more they could become even more dangerous. the longer they are in prison. there all sorts of debates about there's very little evidence that this is lee —— this leads to reoffending, people are arguing about potential terrorist should be segregated from the rest of the population. we just don't know, but one thing seems clear is that they we re one thing seems clear is that they were around these debates because if you want prisons to be a place where you want prisons to be a place where you rehabilitate people, prisons need to be more research —— resource. the shadowjust secretary was saying any cuts in the police service and the criminaljustice and service and the criminaljustice and service has left all of that a breaking point. it's notjust the length of sentences, it was going on in our present. we've seen this particular government try to fund

the narrative as if they are —— the reality is we've had ten years of the conservatives in power in some way and wall the justice secretary is certainly trying to move people's attention to harsher sentencing which i think during the campaign got a lot of traction, there will be questions asked over the coming week as to whether some of these can questions —— issues could have been better tackled. i'm sure a lot of people will support what the government are doing because you had the london bridge attack and lots of echoes of each other in the early release of the perpetrator in both cases. i think it's a little more cynical to say the government is relishing the legal fight over this retrospective ruling because they welcome the chance to argue that we can't —— we should be stopped by this. it's a good line for the

government to say we're pressing for longer sentences. let's go on to the financial times. sajid javid set to miss a surplus target is a finance for a 12 miss a surplus target is a finance fora 12 main miss a surplus target is a finance for a 12 main pound black hole. this is britton public finances —— that's fda are suggesting. all those election promises we had for the government about new hospitals, all of which cost a lot of money and it requires lots of money to be with the chancellor. and they promise not to raise big taxes like income tax. there are some good news out of dabo ts, there are some good news out of dabo ‘s, the imf found that britain was estimated to grow slightly more than the european union over the eurozone, but estimates from the bank of england says it looks a lot

bleaker than bank of england says it looks a lot blea ker than the chancellor would like because the chancellor would have said to the ft last month that he was going for some pretty ambitious birth rates of 2.8%. if the uk were to hit that, i think it would be applauding, but even if he comes slightly under, there gotta be question mark ‘s as to why he didn't hit it. he has to go for growth and that's going to mean some big changes. probably improving the housing and planning system in the uk, certainly engaging in more trade not just with the uk, certainly engaging in more trade notjust with the eu but around the world. they have a lot on their plate this year. they're being there at this issue so how they manage —— there being very ambitious. this is sort of part two. this is the sort of fiscal impact of that. remember the conservative manifesto was saying by 2022, there would be a £12

billion deficit so how they swear that on the one hand, loads of spending rob mrs ann notion that we will be back in a surplus. —— spending problems. let's talk about, and this might be seem as an inside the belt story, but a few political journalists who appear to be banned from a briefing inside number ten, just talk us through this. it's complicated to those who don't know how these briefing works —— briefings work. there are now to in the afternoon, but they are sometimes additional briefings added to that and it is not necessarily abnormalfor a government to that and it is not necessarily abnormal for a government to select certain politicaljournalists come into a briefing. theresa may has done it, david cameron has done it. today they had one with david frost

who i think is a little bit different as he is a civil servant. he's the number ten europe of either and the uk's main man for negotiations. he didn't exactly d ivvy negotiations. he didn't exactly divvy up journalists between left and right, buta divvy up journalists between left and right, but a few publications we re and right, but a few publications were not as a result, the lobby journalists all decide to walk out. solidarity. trying to make a comment about press freedom. it may be more ofa about press freedom. it may be more of a westminster inside story and the government may not be cutting off all journalists from having briefings. this was a specific occasion which maybe has more question marks around it because david frost is a civil servant being date with taxpayer's money. a source was saying we invite who we want. it's up to us. that was their attitude. i say two things. that's

increasing irritation but the lobby as the lobby. there is no inner lobby or special lobby, you have the lobby. if everyone is gathered literally inside the door and you say... literally inside the door and you e literally inside the door and you say... they separated them, those who were and were not invited. what is interested is everyone walked out. this is now becoming —— if you think back to last friday, bbc and itv refused to air it. some suggestions, there sort of an air of trunk control sort of in this, the way the white house controls it.|j wouldn't go that far being from america, i don't think it's appreciated how much the prime minister and number ten have to be accountable. the concept of prime

minister questions does not exist in the us. the us president does not have to call a press conference if they don't want to. there's farmer access that the press have in the uk, not to say this was handled with any sort of way, i don't think the comparison completely adds up. any sort of way, i don't think the comparison completely adds uplj suppose the flip side is if the citizens are dealing with the brexit talks, he's going to go to the briefing. i think his position does have question. the daily telegraph suggests that the arrival of alexa is turning children off the radio. children are twitching off the radio and turning instead to voice—activated smart speakers such as alexa further information. i must say my son asked why i still have a radio. i like a radio! what's wrong with having a radio?|j radio. i like a radio! what's wrong with having a radio? i don't have alexa so i haven't experienced its delight yet but what the story is

saying, the more more children are turning to alexa both to get help with their homework and to tell them jokes. the numbers of kids listen to alexa have shot up in the numbers of kids listening to radio has gone down. arguably on alexa you can probably access even more music and podcasts stop tell me my mathematics, how do i speu tell me my mathematics, how do i spell this, that's a little bit more concerning than picking a publican learning. i don't think alexa could write an essay. let's end up with her majesty the queen who is back at work for the first time this year, carrying out some royal duties. she is on the red carpet. it's been a

bit of a rough time for her majesty. it was billed as her first official engagement of 2020 but in terms of unofficial engagement, she's been working very hard this year. it's wonderful to see her out and about, no doubt she has had some serious appointment this year. another wonderful reminder of how committed she is to what she does. even with all of it that played out in the beginning of january. she all of it that played out in the beginning ofjanuary. she does all of it that played out in the beginning of january. she does what she does best. she serves the public. is been quite quiet on the megxit front. we sorta settled into that pattern now. i'm not missing it

be honest. i have been seeking it out. the public is really passionate and angry about it, everybody had an opinion. so in some way it's a relief. that's it for the papers this hour. kate and anand will 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 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers. and if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it later on the bbc iplayer. thank you to kate and anand. we'll all be back for that second review in about a0 minutes, but for the moment, goodbye. it will remain a windy throughout

the rest of this evening, particularly in the north. it will tie into the area of low pressure with lots of showers and further south for the day, we have these area of rain. that area is clearing away in the next hour, leaving drier skies behind as you can see. we could see temperatures dipping close to freezing, but the showers become more widespread. even a covering of the cart do parts of northern arlington norther england over the hills. the wind should remain strong enough, but there will be a little bit of frost. low wintry showers blowing around and very strong gusty winds. blizzard conditions as we head towards the night and into tuesday morning. the winds will be more dominant across many parts of the uk as we go through into tuesday morning, strong and gusty with no showers combined. —— those showers

combined. those showers will migrate but it will start to dry up a little bit across northern ireland, western scotland, winds will start to ease to but for most of us it's westerly. it will feel colder and there will still be some showers around into the afternoon. changes on the way. those winds will start and we will see the return of high pressure. we will see some settled weather for two or three days. let's follow the showers as they ease away through the evening and overnight. we pick up the evening and overnight. we pick up south—westerly and see some patchy rain but for most of us, it will be a cold night. i think there'll be a widespread countryside frost as we go into wednesday morning and that high pressure stays with us to get that settled weather through wednesday, thursday and for many of us, friday as well. you can see there we may well have two or

three, possibly four dry days across many of the you —— much of the uk. there's no strength of the sunshine and we will have some chilly nights with some patchy fog but as we head towards next weekend, we start to see the winds escalating once again with the return of more heavy rain. the warnings are online.

this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 11:00: the government says it will introduce emergency legislation over early release for terror offences, following an attack on shoppers in south london by 20—year—old sudesh amman. amman was shot dead at the scene by armed police, and had only recently been freed from prison, after serving half of his sentence for terrorism offences. we face an unprecedented situation of severe cavity and as such it demands of the government responds immediately that this legislation will therefore also apply to serving prisoners. borisjohnson says britain won't bind itself to eu rules in order to get a trade deal

by the end of the year.
