Unreasonable eu is demanding of us, and this time the key number is 8 billion, but we have had numbers in the millions and billions, this is not a particularly new story. What is new is that there are now reports that this is being considered as pa rt that this is being considered as part of the negotiation on the british side to help us get the transitional deal which i think will probably make some Hard Brexiteers very upset, that we will continue paying the eu bill until 2020. There isa paying the eu bill until 2020. There is a case that this is money we committed. The eu Budget Frameworks are seven years so committed. The eu Budget Frameworks are seven years so this is money that was allocated to these projects. It is definitely showing that one of our key Negotiating Chips is going to be our contributions. We have the money, they need the money. So i think you can put a fairly positive spin on this. So it will be about the bill versus the trade deal we get as a result . It will be the opening gambit in what will be an extraordinary, complex, multifaceted deal with lots of moving parts masterminded by david davis if the tories win the next general election. This shortfall in the budget is causing anxiety on that side of the channel and it is clearly a Bargaining Chip if we want to get really Privileged Access to the free market, which is crucial to out the free market, which is crucial to our economy. The free market, which is crucial to our economy. But i think you are right, the really Hard Brexiteers who would rather crash out. They would rather be left today. Exactly, they are anxious. I think theresa may will be Less Beholden to the Hardline Brexiteers and may allow her to Hardline Brexiteers and may allow herto go Hardline Brexiteers and may allow her to go shoot a hard ish brexit. You mentioned theresa may which ta kes you mentioned theresa may which takes us onto the i. We want theresa may in tv debates, say voters. Who are these photos . I would agree with voters to say we want to have her in. You can understand her reluctance, she is way ahead of the polls, everybody expects her to get a three Figure Majority in the house of commons. There is a Downside Risk that she will go in and stumble, Jeremy Corbyn will shine, tim farron will do something remarkable. Do you remember when nick clegg popped in, and everybody agreed with nick. Absolutely went sky high in the polls. Having said that, i think these debates will make a tiny difference but i dont think in this particular election they will make a difference. Is the appetite there, do you think . It says 5496 of people said they want to see theresa may in the debate, i certainly dont. You would rather have them than not, wouldnt you . Would rather have them than not, wouldnt you . I think the prospect ofjeremy wouldnt you . I think the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn wouldnt you . I think the prospect ofJeremy Corbyn shouting at an empty chair is a lot more entertaining than theresa may. Injecting some humour and entertainment into this otherwise rather boring Election Campaign. Entertainment into this otherwise rather boring Election Campaignm wouldnt be the most distracting piece of television if you had a group of senior politicians standing round ina group of senior politicians standing round in a circle and an empty chair, im not sure you could take the debate seriously, could you . Chair, im not sure you could take the debate seriously, could you7m course not, you cant take it seriously. They say labour accuses the Prime Minister of running scared. I think the only thing she has to be scared of at the moment is what you will do with her massive Landslide Victory when she gets it. Ido Landslide Victory when she gets it. I do think she should be tested in a debate. The democratic duty almost. Ido debate. The democratic duty almost. I do think that. Its become part of the tapestry of american politics. No serious candidate wouldnt be able to take part without a debate. And i think its possible theresa may will be dogged by the idea shes a bit ofa may will be dogged by the idea shes a bit of a bottler, and the pressure might get too great. It really depends what happens in the polls. If this reluctance to take part in the debate makes an impact on the polls, maybe she will buckle. Her biggest problem right now is stopping tory voters from getting complacent and not turning up. Rachel, staying with you and the i. As their is a photograph of the wife of emmanuel macron. Yes, the potential future first lady of brands, and a bit of a scandal in that shes 25 years older than him, i think 64 years old, and she was headteacher at school when he was 15. Obviously this is france and we dont care about that. She could potentially be the first lady. I think the age difference has been commented on a lot, id like to make the point it is almost exactly the same as the age difference between donald trump and his wife. Is this a Debating Point of significance . think the love story between these two is extraordinary. They met when he was 15 and she was teacher as you rightly say. She was married, and with the daughter. But she was won over by this is year old who would read extracts from a play that he was about to act in, and she said the weight of his intellect that she still doesnt feel she has fully probed, on their long walks by the river she fell in love and he said i will marry you. It took until he was 29 before he popped the question. It is remarkable. And remember french president s often have rather remarkable love stories. This seems like a true love story. He mentioned donald trump. Ivanka appears on the front of the guardian. She had a bit ofa front of the guardian. She had a bit of a hard time at this event is because she was asked about her father s attitude towards women. On his president ial platform is promising to give Maternity Leave it for the first time in political american history, but this was met from giggles in the audience. She was asked about his attitude towards women in his private life, of course the comment made off the cuff in the campaign. She obviously loves her father very much, respect him hugely, and defended him rather well, i think. Hugely, and defended him rather well, ithink. Even hugely, and defended him rather well, i think. Even though i dont agree with trumps policies or his actions towards women, i think he has a pretty solid family life. Actions towards women, i think he has a pretty solid family lifelj dont feel sorry for her. She is the golden girl, one half of the power couple potentially taking over the world. If you look at the continuing deals her husband and she is doing on behalf of trumps other businesses. Im a little bit torn by this story because as you can see in the picture they are all smiling and there have been reports that she and Angela Merkel have very good chemistry, which is in contrast to when donald trump met Angela Merkel and it was all very awkward. She asked for a handshake and he pretended not to hear her. If she is away for the leaders to get their point across to him, it is good there is somebody. But at the same time what has she done, she a Jewellery Designer on a stage with two of the most powerful women in the world, the head of the imf and the world, the head of the imf and the chancellor of germany, pretending shes there on her own merit. At the same time Hillary Clinton is getting a huge amount of attacks and really vitriolic responses for the fact that she wont say she went for congress clearly enough. I agree with you on nepotism, it is a good point. Im going to go to the metro. This is an extraordinary image, grow bags for babies. It is an artificial womb that has been tested on lands lambs. It is a pretty fantastic technological innovation. Isnt it brilliant when scientists come up with something that can change peoples lives. In three years they think it will be ready to deploy on premature babies whose chance of survival will be massively increased. On the. It it says they grew bigger, and opened their eyes, which is incredible. And we have the Hummus Crisis on the front of the telegraph. Yes, this bad tasting, metallic hummus. I found telegraph. Yes, this bad tasting, metallic hummus. Ifound out a presenter had it for lunch, but you bought it from an upmarket supermarket. I bought it from a different place mentioned here. Other supermarkets are available. Different place mentioned here. Other supermarkets are availablelj dont other supermarkets are available. dont know much about this story apart from that in one sainsburys store where they were totally out of stock, where the hummus use to be very advertised a recipe on how to make it yourself with directions to the ingredients in the store. That is all for the papers tonight. Thank you to rachel and matthew. Goodbye. Good evening. Another cold and frosty night lies ahead of us. In scotland, some snow here gives you an idea of how cold it was here, and in staffordshire it got cold enough for some snow which didnt settle, and there was sunshine to be hard with rain showers in dudley this afternoon. Still some spells of sunshine but also some lively showers moving through on that cold Northerly Wind which is still with us Northerly Wind which is still with us overnight. It will be a cold night with a frost developing quite widely. The showers tend to fade away from any northern and western parts of the uk, and with slightly lighter winds here and Clearing Skies that is where we will see low temperatures. Major towns and cities in the range of 1 4 degrees, but in the rural spots we will go several degrees below freezing. Maybe some showers clipping the tip of cornwall, but generally in the south west and through wales it is a cold, sunny start of the day. Most of the showers are confined to coastal areas first thing. Still a wintry element to many of those. Bit of extra cloud to the north west of scotland, some showers here the day, but many Western Areas having a decent day of it. The main focus for the showers, central and eastern parts of england. Some thunder and hail mixed in with the rain. As we go through the evening, still some showers first across central and eastern areas but they become fewer and further between before eventually fading away. Then we see Cloud And Rain Moving in from the north and that will be a key feature of things on thursday. It is a weak Weather Front drifting south bringing cloud, but also some less cold air. Temperatures could rise by a degree also, but in scotland may be by three or 4 degrees. That patchy Rain Slipping South across england and wales, it should brighten up in the afternoon in glasgow with temperatures about 12 degrees. This is bbc news. Im julian worricker. The headlines at 11pm labour sets out its approach to brexit if it wins the general election, pledging to unilaterally guarantee the rights of eu citizens already in the uk. The Prime Minister urges voters to abandon what she calls tribal politics during a campaign visit to labours heartland in south wales. A decade after the disappearance of madeleine mccann, police say there are still significant avenues of investigation. And coming up on newsnight, with the Election Campaign firmly focused on brexit, for understandable reasons, well look at social care and how to pay for it. You want more of it, but do you want more tax
