hello, this is bbc news with lu kwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — but first our headlines. police release new images of the man they believe killed the journalist lyra mckee in northern ireland last week, and ask for help from the public in identifying him. lyra was observing riots in londonderry when she was killed. her death has prompted politicians to step—up their efforts to restore powersharing in northern ireland. lyra symbolised the new northern ireland, and her tragic death cannot be in vain.

sri lankan police find large amounts of bomb—making equipment as they hunt those behind the easter sunday attacks, in which more than 250 people lost their lives. and retailer debenhams confirms plans to close up to 22 of its stores next year, affecting around 1200 jobs. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us. with me arejoe twyman, director of the opinion pollster deltapol and claire cohen, women's editor at the telegraph. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the guardian leads with an investigation into online pharmacies, which it accuses of aggressive marketiting tactics
11:35 pm
to sell opiate drugs. the times says heathrow won't require some passengers to show their passports from the summer, following a £50 million investment in facial recognition technology. the daily mail front page features a story about labour leader jeremy corbyn — saying he is being accused of hypocrisy for refusing to attend a state dinner for donald trump. the mirror says eton college, the independent boarding school that was attended by princes william and harry, has saved millions of pounds through reduced tax rates, because it's a registered charity. and the sun reports that strictly come dancing's katya jones will not be paired with a contestant on this year's show — which comes after she kissed her previous dance partner, seann walsh. let's start our chat with, we will
11:36 pm
start with jeremy corbyn, and let's start our chat with, we will start withjeremy corbyn, and he features a number of papers. clear, kick us off with the front—page mail. quite literally, corbin is accused of snubbing the queen by the daily mail tomorrow, this is because he has refused her into her agent to a state dinner with donald trump. not the first time he has been accused of snubbing the queen, he is accusing the president of engaging in racist and misogynist rhetoric, and back on climate change denial. he does not want to attend the state bank it and vince cable and john be rcow have bank it and vince cable and john bercow have also so they will not attend. —— state banquet. his visit is ostensibly to mark the 75th anniversary of d—day, sol is ostensibly to mark the 75th anniversary of d—day, so ijust find ita anniversary of d—day, so ijust find it a little bit rude, bad manners to be honest, that at this time when the president is coming over, public opinion says that they don't perhaps wa nt opinion says that they don't perhaps
11:37 pm
want the one —— want the red carpet rolled out to him, but he is coming over for rolled out to him, but he is coming overforan rolled out to him, but he is coming over for an occasion that is actually very poignant to a lot of people, and for the leader of the opposition to snub the state banquet, i think it is bad manners and shortsighted for a man who wants to be prime minister.” and shortsighted for a man who wants to be prime minister. i don't think poignancy is necessarily something that comes naturally to donald trump though. to say thatjeremy corbyn is snubbing the queen is i think unfair, if the queen wrote tojeremy corbyn and asked him rafferty he would probably turn up. what he is doing is snubbing donald trump. he is in line with public opinion by a margin of 2—1, the public oppose a state visit, he has accused the us president of engaging in racist and misogynist rhetoric and backing climate change denial. these are consistent with jeremy corbyn‘s views and have been for an extremely long time. he doesn't like donald trump, donald trump i imagine, if he knows who he is, probably doesn't like him either. that's not the reality of politics is it,
11:38 pm
diplomacy? but he is not prime minister, he doesn't need to be nice to donald trump at the moment, you may need to be nice to donald trump in the future, but even that i think, he is hoping will not happen through circumstances in the us. he wants to be prime minister, he wants to lead this country through his version of brexit, there are some things you have to swallow, especially when it comes to a country we have a special relationship with, which we need to maintain, which is bigger than any single president. and a country we have to strike a free trade deal with. there was a report a few weeks ago saying the british people want a leader who breaks the rules, maybe this is it? (laughs). they were saying that, they said they were disillusioned, they want people who break the rules, they want change. they say they want someone who brea ks they say they want someone who breaks the rules right until the moment when the specific rules they wa nt to moment when the specific rules they want to be maintained are broken and then they get upset. it is more complicated than that. public
11:39 pm
opinion is on jeremy complicated than that. public opinion is onjeremy corbyn‘s side here and i don't think it would necessarily play badly with the public generally. i don't think it will play badly with his base. there are a lot of people on social media tonight praising his integrity. let's turn to the telegraph, and the article in the telegraph here, a little more of the text does explain why he is being called a hypocrite. they talk about democracy not in terms of inconsistency or lack of integrity on his part, it is simply that he has, as has been widely reported, previously met with representatives from organisations like the ira, hamas, hezbollah, but will not meet with donald trump. i think there is a false equivalence, i don't think the kind of meetings he has had with those organisations in the past are the same as a state banquet with donald trump. but clearly, there is a difference
11:40 pm
there. if you are talking about consistency the story does talk about how jeremy corbyn consistency the story does talk about howjeremy corbyn happily attended a state banquet for china's president. the point they were making here about china was china's position with the uighur muslims and their treatment of them. do you think, john bercow said he is not going, how do you think it will play out? there are so many distractions aren't there. i think this is something donald trump will revel in, the fact that the type of people he doesn't like don't like him and are vocal about it, he will revel in the fact that there are protests against him, because he will use that as something to fire up his base at home, and he will love going ina gold base at home, and he will love going in a gold carriage down the mall, just like the prince that he believes himself to be. let's not forget last year in an interview when he was asked what he thought
11:41 pm
aboutjeremy when he was asked what he thought about jeremy corbyn, he when he was asked what he thought aboutjeremy corbyn, he said "i don't know the man". perhaps you won't even notice. we will turn to the independent, and while the lib dems are saying they are in for another referendum, it looks like this has caused problems mr corbin, this has caused problems mr corbin, this subject. yeah, it is certainly the case thatjeremy corbyn has been what has been described as ambiguous on his party does not decision over brexit, where he was in line with public opinion on trump, he is against public opinion when it comes to his own supporters on the issue ofa to his own supporters on the issue of a final vote on brexit. there is controversy that has been reported in the independent because a leaflet, a d raft in the independent because a leaflet, a draft campaign leaflet for the upcoming elections does not mention a final say vote and a number of mps and meps have written to labour's nec asking whether there
11:42 pm
will be a clear commitment on this oi’ will be a clear commitment on this or not. three quarters of labour supporters support a final say vote. will he about a pressure? supporters support a final say vote. will he about a pressure ?|j supporters support a final say vote. will he about a pressure? i think you might, i think he should be very worried about votes from young people, i think a lot of millennials, who he had great support from in 2017 were very upset injanuary support from in 2017 were very upset in january when he support from in 2017 were very upset injanuary when he hesitated on this, and he is still hesitating now, and i think he should really make his mind up, i think it will damage him. do you understand his position on brexit? do you know his position on brexit? do you know his position on brexit? those are two different things... (laughs). historically he has always been against the eu, i would be amazed if that were changing. if theresa may was a reluctant remainder than i would say at bestjeremy corbyn is a relu cta nt would say at bestjeremy corbyn is a reluctant remainder if not an out and out lever. from a political point of view it has been expedient to have this fog of war around
11:43 pm
labour's position. never making it quite clear what is premised on what is not an which side they fall on. in doing that, not offending either side of the debate, because they do have a large number of leaves supporters as well as remain supporters. he is trying to keep everybody in the party happy, but he will ultimately have to come down on one side of the other. let's turn back to the telegraph, and there is a hunt on in the cabinet. i don't understand how the cabinet are conducting this investigation without the likes of the police or mi5, are they equipped to conduct such an investigation, where we are talking about technology? this is the story the telegraph broke earlier this week, about huawei, we are fiow earlier this week, about huawei, we are now having an enquiry, demanding that people who were at the meeting fill out questionnaires, they can go through text messages, you're right,
11:44 pm
this is a criminal style enquiry but it is not quite clear who is going to be actually going through the phones, going to be digging deep into this. from my point of view it is heavy— handed and into this. from my point of view it is heavy—handed and missing the main question, which really is about huawei and their suitability as a partner to introduce 5g to britain, and that is what needs an enquiry in my opinion, and if they are not thought to be a suitable partner, why is theresa may going against the re st of why is theresa may going against the rest of the national security council, and waving it through, or seeming to waver through? that question is being lost in a lot of conversations. i would love to see what these questionnaires look like. have you leaked important information from the national security council? someone text yes and scribbles it out. the whole thing is ridiculous to my mind, i don't know how you would go about doing this, maybe ijust don't understand it. the idea that you can
11:45 pm
get people's mobile phones and asked them to account for their movements, if someone is determined to leak this information they are not going to do it in this information they are not going to do itina this information they are not going to do it in a really obvious way. it is not going to be the kind of paper trail you would expect, they are going to delete messages or they could use encrypted services anyway. there are lots of ways to do this now electronic me that can't be traced, and so basically you are hoping that someone will confess. that seems unlikely. has the dialogue been approached by the investigation —— has the telegraph been approached by the investigation? i don't know, that is above my pay grade. it does bring up wide implications about press freedom and people being able to blow the whistle, we felt this was in the public interest and that is why we reported and it would be a shame as this —— shame if this heavy— handed investigation... shame as this —— shame if this heavy-handed investigation... there
11:46 pm
isa heavy-handed investigation... there is a difference between leaks generally and legs from the national security committee, which is an extremely important part of government involving lots of classified information, and if we can't make that leakproof than we are potentially in real trouble. obviously the subtext is a lot of people involved in this council are potential leadership candidates for the next tory leader, and that is the next tory leader, and that is the subtext of it all, so you wonder how much of it is they want to uncover who leaked, how much of it is the infighting and backbiting and getting their rivals out. let's turn to the times, you probably won't be needing your passport, some passengers, at heathrow. that is a relief because my passport photo is awful. heathrow is going high—tech and we will now have face prints taken when we fly, so we won't need boarding passes, we may not in our passports, we willjust have scanned images of our faces which will see us images of our faces which will see us onto planes, and they are as secure as fingerprints.
11:47 pm
no asian people know that at heathrow, you can scan through faces. this will do it as you are walking along and instead, you won't need to present your passport. that's the theory at least. at the moment, the technology is far from foolproof. it will probably never work. it does promise a reduction in a third of the time it takes to get through and certain periods of the holidays, they can make a real difference. as a frequent flyer, would you opt for this no passport? i would have a chip put in my arm. data concerns don't bother you?” have very little of interest. i would quite happily do that. they
11:48 pm
are already running something called global entry which allows it to go straight through, you're just using your fingerprints. straight through, you're just using yourfingerprints. there straight through, you're just using your fingerprints. there was straight through, you're just using yourfingerprints. there was iris scanning previously at heathrow that was withdrawn. it's really annoying here, there and everywhere. they've been trialling it with a second trial happening at gatwick as well. that might also suit after heathrow. easyjet trialed it last year. there is no suggestion you'll be able opt out of it. i have to say, when you're at the airport, you do expect a certain degree of scrutiny. it's the one place where you don't really mind somebody looking, scrutinising you. anybody who is less than honest or who has got ulterior motives, you wa nt or who has got ulterior motives, you want them to be weeded out.”
11:49 pm
or who has got ulterior motives, you want them to be weeded out. i assume it's just the same. let's turn to the guardian. there is a crisis in the guardian. there is a crisis in the us but it looks like something very similar coming to our shores. this is opiates, but on line. on line pharmacies have been urging customers via email to order more drugs, emailing them, saying stocks are running low, what they're allowed to buy is up and they are saying, you've still got some in your basket. all sort of things we associate with on line shopping but we're not talking about spontaneous spirit the moment purchases from asos here, it's something far more serious. we are in danger of sleepwalking into a crisis. you know what a devastating impact that is hard. the article says it did introduce rules to protect people
11:50 pm
from buying inappropriate drugs on line but it looks like the guidance hasn't gone far enough. if on line pharmacies are able to sell drugs in this way. the drugs we're talking about... . it talks about morphine, fentanil, oxycodone, tramadol. a lot of these drugs have been talked about his being at the heart of the opioid crisis and they are addictive so if you are offering to sell people addictive substances, then going through what the paper describes as inappropriate marketing tax external auditors sell more of those. i think the guardian is clear that questions need to be asked about this and it's perhaps an area where further regulation is needed. let us turn to the i. as a parent, i was not aware that my teenage son needs to have this vaccine. for
11:51 pm
meningitis. within talking a lot about measles. talking about health crisis is. this is about meningitis. it seems to be about, this is not people having, parents having kids vaccinated. there are lots of people who are now teenagers and students who are now teenagers and students who didn't get the new vaccine in 2015. those generally born between about 1996 and 1999 who should have been sent letters from their gp. this is a familiar tale. it's looking like, according to the i ‘s report, they haven't gone along to get this new vaccine. they are then getting meningitis. 30% of the young people are leaving school having not
11:52 pm
been vaccinated which seems like an unbelievably high number. the figures are astonishing. it tends to be certain areas and this is true across developed countries. whether you're talking about vaccinations or meningitis, you have issues with certain communities, certain regions not having the herd immunity that high levels of vaccinations are brewing and as a result, people's lives are put at risk in one of the greatest inventions of the last two yea rs greatest inventions of the last two years is not been able to help people who need it. it's been lovely having you here this evening. 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
11:53 pm
later on bbc iplayer. 0ur good evening, here's your latest sports news. 0ur liverpool have gone back to the top of the premier league — at least temporarily — after thrashing huddersfield 5—0 at anfield. naby keita scored liverpool's fastest premier league goal, pouncing on a poor pass to put the reds ahead insidejust 15 seconds. sadio made and mohammed salah both got two each, bringing their premier league totals to 20 and 21 respectively this season. the win puts liverpool two points ahead of manchester city, who play on sunday.
