour remain as our annoyed about jeremy corbyn‘s lukewarm support for a second referendum. now... both sides are trying to

persuade meanwhile millions of young people to register to vote, and maybe that is a more important things, because 3,000,018 to 30 —year—olds are registered, and 80% of party members and many mps want the brexit issue to be put back to the brexit issue to be put back to the people. i think there is a correlation between those two things because there is a general feeling, and has been shown that the older you are, the more you are tending to vote for brexit. except in my case. and just to be a devil 's advocate for labour, they have a deeply troubling problem. there heartlands would leave. they have to figure out how do you hold onto their heartlands? they have lost scotland. how do you hold onto the heartland and deliver they voted for, and at the same time, look at the future of the party, which is

going to remain. i don't know how they solve this. do you think a snap election would almost become an unofficial, or could become an unofficial referendum? absolutely. each party would have to make it very clear what they stand for. easy for nigel farage. it is about what europe will accept as well. this is what we were saying. we are in a pickle. theresa may... we are in a terrible pickle. if it was the sun, they would have a picture of branson. nothing to do with brexit, this is a easter message, and it is an interesting and powerful one, but you want to know what she will do about it. is she going to give them asylum in this country? talking about christians who have

been persecuted. what is she doing? it is an important thing to say, i would argue with that, but then what. what is she going to do? she is not offering asylum at this point in time to anyone from iraq, i don't ca re time to anyone from iraq, i don't care what religion they are, so it will be interesting. she is making a message, but what will be the end result? the government faced huge criticism last year where mrs may refuse asylu m last year where mrs may refuse asylum request for the christian woman, she faced death threats. for blasphemy in pakistan. and didn't give her asylum. but there are millions of her across the world. exactly. and then what? it is all very well to say this. now what are you going to do about it? the christian group open backdoors is the worse places in somalia, afghanistan where christians face the most extreme persecution, 300

christians are killed because of their faith christians are killed because of theirfaith according to christians are killed because of their faith according to the foreign office. i would say that of course christians are also facing persecution, but in various places, minorities are facing persecution, minority in terms of either facing persecution in other places. what a civilised country does is offer asylu m. what a civilised country does is offer asylum. that is the ultimate gift, the ultimate refuge that you can offer, and right now, this country is no place for foreigners. so that will be interesting. inside the sunday express, a priest to read the sunday express, a priest to read the last rites for the gentlest lyra has described little wargames or terrorist. it is the saddest thing. this is such a tragic loss of life. 29 years old so she would have been seven when peace of a sort came to northern ireland. and it is so

incredibly sad. he says this writing, he talked about the moments as he reached lyra's bedside. the writing was clearly orchestrated. everybody in our community knows that. we have a small group of people who want to play political games with our lives. it is really just... on the other side to this is that it does seem that people have come together in unison to condemn this in no uncertain means. we have lost an extraordinary human being. they didn't know how extraordinary she was. she was a wonderful writer, she had a promising future, she was an activist and an extraordinary human

being. and a tribute to her. the sunday times, plans being drawn up to how the duke and duchess of sussex a job abroad. iam the duke and duchess of sussex a job abroad. i am sure that has come from them rather than... what a brilliant idea. i am sure both of them can figure it out. they both love botswana, don't they? africa is the next place, the world is moving south and east. it is the perfect place. they probably will create their own sort of thing while they will promote this region of the world and let the rest of the world know that these countries are becoming places, and it will be good. i liked the line about harnessing the phenomenon of the royal rock stars. because they are! every time she wears anything, immediately they fly off the shelves, and she is a big brand ambassador for fly off the shelves, and she is a big brand ambassadorfor british brands.

they will shine the light on that pa rt of they will shine the light on that part of the world, and that is the up—and—coming part of the world. they are doing things their way. whether they can get the privacy that they often want and demand, particularly with a child as well abroad, where perhaps the press might not be cooperative. one wonders. i think they would just like to be there and do their own thing and make a contribution. they had to do something. they have to find something, because already we now know they have opened campaigns. the sunday times ‘s warning about the use of liveable — left liverpool asa the use of liveable — left liverpool as a password on your laptop or computer. this made me laugh. it is no laughing matter. it is no laughing matter. it is no laughing matter. it is horrible. it must be horrible. but they say the problem is liverpool fans use liverpool as their password are the one to keep on being hacked followed by chelsea, and then it goes on to say various

other people have been hacked, and a lot of people, 23 million people worldwide were hacked because they use 1231156 as their password. people think passwords are for them to get in. that is the end result. the password is for encryption on the other end. if you allow someone to get in there, you have broken it. they think it is about opening their account. it is the opposite. it is to close your account. adele has divorced. is that news?” to close your account. adele has divorced. is that news? i think the point about adele is that she said, she gave an interview many years ago saying that she needs some kind of heartbreak to write really good songs. she said, i am heartbreak to write really good songs. she said, iam happy, iago out, i don't like records, and she actually said if i ever get married, it is going to be, darling, i need a

divorce, it has been three years and i have a record to write. it is sad because they have a child, and hopefully they can keep it on an even keel. accounts are saying her and her husband have been living increasingly separate lives. adele is in new york and he is over here. asi is in new york and he is over here. as i said, i think adele is famous for these breakup songs, really, for emotional... from an artistic point of view, i love a woman who is that magnificent. ok, people are going to be heard, but her art magnificent. ok, people are going to be heard, but herart is magnificent. ok, people are going to be heard, but her art is the first thing, and that, i think, be heard, but her art is the first thing, and that, ithink, is be heard, but her art is the first thing, and that, i think, is it. it was an absolute pleasure. thank you very much for taking us through the papers. happy holidays. yes, happy easter. that is tomorrow. thank you for watching.
