06/03/2017 The Papers

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

With me will be the former Labour Party adviser and comedian,

Ayesha Hazarika and the Conservative commentator, Tim Montgomerie.

The i says National Insurance rates could increase

for self-employed people as the Chancellor Phillip Hammond

seeks to raise up to three billion pounds to fund social care.

The Financial Times leads with comments from Peugeot's chief

executive, who said a 'hard Brexit' that incurs import tariffs could be

a 'nice opportunity' for the company to develop their suppliers

Scientists could be able to develop a single pill to help

regulate blood pressure, The Express says, after their

research showed a link between the brain and hypertension.

Theresa May announces new grammar school plans in the Telegraph,

that will help to end what she claims is the 'brutal

and unacceptable' truth of selection by income.

The Guardian has the same story. The paper says some free schools could

opt to select pupils based on academic merit. The Daily Mail says

there will also be funding to help some children from low income

families to travel to selected schools. The row between President

Trump and the former FBI director James Comey, who is still the FBI

director, by the way, over wiretapping allegations, is the

front page story in the Times. And front page story in the Times. And

the daily Star reports that three televised jabbing slick football

will soon disappear as beauty sports Centre 1.2 billion deal to screen

all matches. Champions League football has disappeared from

Manchester United. That was cruel. You will be back.

The express, may warns Lord not to wreck EU deal. She turned up last

week, was at last week for the week before? To make sure that

understood. She sat there in the majestic glory, casting an eye over

them. This looks like a pre-emptive strike against the Lords who might

well give another defeat and they are trying to send a message saying

do not mess with us because this could mess up the deal. I think that

is a bit outlandish. The idea that giving more scrutiny, that

parliamentarians would want to vote for a bad deal for the EU, I think

that posturing is a bit much. Even people who are very strongly remain

would not want to go against the best interests of the country and I

think most people have accepted Brexit is happening. It is more

complicated, because if there is a mechanism whereby the deal can be

rejected, then Theresa May is saying that gives Europe and incentive not

to give Britain a good deal because if they give Britain a bad thing it

is more likely to be rejected and so they have the incentive to cooperate

in the negotiations. That is why and the idea that the Liberal Democrats

are proposing of a second referendum actually undermines, potentially

fatally, the negotiating position. What happened on the article 50

vote, how many people went against it? A very small number. The truth

is, most parliamentarians, even though the might not personally be

comfortable with it, they are democrats and that food should they

would not go against it. Apart from the Democrats. -- Liberal Democrats.

They are quite small. Nobody really knows how the negotiations are going

to shake down and everybody is doing a lot of speculation, if we do this

and that they were sent a bad signal and they will use that against us.

The will use lots of things against us. That is the cut and thrust of

negotiating. Let's move on. If you should achieve different kerchief

pledges to deepen UK presence. Pearce is the French company. They

have taken over. There is the fear that they might decide to cost cup

and, as a result, some British jobs will go. The suggestion is a hard

Brexit might make things more interesting. You should clearly and

kicking quite a bit of public relations hearing. There is a big

worry at the top of government about the car industry after Brexit. We

have had Apple, Facebook, the technology firms, investing and that

is an industry we can be confident has a good future whatever

negotiations have transpired. The supply chain for the car industry is

spread over several countries and people are worried it could disrupt

the supply chain is a Brexit negotiations are doing well. Peugeot

are saying they are committed to Britain. Because they are committed

to Britain, they will invest in the component chain in our country. Even

after a hard Brexit. Peugeot even if they played however, they could get

if few sweeteners. Nissan did. That is what they are hoping for. People

are optimistic, but that is concerned about what happen after

2021 when they decide about where the new generation of cards will be

manufactured. Also, I think what Tim said is right about the car

manufacturing industry, because these companies like Facebook, the

big trendy tech companies, they don't like they are comfortable

here, but there is a political message the government will want to

get out these blue-collar jobs, the manufacturing jobs they are saying

we will try to be a country that build things again, it is perverted

back control. It will a shiver across the country if it looks like

some of these manufacturing jobs are at risk. They will do everything

they can to show that is not the case. Our tax system, Labour laws,

the skills of a lot of our workforce, in the released in

particular, they have been making cars to a high standard for a long

time and any fractures are comfortable with the expertise of

the British Labour market. Uncertainty is happening because of

Brexit but sometimes undersell ourselves as a nation and some of

the qualities that we do have. You also have elections in Germany and

France and you will have trade union leaders and others in industry in

those countries lobbying prospective candidates to say Peugeot, do you

know? The pressure will be there. Mr Trump, you cannot get through The

Papers without talking about him. His new travel order bans citizens

from six Muslim nations, Iraq has been taken off the list. The

suggestion is, from the administration, that they will get

this through the courts. It is difficult to see what has changed.

They have taken Iraq of the list. Interestingly, Saudi Arabia is still

not on the list and that is a huge generator of terrorism and they have

said they will be more security for people who have visas and green

cards and they will give people ten days to start preparing for it. I

can see this being accepted without any pushback. I think they will face

the same judicial resistance to gain and the same civil disobedience as

well. I think this will be Muslim and Mark two. The problem is that he

has is that he said on the campaign trail, barn and some have suggested

Muslim Kim stood before the word ban were in the same sentence. Those two

words were there. He simply cannot say I am going to make the vetting

of Maastricht. You cannot simply say I will make it tougher for these

people, he has to have the word ban in there. He has painted himself

into a corner. He will insist, because he needs to get this through

the courts, but it is not a Muslim band, radio Giuliani said to him

that Donald Trump wants is a Muslim band so how does he make it legal?

The courts are not stupid. They will note that evidence and they might

well strike it down. There will also be an awareness, as much as some of

us worry about what this means for relations between west and the

Muslim world, this is a popular policy amongst the people who voted

for Trump. This is exactly the kind of policy that they wanted when they

put in the White House. Regardless of the fact that the flak he will

get from governments around the world, he is committed to this.

There is a suggestion that his popularity has come up amongst

Republicans as a result of this. Could this be different this front

page of The Times. Trump hits out FBI. Yes, the party faithful will

love him bashing President Obama but said the president and the FBI acted

illegally, that is a whole different kettle of fish, isn't it? I am more

interested in how Barack Obama looks like he walked out of the net in

70s. He looks like he is in a 70s cop show. It is amazing. That is

what happens when you have to worry about is what shade of leather

jacket you are going to wear, rather than what to do about Kim Jong Un. I

was in America last year for the times and the number of times Trump

said something controversial under the bus is it, you cannot accuse

John McGinn of being a failure because he was a prisoner of war.

When he mocked the disabled reporter. My mum would send me to

bed without such a thing without key. Making up a claim that Obama

wiretapped does seem like a step too far, but as President... He is

saying that the FBI is lying and you have the head of the FBI, James

Connolly, sent this did not happen. He is basically saying Trump made it

up. I think the cost to Trump of this is that there will be a moment

of national emergency when he will lead people to rally around him and

trust in to make a difficult decision and people would give him

the benefit of the doubt for I don't think it will hurt politically

amongst his supporters because they accept that most politicians I

exaggerate. They just think Trump does it in a more celebrity way.

They give him the benefit of the doubt on the politics of it. I will

never forget the Bush administration official in 2000 for telling a bunch

of us journalists that the problem with the journalist is he exist in a

fact -based universe. We make our own facts. I didn't really

understand what they were saying. I do understand that now. This is the

incarnate of all of this. Come on, this is the president now. He has

not changed from the street fighter on the campaign trail to the fact

that he is now president of the United States and that is something

that his fans will like. One gets the impression he is doubling down

on shooting from the hip, sent by the likes. He has advisers who go

out and say we are briefing, not wrong facts, alternative facts. That

is the world we live in. With Hillary Clinton, the through and

through mud at the fact she was a terrific criminal, you are going to

jail and it stuck. I think, as much as we think the Obama thing is

crazy, I think they will double down on this as a strategy and they will

want to tarnish his name. They will have two because he said Obama

bugged my place. The budget tax rise. Only a couple of days before

the red box is opened. The big story in the budget is going to be social

care and how we try to blog plug the gap. It looks like Hammond is

planning a tax rise on the self-employed and it looks like it

will be difficult for him to push politically. I have already seen

stuff in the sun about how he is targeting the white van man, the

honest person with the small business, why is he not gone after

the fat cats? He will have to be careful because it could be a bit,

remember the past the tax? It went badly wrong. I think this could give

them problems. We are running out of time. Onto the Telegraph. Don of

grammar schools, paperback. We were talking about this before. I thought

Theresa May had concluded on this. It was a big part of her early term

as Prime Minister and it wasn't received especially well by a lot of

Conservative MPs and there were worries about whether she could get

it through Parliament and that she was backpedalling, but the

suggestion in The Papers is not at all, some serious money will be put

into free schools from independent schools that parents and others can

set up, but these would be allowed to become selective and therefore

grammar schools. She is gone ahead. Also in the Telegraph, Hague urges

early election. This is fascinating. We have been speculative about

whether this would happen. There is an irresistible urge for Theresa May

to call an early election, especially because Her Majesty's

opposition is having a slight moment. It is opposing its self at

the moment. Hague is urging this, but I think

Theresa May is a woman famed for her caution and I think she will not

want to get trapped in the Gordon Brown thing where you get hair is

running about an early election and it kills you. I would personally

have an early election because wipe-out when you have Jeremy Corbyn

as Leader of the Opposition? The difference is if the Lords or

someone like something that matters, if she has a pretext, she will go

for it, but she doesn't want is to have left the door open to it and

people are just speculating about when it will be. Once the

speculative starts it is uncontrollable. Finally, the daily

Star, 1.2 billion pound snatch of the day. BT paid ?1.2 billion the

screen the Champions League games. Terrestrial TV viewers cannot get

it. It is a shame. What beauty are doing is they are copying sky. This

guy, nobody knew how they would work but the exhibited. It was live

football on Skype that made the satellite channel survive. BT, they

are fighting for their survival as well and they are using the

Champions League is this vision. I don't care. I only care that BT was

investing in interesting content and it has pulled all of that to buy

football. OK. Good to have you in. Thank you for joining us. You can

see all the front pages on line on the BBC News website. It is

therefore you seven days a week.
