10:40 pm
hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are nicola bartlett, the political correspondent for the daily mirror, and broadcaster david davies. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. "ourman in limbo." that's the lead on the metro after donald trump says he will "no longer deal with" britain's ambassador to the us, whose private criticisms of the president were
10:41 pm
leaked. the i carries the same story, with a focus on president trump's comments about theresa may's handling of brexit. he took to twitter this evening to say that it's good news that the uk will soon have a new prime minister. the guardian leads with those tweets from donald trump, but also reports on how paramedics saved the life of one of the salisbury novichok victims by administering an antidote which had never been used on a uk patient before. the telegraph leads with borisjohnson‘s pledge to fix the pension cap that means some high earners face tax rates of 90% with a knock—on effect that some doctors are refusing to take on extra hours. the conservative leadership candidate was speaking at a telegraph hustings event. deutsche bank shares fall by more than 5% as the global cull of 18,000 staff begins — that's on the front of the financial times. and the daily mail publishes findings from a report which it says
10:42 pm
reveals families have spent almost £15 billion caring for relatives with dementia in the two years they have been waiting for social care reform. that is a flavour of some of the front pages. let's dip into them now. let's go to the front of the metro. this is our man in limbo. we we re metro. this is our man in limbo. we were all kind of waiting for donald trump to respond to the news about the elite memos which were rather scathing should we say about him and his presidency, calling him insecure and inept. they were very frank because that is the idea of these kind of memos is to give a kind of honest assessment, obviously not designed to then be published. and he has come out on the attack as we might expect from him and has used his favourite medium of twitter. and basically said that he will not deal with sir kim at all now so hence the headline. but he has also said that
10:43 pm
brexit has been a mess and the only good news for his friends in the uk is that they will soon have a new prime minister. now there used to be a time, was it yesterday or the day before, when mr trump used to say the internal politics of other nations had nothing to do with him but i suppose time has changed. it is quite extraordinary but there we re many is quite extraordinary but there were many leaks from the white house about anything at all. it is quite extraordinary but there is a dilemma here, assuming the new prime minister, and let's not be too cruel tojeremy hunt, minister, and let's not be too cruel to jeremy hunt, but minister, and let's not be too cruel tojeremy hunt, but assuming it is the current frontrunner, there is a dilemma there for boris johnson. does he state with the current ambassador, with the repercussions, the reaction of the president that you might imagine from that or does he dismiss the ambassador which would seem like bullying from donald
10:44 pm
trump? what i am not clear about here is when the president says he will refuse to deal with the ambassador, on a practical level, there is not a great deal of dealing between president and ambassador. there are the president's staff perhaps. i wonder how much that would play out in practise. it is sending a very clear signal from him, whether that will filter down into the day—to—day dealings, this is the ambassador somebody who is very well embedded in washington and will have contacts he talked to from across the swallows of washington so in practise whether or not that happened, i think it would have been i assume well within borisjohnson‘s rights, if he is the next pm, to come in and change things with regards to foreign policy and so on. as you say, now he cannot really do that without being seen to could be lit -- that without being seen to could be lit —— capitulate. that without being seen to could be lit -- capitulate. he also said i do not know the ambassador, right? we, whoever that is, the royal we were
10:45 pm
i'io whoever that is, the royal we were no longer deal with him. whoever that is, the royal we were no longer dealwith him. the i and the wii, that is interesting. you hinted at this without the front of the i also goes to donald trump and twitter but decides to focus on what he said about theresa may and brecht it. absolutely for a rousing if the prime minister and it. absolutely for a rousing if the prime ministerand her it. absolutely for a rousing if the prime minister and her handling of brexit, and basically he says i told her how to do and she ignored my advice will stop maybe she has given him some advice that he might have ignored some i don't think he will ta ke ignored some i don't think he will take kindly on getting advice on the american government from the prime minister of great britain or indeed the president of france or the chancellor of germany. but it is, this is the world we are now living in. and this is the world that has been well chronicled. if you go to the us as i have been lucky enough to do several times over the past couple of years, they are assessed there with —— obsessed there with there with —— obsessed there with
10:46 pm
the internet machinations of the white house. it is a soap opera to also poppers. i suppose a mystery here is windows he mentioned this before, he does not think she is in a good job about brexit but why say it again now quickly can under state what he might be paid to about being called insecure and inept by sir kim but why go here, to?” called insecure and inept by sir kim but why go here, to? i think it is a very chaotic tweet as it were full so very chaotic tweet as it were full so he mentioned the state visit that he enjoyed but then he kind of had another dig at theresa may instead but the claim was the best bet. very much seems like the careful diplomacy between the two of them which was always quite difficult has been completely blown open now. many has been so sycophantic about boris johnson that i actually kind of puts him ina johnson that i actually kind of puts him in a tricky position when he comes in because he is not going to live up to what donald trump wants just because reality will bite. did
10:47 pm
you ever think we would listen the day that donald trump would be lecturing us on diplomacy? day that donald trump would be lecturing us on diplomacy7m day that donald trump would be lecturing us on diplomacy? it is quite extraordinary when about it. the other point here is looking for the liquor. and that is going to be... —— liquor. the liquor. and that is going to be... -- liquor. there was talk today about police involvement and there has been a criminal element. sir kim is not the one he was done anything wrong here. it may be embarrassing for him right now, but the person who is leaked it who is responsible for this and the government seem pretty keen to find out who that was. and the conspiracy theorists are in overdrive tonight for linking it to of course the brexit issue again. talking of brexit, the front of the independent is focusing on what the main trades unions are now saying about brexit
10:48 pm
and how it might influence labour policy which is significant. and how it might influence labour policy which is significantlj and how it might influence labour policy which is significant. i think it is quite difficult for people who are trying to follow the ins and outs of labour‘s brexit policy to perhaps realise this is a significant change. the five big unions had a two hour meeting today and our understanding is the significant element was the head of unite, the one who was sticking out to stop labour wholeheartedly and saying they would campaign for remain if there was a vote. the agreement seems to have been a bit of economize in that then the unions now back a second vote campaigning for remain but in the case of a general election, labour would support the result of the first referendum, to leave but on their own deal but once they had got their own deal but once they had got their own deal, than they would be a public vote. if you can follow all that. that is the element i was not
10:49 pm
clear on. of course. this is the calm before the storm. when we have a new prime minister, i mean is it not remarkable... dear member all those the last time we did not leave the you when we were meant to in march, well, you have got your deadline next time now get on with it and get it all fixed also what is happened since? we have spent however many months sorting out the internal leadership of the conservative party. we will pursue verbally have a prime minister in two or three weeks, oops, europe goes on holiday in august. september? something called a party conference, so there is a month, good luck. i think the taoiseach was saying today that not only is europe very much against another deadline and you cannot blame them at this stage, but if there were a general election within that would be seen asa election within that would be seen as a certificate enough reason to
10:50 pm
have one. so whether the is lucky or not, i'm not sure at this stage. let's turn our tension to the telegraph. they become a take us to what the telegraph was saying 0rest johnson would do. we have for them at this quite a lot this evening, the pension cap although it is a bookin the pension cap although it is a book in the nhs but has wider implications. apparently he will fix it. he will fix it for so he will fix brexit and he will fix the court's pursuing military veterans in northern ireland and will also fix education, he is part of the government that apparently has not fixed anything. i have no idea. this issue is a very real one for people on the ground whose operations have been delayed. and it is a very real dilemma. within the national health service and this is normally the time of year when the nhs and the trusts and the hospitals get a law of the work done that will of course
10:51 pm
be delayed in the winter months, especially when there have not been the past few years as awful they winters as we have known in some years. so this is a real problem and he does need to fix it. the interesting thing about this as we are talking about certainly in the case of those in the nhs affected by this about people who are quite well—paid. so it is a difficult... talking to various doctors bodies only are on come of that sense of trying to put across people that this is unfair when you are on quite a good wage. as you say, that has made people hard to some of that is with as it were but i think it is one of those many problems within oui’ one of those many problems within our tax system that... notoriously, located of course. government likes to twea k located of course. government likes to tweak things and play on the edges because they know how dangerous it can be to actually
10:52 pm
tackle the real problems. mainly because journalists kind of accuse them of doing all kinds of things. but it is and that borisjohnson, he had this big sale of a tax break for the highest earners, so it does the mackie has already made those kind of... mackie has already made those kind of. . . that mackie has already made those kind of... that is an ambition there. the good news he also said tonight he will restore britain's mojo. do you know what that is? a positive development obviously. know what that is? a positive development obviouslylj know what that is? a positive development obviously. i have no idea. there is a poll there were he said he would deliver a a0 seat majority in the house of commons if you lead the party whereas labour would be to be his party ifjeremy hunt backed —— facejeremy corbyn. they just paid hunt backed —— facejeremy corbyn. theyjust paid him to £75,000. let's go to the ft and deutsche bank and
10:53 pm
jobs going and shares following. this is really difficult for deutsche bank from a use number of jobs, 18,000 cut and they had to ta ke jobs, 18,000 cut and they had to take quite drastic action. i mean, in kind of simple terms, my understanding is that they have tried to grow the business into this us style investment banking and it essentially has not work for that they have overreached themselves and not been successful. and those who are paying the price are members of staff who have lost their jobs. 18,000 isa staff who have lost their jobs. 18,000 is a huge number.‘ staff who have lost their jobs. 18,000 is a huge number. a huge number across the globe particularly in london and in new york, as i understand it. did you not believe that our banks were back on a more sta ble that our banks were back on a more stable footing? i mean, those pictures cannot remember the lehman brothers pictures in new york when they were all out of a job and there they were all out of a job and there they were all out of a job and there they were today in london as well. there is not musty but they around
10:54 pm
for bankers normally. but today perhaps a bit more than usual. let's end with a couple of photographs and the telegraph to first. this is a very good photograph ofjoe anett kontaveit, who is now in the last eight. johana konta. she is flying in unseeded player tomorrow so her chance of getting the three finals are very real. i had the privilege of meeting johana konta just a few months ago. at the national tennis centre. for a radio interview. and around that time, she had also spoken to the oxford union and she isa spoken to the oxford union and she is a very, very impressive person in so is a very, very impressive person in so many ways. the way she spoke at the austin unit was especially impressive about the pressures which
10:55 pm
she felt and lived with but on the other hand, there is a worry that hercareer other hand, there is a worry that her career has been up and down, if she ever going to make a grand slam victory? perhaps this year it might be, might be her best chance. and a finalfall be, might be her best chance. and a final fall on be, might be her best chance. and a finalfall on tennis via be, might be her best chance. and a final fall on tennis via the metro. a photo of coco gauff who was not in any more but she has not done badly at 15. she has many good years of sinister, that picture sums up this woman she feels but she has run the biggest viewing figures for the uk audience will set really kind of ca ptu re audience will set really kind of capture the imagination which is great to see. her prospects are a bit better than ours i feel.|j great to see. her prospects are a bit better than ours i feel. i think her back and is a bit better than mine. that's it for the papers this hour. nicola and david will be back at 11:30pm for another look at the papers, and don't forget,

of scotland stays dry, clear skies and cooler conditions there in shetland and staying dry with some clear skies towards the south and southwest where temperatures will sit in the mid—double digits. as you go into tuesday, high—pressure trying to hold on in southern areas. these weather fronts across the northern half split the country roughly into two, but with rains i'm letting a bit more first thing, at least, the sunshine out in 0rkney and shetland but across the rest of the mainland and we will see outbreaks of rain, heavy bursts working eastwards during the morning and maybe just clearing away from the glasgow area by 8pm and the worst of those heavy bursts still raining at times in northern ireland and a downbust in england, north wales in the north midlands the rain not too excessive and some start the day dry. cloudy across with morning sunshine in the southwest down to the channel islands and here remains sunniest all—day long.
10:58 pm
in the limited area, plenty of cloud and that cloud enough to allow some of that strong sunshine to so do not be fooled to so do not be fooled by that, if you're to spend any length of time outdoors across the south because the cloud will thin later and we'll see some sunshine. overall, though, cloudy quickly in the north midlands northwards and will continue to see rain at times in northern ireland and scotland with heavier bursts into the afternoon which also cumbria into the evening. temps for tuesday afternoon or in the mid teens in the mid—teens and all have a scotland and could get to mid 20s towards a southwest. humid air will start to work its way with this apostolate went into wednesday, greater chance of some rain close to the southeast and east anglia and still fairly cloudy though england, scotland on the southeastern east anglia and still fairly cloudy though with over england, scotland and northern ireland and of the sunshine with immunity levels giving up and it will feel quite warm out there and that many rape pushes uses when northwards into thursday, showers to north and west across scotland and the fun of them england were no showers could become pre—severe with its rental thunderstorms and the risk of some minor flooding.
