at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. Thank you to both my

:00:22.:00:32.

guess for joining me this evening. Here are the headlines for tomorrow.

:00:33.:00:37.

Theresa May will tomorrow pledge to rid the world of the barbaric evil

of slavery as she sets out her personal mission is the Prime

Sunday Times leads with news that prominent campaigners to remain in

the EU and former cabinet ministers are in line for knighthoods in David

:01:29.:01:34.

Cameron's resignation honours list. It also reveals that at least for

:01:35.:01:39.

active terror plots in the UK are being investigated by the police.

:01:40.:01:43.

The Mail on Sunday claims that women who have sex changes on the NHS are

:01:49.:01:53.

comment. The Sunday Mirror alleges that the BBC will begin playing

:01:54.:01:58.

circlet Richard's records, but says that The Star still plans to sue the

:01:59.:02:02.

corporation for over ?1 million. We can begin. Lots of different topics.

:02:03.:02:08.

We're going to start with The Observer. An interesting story in a

:02:09.:02:14.

couple of papers talking about the Chapel Lock on pensions -- the

:02:15.:02:24.

Chapel Lock. Some people are saying we cannot afford it. An ex-minister

:02:25.:02:34.

has said that there is unaffordable and it should go towards it causes,

:02:35.:02:42.

but what they have said is that you .5% of the pension has lifted many

:02:43.:02:47.

pensioners out of poverty. What concerns me is the conversations I'm

:02:48.:02:54.

having with my friends in Yorkshire. The next generation is going to have

:02:55.:03:01.

less money than the pensioners. They are worried about job opportunities

:03:02.:03:04.

and whether they will get a pension at all. They are worried about the

:03:05.:03:11.

future. It feels like a pitch for the younger generation against the

:03:12.:03:15.

older generation. Not all pensioners are rich and we have to realise

:03:16.:03:21.

that. If they went by means testing would that be taken up by pensioners

:03:22.:03:27.

who are proud? There is a suggestion that the people in their 30s or 40s

:03:28.:03:31.

will be worse off than their parents. It is very difficult

:03:32.:03:39.

politically because it was a promise that was made and it would be a

:03:40.:03:43.

political hot potato, but we have already seen from Theresa May that

:03:44.:03:46.

she is not frightened of having a look at things. Clearly if you have

:03:47.:03:52.

an average increase of 2.5% when inflation is 1% and most people in

:03:53.:04:00.

the public sector have had pegged paying creases or 1% maximum, you

:04:01.:04:05.

can see that there is an imbalance. If you start to lick at means tested

:04:06.:04:13.

universal benefits for pensioners, like the winter fuel allowance, you

:04:14.:04:19.

could go some way to saying whether they need it or not and a lot of

:04:20.:04:25.

people donate it to charity. This is a conversation. This has come from

:04:26.:04:31.

someone who is no longer part of the government and who has always been

:04:32.:04:41.

quite as spoken on pensions. Your magazine goes to people that are

:04:42.:04:42.

brought. Do they feel well off if brought. Do they feel well off

:04:43.:04:46.

they are retired? People are they are retired? People are

:04:47.:04:52.

concerned about Brexit and how that will affect them so they are looking

:04:53.:04:57.

forward and how it will affect their forward and how it will affect their

:04:58.:05:00.

pensions, particularly with the currency rates. There is fear there

:05:01.:05:07.

but as the story unfolds we will not know more until article 50 has been

:05:08.:05:11.

invoked and then we will know how it will affect people. This is the same

:05:12.:05:17.

story in The Sunday Express, about fear. The secret plan to cut your

:05:18.:05:25.

pension. They are talking here about the triple-lock that has been

:05:26.:05:31.

brought in to protect the pension. 2.5% these days is a lot. When this

:05:32.:05:41.

came in inflation was the .2% and this could go down even further from

:05:42.:05:47.

where it is at the moment. I have to laugh that this is a secret plan,

:05:48.:05:54.

although the information has come from an interview she gave to The

:05:55.:06:01.

Observer. We can go to the other story which is dominating some front

:06:02.:06:13.

pages. Aid for trade, Britain will leverage its ?11 billion foreign aid

:06:14.:06:15.

budget to build new trade deals once budget to build new trade deals once

:06:16.:06:23.

leaves the European Union. What I found talking to people in Yorkshire

:06:24.:06:27.

is that they have never understood the whole idea that this has been

:06:28.:06:32.

ring fenced, especially countries like India that have a space

:06:33.:06:36.

programme. From what I can understand from talking to Yorkshire

:06:37.:06:40.

people, they struggled to understand how that is ring fenced and they

:06:41.:06:46.

have seen their own communities have cutbacks with educational projects

:06:47.:06:51.

and so on. They do not understand that this is ring fenced and other

:06:52.:06:54.

things are not in that causes a lot of friction in the conversations

:06:55.:07:01.

I've had with people from my neck of the woods. From the political side

:07:02.:07:06.

of this, is this a sign that Theresa May is thinking she is the new broom

:07:07.:07:11.

to sweep clean so let's get something back. We saw yesterday and

:07:12.:07:18.

on Friday. This is her saying, everything is up for consideration

:07:19.:07:22.

and scrutiny. I think she is right, people do wonder why this huge

:07:23.:07:28.

amount of money is ring fenced at this time of austerity. I think it

:07:29.:07:41.

is not so much the money or where it goes, it is the accountability for

:07:42.:07:45.

how it is spent. There are very strict rules that you cannot give

:07:46.:07:52.

aid for trade, but there must be a relationship whereby if you are

:07:53.:07:57.

working with countries and giving aid to support their trade and to

:07:58.:08:00.

boost their economy and make them more sustainable, clearly it makes

:08:01.:08:04.

sense that you will be having a different conversation. I think this

:08:05.:08:09.

is a good thing, it changes the relationship from being a

:08:10.:08:14.

beneficiary to a partner. It is a bit more meaningful. We can see if

:08:15.:08:19.

they have success with that. The main story in the Sunday time,

:08:20.:08:25.

Cameron's honours for cronies. -- The Sunday Times. There is a

:08:26.:08:31.

suggestion that they are going to receive lots of honours, including

:08:32.:08:36.

four Cabinet members who are up for knighthoods including Philip Hammond

:08:37.:08:48.

full. The honours keys are kept under lock and key and are released

:08:49.:08:55.

under in Bago only. This is a leak and it is only a proposal list. It

:08:56.:09:00.

is a lot of campaigners and very unusually it includes Philip

:09:01.:09:09.

Hammond, who would be nine people have been proposed for a knighthood.

:09:10.:09:15.

He is still serving in government as the Chancellor. There is a lot here

:09:16.:09:25.

about Cameron's aids and his advisers and George Osborne is said

:09:26.:09:37.

to get a companion of honour. The Sun of Jack Straw, the director of

:09:38.:09:41.

the remaining campaign is said to be in line for a CBE. There is a

:09:42.:09:50.

feeling that it is cronyism. That is right. I watch Theresa May recently

:09:51.:09:53.

and she seemed to be moving to the centre ground and it seemed to be an

:09:54.:09:57.

inclusive government, but the story feels like it is honours for

:09:58.:10:01.

colleagues and friends and that does not sit well with the general

:10:02.:10:05.

public. Is David Cameron's decision in the end. We will be back with

:10:06.:10:13.

more from the papers at 11:30pm. We will be having a look at what is

:10:14.:10:19.

making the news tomorrow. Coming up next, the

:10:20.:10:20.
