Excited about High Pressure but this is going to be quite flat, squeezed by these weather systems that are running in from the atlantic. Threatening some more wind and rain. The heaviest of the rain across the western side of scotland, largely dry for eastern scotland and rain later for northern ireland. Dry for eastern scotland and rain laterfor northern ireland. Some sunshine and highs of 15 or 16 degrees. Hello, this is bbc news. Well be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment, first the headlines counting is under way in catalonias controversial independence referendum. Hundreds of people were injured in violent clashes throughout the day as police tried to stop the poll. The spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy said the vote was illegal. Right now i can tell you all emphatically, what we found today and what you already know, is that there was no independence referendum in catalonia today. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a knife attack that killed two women at the main train station in the french city of marseille. The suspect was shot dead by soldiers. 0n the first day of the conservative Party Conference in manchester, the Prime Minister has insisted the cabinet is united on brexit. She also unveiled a series of policies aimed at younger voters, such as freezing University Tuition fees in england. The holiday company, monarch, is waiting to see if its license to sell Package Holidays will be renewed, amid uncertainty over its finances. An extension was granted last night which expires at midnight. My my guest in me the author is siri hustvedt, the american novelist to as well as telling stories writes about the arts, sex and the mind in book of essays,. Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. And it will feature the hoff. Dont quite know why, but it will stop. With me are tom bergin, reuters Business Correspondent and Rachel Cunliffe from city am. The catalan poll is the top story for the ft, which carries a picture of riot police brawling with a voter. The telegraph says the violence shows the eu is in crisis. It carries a large picture of a Police Officer using a truncheon. The same picture again in the times, which says that spain has been torn apart by the violence. The metro also has that picture, but its top story is divisions in the conservative party it reports that senior figures say the pms days are numbered. Backlash against boris is the lead for the i, it reports the mood of the tory conference has swung against the foreign secretary over his perceived disloyalty. A different take for the express, which declares mrs may is winning the brexit battle. It reports that eu leaders have praised her for her florence speech. Daily mail says the pms attempts to reach out to voters have been shadowed by infighting. And a rather excitable front page for the sun, which says that prince harry and Meghan Markles first public kiss has sparked what it calls a frenzy of engagement speculation. I dont know amongst whom. I havent given it a lot of thought. Lets start with spain today and these very stark pictures on the front of a number of the papers. The metro says brute force, hundreds injured as that is right police try to stop the catalan referendum. It is very shocking to see these pictures in a place like spain, rachel, isnt it . Of course, you look at the pictures, and you mentioned this particular picture of the policeman in riot gear, attacking a vulture. We might see Something Like that, expected in venezuela, certainly not in an eu country. The issue is that the referendum according to the Spanish Government is illegal and therefore entirely non binding. And obviously its quite inconvenient for them to be having this referendum, for the Spanish Government. That said, because something is inconvenient, the response to send in riot police and to arrest politicians in the region, to try and arrest voters, to seize voting ballot papers, to try and close polling stations, thats a very extreme response. And it really doesnt make the Spanish Government look very good. It makes them look really quite violent and authoritarian. You wonder whether it was a miss calculation. If it was an illegal referendum the combative go ahead and say, we dont respect the result. Yes, tactically the view seems to be forming that this was a miscalculation. We can go back so far to see whereby heavy handed responses to moves towards independence or any sort of separatism have actually stopped separatist ideals. Obviously in ireland that is the anniversary of the 1916 rising which initially was not supported that widely by people and up and coming next thing, civil war because of the response. The situation is one that opinion polls show that only 40 of people supported catalan independence, the question will be what those opinion polls show next week or miss out we taken. Polls show next week or miss out we ta ken. Already the polls show next week or miss out we taken. Already the leader of the region says there is the basis for declaring independence in the coming days, according to the spanish media. So it does look like, i dont know if it is brute force, but certainly a very blunt approach to the situation and maybe that was not the situation and maybe that was not the cleverest move. The Daily Telegraph says this is an eu crisis. Brussels failing to criticise spain. Certainly dirar start of the european parliament, brexit negotiator, he condemned the violence, and also said it is not a legitimate referendum. First of all, the members of the eu, many countries have come out. I would say it is fine to side or asjohnson, he made some comments, but the official statement from the Foreign Office is not critical of spanish police, it actually says that the law must be upheld. I think it tells us more about the telegraphs position on the eu than the eu position on the catalan referendum, because as i said, you, both from the parliament and from the individual members have been critical of this. Im not 100 present sure i agree with letting the eu and eu institutions off the hook with this, because the point thatis hook with this, because the point that is made in the telegraph article is the response from the eu would be very different if it was not spain, if it was hungary or one of the Eastern European countries that have been criticised by the eu for human rights issues in the past. With this, there are armed police at hacking people for trying to exercise their democratic right to vote. It might be an illegal referendum, and as you said, the Spanish Government is absolutely free to ignore the results, but i dont think in other eu countries if you would have had that response from the police they would have stayed silent and just said, thats an issue for hungary, thats an issue for poland, which is what they have done in this case. So there is a sense of hypocrisy about it. Deep divisions in paris spain certainly, it will be interesting to see whether they do try to declare independence in the next few days. We shall keep an eye on it. The telegraph also carrying the story about universal credit, the tories to press on with the roll out even though in pilot areas we have seen example is a people having to wait up example is a people having to wait up to six weeks to get their money, and going into debt as a consequence. Its not the most popular policy. The idea is to roll six benefits into one and simplify the process, but the outcome seems to have been in the areas where they have trialled at that when there are glitches and hiccups, which are when you roll out any code programme, people suffer, and these are some of the most Vulnerable People in a society. Im not 100 present sure why the tories are trying to headline with this, given that it is a very controversial policy anyway and its not really a vote winner, and its not really a vote winner, and after day one which was all about yes, we will give more money into the help to buy scheme, we go through more demand in the Housing Market without addressing supply at all, high kind of question the judgment of whoever was drawing up the schedule. Some people who are evenin the schedule. Some people who are even in favour of universal credit as an idea saying that the technological hiccups has made it and bearable for people. Yes, and we have another benefit and tax changes with the it has not held up and we have seen big problems. This has the potential to create a lot of egg on the face for the conservative party, so as you say, to wave it around as a flag is problematic. Interestingly, the dup has not agreed to support welfare programmes on the part of the government, it has agreed to support them on certain measures, so there is the potential for a certain measures, so there is the potentialfor a broader certain measures, so there is the potential for a broader political problem if it really got messy. Lets look at Boris Johnson problem if it really got messy. Lets look at borisjohnson and is changing fortunes. Ministers tell me to sackjohnson. Says the times. He has his supporters, doesnt it . He has his supporters, doesnt it . He has a bit of cult following. The fa ct has a bit of cult following. The fact she did not sack him after he wrote a foreboding rsa attacking her leadership, shows that he is a threat. I can see her motivation for not wanting to create more drama and a feeling that at least if he is in the cabinet she can control him a little bit. If he sacks him, he becomes a marker and who knows what he will do. But who knows, there is a sense growing since before the election that she is not really in control of the cabinet, and even if it might be the best of two not particularly good options, it does not make her look strong, certainly. It interesting, one also thinks back to heseltine and thatcher, there we re to heseltine and thatcher, there were sniping, and in those days what was interesting was people that buy, time and say, heseltine was never going to be leader does the person who wielded the knife was never going to be made leader by other people. But it seems at boris is so popular that he feels he can be the knifeman and still potentially be the leader. I think the odds are still that he is most likely to become the next leader. The polls certainly. Backlash against boris says the independent with theresa may being asked the question whether he was unsackable and trying to convince us that the cabinet is united. She made the point that boris was 100 present behind florence, he did not attack it but he was not in unison with the speech. It is a situation where there is so much dissent fair and sniping that actuallyjust there is so much dissent fair and sniping that actually just to there is so much dissent fair and sniping that actuallyjust to claim that there is unity in itself becomes a little bit ridiculous. River were to take over from theresa may are going to have to see through brexit, which is not going to be plain sailing whoever is in charge. This is why i think boris is fighting for attention, you want to be taken seriously, but i dont believe necessarily that he wants to believe necessarily that he wants to be leader, because it is a bit of a poisoned chalice. Whoever has this jobless problem and not going to survive the aftermath of it. Another thing that is on the front page that i like thing that is on the front page that ilike is thing that is on the front page that i like is ruth davidson, the scottish tory leader, who calls for an end to tory psychodrama. One, thatis an end to tory psychodrama. One, that is a great line, and number two, she is one to watch. I know she isa memberof two, she is one to watch. I know she is a member of the scottish parliament, she is not an mp, getting her into westminster would bea getting her into westminster would be a challenge and people say shes not even eligible because she is not an mp, but i think she is one to watch. We have elections and by elections and all sorts of opportunities arise. Keep an eye on ruth davidson. The hoff is 65, and looking good on it. This is the stupidest business in the world. Why is David Hasselhoff in the paper . On the list it says horace plus the hoff. I think of the hoff and somebody who has made a career to make themselves a good at yours, so i dont know why boris and the hoff is together, but yes, he is with another movie, and this time it is about the hoff. Rachel is much too young to have any of this. |j about the hoff. Rachel is much too young to have any of this. I had no idea who this person was. I ran him from baywatch and from knight rider with his car, with the irritating voice. I didnt watch that, it was more of a boy thing. I know you should not see those gender specific thing. In this case you might be right, and a favoured at a d riverless right, and a favoured at a driverless car i hope it will have the accent of kit. He has become an extraordinary phenomenon. And dave at the voice in my year tonight, reminded me that he performed in berlin when the wall came down. A p pa re ntly berlin when the wall came down. Apparently he was hugely popular, because he is of some german extraction apparently, and he even made hit singles. He is not renowned for his voice but he made a hit single. Apparently a lot of people had hit singles, an actor from dallas also had a hit in germany. Yes, he is quite popular in germany
