Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:12.:00:14.

With me are Fay Schlesinger, Head of News at the Times

:00:15.:00:20.

and the New York Times reporter Dan Bilefsky.

:00:21.:00:26.

Let's have a look at some of the front pages. Starting with The

:00:27.:00:31.

Guardian, it leads what the US presidential debate and the decision

:00:32.:00:36.

by Paul Ryan the Republican party's most senior elected politician not

:00:37.:00:40.

to campaign for Donald Trump. The Financial Times said his stance is a

:00:41.:00:43.

clear signal that Republican leaders have given up hope of Mr Trump

:00:44.:00:49.

winning the White House. The eye paper reports on a pole that gives

:00:50.:00:54.

Mrs Clinton a 14 point lead. The Telegraph says the BBC's new

:00:55.:00:58.

regulator will tell the corporation its falling short in its duty to

:00:59.:01:05.

reflect modern Britain by failing to put all the women on screen. The

:01:06.:01:12.

Treasury could lose up to 66 billion pounds a year in tax revenues

:01:13.:01:16.

according to The Times. One of Britain's biggest exporters is to

:01:17.:01:21.

quit the business lobby the CBI in protest at its stance against

:01:22.:01:25.

Brexit, according to The Daily Mail. Lots of talk about Brexit. We are

:01:26.:01:29.

going to get to that later. First it is The Donald. Six times on the

:01:30.:01:36.

front page of The Guardian. Grimacing, pouting... A lot of

:01:37.:01:46.

orange. It very orange man. Now, big Republican figure Paul Ryan. He's

:01:47.:01:52.

decided he's not going to campaign with Mr Trump and he's not going to

:01:53.:01:57.

support him. He's not withdrawing his endorsement, interestingly, but

:01:58.:02:00.

he is saying you are going to lose the White House, I don't care about

:02:01.:02:04.

you now it's about the house on the Senate. You could argue there's a

:02:05.:02:08.

sense of rats leaving a sinking ship. He is a big figure, he's been

:02:09.:02:15.

critical of Trump before. This is not his right-hand man that has

:02:16.:02:18.

abandoned him but he's a senior figure. I guess it is what people

:02:19.:02:25.

are saying is his watershed moment of this quite horrible video talking

:02:26.:02:29.

about grabbing women and treating women as second-class citizens, even

:02:30.:02:33.

making comments about his own daughter. Paul Ryan said, enough is

:02:34.:02:38.

enough. He hasn't said I believe others should be leaving him, he's

:02:39.:02:42.

leaving it to other people. Ryan is saying it's up to you what you

:02:43.:02:46.

decide. Doing it in that measured way might have more impact. We've

:02:47.:02:51.

seen others abandon Trump in more dramatic ways. This is quite serious

:02:52.:02:55.

and I guess there is that growing sense that it is becoming serious.

:02:56.:03:00.

Dan, practically what does this mean? Does it mean money that might

:03:01.:03:04.

have gone to Trump from the Republican party is actually now

:03:05.:03:09.

going to go to other races further down the ticket? Firstly, I think

:03:10.:03:13.

one has to say this is a huge hammer blow for Trump. When you have the

:03:14.:03:17.

highest elected Republican official in the land not withdrawing his

:03:18.:03:21.

support but saying he will not defend Trump, he's effectively

:03:22.:03:25.

ceding the presidency to Hillary. That's a huge psychological blow

:03:26.:03:29.

after Trump has had one of the worst weeks in his campaign. In terms of

:03:30.:03:33.

the financial effect, there was a conference call today between Mr

:03:34.:03:38.

Ryan and some of his Republican caucus and quite a few hardliners

:03:39.:03:42.

were defending Trump and lashing out at Ryan for abandoning him at the

:03:43.:03:46.

11th hour. It's not clear whether there will be a huge migration of

:03:47.:03:50.

financing at this point. There was some discussion in the last couple

:03:51.:03:54.

of days. At the end of the day Trump isn't going anywhere and it's too

:03:55.:03:57.

late in the campaign for that dynamic to change. One can expect

:03:58.:04:03.

that in recent days with Republicans clawing back their support that they

:04:04.:04:07.

could be some financial ramifications. A really key question

:04:08.:04:11.

is whether somebody with political clout like Ryan takes voters with

:04:12.:04:17.

him or not. We saw it a bit during Brexit in this country and we are

:04:18.:04:20.

seeing it in the American campaign. This core of voters who support

:04:21.:04:27.

Trump, a figure has been put at 30% of would-be Republican supporters

:04:28.:04:31.

who are so dedicated to Trump that the more you criticise him the

:04:32.:04:35.

harder they dig in. That's what they like. Some of them will be thinking

:04:36.:04:40.

I say those things at home, I don't really mean them. It's so different

:04:41.:04:44.

from when we sit in this country looking at America and thinking, how

:04:45.:04:49.

can somebody think that this tallies with what could be a potential

:04:50.:04:54.

presidential material? Those are not the people he needs to convince. The

:04:55.:05:09.

die-hard Trumpists will support him. It did not swing the pendulum. Let's

:05:10.:05:18.

move to the i Paper. Presidential prospects damaged after the Speaker

:05:19.:05:24.

of the house says he went campaign. The bottom line is, while they see

:05:25.:05:34.

the White House has gone, and that means potentially two pics of

:05:35.:05:39.

Supreme Court justices over the next four years gone to the Republican

:05:40.:05:44.

side. They are particularly concerned about the Senate going the

:05:45.:05:51.

way of the Democratic party as well. And that is something that not only

:05:52.:05:56.

will, as far as legislation is concerned, cause problems for the

:05:57.:06:00.

Republican party, it means that they cannot get their agenda of the

:06:01.:06:05.

ground. Yes. Regardless of the outcome of this election now, it's

:06:06.:06:09.

going to be so fascinating going forward. The way that we will see

:06:10.:06:13.

America behave going forward. We don't have this division in Britain.

:06:14.:06:17.

It's a totally different system in the States. In terms of the idea of

:06:18.:06:22.

a proper hammer blow and looking at the polls, you have now seen an 11%

:06:23.:06:29.

difference between Clinton and Trump going forward which shows this idea

:06:30.:06:33.

of a hammer blow might be starting to make the difference. The

:06:34.:06:38.

prediction seems to be that Trump is going to lose but he's still on the

:06:39.:06:42.

ballot and as long as he's on the ballot he win. How does he come back

:06:43.:06:49.

from this, Dan? If you were advising him, what would you say? The thing

:06:50.:06:56.

is for him to come back... Or is it too late? In the run-up to the

:06:57.:07:01.

Brexit vote in this country the polls showed Remain ahead and then

:07:02.:07:06.

we woke up the next morning shocked that Brexit had one. In terms of

:07:07.:07:18.

Trump changing the rules of the game at this point, he has a particular

:07:19.:07:24.

personality that has shown itself in new 22 advice and immutable to the

:07:25.:07:29.

polls. He is who he is. It's hard to see how he could have this kind of

:07:30.:07:35.

huge cataclysmic metamorphosis with one month left before the ballots. I

:07:36.:07:39.

find it hard to see unless you give him a lobotomy or shock treatment

:07:40.:07:45.

that he is going to change in a viable way. That is his attraction

:07:46.:07:49.

to his core constituency. Whether that's enough to win is a whole

:07:50.:07:55.

other matter. This type of him bragging about his groping threatens

:07:56.:07:59.

to energise and decided millennial voters and younger women who might

:08:00.:08:06.

get off their seats and go and vote because they find the idea of a

:08:07.:08:13.

Trump presidency anathema. I watched quite a lot of the debate. Hillary

:08:14.:08:18.

didn't really land any massive blows. It didn't feel obvious that

:08:19.:08:23.

she had one, in spite of the most horrific video having come out. If

:08:24.:08:29.

you're turning away from Trump and looking to Clinton for inspiration

:08:30.:08:33.

it doesn't feel like it's there. That's the problem, isn't it? These

:08:34.:08:37.

are two of the most unpopular candidates in the history of the

:08:38.:08:41.

presidency. Hillary is a dreadful candidate, there's no question about

:08:42.:08:45.

it. She's not a good candidate and she has to have a narrative beyond

:08:46.:08:52.

not being Trump. We spoke to a lot of undecided voters today including

:08:53.:08:56.

many women and my impression is that there is such a viscerally strong

:08:57.:09:02.

reaction among women to his groping and over nasty sexism, and also the

:09:03.:09:07.

fact American politics has become like a literal mud wrestling reality

:09:08.:09:12.

game show that is so unpresidential and out of sync with the kind of

:09:13.:09:16.

decorum of the modern American presidency, that there is a backlash

:09:17.:09:22.

fermenting among voters and not just Hillary supporters. Some people who

:09:23.:09:26.

might be in favour of Trump are now thinking maybe this guy isn't so

:09:27.:09:30.

presidential. There's no doubt people are tired of dynastic

:09:31.:09:33.

politics, they are tired of the Clintons. She herself has admitted

:09:34.:09:38.

she's not very effective at connecting with people on a human

:09:39.:09:43.

level. Anything can happen. Absolutely. The Times, hard Brexit

:09:44.:09:53.

could cost ?66 billion a year. Just to put this in context, the

:09:54.:10:02.

projected revenues for Britain for 2016-17 R ?716 billion. It's nearly

:10:03.:10:08.

one tenth. This is contained in a Treasury document which has been

:10:09.:10:11.

linked to us. It's what has been given to ministers, when they are

:10:12.:10:16.

talking about what is Brexit going to look like, this is worse case

:10:17.:10:21.

scenario. This is the idea we come out of the negotiations, haven't

:10:22.:10:25.

sorted out any trade deals and go straight onto the WTO tariff. That

:10:26.:10:28.

is worse case and it probably won't be that bad but they still put the

:10:29.:10:34.

possibilities from a loss of ?38 billion to ?66 billion a year. That

:10:35.:10:38.

is the idea we become less attractive for trading, that foreign

:10:39.:10:41.

investment doesn't come in. We haven't seen all the details but I

:10:42.:10:45.

think what's interesting in this debate between hard and soft Brexit

:10:46.:10:49.

is your seeing the dividing lines we saw in the run-up to Brexit and it's

:10:50.:10:54.

getting a bit nasty. Is this the same document? Yes. They haven't

:10:55.:11:03.

changed it at all. Does it have more voracity now that it's been leaked

:11:04.:11:08.

from a Brexit government as opposed to from a Remain government? It's

:11:09.:11:17.

the same thing. The pro-hard Brexit people, Liam Fox's ilk, will argue

:11:18.:11:22.

this is scaremongering, this is putting figures out there that are

:11:23.:11:30.

worst-case scenarios. I think it's starting to... The dividing lines

:11:31.:11:35.

are rearing their ugly head again. Dan, is this project fear or is this

:11:36.:11:42.

Project reality? Now that Brexit is, or at least triggering Article 50 is

:11:43.:11:46.

five months away... My impression is that this country is experiencing a

:11:47.:11:50.

wake-up call where there was a lot of unreality about the Brexit vote.

:11:51.:11:57.

May was waffling about her real plan and now the country has woken up to

:11:58.:12:01.

the fact Brexit is going to happen, the pound has died, prices for

:12:02.:12:05.

importers are going to go up. Prices of goods are going to go up for

:12:06.:12:11.

consumers, unemployment could increase and suddenly thinking the

:12:12.:12:15.

future economy is not looking so rosy. There is go straight onto The

:12:16.:12:22.

Daily Mail. JCB tycoon quits anti-Brexit CBI. One of Britain's

:12:23.:12:27.

biggest exporters is to quit the CBI in protest at its stance against

:12:28.:12:31.

Brexit. The CBI is saying it's going to cost us a lot of money, the

:12:32.:12:35.

Treasury is backing that but this man is leaving the CBI. This is Lord

:12:36.:12:43.

Bamford, Tory donor and a very pro-Brexit in the run-up to Brexit.

:12:44.:12:47.

He wrote all his workers in the run-up to say we should be voting

:12:48.:12:52.

Brexit, Brexit is the way this country will succeed. It's not that

:12:53.:12:56.

surprising that his company would quit the CBI. The CBI in The Times

:12:57.:13:01.

this morning, we had an interview with the head of the CBI saying the

:13:02.:13:05.

proposal from the Home Secretary last week on foreign workers, this

:13:06.:13:10.

is the idea businesses would have to identify foreign workers, it was a

:13:11.:13:15.

terrible policy, divisive. Almost a suggestion of it being racist and

:13:16.:13:19.

anti-business. Again this is dividing lines and you can feel, The

:13:20.:13:24.

Daily Mail was a paperback came out for Brexit, and you can feel there

:13:25.:13:28.

is a drive of saying we need to put our foot down, we need to have the

:13:29.:13:31.

Brexit that we really wanted which was outside the single market. The

:13:32.:13:37.

Times was Remain. Yes. It's clear from that headline! It's great to
