been. across north america, early—season been. across north america, ea rly—season snow been. across north america, early—season snow to the us. part of that trust splits apart and ends up in the mid atlantic. what that does is encourage this to develop and if the patent in the jetstream forms areas of blood pressure and what that means for our weather is they will be no significant change. more rain orfurther showers will be no significant change. more rain or further showers on the way. hello. this is bbc news with clive myrie. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. turkey takes military action against kurdish fighters in northern syria.
11:34 pm
that area is needed for our safety and security for the syrian refugees to return to so they can go and live a normal life and there is no vacuum to be filled by any terrorist network. many kurds were seen to flee the area as turkish warplanes target towns and villages. for the first time in nearly a0 years the house of commons will sit in emergency session on a saturday, to try to resolve the brexit crisis. at least two people have been killed in an anti—semitic attack in the german city of halle. all thomas cook's stores are bought by hayes travel, in a move that could save 2500 jobs.
11:35 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the economics commentator, grace blakeley and the political commentator, giles kenningham. many of the front pages are in and many of them are focusing on colleen rooney that we will start with something completely different on the front page of... of the independent. the independent‘s front page reports on the beginning of bombing raids in syria, with turkey targetting kurdish forces the paper says have been ‘abandoned' by the us president donald trump. the financial times also leading on the same story, featuring a picture of a turkish military convoy near the country's southern border yesterday. back to brexit on the front of the telegraph, which says the eu is insisting there'll be no extension to article 50 without a new referendum, or an election. now to the big one —
11:36 pm
‘handwags at dawn‘ reads the front of the metro, reporting on the story that's had the most attention on social media today, the feud between footballer wives colleen rooney and rebekah vardy. the sun's leading with that same story — ‘waggro' between the two women, after colleen accused rebekah of leaking personal stories about her to this very newspaper. the guardian's cover teases a special investigation into the companies driving climate change, revealing the 20 firms behind a third of all carbon emissions. and the daily mail concentrating on falling rates of uptake for the mmr vaccine, issuing a plea for parents to ‘give them theirjab‘. let's start with the telegraph. inevitably brexit. no extension without a new referendum or an election suggests the eu. they think this is the way forward and have said so in numerous occasions on the path. we are reaching the end game
11:37 pm
in this. last week the account from number 10 was positive. they felt that no deal would be a disaster for ireland stop and they thought the ha rd ireland stop and they thought the hard brexiteers were coming on board and the dup. so far, though, it seems that you are heading to a stalemate. obviously johnson wants an election not a second referendum. at the moment public sentiment they say is behind johnson and he has been keeping his word and the establishment is thwarting him. but does that centreman shift if he does not get a deal? grace, isn't it clear that it is the irish leading this. they are the key and the other eu states will fall in line with what the irish feel is right for them because they do not want to be
11:38 pm
seen them because they do not want to be seen throwing a member state under the bay —— bus. so the irish are leading this. so tomorrow's discussion is important. of course. the member states will have a veto over the process and this is an issue of substantial importance for ireland given the concerns about the irish border and the peace process there. so ireland will have to play a significant role. johnson 's will be meeting with the irish prime minister in the north—west to discuss the issues tomorrow. the issue is that the president of the european commission is now saying there will need to be another election if they are to grant an extension. and that seems to be aligned with the interest of boris johnson given that he must respect the amendments regarding no deal and
11:39 pm
that would allow him to go for some sort of parliament election and he would like that to end in a position of allowing him to get some sort of deal through although we would have i'io deal through although we would have no idea of what the proposed solution would be. it is most likely to end. but if he does go for an election and he has not gotten a sell by october 31, how does that miss him up? it depends where public sentiment is. i don't want to call an election is what he says. he does not want to but this establishment supported him and he has to do this. but i keep true to my word. i think if he is still in that position i think the public, there is a good chance they will support that. one of the problems with may in 2017 was that it felt like it was just a naked politic for self interest. so
11:40 pm
it is key that they get that position right. obviously the dynamic of not having a deal means you still need to fight the brexit party which could split the vote in certain areas and there is a lot of speculation. but if you see a nonaggression pact at a local level it does legitimise the brexit party. you have out there that there is all this good stuff that is going to happen. these are the pledges. it is not just about brexit. happen. these are the pledges. it is notjust about brexit. clearly it isn't. there are a host of other issues being sidelined by the continuous discussion and monopolisation of the parliament agenda by brexit. borisjohnson... the coalition he needs to bend —— build has to include former labour vote rs build has to include former labour voters who voted to leave, particularly in the regions, rather than in london in the south—east.
11:41 pm
and to do that he promises things like infrastructure investment, building hospitals et cetera. but it is highly unlikely he will be able to get enough giveaways past the re st of to get enough giveaways past the rest of his party to convince many of those voters to break a decade—long habit of not voting conservative. having said that, those voters may choose the brexit party depending on the position of the labour party. the brexit party could be an option and then the option of some sort of nonaggression pa ct option of some sort of nonaggression pact would potentially pave the way for borisjohnson to pact would potentially pave the way for boris johnson to get the majority that he needs. although there are a host of problems with that, not least . not to mention the vagary of polls. theresa may had a double—digit lead entering the election. but that was such a long campaign and corbyn had time to catch up. but the poles are
11:42 pm
incredibly volatile and once again the accuracy of how they record data is not great because people consume news in so many different ways and their behaviour is changing. the independent. tories risk being torn apart bya independent. tories risk being torn apart by a no deal manifesto. this was floated by the stories in the spectator. johnson has always presented no deal is the option of he was unable to get his deal. he is keeping it on the table. this mythical table. but he will not be able to convince the vast majority of his party to stand behind a
11:43 pm
manifesto that explicitly advocates i'io manifesto that explicitly advocates no deal to do the problem for him will be that there are a couple of mps to his right to have a continuous incentive to outflank him or at least to attempt to outflank him no matter what he does. to stave off the threat from the becks —— brexit party and partly for ideological reasons. this will be a difficult balancing act for boris johnson although it is likely he will go into another election making promises about another deal if he we re promises about another deal if he were miraculously able to get, and again, the irish question about dealing with the backstop would be at the centre of that. i think we're seeing this on the way that donald trump behaves in the united states, the idea that you have a good cop bad cop. you have allies who put the dodgy stuff out there. no deal brexit, anonymous sources and that sort of stuff. and then the president himself saying something a little this aggressive or more aggressive and the allies do something else. we see that kind of
11:44 pm
trick here, put it out and who knows. i wouldn't quite draw that parallel although i do think boris johnson and donald trump are disruptive politicians in different ways and are a product of people and the failure of political statecraft. there are many cabinet ministers who would not campaign on a no deal brexit such as julian would not campaign on a no deal brexit such asjulian smith. damian green as part of a group that represents 80 tory mps. and europe splits the tory party and continues to do so. onto the times. banning food on trains. the chief medical officer wants that snacks fuel obesity. classic nanny state. they ta ke obesity. classic nanny state. they take a lead from japan is one of the
11:45 pm
least overweight countries does not allow snacking on public transport. as well—intentioned as this idea is, how do you enforce it estimate we already have a so—called ban on alcohol on the tube. are you really going to start handing people finds feeding a burger on the tube? are you saying you have broken the alcohol ban? i never have. buti would definitely break this ban. this is where it starts to be getting ridiculous. also talking about earning fast food at sporting events. normally flat popcorn and burgers and things that are bad for you. i suspect it is a good headline story but the problem is deeper. the doctors are saying the types of food consumed on public transport... fast foods... we know,
11:46 pm
statistically, that one of the biggest indicators of whether or not someone biggest indicators of whether or not someone is going to become obese and develop health problems because of thatis develop health problems because of that is politics. we do not have available cheap healthy food and a large portion of the country relying on food banks to sustain themselves. this is an issue that goes much, much deeper than people eating chips on the trip. having said that, there is nothing worse than getting on a bus and train and someone eating smelly food, i am looking at you, fella! digital tax. the smelly food, i am looking at you, fella! digitaltax. the ecd is going to crack down on tax avoidance and the idea of the likes of amazon, big tech firms, breaking huge amounts of
11:47 pm
money here but through clever accounting, they legitimately indulge in tax avoidance. quite frankly it is an issue of fairness andi frankly it is an issue of fairness and i totally support this move. companies like amazon are responsible for promoting the death of the high street and that should be some parity in the system. it has to bea be some parity in the system. it has to be a global solution for it to be successful. the french have incurred the wrath of donald trump who is threatening to blocade or stop importing french wine because the french wanted tax the big tech companies. but it has all been piecemeal. many of the companies are headquarters in america therefore taxed there. you mention the french
11:48 pm
example and the hammond strategy to deal with tax avoidance particularly with digital companies. this is also notjust with digital companies. this is also not just about multinational but many big multinational corporations that are able to declare profits in one jurisdiction that has low corporate tax rates even though most of their revenue turnover is generated in other countries. this potentially could benefit countries like the uk, european countries but also developing countries who miss out on huge amounts of tax revenue asa out on huge amounts of tax revenue as a result of the international tax syste m as a result of the international tax system not working. this is potentially a good step forward. the guardian, pollution. of the 20 firms behind a third of all global carbon emissions. doing this despite
11:49 pm
knowing the dangers. it names and shames 20 of the likes of bp and shell, saudi arabia topping the list. a lot of these are state owned companies so it is not the corporate sector and there is talk of global carbon tax as a way of cracking down. a really good piece of journalism. the environment has moved centrestage, especially amongst younger people. no surprises that the top 20 polluters essentially are oil firms, gas firms, they are fossil fuel bonus. this comes in the wake of some research earlier this year that shows 100 companies are responsible for 71% of total global emissions and there was a critique of that in
11:50 pm
the times that obviously these firms, mainly oil and fossil fuel companies, look like they are responsible for this and ultimately they are providing powerful consumers down the line and that is partly true but we also have to... it has to be in the context of the response conceded to the climate crisis, particularly in the way of taxes which are very aggressive, those taxes are imposed on the consumers while large multinational corporations and big state oil companies are able to generate huge amounts of profit from the exploitation of these natural resources and are not being taxed properly. this is a symbolic attempt to show who is making the most money out of this significant problem and, as long as it is profitable, this is not going to be something solved as long as there are people they can make money out of polluting. other
11:51 pm
any of these companies that are investing into renewables? they are claiming they. eight companies are publicly listed 12 state listed, claimed they are investing into renewables and bp says it is trying to sponsor electric charging stations in the uk but what we have known for a long time is that many of these companies knew about the potential on climate change as far back as the 60s and they have not done anything about it until it has become critical. it is like the tobacco companies and cigarettes. this is a cracking story. colleen rooney. elucidate a little bit on this. it is the battle of the wags.
11:52 pm
collin mooney accuses rebekah vardy of linking stories to the sun. she claims to have evidence that rebekah vardy is doing this. i expect it has got some way to run. it makes a nice breakfrom got some way to run. it makes a nice break from talking about brexit. man, i tell break from talking about brexit. man, itell you... break from talking about brexit. man, i tell you. .. this break from talking about brexit. man, i tell you... this feels like the type of thing that used to happen to me at school except it was not on the front page of the daily mirror. clearly, she is wasted... get around to brussels. miss marple. step aside, girl. we need colleen.
11:53 pm
all right, enough, enough. great job. it has been great to see you. 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'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 later on bbc iplayer. a big thank you to my guests this evening, grace and giles. and from all of us, good night. good evening. here's your latest sports news. wales battled their way past a ferocious fiji injapan, tojoin england in the quarter—finals of the rugby world cup. but scotland still have more to do, despite running in 9 tries to beat russia. in a moment, we'll hear from our correspondant andy swiss in shizuoka, but first here's katie gornall who watched wales in oita.
11:54 pm
wales always knew fiji could be great opponents and they were given a big scare in front of our big crowd. inside four minutes, the man they call the runaway train scored a try. fiji scored a second minutes later so while are really at this point under threat. while it managed to regroup. josh adams scored two tries before the break. they took a narrow lead into halftime and there was really no let off after the break. a bruising encounter. fiji we re break. a bruising encounter. fiji were awarded a penalty try midway through the second half and just as you thought momentum might be shifting towards the fijian, josh adams scored his hat—trick try. diving into the corner and that
11:55 pm
allowed wales to get a foothold into this game. lynn williams added to the scoreline with a fourth try securing the bonus point. wales running out 29 points— 17 and through to the quarter—finals. they have been through a hell battle here. a scorcher in shizuoka and scotland's fans arrived knowing the heat was very much on. anything other than victory against russia, and their world cup hopes would be finished. so how about this for the perfect start? adam hastings, son of former captain gavin, settling any early nerves. russia needed a comeback, but instead found only calamity. first a horrible slip gifted hastings another. and if that was a touch embarrassing, well, watch this. george horne handed a try on a plate, barely 20 minutes gone and scotland already out of sight. but crucially, they needed a fourth try and with it, a vital bonus point and soon after the break, they got it in style.
11:56 pm
darcy graham's brilliance setting up george horne once again and it wasjob done. from there russia was simply run ragged. with george horne going on to complete an impressive hat—trick. a thumping, morale boosting win, then, for scotland and a place in the quarterfinals could still be theirs. and so to what promises to be some showdown. scotland will now have to beat the hosts japan in theirfinal group game and even then it could all come down to bonus points. but at least their world cup hopes are still alive. andy swiss, bbc news, shizuoka. england are already through to the last 8, but their final pool match against france on saturday could be cancelled because of the weather. it's all because of this — typhoon hagibis. it's currently tracking towards toyko and it's expected to make landfall on saturday. that england — france match is in yokohama just south of toyko and it's the most vulnerable to the weather.
11:57 pm
scotland have their crucial last group match against japan at the same venue on sunday, but the weather is expected to have improved by then. we'll know more in the early hours of tomorrow morning. and finally professional sports—men and women often go into different careers after they retire from competing but i bet you didn't see this one coming. the former chelsea and arsenal goalkeeper, petr cech, is now an ice hockey player! that's right, the 37—year—old, who's still a performance advisor at chelsea, has swapped the pitch for the rink. he's signed for guildford phoenix until the end of their season. cech said it'll be "wonderful" to play the sport he grew up "watching as a kid". best of luck to him. that's all the sport for now. thursday starts off fine and dry
