hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the author and journalist, rachel shabi and deputy comment editor at the telegraph, madeline grant. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. if the deal is confirmed in some sort of agreement which could well leave the du p under abor spots. let's start with the financial times — it says borisjohnson is racing against time to secure a brexit deal, as he faces pressure from the eu for new concessions. the prime minister is increasingly optimistic that a brexit
10:41 pm
deal can be reached, as negotiators work through the night, to agree a text with eu. so says the telegraph, bu, he will still have but, he will still have to win over parliament, including the dup and the hardline brexiteers in his own party. that's the warning in the guardian. the metro leads with the resignation of the president of the bulgarian football union after last night's match with england was marred by racism. the i carries an investigation, which suggests taxpayers are shelling out billions of pounds on wasteful legacy pfi — or private finance initiative — contracts. the daily mail leads on an official report, which says breast and cervical cancer tests should be made far more convenient, to stop a collapse in screening rates. and the sun reports that tafida raqeeb, a 5—year—old girl with brain damage, has arrived in italy after the high court ruled she could travel abroad to receive treatment. so, a varied set of front pages — let's see what our reviewers make of it all.
10:42 pm
close to a brexit deal and now they have to sell it. what is this deal? i wish we knew. but it seems to be is that he has a concession from the eu, they're having very intense talks of the next few days whereby the stumbling block was always the backstop, well it was for this particular version of hard levers that are now running the government. that there is a way for northern ireland to both leave the eu with britain and therefore be part of britain's, the uk customer arrangements and and in practice pa rt arrangements and and in practice part of the eu customer arrangements therefore alleviating the need for a
10:43 pm
backstop and putting a border in the irish sea, as far as i can make out. so ifi irish sea, as far as i can make out. so if i was to eat chocolate now... line them up. it is pretty confusing, but we are not privy to all of the details of a small number of people are but the checks in the irish sea and a few add—ons that would hopefully, according to the government make it palatable to the erg and it is essential that if they are to getting kind of majority in the house and particularly the du p, there is talk of the northern ireland remained a part of the uk customs territory in order to reap some of the benefits that the uk might accrue from the free trade agreement and there is also talk of
10:44 pm
some kind of consent mechanism whereby northern ireland politicians will be able to reject the arrangement if there is no longer working for them, at several year intervals. but this does sound as if it is the eu who have taken the lead in all of this rather it is boris johnson who has made concessions because the eu suggested a border down the i received to theresa may. she said no. the original boris johnson deal with the suggestion that he was going to make it as far asa that he was going to make it as far as a veto for the du p was concerned was that the du p would have a veto and now it is the whole of the government. it is a sense that boris johnson is the one who shifted another european union. and there does seem to be that borisjohnson is kind of making this up as he goes along as i can tell from two weeks ago, he had to a completely different scenario. he has got a
10:45 pm
list of proposals and is working his way through them. let us assume that. it is as you say, the reason why theresa may did not go through this is because the du p were resolutely opposed to that end they described it as a blood red line. in all sources close to both camps say that this proposal and arrangement will be extremely difficult for the dup will be extremely difficult for the du pto will be extremely difficult for the du p to swallow and so we do not really know how it is going to go down, although they have not publicly said anything negatively about the so far. how is he sugaring this building for the du p? to give you a kind of device in which there will be able to reject the proposals that they feel was interfering with the constitutional arrangement. but that would be sinn fein and the other parties. they do not have a
10:46 pm
veto a ny other parties. they do not have a veto any more so has that sugar that them? that power resides in northern ireland and the fact that boris johnson's government lost its majority some time ago, that is obviously changing the dynamic because the du p are no longer the major power brokers, they can start to... we have had the nail on the head. we do not need them any more and that is the bottom line and he needs a deal. right? there is some significant movement from the eu sure that is not being entirely recognised and under the deal that was done by theresa may, there was a strong likelihood of them being trapped in a customs tester —— territory and. that is what theresa may wanted and if we pan out a little bit, what we can say about
10:47 pm
this deal is that it is quite a deviation from theresa may's deal. she was quite happy to be aligned to the customs union and borisjohnson does not see it as a good thing in the question is whether parliament will agree with that. i suspect that they won't, given what we know about how damaging would be for britain in its capacity to negotiate a future deal with the eu to not be aligned in terms of the customer union. or prevent them from reaching any new trade deals outside of the eu, with other countries, with all sorts. which deal would be better than the would get with the eu?|j which deal would be better than the would get with the eu? i am, it is a big trading policy, but my, i am pointing out that this is a trade—off, right? pointing out that this is a
10:48 pm
trade-off, right? is he going to get it through parliament was make if this is the plan, we are still not sure of me could be completely wrong. it depends on the dp, the initial noises from the optimistic group, not boiling hot but steve bakersaid group, not boiling hot but steve baker said they felt confident that they're going to reach a deal that they're going to reach a deal that they would in all conscience vote for and that is an early indication and they have not finished flushing out the proposals but getting the dp will be far more crucial because the erg do not have a huge interest in brexit happen one way or the other but the du p are not necessarily, they may have an investment and not wanting jeremy corbyn to become prime minister, for example. brexit is not their raison d'etre. racist get a kicking. the chief forced to
10:49 pm
quit overfor an get a kicking. the chief forced to quit over for an abuse but england wracked to. england were fined £57,000 for the wrong socks. what i do not remember what the team was but there were fined for racist chanting so it is worse to wear the wrong socks than to be a racist according to uefa. what is that about? that isjust about getting it spectacularly wrong, obviously. they have been charged over the bulgarian national anthem but the much bigger and more disturbing and appalling issue was the horrendous racism those coming from the bulgarian fans. unequivocally and they, bulgaria, the faa are now being
10:50 pm
investigated and a lot of people are saying, listen, if you're going to do zero tolerance, then do it. zero tolerance means that the minute you see something as despicable as we saw on that pitch, you need to disqualify that team from playing. disqualify them from the tournament. that is with zero tolerance means. the argument from sun is that punishing the whole of bulgaria and the football fans there for the mind this attitude of 50 or 60 people. one of the warring rumours i heard from the appalling incidence is that some of those responsible had been stewards of bulgaria who simply re move stewards of bulgaria who simply remove their high visibilityjackets and joined in. remove their high visibilityjackets andjoined in. in remove their high visibilityjackets and joined in. in order to really hit them harder and and joined in. in order to really hit them harderand make and joined in. in order to really hit them harder and make sure they know that this is intolerable and we will not support it. i think you really do need to throw the book at this kind of behaviour. obviously,
10:51 pm
english football, british football is not going to eradicated by any means, but we had huge problems like this recent decades and we got rid of it by and large, certainly nothing of this magnitude has been seen recently and it is about time that other countries in europe followed suit. financial times, going to syria on this one. empty zone, backing the syrian advance americans of pulled out and that is left a vacuum that was filled by them. absolutely brutal evacuation from america when they decided to withdraw us troops and by the way, appalling failure on the international community in the chaos that ensued because of course it left the kurdish population, including civilians, around a million if not more, exposed to advancing turkish backed forces. russia is now saying that they back
10:52 pm
the syrian advance, the kurdish forces who obviously routed islamic state from that region in northern syria and lost a lot of lives in doing so and were a part of the us—led coalition to do that, they we re us—led coalition to do that, they were faced with either being at the mercy of a turkish advance or saying to syrian forces that come in and help, there is not much of a choice, something done that, the russians are now backing that syrian advance and it is hard to see where this is going to end up, are we going to have forces clashing with russian backed syrian forces? that could eventually happen immediately. donald trump said he was elected on the mandate of getting american troops out of silly foreign wars. this is what he said and that it is
10:53 pm
up this is what he said and that it is up to the people who are there to deal with their own regional problems. design extends for the —— does that make sense of the united states for the type of the reliving? sometimes isolationism has huge far— reaching sometimes isolationism has huge far—reaching consequences of its own and it cannot be overstated and enough how this one decision from donald trump has spiralled so rapidly than everyone who was warning him against this movement was predicting. in one fell swoop donald trump has managed to empower every anti—western activist in the region and leaving behind the kurds who were our allies to do the fighting on our behalf and have in fa ct fighting on our behalf and have in fact been the reason barbies suffered fewer terrorist attacks in her home shores and now the escaping isis fighters is a problem. i would predict that the west will once again find itself under attack and
10:54 pm
this idea that isolationism, but you can act in isolation in an area like thatis can act in isolation in an area like that isjust a misnomer. you listen to his god endows the main thing for him. a quick look at the telegraph, —— he listened to his gut. him. a quick look at the telegraph, -- he listened to his gut. it turns out, iam -- he listened to his gut. it turns out, i am on board. i think what this is a scientist are attempting to monitor about life in the rain fore st to monitor about life in the rain forest and using minuscule cameras and as they move, they trigger an automatic selfie of the plant, so and monitored better that way. that isa and monitored better that way. that is a cracking story, what are you on about? rickshaw royals. rachel?” know you love the story. what i love about the story is that it is a great picture and we can admire the

way in the coming days. this is the short term, so the rain around five oi’ short term, so the rain around five or six short term, so the rain around five orsix in short term, so the rain around five or six in the morning and central parts of the uk are from london, the midlands, and into central scotland and so the early birds will catch some rain and we will see where it is around the seven or eight o'clock and then it will be in the east coast eventually on aberdeen sure and into that sunny weather, the wind will be light it will be a lot of sunshine around and 14 and 15 degrees, will feel quite pleasant but showers are lurking and this is the big low pressure that will be barreling across the uk during the course of thursday, friday, saturday and sunday as well. so you get the picture. to be quite unsettled right the course of the weekend. the start of thursday on a sunny note and central eastern and northern areas, so central eastern and northern areas, so peaceful first thing central eastern and northern areas, so peacefulfirst thing in central eastern and northern areas, so peaceful first thing in the morning. the low—pressure edges closer in the wind strengthens up to gale force and western areas and
