hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster, henry bonsu, and the assistant comment editor at the telegraph, madeline grant. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in and many focus on developments on the campaign trail today. labour and the conservatives have turned the election into a public—spending bidding war, according to the guardian, with their pledges to invest billions in capital projects. the daily telegraph says jeremy corbyn has been "branded unfit to lead" by four former labour mps, who told voters to back borisjohnson instead.

the daily mail carries the same story — with the headline — "the labour veterans who plead: vote tory!" under the title "boris‘ britain", the mirror shows 88—year—old jill woolley, one of the victims, it says, of cuts to the nhs. in other news — the financial times claims that french president emmanuel macron has opened a rift with germany and other nato allies weeks ahead of a vitalsummit, by warning that the alliance is suffering "brain—death". and alongside its election coverage, the times reports that more than 60 years after his death, the hollywood star, james dean, will star in a film about the vietnam war using a digital avatar. let's start off with the vote conservative. saying jeremy corbyn

rebels. already a pretty extraordinary time in politics. it is where the labour party has come out and encouraged traditional labour supporters to vote not for jeremy corbyn but for borisjohnson, saying that is the only patriotic way to behave considering the warnings that have come from the reports of anti—semitism being ignored and what is interesting about this is the individuals come from slightly different wings of the labour party and although i am convinced thatjeremy corbyn and mcdonald's team marked these people as blue labour. during the labour this morning they're discussing the decision from the labour party it was a traditional ally of gordon

brown and historically to the left of the labour party so it does give a sense of alienation from all sides this parties. and there are four because we have been concentrating on two today. is a people may not be aware but also how big of a deal this really is. blue meat for the daily telegraph. the big question is, how much of an impact will it have and how deeply the cut given that these are not the most high—profile labour mps. in three cases to go from do not fit for jeremy corbyn, full for boris johnson, the architect of some kind of ha rd johnson, the architect of some kind of hard brexit or maybe there's going to be a deal. i do not think that will cut through those labour party voters but the long—term

tradition, because the level of distrust from conservatives of aborts variety are up in millsboro, stoke, a lot of those places voted brexit at love those areas are so far to the 805 number four from the time of keith joseph. far to the 805 number four from the time of keithjoseph. so they're 5aying time of keithjoseph. so they're saying that certain people should not be allowed to read in the mid—705. so i think it will be a big a5k mid—705. so i think it will be a big ask from the daily telegraph to 5u5pect ask from the daily telegraph to suspect that these four guy5, ask from the daily telegraph to suspect that these four guys, as 5ignificant suspect that these four guys, as significant as this might be will be able to cut through and 5way significant as this might be will be able to cut through and sway the labour party voter5 acr055. able to cut through and sway the labour party voters across. how much of the deed thing is personal? quite a lot of the deed thing is personal? quite aloti of the deed thing is personal? quite a lot i think. we note that they feel thatjeremy corbyn a lot i think. we note that they feel that jeremy corbyn really has not ta ken feel that jeremy corbyn really has not taken this really 5eriou5ly at all. and he left that the parties some time ago. but it is easy to brand him them. make it may not, cut

through to those marginal 5eat5 a5 the tories are hoping, but the take away from this may be that the pressure that it puts on other moderates than the labour parties to pick a side because now that there's been this public disavowal from highly respected figures within the party and people who have already essentially left, it really does hold their feet to the fire on whether or not they can continue to support a prime minister and this is the point they treated me very clearly that essentially, there's nowhere to hide if you are endorsing a labour party, you're also endorsing jeremy corbyn and there is no two ways about it. the article before we move on, in fact if you can move on to the metro, the metro i think the headline really does describe how it may be coming across. but he offset some very critical comments to make against jeremy corbyn and mainly pointing to

his threat to national security and thatis his threat to national security and that is the metro. let us now turn to the guardian labour in tories wa nt to to the guardian labour in tories want to warrant spending. yes, this is very interesting because of course, you would expect labour in their manifesto at any time to be able to say we are going to borrow to invest to grow the economy and so we are fiscally responsible for the labour of yesteryear. but john mcdonald, the man who would be chancellor5 5aying mcdonald, the man who would be chancellor5 saying that this is traditional red socialism. chancellors saying that this is traditional red socialism. this is what people want and what we will give to them but the tories appeared to be wanting to outspend labour and i suppose they're trying to atone for the nine years. they say that but if you look at some the figures, sajid javid was planning to spend... i completely agree and before there was this danger were if you try to

engage in a bidding war with conservatives that you would always be outbid by the labour party. they are never going to say that we spend less per year than the conservatives, but there are quite significant differences in that spending. but it is quite an interesting time for me at least as a free marketer, it's quite a depressing time because whoever gets in charge will be taking us back to 19705 in charge will be taking us back to 1970s levels of spending. in charge will be taking us back to 19705 levels of spending. pointed to the fact that we are having to rewrite the fiscal rules in order to get this down. sajid javid. tearing up get this down. sajid javid. tearing up the rules to allow spending because borisjohnson, i suppose he would call himself a real free marketeer. big tax cuts, but sajid javid may have his finger on the pulse and things that would not be wise because it would look as though we are tearing up the kind of rules the conservatives have always been

known for. but it is interesting to see where they think the public is at this particular time because the public are sick and tired of nine years austerity. they don't think they have delivered a growth for everybody and that the factor in brexit as well, not exactly what kind of brexit we are going to get. if you're going to have a deal. and a lot of the spending projections are based on continued growth but if the economy shrinks, we will not be able to do the stuff. so what does that mean? prudence, there is still some prudence coming from mr sajid javid. in the event that they have chips and —— chosen to spend this money, they have pledged for the lowest, that is in the manifesto. yes, borisjohnson with his, what he calls boosting, spending on wisely

chosen infrastructure and tax cuts of the same time. it is a fairly new conservative policy. staying with the financial times, what do you make of emmanuel macron criticising nato or rather the allies? she is trying to be the european tough guy. donald trump flicked away some dandruff on the shoulder, and peter townsend. he is trying to pivot away and present himself —— present himself as mr multilateral. being able to stand up to russia and the united states and wants the germans to step up and visit the gdp on defence which the germans for a variety of reasons have basically been reluctant to do so. they do not wa nt been reluctant to do so. they do not want to be militaristic and he is saying that we have to be serious now, otherwise we are brain dead and sleepwalking. we cannot rely on the usa. i do not think he talks about

more spending, hejust usa. i do not think he talks about more spending, he just talks about more spending, he just talks about more military integration and without mentioning what that there's going to be some cash pumped in and almost seems like angela merkel is saying that we need to stick to staying under the wings of the americans and i think to me that it's the new balance of power in europe at a time where they feel that judging europe at a time where they feel thatjudging by the last europe at a time where they feel that judging by the last few weeks, they can no longer rely on donald trump to safeguard their interests. there are two competing visions here, when is angela merkel which is on the side of prudence to keep the usa on their side and many reasons why they do not want to up their spending to the 2%, but hardly any countries in europe are doing this at all. it is really only four countries, poland, britain, greece and turkey doing this and they are suspicious of each other. very quickly to round off, how many bottles of wine you drink on the page of the daily telegraph? one

bottle a week. i have a quality meal and after being to the gym, a nice glass and that is the limit. and after being to the gym, a nice glass and that is the limitlj and after being to the gym, a nice glass and that is the limit. i am not much of a drinker during the week, midweek, to make you bench on the weekend, don't you? it is anyone's guess. basically, we all do most of the western countries. britain's drink hundred bottles of wine a year. says the daily telegraph. so says the organisation for economic cooperation and development and it is quite wearing the number of pensioners seeking treatment. a lot of loneliness. baby boomers. medicine for the pain. shall we discuss that further? that's it for the papers this hour.

madeline and henry will both be back at 11.30 for another look at the papers, and 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/slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. from us, that's all for now. goodbye. good evening. it has been the day of severe weather for some of us, not everywhere, some place of us, not everywhere, some place of us, not everywhere, someplace sensing the largely dry and for other places, particularly northern england has been persistent heavy rain that is cost a lot of flooding and across much of yorkshire, derbyshire, towards greater manchester and we have got almost a hundred flood warnings and severe flood warnings currently in force and that number is rising as well. the rainfall that we have seen through the day and it

has been persistent particularly for assault with a structure, derbyshire, that is what we have an amber warning derbyshire, that is what we have an amberwarning in derbyshire, that is what we have an amber warning in force from the mets office and of 200 mm of rain expected and we already have 75 mm of rain falling in sheffield. so flooding problems and travel disruptions in the zone. travelling towards the south, lagging behind the rainfall so flooding was still very much a problem through the day tomorrow. the clear skies are tonight, with the cool night with a lot of frosty starts to friday morning, foggy patches as well. if you want a flurries across parts of scotland. through the day tomorrow, band of rain will ease it will be light and patchy and becomes confined to eastern parts of england and most of the looking dry and much improved for the likes of sheffield, manchester and temperatures just about six to 11 degrees. a little bit below for the time of year. and a friday evening slowly will lose the cloud and shall remain from the

east and then clearing skies and light winds, it turns pretty chilly. so he can see the blue colours on the map that shows that they're going to have quite a frosty start to your weekend and saturday starting off on that pretty chilly note. and they will keep the clear skies across him what stuff eastern parts and cloud and rain moving from the west, some of that rain turning into sleet and snow over the high ground of wales, perhaps towards the southern pen nines in the day as well, but rain down at low levels. eastern england in northern scotland should stay dry but temperatures and single figures, so it is going to feel very chilly. in the second half of the weekend, low pressure just d rifts off of the weekend, low pressure just drifts off towards the near continent with a bit of a rest bite on sunday and it is looking like a better day of the week and, lots of dry and fairly sunny weather before the next band of rain sweeps in later but would light winds, temperatures around six to 10 degrees, it will be a chilly picture but at least it is looking dry by

sunday. this is bbc news, i'm lu kwesa burack. the headlines at 11pm: labour pledges to invest hundreds of billions of pounds in infrastructure like schools, hospitals and transport. social transformation fund will begin the urgent task of repairing our socialfabric begin the urgent task of repairing our social fabric that has been torn apart by the tories. the conservatives accuse labour of spraying money around like confetti, but they've promised to spend billions more, too, improving public services. there will be new hospitals, schools, railways, better broadband, new connections and opportunities for every pa rt new connections and opportunities for every part of our great nation. two teenagers have been found guilty of murdering jodie chesney in a park

in east london.
