21/11/2016 The Papers

at the University College London. The Japanese Prime Minister has said

they are ready to deal with whatever they have to deal with. We will keep

you updated. Time for the papers. Welcome to our look ahead to what

the papers are bringing us tomorrow, we're joined by a correspondent from

the London Evening Standard, and European features reporter at the

Wall Street Journal. Before we hear they have to say about the papers

that have a quick, brief look at what they are bringing us. The

Financial Times leads on the prime Minster's speech at the CBI

conference, telling business leaders she wants to avoid a cliff edge

after Brexit. The Metro leads with the news that the number of

polyester bags left on beaches have halved after shot. Giving them away

for free. And the Guardian paper writes about a new NHS initiative

that might require patients to bring our ID if they require medical

treatment in hospital. And the times warns that Russia is deploying

ballistic missiles to a small region bordering Poland and Lithuania, the

paper claims it is in retaliation for Nato expansion. Let's begin with

the Financial Times. A leap of faith as the FT described Theresa May

hinting at a soft landing to avoid a Brexit cliff edge. The phrase has

been used by a number of people now. She is trying to reassure the

business world. There's no league, no jump. I hope that she is

stretching tonight because she was doing some impressive verbal

gymnastics today. Talking about this cliff edge, suggesting, or

interpreting that they would perhaps be a transition period after article

50 is triggered, which is confusing, she is backpedalling, and also

talking about how employees and consumers may be represented on

corporate boards, but it sort of an abstract way. She did a lots of

backpedalling today. It is interesting because the original

intention was for the Prime Minister to reassure the CBI after her

anti-business rhetoric of the party conference, some of them were quite

unnerved by that, so she went into reassure them, and she said to them

there will not be a cliff edge, we understand you have concerns, and

business was delighted with that, and then just a few hours later

number ten was backpedalling and Downing Street, in the afternoon

lobby briefing, saying, actually, that is not quite what she meant, we

are not hinting at specific measures to avoid the cliff edge, they will

not necessarily be a long, transitional deal, which Brexit MPs

fear will become permanent, and that we will be out by 2019 and stick to

the original timetable. So it is more a timeline we're talking about?

Yes, and for a lot of people this will exemplify the fact that they

are desperate to find out some detail on the timeline, and what

crunch points are going to be in the negotiation. The Prime Minister said

several times in her speech, and in her response to questions, that she

would not give a running commentary, and I think people are actually

beginning to ask for more meat on the bones. The problem is that that

is exactly what it is, negotiations, so she cannot promise anything right

now, because she does not know what she can promise. Yes, but business

leaders do not make plans for two years, they make them for five, ten

years. This was a missed opportunity for Theresa May who has not yet

earned the trust of corporate leaders, they are still waiting for

more information, and saying one thing then changing later on the

day, it is no way to establish trust. That is probably why she

doesn't want to get daily updates, because it will keep happening.

Another story you have spotted, US banks face higher costs after eight

it for tat Brussels row. Explain this to me. This is a response by

the European Union to some rules which were brought in by Washington

back in 2014, which the EU claim basically amounted to protectionism,

and at the time they threatened to retaliate, and what it is is the

banks are having to keep capital, they will be made to keep more

capital in the EU, as collateral, if you like, for them fleeing at some

point. And this is potentially going to hurt the City of London, one of

the biggest financial centres in the world, because not only will these

large foreign banks which are based here have to retain capital here,

but they will also have to keep some in the EU, and that could make life

difficult for them. This is a huge drag if you are a US bank. Because

banks want to have their money out in the world, they want to use it to

surprise surprise, make more money. What we are hearing is the EU

saying, no, we want you to give a big pool of your money in the EU so

that if there is some sort of a crisis, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs,

you can cover yourselves. It is the most produced product in the world,

the $1 note. Produced even more than coat hangers. We move the. This is

worrying, if it stands up, that in their boots in a new threat to

Europe, action challenging Nato, according to the Times, this is the

area of a build-up of tension is, isn't it? Nato have had quite a

presence there for some time. Yes, they have upped their troops and

equipment to the eastern eastern edge of of its domain, and Russia is

claiming that it is responding to that action by moving missiles into

an area between Poland and Lithuania. So, right on the border.

And it is worrying, it was going to make life uncomfortable for many

European leaders... But it is not unexpected. It is not unexpected but

in the current climate where we don't yet know what the new

relationship will be between President-elect Donald Trump when he

takes power in the White House, and the Kremlin, it is pretty unnerving,

I think, for Europe, which is stuck in the middle, and the Nato

Secretary General today said, well, this is entirely defensive and

proportionate, we have absolutely no plans to expand, it is just about as

protecting our own interests, and the defending them, but, what

happens when President Trump takes over? This is almost like, is the

Kremlin calling his bluff? Is it trying to test him to see if he will

stand up to them or not? It is quite difficult and complicated and an

uncomfortable interplay between the major superpowers, and Europe is

kind of stuck in the middle. What we know about Donald Trump so far is

that he is not a big fan of war but he is not a big fan of Nato either.

It'll take time to figure out what he feels. One of the weirdest things

about this story is that this news comes from an interview with the

film-maker, Oliver Stone. That is where these quotes come from. OK,

interesting. The Daily Mail, show your passport if you want hospital

treatment. This goes back to an ongoing problem which has been

highlighted for a long time now, particularly by the Daily Mail, it

is to try to curb health tourism. Yes, this comes out of a Public

Accounts Committee report, a meeting of MPs today, they had the permanent

Secretary of the Department of Health in, and he suggested that

from now on, if you are not a British national you will have to

show your passport in order to get medical treatment. The idea being

that they want to crack down on medical tourism. And according to

recent government paid ?674 million to other European countries, just

Europe, not the rest of the world, for treatment that the British

received in those countries, but has only got ?50 million in return. Now,

obviously hundreds of millions of pounds could be hugely beneficial to

the NHS, but there are a couple of concerns, one is that it is against

the culture of the NHS to turn people away, and then the government

will have to be very careful to make sure that it is not for emergency

treatment, and obviously Theresa May said at PMQ last month, when this

came up regarding maternity care and a south London hospital that

obviously for emergency treatment people will still be treated, but it

will be interesting to see if this goes beyond operations, scans, test,

what they decide to do then, will you need to turn up with your birth

certificate and your passport and goodness knows what else? Well it is

all going to change after Brexit anyway. This makes a great Daily

Mail headline but my question is a reader is, is this a structural

change? Or is it just a surface level change. Reminding people to

bring a passport seems very surface level to me. The other issue is

enforcement. Perhaps you will recruit more costs from foreign

people receiving medical care but it costs a lot of money to enforce

policies like this, what sort of computer setup do need to check the

validity by passport, and all that... It is not in the bones of

the NHS to turn away those who need treatment. It is not, and that is

why my point about emergency care is crucial because people will be able

to stomach people aboard bin charge for a test or a hip operation or

something like that, but if they turn up about to give birth or

something... It happens in America, which is very different, but it does

happen in America. There are always always stories about that. Horrific

stories. And it is happening here. Pita bread is an area with a high

level of immigration and Saint Georges Hospital in tooting also,

where there are maternity care pilots to make sure this is already

in place, and certainly in Peterborough where it has been going

on a bit longer, they cling to have been making savings, so we will need

to see. We have only got two minutes left so can we do hyper fast

broadband? The Daily Telegraph. Essentially the government is going

to... Cracker! More high-speed and in it. But the government for me has

a hard time picking winners and comes to technology. So investing ?2

billion in high-speed broadband could be great day but what of

technology changes and there's a better way to get Internet in the

future? And is it reaching everyone who needs to reach? Some people

don't even yet have broadband. Absolutely. What is interesting is

that although most of the focus of this campaign is on rural England,

Central London is a massive problem. London is 26 in the league of

European capitals when it comes to superfast broadband. Partly because

we have ageing buildings, it can be difficult to dig up, the

infrastructure is very complicated, but they certainly need to do more.

That was brilliant. Really fast. Metro. Halving our beach litter. A

huge problem across the world. I have a plastic bag use, I admit it,

I use them as trash bags, but I do pay the 5p charge. They make good

poop bags if you have a dog as well. And it saves money. Or, not anymore,

because you had to pay for them. But it proves it is working. Yes,

beaches are cleaner, much better for marine wildlife, and if it continues

hopefully other countries follow suit. Thank you both for taking us
