11:34 pm
showers. hello. this is bbc news with shaun ley. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment — first the headlines. president trump has said he could "work with anybody" in no 10— nine days ahead of a general election. mr trump has been at buckingham palace, meeting the queen, before going on to downing street for another reception. greta thunberg has sailed into lisbon for a climate summit. scientists say the last decade looks set to be the warmest on record. the 12—year—old boy, killed yesterday when a car hit a group of children near a school in essex, has been named as harley watson. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are caroline wheeler, deputy political editor
11:35 pm
of the sunday times, and the assistant editor for the new statesman, george eaton. welcome back to both of you. many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. comments by president trump lead a majority of front pages, including the ft. it reports that he will wait until after next year's us election to reach a trade deal with china. the ft says that's spooked investors. but it's mr trump's comments about the nhs that have caught the attention of the guardian. mr trump's assurances that the us would not be interested in access to the health service, it reports thatjeremy corbyn is deeply sceptical, and if he and mr trump chatted at buckingham palace tonight would attempt to raise his opposition to any future trade agreement that including the nhs. —— included the nhs. coming from the opposite side of the political debate, the express leads on mr trump's quote that wouldn't want the nhs even "if it was served on a silver platter". the i focuses on the same story — and it too reports doubts by the labour leader about the us president's pledge to keep the health service out of a trade deal.
11:36 pm
in a different nhs story, the daily mail says that nhs bosses have slammed the aggressive promotion of online betting as half the population are now gambling and it's risking the health of young people. in other news, the metro describes the humble hero who helped save lives in friday's london bridge terror attack. lukasz k says he reacted on instinct. and the times has the headline sloshed on the slopes, as it reveals over 1,000 britons are injured daily during the ski season, because of drinking on the slopes. that is in the papers. let us look at the front pages. george, we have no interest in the nhs, says donald trump, it begs the question why it is the headline on the front of the paper. indeed. the telegraph describe it as an unexpected boost. the way think this will have, as less of a surprise to number 10. some of the other papers report this, you think this is what they
11:37 pm
trump to say and they carefully briefed. in donald trump has a stock to these strict. he is very keen to try to neutralise this labour tagline. two perspectives. 0n the one hand you can say this is helpful for the conservatives during the election campaign. donald trump saying we don't have any interest despite what he said in the past about everything being on the table. the other way of doing this, much more than a week from a general election campaign, you have the newspapers with the headlines of the nhs and donald trump. the nhs is very popular, donald trump is not popular. this is as dominant an issue as it is, as a fat, is not ideal for the conservatives. i'd totally agree with that. —— fact. the fact that we have seen his noise about the nhs being up for sale was jeremy corbyn and the labour party have kept on the front pages of the left—leaning papers like the mirror for ten days now and clearly they
11:38 pm
are going to build up to a crescendo when the president visited, so even though they seem to be dismissing the narrative, i think it's quite interesting that they are leading, particularly on the kind of right wing papers. the daily telegraph, very much a borisjohnson supporting paper, which he has written for, traditionally, and i just paper, which he has written for, traditionally, and ijust have a feeling that given the polling that we have seen and also the reason that labour have pushed this so much is that the focus groups to show that the british public are very suspicious about what could happen in this trade deal. just on the question. it is interesting that the telegraph had picked up on the suggestion that, maybe, the reason thatjeremy corbyn has these documents at all is because somebody, unhelpfully, linked them to him. these are provisional discussion papers about a possible trade deal. and they have got an interesting explanation or suspicion about who might have been responsible. this was sought to build upon by the daily telegraph
11:39 pm
yesterday, basically suggesting that there was a suggestion that had been russian interference in that these documents had been, in effect, doctored to support the narrative that labour were trying to push. the interesting thing to make there is a back story to all of this, which is there was a very particular researcher who had been requesting all this information and been given all this information and been given a redacted version of these papers, and then suddenly the whole lot were on the line. the reductions were... they were taken out and put online. athin they were taken out and put online. a thinjeremy corbyn lead in a little to the suggestion they may have downloaded those papers from the particular account. having read the particular account. having read the story about russian influence on it, basically it is a suggestion that a very similar technique has been used in the past. it wasn't conclusive but it is interesting that it conclusive but it is interesting thatitis conclusive but it is interesting that it is the daily telegraph, which is obviously very much pushing the conservative narrative, they have again drawn upon this as a suggestion. there is absolutely nothing here to suggest thatjeremy
11:40 pm
corbyn knew this had been interfered with and, actually, it has been a narrative they have been pushing up for some time. it is interesting that this has all been wrap up in this particularly, in terms of russian interference, we know russian interference, we know russian interference, we know russian interference hasn't always been a left—wing thing. you only have to look at the man on the front pages of most of these papers do know that russian interference was a massive story in terms of the us presidential election. we have had the prime minister saying there is nothing to see here. another business about we are not going to let that intelligence security rib —— intelligence security committee report because there is nothing be concerned about with russian interference. you could say he is not in the strongest position to let others on this. the other big thing we know is that vladimir putin and ross are a very —— generally quite keen on the idea of russia. above all, they want to divide europe and resentful all, they want to divide europe and rese ntful world all, they want to divide europe and resentful world in which you have these great power blocs facing each other. you could say, after
11:41 pm
listening to the nato leaders squabbling with each other in public today, they don't really need to make the effort. that's the reason they are here. but it is not nato thatis they are here. but it is not nato that is the nhs that seems to be dominating the front pages. expressed, donald trump, i wouldn't wa nt expressed, donald trump, i wouldn't want the nhs on a silver platter. it cuts both ways —— the express. people might say they are pleased but also what's wrong with the nhs? there was a row in the us about healthcare and there was a row in the us about healthca re and he there was a row in the us about healthcare and he said the dominic — — democrats want healthcare and he said the dominic —— democrats want our own version of the universal healthcare and over in britain they have the nhs, which is broken. it is hard for him to present himself as totally innocent. let's not forget where the rumours about this all began, which is in the state visit itselfjust this summer when the president was asked about it in that big press conference in the foreign office, i think it was at the time, and he was asked about it and he totally leaned into the fact that it would be on the table. and he quickly, after he
11:42 pm
had his knuckles rapped by downing street, appeared to distance himself from it. it is funny, in one of the comment somewhere he says i don't know where these rumours are started. well, mr president, probably with you. they all love having photos of donald trump and melania trump on the front page, and she isn't something that looks remarkably like a superhero's costu me. remarkably like a superhero's costume. it's very striking. she looks, i mean, to be fair, incredibly glamorous. she does this thing where she always has these batwing sleeves, again, you could see her flying off into the batwing sleeves, again, you could see herflying off into the night with. perhaps that is what she does when she has had a bit too much of twitter and the other things that come with the trappings of being married to the most powerful man in the world. the guardian picks up your point, george. i don't even know where it started. we want nothing to do with it, is as donald trump. indeed. i think nothing to do with it, is as donald trump. indeed. ithink forjeremy corbyn, in a way, this is a dream presidential visit. corbyn, in a way, this is a dream
11:43 pm
presidentialvisit. donald corbyn, in a way, this is a dream presidential visit. donald trump is one of the most unpopular us presidents in the uk that there has ever been. vallas popular than barack 0bama was also be used to be the case that david cameron would hope for a presidential visit from barack 0bama to coincide with the election. i think of downing street had the choice they would not have chosen, a much more than a week from the election, to have donald trump in london. i think they will be very relieved when he is on air force one, hoping it has exploded in the way it has. it is an active damage limitation for them. and for most voters, they will be uncomfortable, i think, of the idea that donald trump is talking about the nhs at all. caroline, labour leader pledges to challenge over the nhs. he did turn up to the palace. we were trying to remember. he has been two events at the palace before. i'm pretty sure that his privy council swearing in was at buckingham palace
11:44 pm
and am by the queen. the fact he is engaging with these events perhaps shows he is starting to listen to some of the advise from people saying he needs to look more prime ministerial. that actually being prime ministerial —— moments of this country, you can't snub these world leaders, you have to have a relationship with them. has put himself at the centre there. it was mentioned in one of the other papers that he didn't get to speak to the president this evening. there was some obstacles in the way and he did not get to have a conversation. but the very fact that he showed up... the iss the labour leader tried to confront him at the reception —— the i says. it has a flashing photo of jeremy corbyn and, again, not surprising. it's a much busierfront page when you look at it, there is more going on in it. quite a lot happening. yes. that is the line, dominic raab admits that us firms
11:45 pm
could charge higher prices after brexit. the significant thing about this is the prison after brexit is going to be in a much weaker negotiating position than the us. essentially that they will have severed close relations with their largest trade markets and the us, still the largest economy in the world stop and this, i think, is why when labour raises this issue... crosstalk. however most the conservatives or donald trump himself now deny it, it has possibility to it. if you are going to have this deal done, you will have to make more concessions. the difficulty is that none of us know of what is likely to be quite a long process for all those optimistic we talk about a quick trade deal, what concessions both sides will seek and what the other sides will seek and what the other side will be prepared to concede. we don't want donated chickens. we may have to do can see something else in
11:46 pm
agriculture —— chlorinated chickens. equally we don't want them to have a voice in the nhs, so we may have to concede someone else for them to back off on that. and within this document, one of the stories that was teased out earlier, this kind of ta ke was teased out earlier, this kind of take on chlorinated chicken. how you could sell it to the public, which is obviously going to raise alarm bells. if you think about the whole kind of arena that the nhs falls within, farming is massive in the united states. it is massive here. to suggest that you wouldn't want to do something around the pharmaceutical industry, people find it hard to believe. the nhs itself is so totemic, such an institution, so anything that even skirts around the edges of that instantly becomes a worry to the general public. and as i've said before, it does worry voters and they think that's why labour are successfully managing to keep it on the front pages, even if it's not exactly the way they would wa nted it's not exactly the way they would wanted to be presented. we move onto the sun. this is a very interesting story. this is the tests. the
11:47 pm
assessments of comparisons of comparisons of children in school in key subjects. british schools search up key subjects. british schools search up the global league table, says the sun. is that how we we have gone to 14th now in science. these are positive indications. michael gove said much of wanting to improve performance in these rankings but i think that parents and teachers would have other concerns. i think they will say for instance that there is evidence british schoolchildren are unhappy than others, teachers are under immense pressure, increasingly they see kids turn up who have not had
11:48 pm
breakfast, whose parents cannot afford to buy them a new school uniforms and problems about that. in the general context of education, where we have often had bad news story, this is more positive. a concern about a rounded education, that we do not want to be to exam and test driven. in a way that will always be concerned. you have three children is yourself of school age, do you find this sort of thing at all useful? in terms of telling me how they do? i have a slightly different perspective. i am a com plete different perspective. i am a complete control freak and i think it is useful to a certain extent. i am not desperately surprised by this because i can see from my children's learning reading, writing and maths
11:49 pm
is very much the staple. from a very young age. they come home with their reading books, an emphasis on reading books, an emphasis on reading with parents and back to basics and that has been my experience. i was expecting a lot more all singing and dancing extracurricular but it is driven by very traditional... the framework will change quite soon and the move is going to be away from the traditional subjects and back to the humanities which is interesting, given the fact that the idea we want to compete with china has always been at the forefront of wanting to been at the forefront of wanting to be climbing up these league tables. it will be interesting to see whether it works with that moving away from the court subjects. it doesn't worry me sometimes, particularly with boys, you do not wa nt to particularly with boys, you do not want to turn them off education and learning anything sometimes with the
11:50 pm
very structured and traditional subjects, you run the risk of turning children off at a very young age and it is not going to help them later on in life. it might help them with the gambling, better understanding of odds and things like that and i mentioned that as a shameless link to the final story, the front of the mail. i was quite struck by this. we initially saw this as a small part on the telegraph but it caught the editor's iat telegraph but it caught the editor's i at the mail because they have gone beyond this. never mind the nhs, the election, the ca nary beyond this. never mind the nhs, the election, the canary coloured bat wings. 5396 of adults are gambling. probably more than i would have guessed because we have seen a lot of antigambling campaigns. it is a big political issue than it used to
11:51 pm
but the keys that gambling is much easier than before. you can subscribe to all kinds of services. it is the old ansah of having an at hand. —— ansah. it is the old ansah of having an at hand. -- ansah. it would be interesting to see how boris johnson would respond to this. he is of the view to let the people do what they wa nt view to let the people do what they want and it is the nanny state but here you see the daily mail, traditionally a conservative paper, that this is an issue of concern and it is almost a moral issue.|j remember, at the end of the labour government, blair— brown, there was going to be a way of regenerating economies and it caused a huge problems... it was the daily mail
11:52 pm
again that came up against it. it was interesting because one of the super procedures was going to be in blackpool and was going to regenerate a really deprived area of the country and it was a really big strong backlash against it. the thing about this which is interesting, maybe it is because of the national lottery but it actually excludes the national lottery so these are things people are doing on these are things people are doing on the smartphones. all the opportunities that have come up with smartphones. 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. thank you, caroline wheeler and george eaton. goodbye.
11:53 pm
hello. i'm ben croucher with a round up of the day's biggest sports stories. starting a turf moor where manchester city beat burnley 4—1 in the premier league to climb up to second — eight points behind liverpool. for a day at least. adam wild has more. if manchester city are feeling the heat, election night in december is perhaps an unfamiliar place to do so. but for pep guardiola's side these are unfamiliar moments. much has been made by the recent drop points but he was gambled jesus with a reminder ofjust how brilliant the champers can be. these that opening goal in the first half what filter could be the first of many. another only a matter of time. it came into the second half with perfect position byjesus the second half with perfect position by jesus once the second half with perfect position byjesus once more. only struggling to get close to city. little anyone could do to stop this
11:54 pm
effort from rodrick. with a fourth, city came almost without a challenge stop until robbie brady found a goal from nowhere. it made little difference. if city were feeling the head, this was the perfect response. we finished 1— four. it happen against newcastle as well the performance was quite similar. good, control. we considered just two shoots on target. in general, we are in good reason, in good tempo. we could have used the ball better second half and we did not get used to their quick movement and play. we did not get the same distances right. first half hour distances
11:55 pm
we re right. first half hour distances were better, defensively. but this can happen in the premier league, particularly against the sides. it isa particularly against the sides. it is a bunch of 50 million pound players and they normally cost that much for a reason. crystal palace produced a resiliant display to beat bournemouth. they had mamadou sakho sent off after just 19 minutes for this challenge on adam smith. jeffrey schlupp scored his second goal is as many games to seal the three points for palace. it lifts them up to fifth, five points off the champions league places. it's billed as the clash on the dunes. diriyah in saudi arabia hosts the biggest heavyweight fight of 2019. andy ruinunior and anthonyjoshua head to head afterjoshua's shock defeat in new york injuly. the former world champion says he's fully prepared this time. it was an unknown test, i give the man his credit, he was victorious, well done to him for that. now it's my turn to kind of right my wrongs. he thinks he is probably going to do the same thing and get the same result, but i have had to check myself, reinvent myself
11:56 pm
to a certain degree. not physically, i have always been dedicated to the gym. mentally, understanding exactly what i'm doing as soon as i step into that boxing ring. snooker‘s uk championship is continuing at the york barbican with seven time champion ronnie o'sullivan safely into the last 16, after a 6—2 win over thailand's noppon saengkham. o'sullivan has won the last two uk championships despite struggling with a foot injury picked up running, still managed breaks of 97, 76 and 65. he'll play ding junhui, twice a winner of the tournament, next. world number six mark selby is also through. he came through a tight battle with martin o'donnell, taking the final two frames in a 6—3 win in the evening session. that's all the sport for now. you can find more on all those stories you can find more on all those stories on the bbc sport website. from all of us at the bbc sport centre.
11:57 pm
we have quite a mix coming our way for wednesday. the satellite picture shows a string of cloud coming into western areas. the weather from bringing rain across western areas through the day. further south in eastwards, high pleasure influencing the weather. sky relatively clearer. a bit of ratemaking into western areas with strengthening south—westerly winds. a relatively mild start to the day. england and wales with clearer skies and patchy cloud. in the countryside, a few patches of frost and we could see an odd fog patch around. rain across the north—west slowly sinking southward reaching the north of both england and wales as we head into the afternoon. dry and bright to the east of the weather front but still quite cool. 6—8d. further
11:58 pm
north—west, milder. the three conditions in western scotland. later in the week, through thursday and friday, the weatherfront focusing heavy rain into the north—west of scotland. around the western highlands we could see up to 100 millimetres over the high ground enough to cause impact with localised flooding but it is not the only place that will see rain. through thursday getting into northern ireland, england and wales. from the south and east, more cloud but still try and bright. south—westerly winds spreading across the uk and turning milder. if you think recent notes have been really cold and frosty, thursday night will be anything but. a very mild night with temperatures around 11- 12 mild night with temperatures around 11— 12 degrees for most of us, the reason? the wind coming in from the south—westerly direction but as we go through friday, we start to get
11:59 pm
north—westerly winds spreading through the north—west of the country and, with that, cooler. mild for the midlands, southern england and east anglia with temperatures reach 12— 13 degrees. the week and it should start off on a dry note with some sunshine. sunday more u nsettled, with some sunshine. sunday more unsettled, cloudy with rain at times.
12:00 am
