:00:00. > :00:00.president Donald Tusk have agreed to a second day of talks to try to

:00:00. > :00:00.thrash out proposed reforms. They met this evening at Downing Street

:00:00. > :00:00.but have not yet reached a deal. And the Islamic State has claimed

:00:00. > :00:07.responsibility for a string of bomb attacks at Syria's holiest Shia

:00:08. > :00:18.Muslim shrine, near Damascus. At least 50 people have been killed.

:00:19. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:22. > :00:23.bringing us tomorrow. With me are bringing us tomorrow. With me are

:00:24. > :00:31.Joel Taylor. In a moment we may talk Joel Taylor. In a moment we may talk

:00:32. > :00:37.about Donald Trump, that could make one of our guests quite exercised(!)

:00:38. > :00:42.starting with the front pages, Terry Wogan is pictured on many of the

:00:43. > :00:46.front pages. Its press called the broadcaster a true national

:00:47. > :00:50.treasure. Independently with research which found the pay gap

:00:51. > :00:54.faced by black workers widens the more qualifications they obtain! The

:00:55. > :00:56.Times says the Prime Minister's hopes of securing an EU

:00:57. > :00:59.renegotiation are hanging by a thread after the president of the

:01:00. > :01:02.European Council walked out of Downing Street, declaring "no deal".

:01:03. > :01:03.The Guardian reports that an estimated 800,000 people have

:01:04. > :01:04.dropped off the electoral register since the government introduced

:01:05. > :01:17.changes to the system. The Mail says Gps have voted to stop

:01:18. > :01:21.looking after hundreds of thousands of care home residents. We will of

:01:22. > :01:29.course look at how the newspapers are reporting the life of Sir Terry

:01:30. > :01:32.Wogan, who has died at the age of 77, but we will begin with another

:01:33. > :01:43.story, on the front of the Independent. The pay gap.

:01:44. > :01:51.It seems the harder they work, the more qualifications they get, the no

:01:52. > :01:57.better off they are. I am a chance at a university, we have the largest

:01:58. > :02:01.ethnic winner at intake in the country, if not, we are pretty high

:02:02. > :02:07.up there, and I know that this is true, what is interesting to me, why

:02:08. > :02:12.is this now just been discovered, I'm interested in that. It is

:02:13. > :02:14.welcome that the government is interested in that, that they want

:02:15. > :02:24.to do something, that they have appointed David Lambie, Labour MP,

:02:25. > :02:32.but it is an interesting policy in the appearance. -- incoherence. --

:02:33. > :02:35.David Lammy. This is endemic and long-standing and I do not know how

:02:36. > :02:40.they will proceed with this. How did they come to discover it now? Does

:02:41. > :02:45.this article explain why it is happening? Not really, what it does

:02:46. > :02:50.not have is a reaction from Oxford University which today said it did

:02:51. > :02:55.not see the need for legislation. The comment from Oxford University

:02:56. > :02:59.talked about big problems, more ingrained problems, within society

:03:00. > :03:04.that needed to be tackled. It is extraordinary the idea that black

:03:05. > :03:10.graduates are leaving university and earning 23% less, it is not

:03:11. > :03:13.something we have only just discovered, why is it coming up now?

:03:14. > :03:18.It is very laudable that it has been done but it could have been

:03:19. > :03:26.investigated 20 years ago. Five years ago, the government is saying

:03:27. > :03:28.that the government was in, listen but they were still the ruling

:03:29. > :03:34.party, why has it not been picked up then? I'm not saying, don't do it,

:03:35. > :03:38.it is an important thing, but sit back and look at the policy

:03:39. > :03:42.incoherence around it, and Oxford is right, there is a landscape that

:03:43. > :03:47.explains this. The government is not tackling the landscape. From this

:03:48. > :03:54.article it seems it is not just educational edge of -- educational

:03:55. > :03:58.institutions, it is throughout life. This has been going on for ages,

:03:59. > :04:04.this needs policy coherence, to be looked at across the board. In this

:04:05. > :04:07.piece anyway I do not see what the government is doing... It almost

:04:08. > :04:12.sounds like somebody has an idea in the government that this is what

:04:13. > :04:18.they want to tackle, and David Cameron is going to tackle it. This

:04:19. > :04:22.is a great thing to do. But it is a long landscape of prejudice and

:04:23. > :04:26.discrimination that we need to look at. And yet we have had

:04:27. > :04:31.anti-discrimination legislation for almost as long as I have been

:04:32. > :04:43.around. Clearly different problems with different communities.

:04:44. > :04:52.I grew up in an era of quotas, they work. If the government is not

:04:53. > :04:57.interested in saying to business and universities, you have to do this,

:04:58. > :05:03.then I don't see how this is going to work. We are going to look at

:05:04. > :05:09.Donald Trump, featuring on the top of the newspaper, brace

:05:10. > :05:15.yourselves... America starts to give its verdict. John, Donald Trump...

:05:16. > :05:20.Do you have an opinion? I have quite a lot of views on Donald Trump! We

:05:21. > :05:24.can sort of sit here in relative safety and watch the circus, the

:05:25. > :05:28.pantomime, surrounding him, but we are now getting to a stage where it

:05:29. > :05:33.might be the case that he seems to be the favourite and he could be

:05:34. > :05:37.picked be the Republican candidate. I struggled to believe... First, it

:05:38. > :05:40.is going to be hard to see him as the candidate but it is impossible

:05:41. > :05:46.to consider that he would defeat Hillary Clinton in a presidential

:05:47. > :05:51.election. Something the other day that I was reading said that what we

:05:52. > :05:54.do seem to realise, what seems to happen, American voters pick

:05:55. > :05:57.something that is different from the outgoing president, Donald Trump is

:05:58. > :06:04.certainly very different from Barack Obama. This is actually normal

:06:05. > :06:09.service at this point of the electoral cycle, in the United

:06:10. > :06:18.States of America, we get... It is a very tactile, very crazy kind of

:06:19. > :06:22.point in the American cycle. He is a television star, a reality

:06:23. > :06:26.television star, this is part of his picture. If he does not win Iowa

:06:27. > :06:32.tomorrow, it is his whole deal is about, I win, if he does not, then

:06:33. > :06:36.he is in trouble. The Donald Trump Mountain, the mountain he has two

:06:37. > :06:42.climb to be even the nominee of the Republican Party, which is the only

:06:43. > :06:47.possibility has to be the president, is massive. A lot of people feel

:06:48. > :06:50.that he says something to them that nobody else says? It has a lot of

:06:51. > :07:02.primaries to go through, he could drop off the scale very easily.

:07:03. > :07:08.He's not from the political class. I know this is a foolish thing to do

:07:09. > :07:12.at this point, but it isn't happening, he will not be president,

:07:13. > :07:17.but what is happening is that he is putting on the table, in legitimate

:07:18. > :07:22.discourse, stuff you hear after midnight on talk radio! That is what

:07:23. > :07:26.is going on. Amistad has 24 hours to reach a deal with Europe, talks

:07:27. > :07:31.broken off as Brussels digs in on migrants... On many occasions you

:07:32. > :07:36.would like to be a fly on the wall, tonight is one of them, probably. I

:07:37. > :07:42.wonder if there is going to be any meaningful deal. I am not a

:07:43. > :07:48.Eurosceptic but if I was one, I would be, as we say in Chicago,

:07:49. > :07:52.hopping mad! I do not know what David Cameron is doing, if he is

:07:53. > :07:58.trying to get a deal about immigration, migration... It is what

:07:59. > :08:03.the European Union is... No wonder Donald Tusk walked out. If the free

:08:04. > :08:13.movement of workers is going to be restricted... That breaks up the

:08:14. > :08:19.idea of European Union! It is about access to in work benefits. That is

:08:20. > :08:23.dissemination. It still breaks down the idea of what the union is,

:08:24. > :08:27.because it is not happening in France, and... I'm not saying it is

:08:28. > :08:30.right or wrong but it goes to the heart of what it is. Allegedly it

:08:31. > :08:35.would be tricky for people over here. Because yet again, it would be

:08:36. > :08:40.young people who are most affected by a benefit saving. Certainly

:08:41. > :08:45.sounds like he has quite a long way to go with these negotiations, there

:08:46. > :08:49.are still officials in Downing Street trying to hammer out an

:08:50. > :08:54.agreement, the only left after 90 minutes. Really that is not... They

:08:55. > :08:58.had a three course meal to get through, apart from anything else!

:08:59. > :09:11.Perhaps they were talking with their mouths full. This great idea, the

:09:12. > :09:14.emergency brake of the welfare system, creaking... Creaking under

:09:15. > :09:23.the claimants. That would appeal to more than just Britain. But if it

:09:24. > :09:27.does... The promised and Donald Tusk have got to get it organised. I'm

:09:28. > :09:28.not saying it is wrong but I am saying if I were a Eurosceptic... I

:09:29. > :09:42.would be very angry. 800,000 people disappear from the

:09:43. > :09:59.voter list. There was prediction that this would

:10:00. > :10:03.lead to a large fall in voter members, now we see and is to make

:10:04. > :10:10.it 800,000 people knocked off the electoral register. The government

:10:11. > :10:15.does not seem to be that concern, because any entries removed will be

:10:16. > :10:20.people who moved house, died, never existed...! Does not sound like they

:10:21. > :10:22.are convinced of these figures. There is an interesting scheme at

:10:23. > :10:27.Sheffield University, they talk about enrolment onto the voter

:10:28. > :10:37.registration as they come into university. Mysteriously, this, in

:10:38. > :10:40.some way, affects labour, quite strangely, and that is what they are

:10:41. > :10:47.most concerned about, this affects their potential voters. It is not

:10:48. > :10:59.designed to effect any one particular party? It is pretty

:11:00. > :11:04.strange, it was not in any kind of manifesto. It has been talked about

:11:05. > :11:14.for a while. There have been concerns in certain constituencies.

:11:15. > :11:19.This is seen as a way to stop electoral fraud, but if it has

:11:20. > :11:23.knocked of 800,000 genuine people, that is obviously a huge number of

:11:24. > :11:28.voters, most of whom will be students. More likely to be voting

:11:29. > :11:35.Labour... And it is Labour who are raising this. There is always a

:11:36. > :11:42.concern about getting young people involved in votes, in elections, and

:11:43. > :11:48.if... This... Talking about policy incoherence, which has to do with

:11:49. > :11:51.one hand hoping to make the demographic more inclusive, more

:11:52. > :11:57.able to function in society, taking another young demographic and

:11:58. > :12:01.carving them out of society. And some of that demographic contains a

:12:02. > :12:22.demographic they are trying to help! I do not see the clearance.

:12:23. > :12:46.The affection towards him is obvious. We have letters pages that

:12:47. > :13:01.show that. He could present any thing... Blankety Blank, for

:13:02. > :13:07.instance... Jeremy Vine said, you have 10 million listeners, Terry

:13:08. > :13:12.Wogan replied... I have only got one... (!) and that one person, you

:13:13. > :13:17.could hear it in his voice... It is the way that Frank Sinatra sang, to

:13:18. > :13:24.be honest, he always sounded like he was singing to you, and Terry Wogan

:13:25. > :13:28.sang the same way, he spoke the same way. I remember being told, you are

:13:29. > :13:32.only ever broadcast into one person at a time because we listen as

:13:33. > :13:42.individuals. Knowing that and doing it... Very difficult... Relaxing

:13:43. > :13:46.into it, turning up five minutes before he was an error. He will be

:13:47. > :13:56.greatly missed. Thank you very much rejoining us. -- thank you very much

:13:57. > :13:59.for joining us. Coming up, at 11pm, more on the life and career of

:14:00. > :14:02.veteran broadcaster Terry Wogan, who has died at the age of 77. Coming up

:14:03. > :14:06.next,
