has been disqualified from the tour of dubai, after punching fellow rider marcel kittel in the face during stage three. kittel — seen here in the blue with blood pouring down his face — has called for grivko who rides for the astana team, to be banned from cycling for six months. astana have posted an apology on social media but kittel says he won't accept it. the german still leads the race after winning the first two stages. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. we have matthew syed. the financial times leads on the bank of england's upgrade the growth forecast for the economy. the telegraph says the human rights lawyer accused of pursuing a witchhunt against british soldiers is facing calls to be prosecuted. the times leads on the possible end to the train drivers strike on southern real after one union won what a paper calls as a significant concession. the guardian says nato must counter russian hacking. the express says exercise is the solution to back pain. the meal sees healthy eating faces rationing after extreme weather. the metro, we are going to start with that. things can only get better. davis, the brexit secretary, predicts bright future as brexit plans are published. there are some suggesting things could get a lot worse. yes, indeed. a sub editor with a sense of her study because 20 yea rs with a sense of her study because 20 years ago, about know, somebody was coming up with things can only get better as the theme tune for the general election campaign of the labour party, tony blair's first election. you were there at the beginning. i was there. it feels like ancient history. but a very pro—european prime minister who was hoping that he would be able to transform britain's attitude towards the european union and note the same catchy headline is being used by those who want to pull us out, or who have succeeded in convincing us that we should be taken out of the european union. david davies as saying that britain's best days are ahead of us but it is still a degree of wishful thinking, he has not produced any evidence to show that is going to be the case. he has got to see that. it is his job to see that. he has produced a white paper today which mps had the chance to see, which does not tell us much about why he is so convinced that things are going to get better. matthew, we are going to be striking out on our own, having these goods trade deals, we are not going to be shackled by all the red tape and the problems with the european union, we can control our borders, the european court of justice can control our borders, the european court ofjustice is not going to be ruling us, it is going to be great. i have never heard that fit so well. i think he is wrong that better days are ahead because i voted remain and i thought it was in the national interest to stay in the european union but i am delighted he is good to get a chance to prove me wrong because the british public took a view, parliament is that they rightly has allowed the government to trigger article 50 and he has got to trigger article 50 and he has got to see this, be optimistic and dynamic stock he must of negotiations will be tough. the eu will not be as compliant as some people are thinking but it might be. not least because a fantastic deal where we can opt into things we like but not things we don't like would incentivise other nation states to leave the european union. this is going to be fraught with difficulties and negotiation terms. but the british people have spoken. david davies is on the stump. i had forgotten the catchphrase for that tony blair campaign. how happy was i or that day when he won? people accuse us or that day when he won? people accuse us of spin back in 1997. there is spin going on here. having offered a book called the spin doctors diary you should know what spin this. i have read it. onto the financial times. bank of england raises growth forecast again but remains wary of brexit impact. we know that the bank of england governor did not think that things we re governor did not think that things were going to get better after the vote. he is eating humble pie for the third or fourth time now with a raised forecast. it is quite interesting. note the gdp forecast is to draw 2% this year, same as la st is to draw 2% this year, same as last year, up from 1.4%, the hmmfi last year, up from 1.4%, the forecast in november, but the hmmfi forecast in november, but the forecast after the decision to leave the european union was only 0.8%, saw the bag forecast, this is going to be damaging in the short term. the reason is the thought this would affect consumer spending and confidence. what they did not factor into the equation is that when 52% of the voting public think they have got their way the confidence grows. maybe what we have here is people who really believed that brexit was going to be good for their pocket and therefore are spending more money, building up a bit more debt which might not be good. that is the problem. it is all onto. which might not be good. that is the problem. it is all ontoli which might not be good. that is the problem. it is all onto. ithink it is more of the phlegmatic attitude of the british public. it has not happened yet. i change attitudes until that is a reason to do so. there is a danger that those who are in favour of leaving the european union may think these two stories and because the growth forecasts have been upgraded that does not prove that things are going to get better because we have not yet left the european union. just on economic forecasts, it is remarkable, it is difficult to make accurate forecasts, the result of complexity, lots of people behaving in unpredictable ways,. what amazes me is how little economic forecasters update their predictive models in the light of events. unless you do that and improve, there's not a lot of scientific method and forecasting. there is a very good book on exactly that. visit your book? but none of this matters because we do not care about experts anyway. an expert who selfjustifies their existing assumptions because their existing assumptions because the eagle is bound up with an existing idea, that is a disaster. those who want to revise the judgments in the light of experience. the points made here by somebody else, whose name i cannot find at the moment, there has been such a consistently wrong forecast, they are updating its too gradual stickley. let us move on to the times. i do not door if you use southern real. all the time. you must be happy. the end in sight for rail strikers union claims victory. there will be a lot of happy commuters. i do not use it to commuters. i do not use it to commute every day. i used to see my pa rents. commute every day. i used to see my parents. but can be chaotic as we all know. that is not fall over. the cheering drivers appear to have settled. we do not know the details of the deal. but the conductors themselves in the rmt have not yet settled so it is not necessarily over and there is the risk of real mac strikes heading to another part of the country where people will look at the deal and said they want that as well. a disgraceful strike. when the independent rail it was saying that driver only trains would be safe, and these strikes have caused massive disruption, massive dent to the economy, even though the economy is still growing, this concession is too much. they have given guarantees that a second staff member would man every chain, the idea was to cut costs in a strange way, this guarantee, this could have a contagious effect. that you cannot cut costs and have a worse service. this is the kind of deal that seems to have put a smile back on faces. the express. inside page here. a lawyer who has been struck off, who was basically ambulance chasing, tank chasing, some would suggest, hounding according to this newspaper, gulf war heroes, to get prosecutions against british soldiers. i am so angered by this. it is disgraceful that this person, phil shiner, who held himself up as a great defender of human rights, has trampled over the rights of british soldiers who were putting their lives on the line for our nation in the gulf. according to the tribunal today the allegations found that phil shiner's attempts to malign our soldiers were entirely without foundation. deliberate lies. reckless speculation. ingrained hostility. enriching himself duplicitous lee at the expense of out duplicitous lee at the expense of our soldiers. he deserves everything coming his way. yes, he has been struck off. some of the cases did prove to be true. there was mistreatment. not an excuse. some people might suggest that if this is taken too literally then perhaps some soldiers out there, who have been responsible for some problems, may not get prosecuted. that is a danger of that and that is another reason why what this month it was so awful. those people who are genuinely trying to get at the truth rather than someone like this who was using shocking measures to profit from the process, those people who genuinely try to get to the truth, will find their work much harder and people will be less willing to listen to them. before we go to ourfinal willing to listen to them. before we go to our final item, willing to listen to them. before we go to ourfinal item, the willing to listen to them. before we go to our final item, the telegraph, french toast, francois fillon feels the heat over wife pass back row. he isa the heat over wife pass back row. he is a leading contenderfor the french presidency but problems concerning over whether his wife was paid for what she did not do has stymied the entire thing. it is a complicated story but it is very important because he was seen as the most likely candidate to prevent marine le pen, the leader of the far right, at the sickest campaign is toast, whether he has to pull out or whether he limps on. it is good news for a centrist candidate, a sort of blairite candidate. he is impressive and has no outperforming francois fillon somerby things could get better for france. financial times. trump, it is time for tough call. he is having a barney there. he fights everyone. he is angling for a fight with arnold schwarzenegger who took over hisjob as with arnold schwarzenegger who took over his job as the host of the apprentice. viewing figures are plummeted. arnold schwarzenegger hits back by saying, but us swap jobs. let us hear the very clip from mrtrump jobs. let us hear the very clip from mr trump himself. they hired a big movie star, arnold schwarzenegger, to take my place. we know how that turned out. the ratings went right down the tubes. it has been a total disaster. never bet against trump again. iwant disaster. never bet against trump again. i want to pray for articles for those ratings. that was at a pre—breakfast —— for those ratings. that was at a pre—brea kfast —— that for those ratings. that was at a pre—breakfast —— that was at a prayer breakfast. i want to remind people that is the leader of the free world. here is the response. donald, why do we not switched jobs? you take over on tv and i take over yourjobs and people can finally sleep comfortably again.|j yourjobs and people can finally sleep comfortably again. i would be less skilled with arnold schwarzenegger as president. arnold schwarzenegger as president. arnold schwarzenegger was republican governor of california. and eventually very successful. toxicity whether he might change the constitution. in five words, maybe ten, first week and a half of trump, sum it up. he has followed through on his campaign pledges and therefore is behaving in a way that you could describe as democratic but he is exactly as dangerous as many people thought he would be. he has been true to his words but his words are as distressing and disturbing as ever, he is going about diplomacy and a completely different way, slamming down the phone on other world leaders. let us see if it works. but as matthew pointed out, he is doing what his followers wanted, the people who voted for him. before we go tonight i wanted to show you a change to tonight's the sun. they have a bespoke masthead on the paper. he has taken the name of the paper quite literally. a collectors item. you can see the front pages of all the papers online on
