if‘ai‘it that comes to about enough. if all that comes to about the near continent development, wednesday night into thursday while the bill of the heavy rain stays in the bill of the heavy rain stays in the north sea, some may drift in towards the british isles to affect central and eastern parts during thursday. that is one to watch and we will keep you posted of course. hello, this is bbc news. we will be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first the headlines: 750,000 liverpool fans paint the town red as they welcome home the champions of europe for a sixth time. it's just unreal. you've got to be here and feel it and experience it to know what it really means to us. what he's achieved is absolutely brilliant.
11:31 pm
just unbelievable. president trump will shortly head to britain for a state visit, after making controversial comments about the conservative party leadership and brexit. thousands of protestors are expected to demonstrate against his visit. four british climbers are rescued from india's second—highest mountain, but another four are still missing. a cruise ship lost control as it was docking in venice, crashing into the wharf and hitting a tourist boat. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rachel cunliffe, comment and feature editor from city am, and rob merrick, deputy political editor from the independent. all of tomorrow's front pages are now in. let's start with the sun, and it says the prime minister is set for a showdown with donald trump, after the us president warned her against letting the chinese company huawei play a role in the uk's sg rollout.
11:32 pm
the telegraph reports that conservative leadership candidates are rowing back on theresa may's sg plans with huawei on the eve of mr trump's visit. the guardian says there is anger over comments by the us ambassador to the uk suggesting the future of the nhs should be on the table in any trade talks between the two countries. scientists are urging theresa may to challenge the us leader on his approach to climate change. that is on the front page of the i. president trump has denied calling the duchess of sussex nasty, despite his comments being recorded. that is in the metro. the financial times leads on the trade tensions between the us and china, with beijing increasing tariffs on american goods and launching a probe into the us delivery group fedex. and the express carries an interview with the boss of the nhs, who is calling on britons to make simple lifestyle changes in order to avoid dementia.
11:33 pm
so most of the front pages are dominated by the imminent arrival of president trump in the uk. rob, kick us off this time, this is the guardian. this story makes me laugh, because you would have thought before you went on tv, mr johnson had one bit of advice, don't make the brits any more scared, don't mention chlorinated chicken. so woodyjohnson goes on tv and says we're going to force you to buy a food, and we will attack your nhs when you are forced to do a trade deal when you carry out brexit. he didn't actually say that, of course, but that is what he meant. that is really helpful in clarifying debates, to be honest, because the fa ntasy of debates, to be honest, because the fantasy of hard brexit supporters, at least half the people running for
11:34 pm
prime minister, is that a trade deal can make up for what we lose when we leave europe. the starc truth is they will want to sell us their crabby food and attack the nhs, the two things they most want to do. —— stark truth. when we're in america we don't think we mustn't touch their chicken, so what is the problem? the problem is they have much lower food and agricultural standards and we do and the worry is it will push down our standards and the argument against is that can a lwa ys the argument against is that can always buy british and eu food if they choose to, but the cheaper food will be kind of the us version. i think it is the discussed factor. give us a choice would be the argument. that is what a lot of brexiteers have been arguing for, and with the nhs there is an argument that it doesn't matter who provides the services, whether they are state services, uk private companies or us private companies,
11:35 pm
as long as it is good quality healthcare free from the point of use. healthcare free from the point of use. however, we have a very visceral emotional use. however, we have a very visceral emotional reaction to that, andi visceral emotional reaction to that, and i think thisjust visceral emotional reaction to that, and i think this just epitomises some of the problems with the brexit debate, which is that many people who voted for brexit, to leave the eu, did not vote for lowering of food standards and for american companies to buy up the nhs. and thatis companies to buy up the nhs. and that is a question over our future trading relationship that politicians are going to have to confront. i suppose the other point here is how long any deal will take to sort out, because it is clearly quite complicated, isn't it? yes, i mean, the reason why there isn't currently a trade deal between the us in the uk, or rather between the us in the uk, or rather between the us and the eu, is that it fell apart over these very issues, particularly theirover over these very issues, particularly their over the health service, of course. and so yes, if it ever happens it will take many years, and there will be many other objections. 0ne there will be many other objections. one other objection that has been put forward, of course, is that
11:36 pm
congress which is now at least partly controlled by the democrats, will be very wary of sanctioning a deal which threatens peace in ireland, with the problems over the irish border. so it is a long way off if it ever happens. meanwhile, off if it ever happens. meanwhile, of course, what we will lose with our trade ties with europe will be immediate. huawei, this is the front of the daily mail. tories' huawei deal warning, this relating to donald trump trump's visit as he is saying we need to be careful of this company. are quite interesting question about who is the uk government at the moment, but called upon to rethink your decision to allow huawei to build non—core parts of our 5g infrastructure stop the ambassador and the us secretary of state have said that if britain does this, they will not share their intelligence with us. and now you have jeremy hunt and
11:37 pm
intelligence with us. and now you havejeremy hunt and sajid javid saying they would rethink or reverse that decision, which as we were saying earlier is unsurprising given they have both raised concerns in they have both raised concerns in the past. i think what this shows is that this visit is occurring at a time when we don't really have a government. we have a lame—duck minister, and any decision which is going to be made on huawei or a us trade deal or indeed on anything else is going to be taken by a very different set of characters than trump ‘s meeting at the moment. different set of characters than trump 's meeting at the moment. and this is a very important decision in terms of the relationship between this company and the chinese government and the implications of that. yes, i mean, it obviously surprised many people, didn't it, and the decision of the national security council was that this company could have at least the non—core aspects of 5g. company could have at least the non—core aspects of 56. it seemed very much to be a decision that theresa may had personally put
11:38 pm
forward. the way the wind is blowing appears clear. we don't know what borisjohnson's view is, appears clear. we don't know what boris johnson's view is, he appears clear. we don't know what borisjohnson's view is, he is appears clear. we don't know what boris johnson's view is, he is the favourite to be the next prime minister, but i imagine he would ta ke minister, but i imagine he would take a very similar stance tojeremy hunt. he is best friends with trump. so it is pretty clear that that decision is going to... it doesn't put huawei in a very good position, it doesn't help those of us who have a tablet from huawei. and there is a key by—election in peterbrough. the guardian has a front—page piece about this, and this is with particular reference to labour's candidate. there has not been much focus on this by—election on thursday because of all of the stories that are happening around it. but it is a crucial by—election. people might remember we are having it because the labour candidate went to jail for lying. it because the labour candidate went to jailfor lying. the it because the labour candidate went to jail for lying. the tories are in turmoil and in normal circumstances you would expect labour to romp home, trying to prove it will be the next government. instead, the result
11:39 pm
is clearly up for grabs, and here we have the issue that labour simply can't escape, of anti—semitism. so the next few days, in the run—up to that by—election, there will be problems with the candidate, lisa forbes, who has apologise for she said mistakenly giving the impression of liking a post saying that theresa may had a zionist, slave master agenda. she also appeared to have praised the facebook thread which said isis was created and funded by the cia and mossad. it will be very hard for labour to escape these problems in the next few days, coming up to the vote, and if labour doesn't win on thursday, it probably opens the door for brexit. that is where it will 90, for brexit. that is where it will go, on current trends, if labour don't win. they expelled alastair campbell for voting lib dem after the election, but have many people in their party who say unequivocally anti—semitic comments, and those
11:40 pm
people are suspended, possibly, and those comments are investigated and nothing really happens with them. but somebody votes lib dem, a position that many labour voters support at the moment, and are trying to push the party towards that, get instant expulsion. let me stay with you, on borisjohnson. what is interesting about this telegraph story is that we are arguably for the first time, not necessarily the first, but it's been nearly all about brexit, this conservative leadership race so far, and here we have something about domestic policy. it's been nearly entirely about brexit and how boris johnson is the front runner, although he has barely said anything oi'i although he has barely said anything on brexit or anything else. here he is saying he wants to put education spending at the heart of his campaign, at least £5,000 per secondary school, people pointing out the discrepancy between london and other parts of the country. just to stand up for london here, i am sure borisjohnson knows the reason
11:41 pm
for that discrepancy is the higher cost of living in london and the teaching salaries have to be slightly higher in order to keep london competitive. but the gist of it is more spending on education, sort of investment in young people, thatis sort of investment in young people, that is a good, strong domestic policy stop i don't think anyone is going to make the decision, any of the tory members or tory mps, as to who should be the next leader and prime minister based on policies like this. it is all going to be about exit. it is important, and we should be talking about it, and there are so many issues that we have ignored because of brexit, but i don't think this is a deciding factor. thoughts on that before we move factor. thoughts on that before we m ove o nto factor. thoughts on that before we move onto other things? yes, it's another fantasy. it might be admirable to talk about other issues but i don't think any prospective leader is going to get a hearing on other issues. borisjohnson is supposed to be having his big push, he has been quiet in the nine days since theresa may and elsie is resigning, he is supposed to be coming out tomorrow with more supporters and stamping his authority on the race, so it is very
11:42 pm
interesting he has not talked about brexit because the one thing he has said so far is he will not seek an extension, as prime minister. so we will leave, deal or no deal. that is seen will leave, deal or no deal. that is seen by some people as a mistake. he didn't really have to say that as a front runner. it seems to have lost him the support of centrist mps, so maybe he is trying to change the subject. he has come's endorsement, though. we have time for two more, if we are reasonably swift. 0n the front of the daily mirror, strictly offensive. yes, this is a reminder that in many ways this is a politician from another era, from decades passed. she went on tv and suggested that science could find, quote, an answer for homosexuality, which is clearly not a statement which is clearly not a statement which is clearly not a statement which is acceptable for a politician to make any more. she comes from an era when the conservative party had an openly intolerant policy towards
11:43 pm
homosexuals, section 28, and under labour that was repealed. she is harkening back to those days. she is not going to change her ways, clearly. i think the interesting thing is how nigel farage reacts to that. because of because she is now a newly elected brexit mep. currently the entire focus is on nigel farage and him alone, not the people alongside him, but when you get one european or local elections, lots of people elected alongside him had made very unsavoury statements about lots of things —— ukip. and lots of them ended up resigning and cause problems for nigel farage. two comments, one is that this is what happens when the brexit party doesn't have a manifesto, its only issueis doesn't have a manifesto, its only issue is brexit and therefore candidates are free to just make up their own policies, and now it is branded homophobic party because it has clearly a very homophobic mep. the second thing isjustine greening's response, the
11:44 pm
conservative mp saying we don't need a cure for love. obviously she is in a cure for love. obviously she is in a same—sex relationship, and that is very positive. 30 seconds, coffee. you can drink 25 cups of coffee a day and it is not bad for you, not bad for your heart, as much coffee as you want. this is research from queen mary university, doesn't cause heart attacks or strokes, probably written by scientists who were drinking quite a lot of coffee. i imagine good news forjournalists, good news for anyone who would rather get the caffeine straight into their veins. rachel only had 11 cups of coffee in the break between the first and second showings. thank you both very much. that's it for the papers tonight. don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online on the bbc news website. it is 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, rachel and rob. next on bbc news, it's the film review.
