Just to recap our top story tonight, britains Katerina Johnson thompson is the world heptathlon champion. Thats all from sportsday. Coming up in a moment, the papers. Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are Henry Zeffman, Political Correspondent for the times, and daily mirror Political Correspondent, nicola bartlett. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in. Lets start with the financial times, and it leads on a warning from eu leaders, that they remain deeply concerned over Boris Johnsons new brexit proposals. The same story makes the front page of the metro, which says mrjohnsons brexit plan looks doomed, after it failed to convince the eu. The mirror carries an interview with the us businesswoman Jennifer Arcuri with whom borisjohnson is allegedly linked in which she claims men cant help falling for her. A different story in the guardian. It leads on a state of nature report, which reveals a drastic decline of uk wildlife. And the mail reports on a decision by the high court to reject campaigners case, against the governments handling of the rise in womens state pension age. So, a varied set of front pages lets see what our reviewers make of it all. The eu leaders queue up to post scorn on Boris Johnsons the eu leaders queue up to post scorn on borisjohnsons brexit proposition. The backstop which parliament has refused to vote to run numerous occasions in the eu is very wedded to. He vowed notjust to time limit the backstop or make twea ks to time limit the backstop or make tweaks to the backstop which is the Insurance Plan to avoid a hard border and he said he was going to ta ke border and he said he was going to take it out altogether and i think at one point his phrase was the backstop ectomy which i am glad has disappeared. But it has not gone down brilliantly in brussels the metro says it is doomed. I would not go that far. It is in trouble and unlikely to be the basis of a deal, certainly not within ten days but, the eu has not rejected it outright, the eu has not rejected it outright, the eu has been slightly, pleasantly surprised on the seriousness and proposals and i just worked surprised on the seriousness and proposals and ijust worked up on the back of a packet, they are consistent with Boris Johnsons on redlines but the reality is his redlines but the reality is his redlines in the European Unions redlines in the European Unions redlines are so far apart. But what the solution would be is, keeping the solution would be is, keeping the island of ireland and the Single Market but taking Northern Ireland out of the customs union. So in some ways, Northern Ireland would be different from the other three quarters of the uk. And that is with some of the issues are, especially for the du p which do not want to have a different status and a lot of theissues have a different status and a lot of the issues that have been there all the issues that have been there all the way through are still there and some of these ideas about not having, not quite having a border but custom checks away from the border, the technology by all accounts is not there and it is still not there and it kind of reminds me of a few months ago talking about this issue that seemed to bea talking about this issue that seemed to be a bit ridiculed at the time and it is a quite a key part of this and it is a quite a key part of this andi and it is a quite a key part of this and i think i would agree that this is not been dismissed out of hand, does not quite there. Coming out strong because the parliament, the apartment have to agree as well as the other parts of the eu. But someone like donald tusk being a bit more moderate and the point is if this is all that there is, then yes, there is not going to be a deal, but if this is a step to negotiate, albeit with a very strict time limit it looks like there might be enough will for that to happen stop by lets look at the metro, on this of the story, this picture story at the top, the failed stunt for red hot octobers what happened . They took a disused device and the intention was to use the fire hose to cover it in this red liquid which all kind of we nt this red liquid which all kind of went wrong for them because they lost control of the hose and ended up lost control of the hose and ended up covering themselves with the liquid, the idea to look like blood and highlighting the damage that the treasury talks a big game on things like environment or protection but a lot of their investments are still helping to cause damage. Left laughing at the ridiculousness of it. Is a funny picture, because the men on the front page is struggling to grapple with it. But it is with noting how successful this is been at getting the message out there in just a few short months. I feel that ultimately they rather if it had gone off accurately on the front page, which is an enormous readership, many will be engaging end if they disagree with that, there will be engaging with the subject. Viral campaigners. A lot of the campaigns are quite vibrant, theyre quite fun and in the past, environmental campaigns were kind of dourand environmental campaigns were kind of dour and serious, it is nice to see something a beat for a change. |j dour and serious, it is nice to see something a beat for a change. I did not know that beetrootjuice was that colour. It will not come out of hisjeans very that colour. It will not come out of his jeans very easily. On the front of the guardian, they reveal the shocking decline of uk wildlife and thejoint shocking decline of uk wildlife and the joint nature conservation, we acknowledge that this requires urgent action. Another climate story, there are lots of reasons for with the guardian because the shocking decline of uk wildlife. A lot has to do with farming as opposed to global missions, talks about fertiliser, manure, distractions of habitats for House Building and also the climate crisis. One thing worth noting is that we rightly beat each other up about what we have been doing, but the guardian story says that the losses of mammals and birds and other sorts of wildlife mirror effectively what is going on all around the world. So the question is what can all countries do together and remember the copenhagen summit in the next one equivalent on the claws go next year thats going to bea claws go next year thats going to be a big moment for notjust uk but all sorts of countries to try and get a all sorts of countries to try and geta grip all sorts of countries to try and get a grip on that. Pressure on habitats also pressure on us to build more houses. That is the problem, isnt it . The competing claims of humans versus wildlife essentially and we need more houses and people are striving to get by as much as they can and essentially, if we are to tackle these things, we have to spend more money. Whether thatis have to spend more money. Whether that is making flying more expensive and the dangers that this could hurt the poorest people in the most. Women born in the 1950s lose pension fight. They have seen that they have not had time to save for that, they should have been given more time. This is a decision under the Coalition Government and as you say, a lot of women did not get the notice they needed and a lot of those women who have taken time off from work to raise children would have more responsibilities, and working at a lower wage, knowing that they will retire at this point. Some people make all sorts of decisions based on that, knowing that figure in the five very hard done by this figure and weve noticed that the court, where the key campaign was saying to Boris Johnson that you said you would address this in leadership campaign. You are gearing up for an election, we have quite a sizeable number and so we have quite a sizeable number and so youre glad to convince us to vote for you in the court. And rather than saying yes you have been discriminated against, there are men in the past that have been discriminated against because they we re discriminated against because they were brought to the make able to get there pensions much later than women. Youll make the evidence that we have gotten has been affecting a bite, the question of whether or not the government was right to do this in the Advertising Campaign was widespread enough, these are questions for politicians and parliament and voters in general elections and there is polling evidence that borisjohnson possible support is lower amongst women than men in all different groups in society. And this could be one thing that exacerbates it. Staying with the financial times, face off, hong kong to seek massive ban after months and months of protests. |j kong to seek massive ban after months and months of protests. I was in hong kong during the riots and people had their faces covered and the reason for that is due to the widespread surveillance which we know about a Mainland China but also in hong kong. The fear that they could be identified forjoining in protests in the perennial question here is about the process more generally is with the International Community, with the uk in particular which of course true up the one country to systems procedure when handed hong kong back to china, the International Community would speak out not a lot they can do, not a lot, they certainly do seem willing with the knowledge that it will sacrifice relationships with china. At there are a lot of people who are willing to go far, but there is talk of bringing these kind of Emergency Powers to ban face covering. At hong kong possible his reputation as a Financial Centre and its standing in the world, they have to consider how damaging this looks to people who are investing there and so on and im not sure how long this can go on for. Exclusive business power. It laughing, that is not me saying that. Yes, we have an interesting picture of her and i think it might be the first time weve heard directly from her and all of this. He referred a the friends of her and it has been kind of another thought in this in recent weeks and a lot of these women causing problems with this because of the links between them. She has now denied sleeping with them and he has also denied that. But there are questions still being asked about the grant that was given and whether or not that was listed correctly and if she should have been taking on various trades with him. It seemed that was not quite correct and so she has not quite correct and so she has not quite unable to put this issue to bed and kept going rumbling on. Quite unable to put this issue to bed and kept going rumbling onm is not the nature of their relationship, not an intimate one that because the premise to such problems. Conservative mps and other members who selected borisjohnson knew about his well documented romantic history. Whether this does or does not apply here. What i think they wont necessarily anticipate his questions about his use of money in Public Office which he denies but the longer it hangs over, i believe this is the third week of the stories, is going to roll into a general election campaign, that is not idealfor boris general election campaign, that is not ideal for Boris Johnson.

The headlines at 11 00 the Prime Minister tells mps hed made a genuine attempt to find Common Ground to get a new brexit deal. We have made a genuine attempt to bridge the chasm, to reconcile the a p pa re ntly bridge the chasm, to reconcile the apparently irreconcilable and to go the extra mile as time runs short. What we have before it is a rehashed version of previous proposals that will trigger a race to the bottom on the rights of workers, consumers and our precious environment and put the good friday agreement in peril
