10:32 pm
hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are evening standard's home affairs correspondent, martin bentham,and broadcaster lynne faulds—wood . many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. the sunday telegraph leads on plans in the conservative manifesto to cut hospital car parking fees. the mail on sunday has quotes from a former head of mi6 repeating his view that jeremy corbyn is unfit to hold the keys to number 10. the sunday mirror goes with labour's plans to restore pensions for the 3.8 million who lost out when the pensions age rose. the observer also leads on labour's
10:33 pm
pension plans. the independent looks at liberal democrat plans to target conservative ‘big beasts‘. and away from politics the sunday times says that the queen has cancelled prince andrew's 60th birthday party. we are going to start, tomorrow is the unveiling of the conservative ma nifesto we the unveiling of the conservative manifesto we will start with the telegraph, lend you want to kick us off? there are lots of stories, this will be the big one tomorrow. we have just had it for a few minutes so have just had it for a few minutes soi have just had it for a few minutes so i cannot tell you definitively what it will say but it is just awash with promises. i used to do watchdog, for ten years, world inaction, everything had to be accurate on the lawyers for new and there seems to me like it is such a wish list of lots of that needs fact checking and not by the
10:34 pm
conservatives, because a lot of the things seem to me to be overenthusiastic hopes of what might happen and it is repeating, there are things like, everything is written in really big language, the biggest ever pot hole filling programme there has ever been for the roads. they are going to have 20,000 police officers, ten years ago they got rid of 20,000 police officers and we will come back at 11:30pm and we will tell you more closely what it is about but it seems to me it is too superlative to be true. well, both parties, both main parties have got very extensive programmes that they are setting out a very extensive plans, labour 's is even more ambitious and even more
10:35 pm
spending so on. so yes of course i think everyone needs to have a degree of scepticism as to whether either party can deliver every single thing that it is proposing. if this isn't the most exciting headline, to axe hospital car parking fees for many, this is less than what labour want, they want to abolish the fees altogether. the conservatives are saying they want to do it for certain groups of regular patients, people who are always going backwards and forwards and disabled drivers and people like nhs workers and staff. their policy here is slightly less ambitious and there are all sorts of other things about no increase in the income tax rate, national insurance rate and so oi'i. rate, national insurance rate and so on. the triple tax law because they call it. and not one for example the
10:36 pm
issue is whether you have thresholds as well, you can have a back door tax rise without increasing the overall headline rate. i think the question ultimately will come down to whether people believe either party ca n to whether people believe either party can deliver what they are proposing because labour has an extraordinarily ambitious programme. that one is even more ambitious on the question is, on both sides, do you like what is proposed, you have to exercise scepticism and are they deliverable. some of these things probably are. also included, we understand it's a promise to return the withdrawal agreement bill to parliament before christmas and take us parliament before christmas and take us out of the eu by the end of january. us out of the eu by the end of january. this is get brexit done they keep saying but this is not getting brexit done, this isjust the first step on a huge ten year programme to disengage from a world
10:37 pm
we have been in for the last a0 yea rs. we have been in for the last a0 years. yes, if he gets a landslide i am sure he will get it through before christmas but if he doesn't. .. obviously what you say is right that there will then have to be potentially there is injury negotiation because it may not work, boris claims he will deliver within a yearand boris claims he will deliver within a year and that might be overambitious as well once the withdrawal agreement has gone through it if he gets it through, but clearly we have to leave before we can move onto the next stage. we cannot renegotiate everything in one go. it is not getting brexit done. it is shorthand for getting the withdrawal completed which is different to other parties. the big worry expressed by many people is what we will end up is hard brexit if we are not careful and people need to think very carefully about what they are being sold at the moment by any of the parties and is
10:38 pm
this what you want to happen? let us stay on the subject, we are still talking about the manifesto on the front page of the tories and mr johnson wants to unleash the potential of the country. what gets me about this and i am playing the role of sceptic here because i am one. iam role of sceptic here because i am one. i am from national newspapers as well and you stick a great big headline on the front page these days because not so many people buy papers and people can see at a glance where you're coming from and where the sunday express is coming from is selling new that to me could become yet another of the lies we are talking about in this particular election at the moment. my big christmas gift to britain, i don't think this is a big christmas gift andi think this is a big christmas gift and i think that it's a shame of the headline. well, i'm not sure it is a
10:39 pm
shame of a headline, it is part of it, no party is going into an election happily did december and whichever party, each party will claim they are offering a christmas gift, the lib dems would say they are offering a christmas gift of ending brexit if they wind the election. i don't think it is surprising and i think as you say, you have to look at it sceptically and wonder of the things can be delivered and from a conservative propaganda point of view, they will be pleased to see a headline of that sort there. it is up to readers to decide whether they accept it or not. the same could be said of the labour manifesto. the figures that we re labour manifesto. the figures that were thrown around there, magic money trees. land of milk and honey andi money trees. land of milk and honey and i wish that the parties would have a reality check on what they are actually saying. they know at the moment they don't have to deliver on this isjust the moment they don't have to deliver on this is just a manifesto, a snapshot in time and when you are in powerfor
10:40 pm
a snapshot in time and when you are in power for five years or whatever, reality comes in and they don't do most of the things that you have promised to do. let us turn to the 0bserver promised to do. let us turn to the observer and one of the things that labour is pledging is that he wants to write an historic injustice. i have a lot of sympathy for this. when they changed the age that we would retire at, 31 million women, anyway, 3 million, i'm newi would retire at, 31 million women, anyway, 3 million, i'm new i will get the decimal point at the wrong place, nearly a million women got caught in nets and there was no warning of it, they didn't get a chance to look for different provision for their futures and they have ended up without pensions. that is for a large part of their lives and this is women who were born in the 1950s who are severely disadvantaged and i don't think
10:41 pm
labour are going to be able to raise 15 billion to help them but these women have been fighting and they are getting no support at the moment as far as are getting no support at the moment as farasi are getting no support at the moment as far as i can see from prime ministerjohnson and labour are offering support but basically these are very valuable women who at the moment are performing a service as grandparents, looking after grandchildren, they are looking after elderly parents and they are being disadvantaged and labour are saying that they will give 31,000 backpay if you like to them for the top ones that have missed out on an average of 15,000 to them. martin, azla n average of 15,000 to them. martin, azlan said, i don't think that labour will be able to raise find the £58 billion to pay for this and it raises the question again, why make the promise? i'm not so sure they wouldn't, but it is like everything, if you spend that money, where else does come from? if they
10:42 pm
commit to doing it, you can do it, but it is more spending and actually you're probably right, in most cases, certainly in some cases, some people have not very much time, they had someone in, not very much time and not enough necessarily to rectify the situation and they lost a legal challenge on the grounds that it was rectifying an historic injustice against men, they would always retire later and this is rectify not the other way around and they lost a legal challenge on this, but the actual policy as to whether it is right or wrong was not part of that legal challenge and clearly labour understandably thinks that maybe people did not get a fair warning only want to do it. i think they can do it, but it is like everything, if they are doing that, they want to do lots of other things and do people believe they can do all of them? i know you want to carry on with this but let us turn to our next paper quickly. not the
10:43 pm
best headline forjeremy corbyn on the front of the mail, m16 chief again say he has a security danger. the first thing to say is he is a former m16 chief. it would be quite something if it was the current one, thatis something if it was the current one, that is an important point to make. he has one former m16 chief, i suspect there are others who would not say such a thing. he has said it before and incidentally on the eve ofan before and incidentally on the eve of an election as well. this is incredibly damaging to jeremy of an election as well. this is incredibly damaging tojeremy corbyn and the labour party, i am very balanced, i support nobody. this is a terribly damaging thing to have plucked out of the ether again. the allegation is that his past political activity, his association with all sorts of people whether it be the ira or palestinian militant groups and so on, it should never be allowed, he should never have access
10:44 pm
to sensitive classified information. that will be a line of attack certainly from the tory perspective, of course labour would deny that an jeremy corbyn with incest it could be trusted and so on. whether this is how much credence which should give to this particular individual warning is one thing and i think it will be part of the debate,. is it fairto will be part of the debate,. is it fair to raise point past associations do need be considered. i would have thought so. i used to have a ban the bomb badge about a0 yea rs have a ban the bomb badge about a0 years ago and i hope that does not come back to haunt me. there is another story on the front of the daily mail that we will cover at 11:30pm, we do not have enough time to dedicate to it now. lots of pages about it. it is a story that has been with us for over a week now i believe. and this is the duke of
10:45 pm
york. and quite rightly. there is a little tease for the next paper review and i hope you'lljoin for that. that's it for the papers this hour. we will be back at half past eleven 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 — 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk forward slash papers — and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on bbc iplayer. thank you. now it is time for the travel show. we start this week in copenhagen. by 2025 the danes hope this
10:46 pm
will become the world's very first carbon—neutral capital city. we sent cat moh to find out how they are getting on. denmark is a country that takes its eco—friendly reputation very seriously. it is claimed that more than two—thirds of their waste is recycled, and 30% of all their energy consumption comes from renewable sources. they even say the harbour is clean enough for you to swim in. not something i'll be trying on a cold winter's day. instead i am on a goboat, one of a fleet of electric boats available to hire here in copenhagen. it is charged back at the dock with solar panels. that means no noisy engines, and low co2 emissions. this green drive has had another added push, with the opening of a new tourist attraction — built on top of the unlikeliest of buildings, a power station. fuelled by waste and billed as one of the most environmentally friendly plants of its kind, opened last month, the copenhill spans more
10:47 pm
than a0,000 square metres. this slope i am on works its way from the bottom all the way up the side of the building, and it's open every day of the week for hikers, sightseers and even skiers. the ski slope is made from a slippery synthetic material which is coloured green to stop the slope from discolouring. they are still doing a bit of work up here, but look, right over there, that's sweden, which is very cool. and on the other side, we have this amazing view of copenhagen. and how did you guys come up with putting a ski slope up here?
10:48 pm
one of the things we realised quite quickly is that if you take a section of the building it actually steps down from low to high, from the area where the trucks drive into the boilers, the flue gas treatment areas, up to about 90 metres. the other thing about denmark is that danes love to ski, but denmark is completely flat. so they will drive for three hours to sweden to ski on a slope that is about 80 metres high. so we quickly realised that since we have mountains of trash apparently, we could turn it into mountains of recreation and skiing, that could become a public amenity in the very centre of the city of copenhagen. sustainability tends to be this thing that is seen as protestant act, something you do which means that you have to do less of something, that you somehow have to have less life experience. but what we really wanted to do with this project is express that somehow sustainability can be something that is positive and fun, and actually gives more back to people, and to the city.
10:49 pm
inside, a glass lift shows people the inner workings of the power station. and tours are available as an apres—ski activity. so explain to me what's going on, there seems to be a mix of leftover tree branches, but also general waste as well. that's correct. we receive waste from five municipalities, both from households and from industries, all the waste that cannot be recycled. how often do these trucks come, because there seems to be a steady flow, even just standing here for the past few minutes. we have around 300 lorries coming in on a daily basis. inside the waste silo, giant grabbers mix the rubbish before dropping it into the furnace. this is where the waste is being incinerated, i will show you over here, it is quite a sight.
10:50 pm
oh, my eyes! it is like staring into the pit of hell. the plant generates electricity, and potentially enough annual heating for 150,000 homes. we have waste in copenhagen, we will keep on producing waste in copenhagen and the rest of the world, so this is a product that is already here so we might as well use it for something reasonable, something that makes sense. back on the slope, it's time for me to get my skis on. can i borrow your boot for one moment? just one is fine, thank you. i have not been on a dry ski slope for maybe 15 years. you will have fun. i have been on actual snow. yeah, well it is quite different. speed is your friend up there. speed is my friend...
10:51 pm
yeah. i don't really know how this is going to go, if i am going to wipe out. laughs. i just want to make it down without falling over! screams. after that initial wobble, i was soon feeling confident. maybe a bit too confident. laughs. that went really well! and the copenhill is open now, to skiers of all abilities. and if you are thinking of travelling to denmark,
10:52 pm
rwanda has just topped the 2020 africa destination list, and i am here in the capital, kigali. the city is a hub for new start—ups, it has a buzzing art scene, and great local entertainment. but while most travellers whizz through here to get straight to the rwandan wildlife, i have come to see what the capital has to offer. welcome to rwanda! the city is impressively spotless, there is wi—fi everywhere, and perhaps most importantly, there is a real sense of pride bursting from every single person i talked to. this is thanks in no small part to the national made in rwanda initiative, a movement to support and inspire local businesses, and the made in rwanda label is now a badge of honour. this all reflects the new rwandan identity, no longer divided along ethnic or tribal lines. i am at the house of
10:53 pm
tayo, where designer matthew rugamba set up shop eight years ago. he has seen his brand grow in popularity since the launch of made in rwanda last year. he has even seen his clothes strutted on the red carpet of the premiere of blockbuster film black panther. i want to show the best of rwanda, there is a lot of undiscovered talent here. it is part of my mandate to utilise as much local talent and expertise as i can. it's very important that we build a local ecosystem of models, photographers, lighting experts, only when we do that we can say that we have a local fashion industry. tayo and other city designers are not only thriving here in rwanda, but are now selling their goods abroad. fashion is not the only thing that is growing here, thanks to the made in rwanda slogan. music and dance has always been a way for people to express themselves, and now, with the national revival, you can't go far
10:54 pm
here without hearing a drumbeat. inema is one of east africa's largest arts centres, with a range of rwandan cultural experiences. how do i look? good? i have noticed this real sense of pride to be rwandan. why is this dance so symbolic of rwandan culture? it is very essential for the kids to have some sort of identity, and to grow understanding of dance, their culture, it is very good as you move forward. well, i guess you can tell what's going to happen next. oh man, here we go!
10:55 pm
i think i made it through about half of that choreography. these kids are so good! i've had so much fun today getting stuck into rwandan culture. now i'm ordering a cocktail and i am about to kick back and enjoy a concert, rwandan style. i am here to see dayo perform, one of kigali's rising music sensations. the inanga is our cultural, traditional music. it is our history, it is our identity. many years ago it was getting disappeared. so i decided to introduce my music to the new world. such a beautiful sound. the lyrics of your music, what do they mean, what are you saying in your songs? i want everyone to know our culture,
10:56 pm
how we are doing, our history. if everybody listens to our story, where we come from, how we are going on. it gives the inspiration to other nations, so i want to tell the people about our country. this new generation of rwandans who have now moved on from the country's darker, violent past, are shedding light and colour across the country. and while most travellers rush through kigali, it is worth keeping some time aside to explore the people, their passion, and their crafts in this bustling city. hello for those of us who have had a wet saturday it looks to be drier tomorrow but before we get that there is more heavy rain and the forecast and this will slowly become confined to the east of scotland overnight and we have met office
10:57 pm
rain warnings in place edible star to ease from north—east england and equally the rain across england and wales delays elysium becoming increasingly patchy and away from the east of scotland most will become dry overnight but with a lot of cloud of mist and fog per visibility and temperatures well above freezing, typically between four and above freezing, typically between fourand 8 above freezing, typically between four and 8 degrees. tomorrow we have a brief and weak ridge of high pressure before another area of low pressure before another area of low pressure barrels in the south west later on tomorrow but we will start the day with a lot of cloud, mist and fog, some poor visibility in places, rain and east of scotland eventually becoming confined to the northern ice, wet and windy here for much of the day and elsewhere aside from a few showers, it will be a much drier day but with a lot of cloud on the best of will start the day with a lot of cloud, mist and fog, some poor visibility in places, rain and east of scotland eventually becoming confined to the northern ice, wet and windy here for much of the day and elsewhere aside from a few showers, it will be a much drier day but with a lot, higher where we see some sunshine and then it turns wet and increasingly windy across south west england and south wales as we go through the evening and it is all down to this area of low
10:58 pm
pressure and that continues to track its way north and days as we go into monday and we will start dry initially across scotland and northern ireland and the heavy rain across england and wales will start to make progress north and east through the day becoming more patchy as it does in the north of scotland probably is gay be mainly dry but some of that rain in england and wales quite heavy, some brighter skies and showers in the southwest and southern and another mall nine to 30 degrees. then we have another area of low pressure to deal with as we go into tuesday and this has the re m na nts of we go into tuesday and this has the remnants of what was tropical storm sebastien and will strengthen the went as we go into tuesday mainly dry and that rain slowly starts to push its way north and east, the when strengthening, particularly across england and wales, still mad, damages for most easily in double figures, ten to 13 degrees. as a week or so on, things will slowly start to turn dry, but also colder
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. i'm lukwesa burak. the headlines at 11:00: the health secretary says he'll block any attempts by gps to have home visits removed from their contracts. it isn't going to wash, it isn't going to happen. they say they want to negotiate to end home visits, but of course gps need to do home visits. the conservatives and lib dems attackjeremy corbyn for saying he'll stay neutral in any future brexit referendum. but the labour leader says it's the right thing to do. i think being an honest broker and listening to everyone is actually a sign of strength and a sign of maturity. a number of arrests have been following a mass fight involving over 100 people at the biggest cinema complex in the west midlands. police say some of their officers were assaulted outside
