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. | :10:07. | :10:10. |
