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

:00:13.:00:15.

Are you comfortable? Yes.

:00:16.:00:24.

Good. Fidget! With me are the political columnist

:00:25.:00:26.

for the Independent, John Rentoul and the former

:00:27.:00:28.

Government minister, Esther McVey. Nice to see you both. This is a

:00:29.:00:34.

quick hit, we will do a longer one later on. Some of the stories

:00:35.:00:40.

though, at the front pages that have come through.

:00:41.:00:41.

The FT leads on what it says will be a ?24 billion cost

:00:42.:00:44.

to the taxpayer of closing oil platforms in the North Sea.

:00:45.:00:47.

The Metro says Theresa May's interview today

:00:48.:00:48.

on Brexit is her biggest clue yet that the UK will leave

:00:49.:00:51.

the single market when it exits the European Union.

:00:52.:00:53.

The i warns that could lead to the break up of the UK,

:00:54.:00:56.

with SNP leader Nicola Sturgeon calling for another independence

:00:57.:00:59.

referendum for Scotland unless the UK hangs on to membership

:01:00.:01:01.

Tamara's Telegraph reports that Boris Johnson is in New York meeting

:01:02.:01:15.

some president-elect Donald Trump's top team on talks on a post-Brexit

:01:16.:01:20.

trade deal. And the Star forecasts and Arctic blast that has killed

:01:21.:01:26.

people in Europe and North America head here too. Let's talk about

:01:27.:01:31.

Theresa May and the interview she did with Sophy Ridge on horror new

:01:32.:01:38.

programme on our competitor channel, Sky. Very well done it was,

:01:39.:01:43.

actually. May - I am not in a model -

:01:44.:01:48.

how much clearer it do you think we are that Brexit means Brexit?

:01:49.:01:53.

Not very much clearer, which is why the Metro has to use the sort of

:01:54.:01:58.

headline that I remember learning in journalism skill, you should not put

:01:59.:02:02.

the word not in a headline, because people misread it as now, it changes

:02:03.:02:07.

the meaning of the headline. If you want to get a quick message across,

:02:08.:02:13.

you don't use the word not. George Orwell, use a positive rather

:02:14.:02:18.

than a negative when you can. I am not in model, what is she? That

:02:19.:02:24.

is, actor, there are some of that interview. She did not save much

:02:25.:02:27.

that is new. Do you think we are clearer?

:02:28.:02:35.

I thought it was a good interview. I thought Sophy was wonderful, and so

:02:36.:02:40.

was Theresa May, because, at the end of the day, when people voted for

:02:41.:02:44.

Brexit, even people like David Cameron who are out on the stump,

:02:45.:02:48.

said we will not be in the single market, because if you remain in the

:02:49.:02:52.

single market, you have freedom of movement, was set by Europe, and

:02:53.:02:56.

also be paying into it. That is why people voted to come out. So she

:02:57.:03:01.

said very clearly, Brexit means you can't have a pick 'n' mix of

:03:02.:03:05.

different things you want within the EU. We have got to come out, and

:03:06.:03:09.

that is why she said let's not get hung up in the process, let's get

:03:10.:03:16.

the best deal for Britain within the EU, what can we do? We're still

:03:17.:03:22.

neighbours, still together, but that's what we have to do, we're

:03:23.:03:25.

coming out, let's get the best deal. I thought she was very clear.

:03:26.:03:30.

She still refuses to give a straight answer to the question, are we going

:03:31.:03:34.

to be members of the single market. Everyone knows we're not, but your

:03:35.:03:37.

refuses to say so. To do with the model, but she is not

:03:38.:03:46.

in a model, this was a parting jibe on the civil servant who, for all

:03:47.:03:50.

intents and purposes, wasn't the guy to be in charge Brexit.

:03:51.:03:54.

This is Ivan Rogers, who resigned last week.

:03:55.:03:58.

As with David Cameron, he played a very good hands badly and left us in

:03:59.:04:05.

this state. The i extrapolates from us, and says

:04:06.:04:09.

the UK faces a Brexit break-up, because Nicola Sturgeon Sergei wants

:04:10.:04:13.

Scotland to have access to the single market, and if it is a

:04:14.:04:18.

complete break, she will say that as a green light to have another

:04:19.:04:22.

referendum on Scottish independence. It Brexit therefore means the

:04:23.:04:26.

break-up of the UK, do you think that is the case?

:04:27.:04:31.

Know, and we had the paper straight afterwards which expires why, and

:04:32.:04:35.

that is the Financial Times. Really, it Nicola Sturgeon has much to

:04:36.:04:39.

everybody to the top of the hill, saying Scotland could be

:04:40.:04:42.

independent, but never, ever expect how we could afford to be

:04:43.:04:47.

independent, which it couldn't. She thought the money from the North Sea

:04:48.:04:50.

was great to be billions and billions of pounds forever -

:04:51.:04:54.

actually, it is already in a deficit because people are closing down some

:04:55.:04:57.

of the North Sea oil sites. So they can't have at independence, because

:04:58.:05:03.

they couldn't get into the EU. They couldn't be a member of Europe, they

:05:04.:05:06.

won't even know what the currency is. And as it happens, England,

:05:07.:05:13.

Westminster, the UK, is paying for Scotland.

:05:14.:05:17.

The FT talks about there are massive decommissioning costs for closing

:05:18.:05:20.

down the North Sea oil platform. And they are bigger than the USA

:05:21.:05:27.

thought. Which wipes out, as Esther says, any benefit that an

:05:28.:05:30.

independent Scotland could expect. -- then previously thought. This

:05:31.:05:37.

isn't new either, Nicola Sturgeon always goes on television and says,

:05:38.:05:41.

I'm not bluffing, we are going to have a second referendum if you

:05:42.:05:44.

carry on like this, you naughty Southerners. But the FT story is

:05:45.:05:51.

very important, because it makes it ever harder for Scotland to do that.

:05:52.:05:55.

There is the evidence that the Scottish Biba had changed their mind

:05:56.:06:00.

or will change their mind when the UK leads the EU. -- Scottish people

:06:01.:06:05.

have changed their mind. I wondered had the decommissioning

:06:06.:06:09.

costs came about, and they say it allows oil companies to claw back

:06:10.:06:13.

some of the 330 billion of taxes paid since no seed production, and

:06:14.:06:18.

it was a form of tax relief, so they got the money back for

:06:19.:06:22.

decommissioning. Already, this year, it is 500 million this year in

:06:23.:06:26.

deficit. A couple of other stories before we

:06:27.:06:31.

finish this time. Firstly, the Telegraph, Boris meets Tron's top

:06:32.:06:37.

team in boost. We have said it was a surprise visit, I hope it wasn't a

:06:38.:06:42.

surprise to the Americans! That is what is important about it,

:06:43.:06:46.

people complained that Theresa May doesn't provide a running

:06:47.:06:51.

commentary, work has been going on behind the scenes to build a

:06:52.:06:54.

relationship with the incoming trump administration. I thought the most

:06:55.:07:00.

interesting detail in that story was that Theresa May's Joint Chiefs of

:07:01.:07:06.

Staff had been over to America to talk to Cadillac Tron's people. To

:07:07.:07:12.

bed away for Boris and Theresa's visits thereafter.

:07:13.:07:16.

No doubt, Boris Johnson will have said something about Mr Trump's

:07:17.:07:21.

attitude towards Russia and China? I think you have two straight

:07:22.:07:26.

talking people, I think that was probably a good precursor to Theresa

:07:27.:07:31.

May going over there. They have had several phone calls, and I believe

:07:32.:07:35.

Trump has suggested what he would like is a Galician ship like Ronald

:07:36.:07:39.

Reagan and Margaret Thatcher - he wants to build on the strong

:07:40.:07:45.

relationship that we have. I can't see that happening, can you?

:07:46.:07:50.

I mean, Donald Trump, Mr motormouth, tweeting all the time, meeting

:07:51.:07:58.

Theresa May, Mrs reserved, polite, proper...

:07:59.:08:03.

Well, they say opposites attract! Let's have a look at the

:08:04.:08:07.

Independent, this is the lead story in the online page of the

:08:08.:08:10.

Independent - terror injuries was at -- terror in

:08:11.:08:21.

Jerusalem is. Benjamin Netanyahu suggesting links with Islamic State,

:08:22.:08:24.

a group that would normally target civilians rather than military

:08:25.:08:27.

figures. We don't know, I think it's to early

:08:28.:08:32.

to say that. It is interesting, because the sort of thing hasn't

:08:33.:08:36.

happened in Israel much since the building of the separation wall.

:08:37.:08:43.

Which everyone has condemned, and is, obviously a terrible thing, but

:08:44.:08:48.

it has led to a reduction in this kind of terrorist attack on Israeli

:08:49.:08:52.

civilians. Except, I think there has been a

:08:53.:08:56.

rise in different forms of attacks on soldiers. So it had been more

:08:57.:09:01.

stabbings, more, I don't know, a hijacking and various other things.

:09:02.:09:06.

This now, I guess anyone can go on the internet, anyone can see how you

:09:07.:09:11.

can cause mass carnage with a very simple car or a wagon. You've seen

:09:12.:09:16.

it, you have ideas, and it has now been replicated elsewhere to

:09:17.:09:20.

horrific effect. They haven't said what this evidence

:09:21.:09:25.

is, of a link to Islamic State. There is no evidence of a sale of IS

:09:26.:09:29.

within Israel. It could just be a person?

:09:30.:09:34.

Except, when you look at the link between Hezbollah, Lebanon, going

:09:35.:09:39.

out to Syria, and how they're connecting up the various Islamic

:09:40.:09:44.

groups, that was one of the fears in Israel, what was coming back, what

:09:45.:09:50.

ideas of how to attack people, and here we've just seen the latest

:09:51.:09:55.

incarnation of those attacks. That's it, BBC papers light. We will

:09:56.:09:58.

get the full version at 1130 ppm. In a few minutes, Michal Hussain

:09:59.:10:03.

will be here with a full round-up of today's news,

:10:04.:10:06.

but first it's the weather.
