Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are Kate McCann, Senior Political Correspondent | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
at the Telegraph and Martha Gill, Political Reporter at | :00:23. | :00:24. | |
The Times has news that a state-run Chinese company is the largest | :00:25. | :00:34. | |
provider of CCTV equipment to UK clients. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
The Financial times leads with the decision to go ahead | :00:39. | :00:43. | |
with the new nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point in Somerset. | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
The Metro devotes its front page to a shooting in London, | :00:48. | :00:53. | |
where the victim was the mother of nine children. | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
that UKIP members want Nigel Farage to return and lead the Party - | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
he stepped down after the vote to leave the European Union | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
The Telegraph leads with the news that Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
has re-affirmed his long-standing opposition to building a third | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
The Daily Mirror reports that police looking for the missing | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
child Ben Needham have made a breakthrough. | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
The toddler disappeared in 1991 on the Greek island of Kos. | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
And the guardian says that UK companies paid out a record | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
?44 billion in bonuses last year So let's begin... | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
Let's start with the story dominating today which is China | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
getting a green light to power Britain. It may not be the headline | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
all the papers would have chosen, but what do you make of this deal, | :01:50. | :01:55. | |
Martha? This is the deal to put a power station at Hinkley Point. It | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
was put on a pause by Theresa May for a few months and was originally | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
put in place by George Osborne as part of its programme of | :02:08. | :02:08. | |
strengthening relations with China. It would have been a disaster for | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
our relationship with China if it had not gone ahead, but people today | :02:20. | :02:29. | |
said it is an economic disaster. It will cost us ?30 million estimated | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
over the lifetime of this plant and other energy sources are expected to | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
be a lot cheaper. Value for money, Kate? And the political point of | :02:42. | :02:47. | |
view? Is difficult to say if it is value for money, because we are | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
trying to predict how much energy we will need in the future, what type | :02:51. | :02:54. | |
and also what the cost of it will be energy sources are already becoming | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
more difficult, so the prices are higher. This is predict is open in | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
2025 and that may not happen. It's also the first big decision of | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
Theresa May's Premiership. It is a difficult one and is opposed by many | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
people for different reasons. It was always going to be hard for her. It | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
would be almost impossible for her to reverse it at the point it has | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
got to now, so it's a case of wait and see, though there are concerns | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
that the technology will be out of date by the time it finally comes | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
online, so it's very difficult to call whether it is good value for | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
money at this point. I don't think we will know. But as with big | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
infrastructure projects, they always go over Budget and take longer than | :03:38. | :03:44. | |
expected. Interesting. Let us move on to the Financial Times. Their | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
headline, further interest rain -- rate cuts remain despite the Bank of | :03:52. | :03:54. | |
England and their bright outlook. Mark Carney has had to row back a | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
bit from the gloom he predicted in the wake of Brexit, hasn't he? Well, | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
he started the row back as soon as the Brexit vote was announced, | :04:08. | :04:15. | |
trying to do it in a calming voice. What's happened now is despite the | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
Bank of England having said that things are working, that the | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
situation might not be quite as gloomy as we think, they say a | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
further interest rate cut is still on the cards, which suggests that | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
some people in the industry have been saying, that once they trigger | :04:34. | :04:39. | |
article 50, a recession is on the way and this doesn't completely rule | :04:40. | :04:45. | |
that out. Be done about business investment in the long term, but | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
consumer spending has held up. I don't know if that's to do with a | :04:50. | :04:55. | |
sunny weather. Possibly, but nobody knows. I think that's what the bank | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
are all so saying, they can cut interest rates, but not saying | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
they're going to do either. Consumer spending is better than expected, | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
but people were told over and over that Brexit would trigger world War | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
three and that hasn't happened of course, but we haven't left the EU | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
yet. The crunch point will come in two years when we will really see | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
the impact. Business investment as it says is expected to slow more | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
sharply than consumer spending and that is a worry, because businesses | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
employ a lot of people in the UK, so what does that mean for jobs? If you | :05:31. | :05:32. | |
think about it in the round, if you're going to cut rates | :05:33. | :05:49. | |
again, that's good for people spending, then offer people saving. | :05:50. | :05:52. | |
If you have a situation where people are not getting much money back on | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
their savings or able to invest, you could possibly end up with a | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
situation where if people lose their jobs, it impacts upon them twice and | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
the Bank of England are saying we could be in a brighter position, but | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
it could worsen. So it is unpredictable. Good news according | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
to the Financial Times for the Scottish whiskey industry. | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
Presumably because the weaker pound is good for exports? Yes, we can all | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
be proud of that. You criticising our choice of refreshment this | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
evening? Yes. Although there is a slight warning point to note in this | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
small article here, because it says although the value... No, that's | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
wrong. Although the value of exports have risen, the value has dipped. We | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
are exporting more, but getting less money back, so that's not ideal. | :06:42. | :06:49. | |
Let's move on to the Daily Express. And this somewhat bizarre headline | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
says amazing bid to keep Nigel Farage. Could it happen? They want | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
to keep him as the leader of Ukip. The new leader is supposed to be | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
announced tomorrow. It sounds like something out of a Roald Dahl book. | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
The article points out there are some Ukip voters spoiling their | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
ballot paper and writing, please Nigel, come back. He didn't rule it | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
out when he quit a few months ago saying he wanted to spend more time | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
with his family do personal things. He did say if it looks like the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
Government are making a mess of Brexit I will come back in 2020 and | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
five for the best deal possible. So I would not be surprised if he came | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
back, but I would be surprised if it happened this weekend. Ukip are | :07:38. | :07:50. | |
about to elect a new leader. It won't be Douglas Carswell, he is the | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
party's only MP and Nigel has said tonight he can't understand why he | :07:54. | :07:55. | |
is in the party, you doesn't agree with anything we say, so he almost | :07:56. | :07:58. | |
seems uncomfortable about being a Ukip MP. So it feels like a | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
last-ditch, I'm going to have my final say before I bow completely. | :08:02. | :08:09. | |
Can you see him doing that? Well, you certainly been able to | :08:10. | :08:15. | |
reincarnate himself from certain disasters, but what is true is he | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
will remain a shadowy presence in Ukip, particularly if Diana James | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
who is currently the favourite, winners the plays. She is very much | :08:26. | :08:33. | |
a Nigel Farage fan. Indeed in her announcement she said she didn't | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
even want to be leader. The next four said let's keep everything the | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
same as it was under Nigel. So we can expect to see something of him | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
in the party. We will await the announcement tomorrow afternoon. On | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
to the Telegraph. EU exploits are reinforced -- forced rethink on | :08:53. | :09:00. | |
Brexit. This suggests senior figures in the EU are playing hardball with | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
Britain in order to force them to rethink Brexit. The likelihood of | :09:08. | :09:12. | |
that is uncertain, Theresa May certainly means business about that, | :09:13. | :09:22. | |
we don't need to repeat her phrase. But the mood has been soured by | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
Nigel Farage, who I think all of one of the senior delegates seated. I | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
can't see them coming to an agreement any time soon. I think | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
Theresa May's plan to say very little about Brexit is that when you | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
say something very little about something everyone is talking about, | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
it allows the other side to fill the gap and the vacuum, so we have seen | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
it happen to Theresa May on her own backbenchers wet Tory MPs started to | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
define the terms of Brexit might mean and Theresa May has been clear | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
that Brexit means Brexit, buzzwords tell us any more. But the EU is now | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
talking about what I could look like and if you don't trigger article 50 | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
quickly, then we are going to define the terms. All the other 27 | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
countries are meeting without us for the first time, that will be a big | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
occasion, we will be in the room and won't know what will happen. David | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Cameron warned us about that before we left. So unless Theresa May is | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
able to set out the terms, we will see more of these stories and we may | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
see the rhetoric and conversation about Brexit slinking towards a | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
hard-line EU position of we won't compromise, despite the fact Theresa | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
May keep same Brexit will be good for the UK, we will make a go of it. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Let us move on to the Guardian, a picture of Hillary Clinton, back on | :10:52. | :11:00. | |
the Trail. It led me to wonder, there's been so much focus in this | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
presidential campaign on the health of Hillary Clinton and on Donald | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
Trump. Can you see a time when our politicians are going to have to | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
reveal all about the medical history? Is certainly seemed very | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
uncomfortable, is not something we've seen before, but there's been | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
a lot of focus on and speculation on politicians and their health. Nigel | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
Farage, he was certainly under a lot of scrutiny during the elections. | :11:29. | :11:34. | |
He's complained of bad health. And I suppose with the new desire for | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
transparency that we see -- have seen in the last few weeks, this is | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
a possibility in the future. I wouldn't rule out anything anymore. | :11:50. | :11:51. | |
My favourite part of the article was right at the bottom when it says | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
Donald Trump exercises because his speeches are so hot they are like a | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
sauna. So that's a form of exercise for him. Maybe that is the answer to | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
the obesity crisis. Now the Daily Mail and pictures of Ringo Starr and | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
Paul McCartney because there is a new documentary about the Beatles. | :12:12. | :12:20. | |
You can see what they have done with the headline. I hate to say it, but | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
-- but it is nice to see men are being criticised for their parents | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
on the front page. I know it won't do much for equality, but these are | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
two men who are still well celebrate, but we are focusing on | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
their hair colour, which is what happens to women almost every day of | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
the week. So I think it is a bit of a high five moment. Thank you. All | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
the front pages are on a line on the BBC News website where can you -- | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
you can read a detailed review. You can see as their with each night's | :13:00. | :13:05. | |
edition published shortly after we have finished. Thank you to my | :13:06. | :13:07. | |
guests. Goodbye. | :13:08. | :13:13. |
