This summit is very deliberately being held at sandhurst, britains military academy of officer cadets. The venue underlined the fact that britain and france are the key military powers in europe, used to working together and today committing to greater co operation, even if the background to all of this is, of course, brexit. And in other ways britain and france are heading into very different directions.

Parents in england are subsidising free nursery care because it hasnt been properly funded by the government thats according to a survey published today. The report, by the pre School Learning alliance, found that nurseries which provdide 30 hours of Free Childcare, are having to ask parents to cover the cost of nappies and lunches.

It is struggling financially provide children with 30 hours of free care the only person that this policy is free to is the government. Its not free to providers. Were subsidising this policy. Its not free to parents, or their children, because were having to ask for additional contributions to cover part of what we offer, that the funding does not cover. We would love the word free to be replaced by funded or subsidised. The scheme to double Free Childcare for three and four year olds from 15 hours per week to 30 was introduced last september. But, with nurseries now struggling, families are being asked to pick up additional costs. The report from the pre School Learning alliance suggests only 35 of childcare providers are delivering 30 hours per week completely free. 37 have introduced or increased charges for things such as meals and snacks, to make up the shortfall. 38 of providers are uncertain whether they will be offering 30 hour places in one years time. When they go on to bigger schools, you are not expected to make donations and things there. It should be free for everybody. The department for education said it has always been clear that the government funding is not intended to cover the cost of meals or Additional Services, and while providers can charge parents for additional extras, this cannot be a condition of each childs place.

Lets find out what is happening. Our correspondence in cumbria, its clear that people need be mindful. There is a lot of wind around. Numerous hazards this morning. Good morning. Lots of snow across the of england. This is the weather system responsible. The rain and strong winds, lets concentrate on the snowfall. These are the routes likely to be affected. The snow has been fizzling out. There will be ongoing impacts throughout the morning rush hour. Have seen as much as seven inches of snowfall overnight. The windsor becoming more and more a feature. These are recent gusts from eastern parts of england. Over the next few hours, coastal parts of lincolnshire and east anglia could see winds gusting to 80 Miles Per Hour. They are going to cause a huge amount of problems. Please take it easy. Further west, not as strong as we have seen the recent hours. Some heavy showers in north west england. Improving as far as the rain and snow is concerned that here and across scotland and Northern Ireland, ice is the big story. A mixture of sleet and snow. Through the day, the strongest winds quickly depart. This could be a blustery day, nothing untoward lots of showers in the west. Scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England, a further covering in places. Some southern and eastern parts, it will stay dry to rapid rate the day but the wind will make it feel cold indeed. Still a bit of a breeze growing more showers out. A few centimetres of snow certainly possible. An ice risk into tomorrow morning. Temperatures lower than this, of course, in some rural areas and more of a forced into tomorrow morning in the south. Or friday, lots of showers. Northern england and wales. A few towards the south. A mixture of rain, hail and sleet. Some rumbles of thunder. Sunshine in between. Those are your afternoon temperatures and it will feel colder than that. Widespread frost to begin with. Not a bad day to start the weekend. Cloud increasing from the south west later on. That cloud continues to pushing through the night and into sunday morning, bringing outbreaks of rain across many parts. Preceded by snow over Higher Ground on sunday which may cause a few issues before it turns back to rain later and temperatures rise. A change of weekend. We have ice to content with in lincolnshire and east anglia. Thank you very much. We will have a look through some of the papers now. Lets look at the front pages. On the front page of the daily telegraph, Emmanuel Macron of course having a meeting with theresa may today. In amongst the issues they will be talking about, this £aa million figure to keep Border Guards in calais. However, the majority of what they will be talking about is not so much brexit related at a lot of Security Issues and we will be talking about those later on. The duchess of cambridge, opening a wing ata duchess of cambridge, opening a wing at a hospital. And the child you can see, raphael chand, is waiting for a heart transplant. Chandler. See, raphael chand, is waiting for a heart transplant. Chandler. He has certainly won the hearts of many she has certainly won the hearts of many. And again, the main story, taking a look at the visit by a Emmanuel Macron today to the uk. On the front page of the times, i know you mentioned in a few minutes ago. These billions, enormous sums of money spent on wasteful pfi, this is in the news at the moment because of carillion. Yes, and this was done before the carillion collapse, by the National Audit office. It is also on the front page of the business pages of the telegraph, and it is looking at how valuable these are. The government says they are useful because they can offload the risk and the cost of Public FinanceInitiative Projects to private business but there is a lot of criticism of how much they cost and whether they are tying local organisations like the nhs into deals which are too inflexible. So it is not particularly new but i think the issue is that even if we sign no new deals from tomorrow, it will still cost us as taxpayers £200 billion. And you mention you are going to take a look at the cricket. The cricket is all over the daily mail, but i was going to take the chance to talk about alexis sanchez, because this deal has been rumbling oii because this deal has been rumbling on in the transfer window. Alexis sanchezis on in the transfer window. Alexis sanchez is on the verge of signing the Manchester United, snatched away from Manchester City because they said they were not prepared to pay as much as he was asking for. Said they were not prepared to pay as much as he was asking forlj thought they had more money, Manchester City. They have an awful lot of money but Manchester United have come in and said they will pay a staggering £500,000 a week for the chilean. And this is 103 year old kitty, a bristol rovers football fan who first went to a match on a steam train in1954, and who first went to a match on a steam train in 1954, and she has spent every home game there ever since. She was asked what had changed over the years, she said the crowd is not as raucous as it used to be, and the money has changed. She said it has gotten too big, kitty, the money has gotten too big, kitty, the money has got out of hand but i suppose that is how things are these days. And she is 103. She says at one point she is 103. She says at one point she fainted in the crowd, and the st johns ambulance people had to carry her over everybodys heads to get her over everybodys heads to get her down to get some care. Crowd surfing exactly, she sounds like an absolute star. The big story in the paper is the cricket, and the fact that ben stokes has been selected to play in englands next test series down in new zealand after being charged with affray, so lots of comment writers talking about whether that is the right call to make from the ecb. When he was in charge, they said he was not available for selection but when the Crown Prosecution Service say actually what you did is serious enough to be charged and criminal proceedings start, now he can come back into the england team. And that is on the inside of the sun as well, spineless shambles as their headline on that. And this is an interesting one, we talked about that the tax cut in the United States for business, reducing taxes from 35 to 2196. Business, reducing taxes from 35 to 21 . The first example of the difference it makes, the tech giant apple says it will move production back to the United States and will pay 38 billion in tax, a 1 off tax payment for bringing some of its profits from overseas back to the United States. It has been hit with a tax bill of 38 billion. But at the same time it says it will spend 30 billion to expand operations in the United States, so expect to hear a lot from President Trump about why his tax cuts made that possible. And the daily telegraph, some of these pictures you will remember from movies. Clint eastwood, you can see, and the story here is the university of edinburgh has done a report about the use of apes, partic
