Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
With me are the the deputy political editor for the Guardian, | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
Rowena Mason, and Christopher Hope, the Assistant Editor and chief | :00:23. | :00:25. | |
political correspondent at the Daily Telegraph. | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
the meeting between Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon makes | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Tt says the pair's talks on Brexit ended in stalemate. | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
The FT leads on Tesco's bid to buy food wholesalers Booker, | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
but also finds room on the front page for the failure to find | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
a solution to Northern Ireland's political deadlock. | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
The Express carries a claim from the former government minister | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Iain Duncan Smith that the EU owes the UK billions of pounds. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
And Mr Duncan Smith also makes the front page of the Telegraph. | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
He's one of a group of politicians and business leaders calling | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
on the government to sweep away European red tape | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
The words of the mother of the Westminster terrorist | :01:07. | :01:19. | |
Khalid Masood are highlighted by the Metro, she says she's | :01:20. | :01:21. | |
shocked, saddened and numbed by her son's actions. | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
The Mail leads with details of a cost-cutting plan for the NHS; | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
it also seems to think the legs of the Prime Minister | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
and Scottish First Minister are worth highlighting. | :01:31. | :01:31. | |
The Guardian has pro-EU Conservatives urging Theresa May | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
to concentrate on securing a good post-Brexit trade deal for the UK | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
rather than the size of the bill for leaving the EU. | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
While the Mirror leads with more on last week's | :01:43. | :01:44. | |
terror attack in London, including the speed it's thought | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
Khalid Masood drove on his murderous rampage along Westminster Bridge. | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
Let's begin. We start with the i. This is the meeting between Nicola | :01:57. | :02:07. | |
Sturgeon and Theresa May, fixed smiles on the front page there. I am | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
not sure if those are genuine smiles. They are both managing to | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
crack a smile, even though their positions are a long way apart at | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
the moment. Nicola Sturgeon saying that Theresa May hasn't listened to | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
her at all when she's trying to tell her that Scotland wants to stay in | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
the EU. If not, stay in the single market. Because Theresa May hasn't | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
listened to her, she says she will have another independence | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
referendum. Theresa May on the other side is saying that now is not the | :02:38. | :02:44. | |
time for that. There's very little overlap between their two positions | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
at the moment. Christopher, what are the chances of both sides getting | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
anywhere closer during the next 18 months? There's a chance, because as | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
things stand, nothing has really changed. This is for the cameras. | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
She is getting around the regions, or nations of the country, before | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
Wednesday when she triggers Article 50. Shaking hands with Nicola | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
Sturgeon in the Crowne Plaza hotel in Glasgow, rather unprepossessing | :03:16. | :03:23. | |
utilitarian venue. That maybe describes why are there. Not | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
particularly glamorous, I suppose. But the Daily Mail, let's go to | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
that, they have found the glamour in the situation. Christopher, never | :03:35. | :03:47. | |
mind Brexit, who won Legsit. It is the Daily Mail. They make the point | :03:48. | :03:54. | |
that they are women in skirts and their legs are showing. That's a per | :03:55. | :04:01. | |
-- profound point. It is unnecessary. You wouldn't compare | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
David Cameron's trousers. It looks over the top. It looks a bit 1970s | :04:09. | :04:22. | |
Dick ever read, showing lakes. I think ill it is they will be | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
Playing devils advocate, will they be furious given that, at the end of | :04:28. | :04:41. | |
the day, those four good pins? Clive! I'm playing devils advocate. | :04:42. | :04:51. | |
Pins are allowed. What Theresa May would say is, I hardly noticed it, I | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
am getting on with the job. She says that and has these glamorous shoes. | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
No one is interested in your shoes, Christopher. The Daily Mail is read | :05:03. | :05:06. | |
by a lot of women in this country. Do you think that the general | :05:07. | :05:10. | |
perception is that this is totally unnecessary, why has the Daily Mail | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
done this? I think it depends on your perspective. Some women will | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
find it a little bit sexist to focus on their legs when they have got | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
Brexit to be thinking about. Other women might think, well, that is the | :05:22. | :05:26. | |
position they happen to be sitting in. All right. What could they have | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
worn? Opaque tights, is that what you say? Trouser suits? Maybe they | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
didn't realise they were going to be photographed from that angle. Let's | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
move now onto some news. Funnily enough, news... It could be used, | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
the Daily Express, the EU owes Britain billions. Is it true? What | :05:53. | :05:59. | |
Iain Duncan Smith is saying is, we keep getting hung up on us paying | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
money to the EU to leave in two years' time come Wednesday. What | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
they are saying is that they should be paying us to leave. Iain Duncan | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
Smith has told the express, while we go on about paying them money to | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
this club, they owe us money. Why do they owe us money? We pay more into | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
the EU budget and we get out every year. Right. That is it. Ongoing | :06:25. | :06:34. | |
commitments for infrastructure, the other side of Europe will say to us, | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
that is why we think you owe us money. It is access to the single | :06:40. | :06:42. | |
market and access to the customs union. If we leave both, we should | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
be paying extra money into that. It is a congregated matrix of different | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
money flying around, isn't it? IDS, to his credit, is trying to address | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
it on the front page of the express. There are liabilities that the UK | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
has two pensions, or workers, bureaucrats or whatever it is, the | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
operators of the European Union. There are obligations that we have, | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
surely that can be offset with whatever Iain Duncan Smith reckons | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
they owe us? It could be zero. It could be a balanced number... All | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
the talk or 50 billion in the last few weeks has been nonsense? Or is | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
this fake news? It appends on your perspective. If you are a die-hard | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
Brexiteer, and you think the EU has been robbing us for years and years | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
and you wonder why we should pay them anything at all. If you are on | :07:41. | :07:46. | |
the other side, and maybe you are an official in Brussels, you think the | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
UK has a lot of liabilities that still haven't been wound up and it | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
needs to settle its debt. Nick Clegg was saying it was like we had an am | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
a bar Bill with the EU, that is what he said this evening on Question | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
Times And Is Mac. Does This Take Into Account The Final Numbers Of | :08:04. | :08:14. | |
The European Union? EU have said they hope us. He is trying to say, | :08:15. | :08:22. | |
looking at one side of the balance sheet, and not the other. OK, | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Rowena, whatever the right and wrong is of this fiscal issue, hope is, | :08:27. | :08:34. | |
according to some within the Conservative Party, that this issue | :08:35. | :08:36. | |
is sorted out quickly and fast, because then we can get on to the | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
nitty-gritty of what Brexit really does mean. I think so. What some of | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
these Tory moderate rebels, the people fighting within the | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
Conservative Party to stay in the single market are saying is, if the | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
EU might be better disposed towards us when it comes to negotiating a | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
train real, if we have conceded a bit of it on the divorce Bill, so | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
there is a price on everything, we want a good deal out of the EU. We | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
might need to pay a little bit to get it. The two think not meant to | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
be tied they probably will be. It will come down... David Davis on | :09:15. | :09:23. | |
question Time said it could be zero. It could be zero. But once that is | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
out of the way, Christopher, we can get into the meat of what this is | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
really about. That is right. Europeans have made it clear this | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
Bill needs to be sorted first. It is all leading to whether we have | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
access to the supermarket, free movement of moving into the country, | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
it is tied together by the number at the beginning. A big day on | :09:44. | :09:52. | |
Wednesday. Huge. Momentous. Are you working on Wednesday? I don't know | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
what I am going to be doing on Wednesday. Who knows where I will | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
be! A letter delivered to the European Council president. OK, | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
let's move on to the Telegraph. Red tape, Mr Duncan Smith again, | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
figuring a lot in these papers. Top of the page there, Christopher. The | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
suggestion that the great reform Bill will involve, what, 19,000 EU | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
rules and regulations that will come onto our statute books. 600 wrecked | :10:22. | :10:28. | |
its governance country, and that, 90,000 rules and regulations, which | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
we will try to lift across this reform Bill on Thursday after the | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
letter is delivered on Wednesday. The idea is, they are moved lock, | :10:35. | :10:40. | |
stock and barrel into British law. After that, campaigners say that the | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
Tories should say the next election, we get rid of the ones that are | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
pointless and superfluous, and hold back business. That is the idea of a | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
campaign. It is a good idea, trying to shape and look beyond exit and | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
shape how might things progress. There will be a battle if there are | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
some things that the government wants to get off the statute books. | :11:04. | :11:12. | |
This is going to be a really huge issue in the coming years. It will | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
be a big battle with the Labour movement trade unions who want to | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
preserve things like health and safety legislation, environment and | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
a decision, as well as workers' rights that the government has set. | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
It will protect listing workers' rights, but there will be | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
Conservative backbenchers that will want to in pic -- unpick some of | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
these things. I think Chris has an example. Newts. It is a big issue. | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
What do you mean? They are protected in this country, and there are more | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
newts here than in other parts of Europe. Newts and road-building is a | :11:56. | :12:02. | |
big issue. I am putting it out there! It has got to be interesting. | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
Terra killer 's mother, I weep for the victims. The mother of this man, | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
Khalid Masood, who went on a rampage last week. Christopher, you were at | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
the Commons at the time, and members of his family have spoken now. It is | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
back to normal at the House of Commons, but they moved the gates | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
near to where the attack took place. It has really shocked the country. | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
Personally, I feel sorry for her, for Janet Ojoa. It was brave for her | :12:36. | :12:49. | |
to speak up this way. Rowena, is there a sense that have gotten back | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
to normal? People carry on their daily business, the House of Lords | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
and House of Commons business is carrying on as before. But people | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
are still sad and traumatised by what has happened there. It is | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
incredibly grim and sad for all affected. We saw people die outside | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
my office window. There were bodies therefore many hours stop its | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
unbelievable, not what you expect. Others went through to try and save | :13:20. | :13:22. | |
lives, and it was worse on the bridge, but it is a difficult time. | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
Absolutely. Finally, to end this edition of the papers, the Daily | :13:28. | :13:35. | |
Telegraph, Rowena, calling time on his London cap. It says that the | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
Duke of Edinburgh has used a green Metro cap for 18 years to travel | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
incognito around London, but now he has called time on it. He has given | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
it up. He has given it to the Sandringham Museum. He got in the | :13:53. | :14:02. | |
back of a Greens taxi, didn't talk to anyone, just got a view of what | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
London was like. Without having anyone looking at him. How many of | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
us look at a full taxi, we look for empty taxis. Clever. Very clever. | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
Rowena and Christopher, good to have you. | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
It's all there for you, seven days a week, | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
And if you miss the programme any evening, | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer. | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
Next, it's the weather with John Hammond. | :14:38. | :14:44. |
