27/11/2016 The Papers

the Formula One world championship after finishing second

Team-mate Lewis Hamilton won the race.

We were taken aback, because Mr Fillon sounded like one of our

producers! Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be With me are Nigel Nelson,

who's Political Editor at both the Sunday Mirror and Sunday People

and the Columinst for The Telegraph leads

with its own interview with the Polish Prime Minister,

Beata Szydlo, who says that the European Union will have

to compromise with Britain The Express says the Government

must come clean over what it calls a pension

shock for millions. It says 30 million British people

could have to work until they're 70 The Financial Times' main story

is that eight big Italian banks could fail if the Italian

Prime Minister Matteo Renzi loses the constitutional

referendum next week. The Metro says a prisoner

commits suicide in a British jail every three days,

in what it calls an epidemic fuelled The 'i' newspaper splashes

across its front page that It says Jeremy Corbyn is under fire

for praising the Cuban The Guardian has the story

of Francois Fillon defeating Alain Juppe to become

the conservative candidate to become It quotes him as saying "France

is more right-wing We will start with the Daily

Telegraph, EU must compromise on Brexit, it says. Who is saying this?

This is the Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo. Very good. That was

close enough. I'm getting there. She is coming over for a summit tomorrow

and what she is saying to Daily Telegraph is this idea that there is

room for negotiation. Because we were beginning to wonder. This will

be welcome to Theresa May. If there is some compromise that we can do,

then great. But it appeared from other European leaders there was no

compromise. It does feel like it is the first time we have heard anybody

from that side saying this. Yes and it would be music to the ears of

Theresa May and it is significant and I can't believe this is the

first over Anglo Polish summit, but it is. But it will concentrate on

security and defence, that is a huge issue for Poland and we are sending

troops to the north eastern border. Instead of the economy. So it is

taking the conversation about Brexit there are other things. Speaking of

security, the other story, uncovered the Isil property to attack Europe.

How much detail is there? Not a lot. But there might be. There is an

interview with our top officer in the military coalition. What they

have been doing is where they have managed to get hold of stuff from

so-called Islamic State, they have got militant's lap taps and phones

and hard drives that they're being able to pass on to intelligence

agencies. This is after the capture of a Syrian town that was a gate way

for Jihadists going to Turkey. That will have a huge amount of

intelligence? It should do. Bearing in mind it is Raqqa, the main centre

for Isis. Getting hold of this stuff and if it does reveal plots that

they have got set up in Europe, it could be valuable and what we need

to know is what is in them. They have set up a laboratory. So it is

so much, the volume of material so they have set up a lab to plunder

the trove. The Guardian, Fillon defeats Juppe. It doesn't look as if

the left will have much of a look in. Holland is so unpopular now it

is looking like it is Fillon against marine Le Pen. And the Guardian goes

through Fillon's manifesto and it sounds a bit like what has happened

in America, that he is talking about again part of austerity drive, but

making people who can least afford it pay for austerity. The idea of

cutting public workers, 500,000 of them, tax breaks for the rich,

cutting benefits. Not quite sure that is the kind of message in this

new world order that we seem to have created that will go down well.

Except if you have going to take on the navl front. - - National Front.

Yes he seems to have come from nowhere, but he has always said that

Thatcher, he was a great fan of Margaret Thatcher and what he is

proposing is a soft, if you like, right, centrist right, and that is

as the only way you can take him on. But the voters at the moment clearly

like a maverick. Whoever that might be. In this case he is establishment

and Marine Le Pen is the maverick. But we don't know who is running for

the socialist. Do you think she is a maverick? Yes it is the same kind of

thing that's happening with... In a variety of countries. The Trump

thing is the obvious one. It doesn't matter what his politics are, that

he is rowing back from, it is that he is different and not

establishment. Now the Metro, suicide in jail every three days. We

have had this sort of summit of prison officers recently talking

about how they can't do on with this situation in jails with the violence

as well and there is supposed to be a root and branch look at the are

regimes. Michael Gove actually developed some changes and

restructuring to jails that were widely welcomed as far as I recall

by penal reformers and campaigners. But I mean these are a shocking

figures, 102 have killed themselves that is ten times higher than the

rest of the population. Pressures on prison staff, shortage of prison

staff, overcrowding, violence. And also if they're locked up a lot

people will be depressed and little in the way of rehabilitation for

people in prisons. Because they haven't got the staff. So I do think

this will help the prison officers' case, they're arguing they can't put

in rehabilitation plans, because there are not enough of them. More

and more of this will happen, but the figures, the first time we have

seen the exact figure and that is scary. I'm going to leap back to the

Daily Telegraph, spot my cue won't you? Boris, our man in Havana? This

is a who should attend Fidel Castro's funeral. We know Jeremy

Corbyn will go. He doesn't count - in so many ways. I think it is right

the Foreign Secretary should be there. I don't think it is a job for

the Prime Minister. In the same way in America I don't think President

Obama should go. It should be, but the Secretary of State John Kerry

should go. The Trump camp say neither should. But President Obama

began to soften up the relationship and that is why they have cruise

ships going and they're lifting sanctions and improving trade.

America will benefit as it comes, as Cuba comes out of the Fidel Castro

regime and Obama has done a lot of things. Are you saying Obama should

go. No but Trump is still not president and it is nothing to do

with him. That is true. It is a question of the level of dignitary

you send. Which begs the question, in this tiny detail of diplomacy if

we had Nigel Farage as an ambassador would he go. Perhaps he could be our

ambassador to Cuba? There is a lot of people would like to send him

there. Cigars, he likes smoking. Staying with the Daily Telegraph, Ed

Balls, there he is, being held aloft, not because he has won

Strictly, but because he is being booted out. The judges were unkind

about him. But I think he did a legendary Gangnam Style and his jive

wasn't bad, but last night? It was the end. I find this fascinating,

because I think the Daily Telegraph sums it up, perfectly, the piece by

Judith Woods saying he was demonised as a politician and lionised as a

dancer and now the nation has this huge affection for Ed Balls which

they didn't seem to have before. And this can't hurt him, if he will make

a political come back. Everyone thinks good on you, it was all

great. You gave it your best shot and he did. He put everything into

it. Maybe drop the fake tan. It shows some political come back.

Michael Portillo has made a successful career having been lost

his seat and become a serious historian. But he came back and

found he didn't like and decided to travel the world. We have spent

months talking about the desire for the maverick or the authentic and

isn't it a tragedy that politicians only become human when they're in

the in office. Now the financial times, the Uber for laundry spin.

What a long title. What is it? Is your washing machine on now? I have

no idea. You see the idea is while you're not using it somebody else

could be. How would that make any money. Because it is about smart

machines. You could sit here and switch on your washing machine and

somebody else's laundry could come in as the Uber laundry. And the only

slight problem that they do identify is what happens if it comes out ow

torn. Or somebody leaves in a blue sock with your white shirts. There

could be litigation. Go back to launderettes. That is it for The

Papers. We are back later and all the front-pages are online on the

BBC News web-site. Now its time for Meet the Author -

this week Jim Naughtie meets the American author Jodi Picoult

to talk about her latest novel Jodi Picoult is a storyteller

who has a way of touching questions
