hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster lynn faulds wood, and anne ashworth, associate editor of the times. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the observer goes with jeremy corbyn's plea to mps to back him to stop a no—deal brexit. the mail on sunday leads on borisjohnson's response to mps who want the pm to rule out a no deal — he's saying that they are undermining the uk's position. the sunday telegraph follows the same theme, reporting that downing street is calling mps trying to stop the uk leaving on the 31st of october "dishonest". and the sunday express looks ahead to the prime minsiter‘s tour

of european capitals, it claims he will warn he is not bluffing when he says the uk will leave with or without a deal. let's start with the cartoon, on the front... this is a lovely cartoon. i hope it is on the screen. thank goodness, it is onlyjury duty. i thought i had been selected to lead a national unity government. we are all laughing but there weren't that many laughs when we looked at those front pages. it is all about brexit and all about apparently totemic moments because today, stephen barclay, the secretary now know

that, signed a commencement order to end the rule of eu law and he has been shown with a very, very impressive empty dispatch case and is slightly naff looking file with just one sheet of paper in it, very ostentatiously signing it. it is supposed to be a symbolic moment for brexiteers, that we are ending our relationship with the eu. it is kind of like the divorce papers, although we know it is not as simple as that, not as simple as getting out a very nice fountain pen and signing a nice piece of paper. this is downing street saying mps are trying to stop a no—deal brexit or delaying brexit even further are being dishonest. the sunday express has a different ta ke the sunday express has a different take on it. it is talking about borisjohnson squaring take on it. it is talking about boris johnson squaring up take on it. it is talking about borisjohnson squaring up to the european leaders saying, give the uk

a better deal or you risk a historic mistake. he is going to visit them, he is going to visit france and germany ahead of the g7 summit in biarritz, which is later, is it next week? next week, very nice resort. we don't know what he's going to go and say to them, beyond putting a gun to their head saying we are leaving on october the 31st, unless you give us a better deal. they want to stasis some way in the common market, i hope. maybe he is calculating things have changed somewhat since theresa may has started these negotiations. germany seems closer to recession, they are

very concerned and a hard brexit is damaging for us, but it will also be damaging for us, but it will also be damaging for us, but it will also be damaging for the damaging for us, but it will also be damaging forthe eu. damaging for us, but it will also be damaging for the eu. that may be, i surmise, that attack that mrjohnson takes in these negotiations, saying it is in the interests of everybody in the interest of your economies, that we bring this to some sort of satisfactory conclusion. indeed... an awful lot of headwind is facing the global economy and the economies of eu and britain since theresa may gave up her job. of eu and britain since theresa may gave up herjob. it could be that is what he uses. this article also goes on to spell out this tussle going on between you know the executive and the legislator. you have the government and parliament each trying to seize control of the process. and failing. a vote of no confidence which would bring down the government, and then downing street source telling the sunday

express , street source telling the sunday express, if that happened, the prime minister would trigger an election that would be held after the 31st of october. therefore, parliament will have no way of stopping a no—deal brexit. what he is now calling the rebels, think there is a way to stop it, they can stop it before he gets there, but we have had a vote of confidence with theresa may, several of them and they failed. it seems to me, there is nothing new in these stories, we haven't seen before. there is a shooting up of the rhetoric, calling your colleagues dishonest is an unpleasant thing to say to people, to whom you would wa nt say to people, to whom you would want to bring with you, particularly if there is a snap general election, that you want to win. boris johnson cannot afford to be a prime minister who stays in the job for a matter of weeks or months only and you know,

he has, at some point, to bring some unity to his party. this is like a game of chess to me. he has seen we arejust game of chess to me. he has seen we are just split down the middle as a country, as parties and this is going to be difficult to reach a resolution. he has planned, i think, to have theresa may, have a go at it for three years, fail and now he comes in at the 11th hour and says we are out, no deal out and i think that has always been the plan. but i don't see still, from these papers, how he's going to achieve no deal. don't see still, from these papers, how he's going to achieve no deallj wish anybody who had a plan a or a plan b would have executed it. we have seen a new idea emerge, jeremy corbyn putting himself forward as a potential caretaker prime minister of the governments of national unity. the sunday papers suggesting

that idea is going further and further into the realm of being unlikely. he is pleading with mps saying this is the way to stop no deal, back me or it will be too late. if i wanted you to do something, i wouldn't say nothing to you in advance and suddenly you would get a letter to say, i am the best person to do this. it is the wrong way to go about it, he has not tried to bring them with him, he has just sent out this letter. it is ha rd to have just sent out this letter. it is hard to have face—to—face confrontations because mps are all over the country. there is face time. he is assuming the tory rebels hate borisjohnson more than him, which is hugely unlikely. if you are a tory rebel, you may be discontented at the moment but you will not be the person who is accused and loses your seat because you put jeremy corbyn accused and loses your seat because you putjeremy corbyn into number ten. how he could ever presume they

would wish to back him is to me a mystery. but so much of this is really. they backed him to lead the labour party, which was unlikely and he got that. the problem is now he is asking to lead a government of national unity, only temporarily, but how do you get him back out again once he is in? this is where the great ken clarke comes in, a man, who quite correctly said today, he isa man, who quite correctly said today, he is a man who doesn't have any real political ambitions. he could bea real political ambitions. he could be a man to lead a government of national unity and he is happy to do so. national unity and he is happy to do so. so we might see the great flowering again of that career. if you were tremendously interested in politics and one of these people who loves the ins and outs and all the posturing and everything like that, this would be thrilling. but as i said before... it is thrilling,

anne. we never normally have this much politics in august. you do start longing for the silly season. i want to read a ludicrous story, that made me laugh. have we got one of them? no we haven't. this letter apparently, more than 100 mps say parliament should be recalled early and it is not acceptable to stay in recess while all of this is going on and the clock is ticking as we approach the deadline of the 31st of october. also, people think they have gone off for a lovely long holiday. but actually, mps are still working when they are in recess and there is no reason why they shouldn't get together in a recess. it is so easy now with technology, to talk to each other. it is crazy that this is being done as if

nothing can happen until next month when parliament is back. we could go all night on brexit, but there is another story on the front of the observer, a very pertinent issue of technology racing ahead of regulation and the law struggling to keep up with what technology can do. police halting trials of facial recognition systems. interesting story, we learnt during the week the massive developments around king's cross, beautiful development, gorgeous cityscapes being created there. but as you move around that area, facial technology is recording all your moves. not the police, this is private. yes, the shock and consternation that news has caused has led to the police starting to say look, let's stop and think as to whether we actually need more of this. if we are to have this kind of technology recording our every move

with no certainty as to how that data can ever be used, to be sold, for example. the article spells out, the intentions behind this seem good. they were piloting a scheme with kent and west midlands police to trace missing and vulnerable people using this technology. but that could be the thin end of a wedge and we should have a public discussion about this and hear why the police want to halt it. i work with the police locally because i am a local neighbourhood watch person and it is very important we are able to track the same people who are trying to rob houses or steal cars. do you think there is a danger, we we re do you think there is a danger, we were talking about this on a policy level and people in westminster talk about it, we talk about the theories of data protection and things but if people in your neighbourhood watch scheme were happy to have it because it would make them feel safer? they

are happy to know we talk about it and decide what is the best way of doing rather than create cowboy country where any private developer could set it up. people need to be aware it is happening. the consternation is not disapproval, i think people would acknowledge it could have many, many good effects, but they want to know it is happening. it could have many bad affects, so we need the discussion. but in the meantime we are just talking about brexit. important we are not going back to brexit but the home secretary talking about sentences for attacks on police officers. this awful situation has been very prominent over the last few days and this, the figure there, the averagejail term for few days and this, the figure there, the average jail term for assaulting a police officer is just two months. is that all? apparently so, that is

what priti patel is saying. it is something that should be discussed publicly and i was always going to say a review, but i did a review for the government but it got kicked into the long grass about three and a half yea rs into the long grass about three and a half years ago and it was a very important review, the things that happened at grenfell and the block of flats at hammersmith. we should be discussing this at a high level are not just having be discussing this at a high level are notjust having the home secretary. but this murder of pc andrew harper, i wonder if public opinion has changed and i think the people will be very dismayed to read thatis people will be very dismayed to read that is the kind of penalty you get. i dare say priti patel will have a lot of support with what she is saying. priti patel, she is a very divisive figure but when she talks law and order, a great many people will be nodding in agreement. and in

a way, this may seem like a slightly opportunistic, but a lot of people will say, quite right. we are being softened up, i suspect for an election with talking like that so we will see a lot more about this. let's bring in a science story. this is remarkable, possibly in three yea rs is remarkable, possibly in three years pig hearts being able to be transplanted to humans. at the moment they are thinking by the end of this year they may be able to get a pig's kidney into a human. i have a pig's kidney into a human. i have a personal interest because my niece has had a kidney transplant. i did a quick straw poll with anyone i could grab hold of out there and actually, there is a lot of issues about using animal parts and we talked about that earlier. but at the same time, for anyone who is going through dialysis, you would dojust for anyone who is going through dialysis, you would do just about

anything and if a pig's kidney turns out to be the best solution in the short term until we get 3d printing kidneys and hearts. hearts are much more difficult because you cannot just rip the heart out of somebody, so just rip the heart out of somebody, so ifa just rip the heart out of somebody, so if a pig's heart turns out to be the solution, then there are people, 280 people on the waiting list for hearts, and most of them may die on that waiting list, it put you into a different sphere of thinking. this is pretty controversial because there is a new awareness of animal liberties. we went out to try and find as many vegetarians or vegans and ask, would you take a pig's heart? some of them said yes, even though they are vegetarian but i don't think that would necessarily be the case. it depends how ill you are and the light is off in your

life, it can
