has trebled since 2010. and on the front page of the times is an investigation revealing that google is making millions of pounds from promoting accounts on its search engine that refer users to "potentially fraudulent" schemes. that is a look through some of the pages. let's start off with the daily mail. rachel, kick us off. stand down, nigel. this is a tale of many elections. looking at what they have chosen to focus on and the daily mail in quite a dramatic about turn is calling on nigel for roger and his party to stand down or took and his party to stand down or took a step back because they risk opening the door to a shabby coalition of socialists, lib dems, scottish and welsh nationalists and basically undermining brexit. really interesting because this election
10:46 pm
has caused the brexit party and nigel farage to the about what they wa nt nigel farage to the about what they want more, do they want brexit? they have wa nted want more, do they want brexit? they have wanted that all this time or do they want to stay in the public spotlight and keep talking and build his own brand and be on the airwaves co nsta ntly 7 his own brand and be on the airwaves constantly? and he is choosing the latter. he has been hosting radio talk shows with donald trump and not standing as a candidate because that is too much work and he has almost been too much successful. and the conservatives —— conservatives are concerned that the support for the brexit party could undermine tory support and we could end up with a note tory majority and therefore no brea ks note tory majority and therefore no breaks at all. how ironic would that be? the brexit party actually blocks brexit. i know many tories are getting very under the carter —— call her about nigel farage. with him, it is a case of the ego has landed. he is an extraordinarily egotistical man and lots of
10:47 pm
politicians are but with him it is always about him. even switches parties in order to stay centrestage. not that i and all support brexit, the opposite but i do think if i were a tory member of the european research group or one of the famous martin to have taken this great stand to try and put brexit through, that i would be livid that nigel farage and his massive ego could potentially block brexit. what is you may then of him announcing he would not be standing? i think two things. one is he has run so many i think two things. one is he has run so many other times to be an mp and failed every other times of the safe move is not to run. secondly, what would happen if he won? he would have to be in a constituency and... and the work! work incredible he harder not be able to have this media career and go all over the world promoting brexit. he might have to make some compromises because if he was elected and if the couple a brexit party mps get in, are they going to go into some form of coalition with the conservatives
10:48 pm
but that's? which means nasty cover masses which is how government works oi’ masses which is how government works or the stretcher to the ideals and make sure they are the ones who ensure brexit does not happen. you have to stop his campaign to become us ambassador which president francis be runny for him at the moment. interesting in a report by alex for thoughts which you can see again from 11 p:m., she says the brexit party seemed more attractive when theresa may was in power. so that attraction to the party... as i say, i'm not a brexiteers but johnson, it baffles me why he called the election, he got his deal through parliament on the first reading. but i think 30 votes and so he has now can say he is in a position to put brexit three. so if nigel farage blosser, i think there will be a rich irony. let's turn to the daily express. labour vote colla pses the daily express. labour vote collapses in heartlands. labour voters will see this and make sure they go out and support labour, are
10:49 pm
they go out and support labour, are they not? this is the other side of the... daily mail has stand down, nigel because of might not be a tory majority and this is the definitely will be a tory majority. so there is no point in voting or you have to go out and void if you are labour. this is polling from yougov and be careful of the polls. i get it wrong every single time they have broken it down by region and shown than in all but two regions, the conservatives are beating labour and some of the labour heartland regions, the conservatives are ahead. and i think the couple of days of this campaign have not been great for the conservatives of that is certainly true. they've had a lot of u nforced is certainly true. they've had a lot of unforced error but have not been great for labour either. and they are in trouble too. like a football match was him who will score the most own goals and this course the least own goals will win. i agree with you that the suspicion of posters is very widespread and i
10:50 pm
believe that somebody in this room whose cat has rigid elections in the past and i believe that cat has made more accurate predictions than pollsters. we are waiting for the clear. she will again. talking about a phone call from let's turn to the daily telegraph and see that lord blanc it is saying that labour is ruining his chances with thuggery in anti—semitism and carping back to 1983, remind us why that year. 0h, sorry. i found out from reading this. i was there, sorry. i found out from reading this. iwas there, at sorry. i found out from reading this. i was there, at university and was a tepid michael flynn supporter, supporting the labour party but he was not a good leader. and for a numberof was not a good leader. and for a number of reasons. —— michael foot. he wore a ducky ticket to their member state ceremony and it took on an incredible importance. —— donkey jacket. the conservative majority
10:51 pm
under thatcher went from 43 up to 144 seats. the falklands war played a part in that as well but this lord comparing the possibility of this year plus a collection having a similar cataclysmic effect on the labour party is not to be sniffed at. he knows what he is talking about. he was part of the most successful labour premiership ever. tony blair is intimately related ever to have 13 elections. —— is the only labour leader ever. he knew that when the centre ground and the lack of realisation that you have to embrace why —— groups of people in order to when the despair. ronald reagan used to when the reagan democrats and you cannot win them down a street that the centre ground. incredible what you do read this he looked back at the 1983 in the comparisons are similar. talking here about alliances. there was the sdp alliance and the divisions in the labour party so the vote was
10:52 pm
very much water down. and also sort ofa time very much water down. and also sort of a time when extremes and people we re of a time when extremes and people were moving towards the extremes and that was why labour had that crushing defeat then. what i want to know from that year is did they have so know from that year is did they have so many gaffes and own goals with new candidates because that if something else that is happening. they did not have social media. something else that they know is that 11 labour campaigns have come under pressure to quit and many have quit over anti—semitic remarks or sexist or inappropriate remarks. we have the shylock coming from one of them who used a jewish hustler that he knew about that claim not to know that it was a jewish lawyer. —— a jewish slurve. we had other comparing israel to child abuse. —— jewish slur. the inability to deal
10:53 pm
anti—semitism in the party and they select a whole load of candidates who seem five seconds all of this was uncovered. another own goal there. i would hate to boost journalists but journalism there. i would hate to boost journalists butjournalism is the love a good research and you wish party to disable so they discovered a tory candidate a few years ago wanted twitter said that people on living benefits with channel 4 programme should be put down. and it is extraordinary the party is not many people more thoroughly. and i'm sure there'll be much more of this. social media has many positive aspects but it also leaves a legacy of idiocy from the past and the stupid things you may have said when you are drunk or young or stupid willjust come back to haunt you. and parties should really be investigating that more thoroughly. before we close this and move on to the telegraph, in response to this, labour has said that we have conducted extensive due diligence checks on candidates and we have taken checks on candidates and we have ta ke n swift checks on candidates and we have ta ken swift and checks on candidates and we have taken swift and robust action. but
10:54 pm
if their reaction to that. the daily telegraph has a picture of maurice johnson and matt you make of this placement i feel sorry. it is a great image. the look on his face, the really sad looking mop in his hand. the cleaning in progress as a metaphorfor goodness hand. the cleaning in progress as a metaphor for goodness knows what. hand. the cleaning in progress as a metaphorfor goodness knows what. it isa metaphorfor goodness knows what. it is a striking image. i feel sorry for the residents there. they have had a flood and emma have more johnson there doing a really cheap and cheesy photo off. he remind me a bit after the riots in london when he turned up with a broom in clapham junction and i thought that was so opportunistic, it is very cynical. and actually dreadful what has happened to the people in those areas and a woman sadly died today. and what shocks me is that in sheffield, the dam only repaired la st sheffield, the dam only repaired last year at a cost of more than £20
10:55 pm
million and they have already become inadequate. if that is not global warming, then what is? a different picture of what is going in and the north of england and perhaps a more realistic display of what is going on and what people are having to go through. flooding devastates swathes of england. as i say, it is a really shocking picture of what is happening and in great part of this country which seem unable through no fault of their own to deal with the massive changes that are being wrought on our climate and the way that it wrought on our climate and the way thatitis wrought on our climate and the way that it is altering the rainfall and the river defences in this country is going to take billions and billions of pounds to sort that. let alone carbon emissions which have got a huge do with it as well and whether we had here to our agreements in paris a few years ago. this is perhaps the biggest issue thatis this is perhaps the biggest issue that is going to be face to the selection but of course one in the list because brexit as always sucks everything else out of the room. to
10:56 pm
do with long—term planning and infrastructure. if your government and spend money on flood defences, no sign with a flood is going to become a it is cynical but true. spend money now and it may be another government that benefits from that. and that is just a one tiny aspect of our inability to make long—term plenty decisions in this country. also on the front of the guardian to finish us off here, private surgery for nhs patients under tories. this is the guardian going after the tories hard on the nhs and! going after the tories hard on the nhs and i think borisjohnson was quite nice to try and make the nhs a centrepiece of his campaign because the tories know is a weak point for them. actually i think the story is that negative, they point out all people who do operations and private hospitals but not on the nhs. they did not have to pay. so the idea that it did not have to pay. so the idea thatitis did not have to pay. so the idea that it is being sold off and privatise a people think of those words in the think it means having to pay for health care, he does not. it is still free at point of view. obviously a crisis in the nhs but also assign that on this battle greco labour and the s&p today are
10:57 pm
going very hard on the identity tories are trying to sell off the national institution. it is not true. i thinkjimmy corbett is living a disastrous campaign in many ways but the one thing where he really struck a chord of the people started chanting not for sale and there is an element and i don't make any comparisons with president trump but will use a chant lock her up about hillary clinton, the way that he is chatting with this offence —— audience in the part of the letter is for the quite electric. macatee said that the nhs will not be touched but we will see how that goes. —— matt hancock. for this edition of the papers from a thank you very much. james rampton and rachel cunliffe will be back at 11:30pm 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/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening, you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you, james and rachel.
10:58 pm
back at the top of the hour, see you then. certainly a drier day today following on from the slow—moving torrential rain that set across much of northern england and has caused all that flooding will stop the rain has eased away but the river levels will lag behind so many more hours of flooding causing disruption and warnings across northern england and north wales two. the rain is clearing away in a few showers across east anglia and those clear skies and mist and fog patches and sharp frost. already had temperatures as low as minus five degrees across aberdeen sure and quite widely at subzero start to your saturday morning. frost around first thing in rain arriving across northern ireland and some in england and across well some of that rain falling as sleet and snow of the hills and mountains. a winner in flavour and east of england and scotla nd flavour and east of england and scotland staying dry through much of

this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11. dozens of flood warnings in parts of england as a month's worth of rain falls in a single day. one woman was swept away to her death. the north of england and the midlands are the worst affected. people have been evacuated from their homes, with homes destroyed by the waters. the house is read from the bottom up. carpet, garden, everything is gone. the electric has been cut off. in edinburgh, the snp leader launches the party's election campaign — putting brexit and scottish independence at the centre. following the murder of a teenage girl in wiltshire, an 18—year—old man is been jailed for life. we hearfrom ellie gould's family. ten teenagers — including two fifteen—year—old boys — have been named among the 39 people from vietnam who were found dead
