:00:00. > :00:00.deadline day draws to a close and we will tell you about the rise in the

:00:00. > :00:09.rankings of Britain's nude tennis star Johanna Konta. First, the

:00:10. > :00:14.Papers -- new. Hello and welcome to

:00:15. > :00:17.our look ahead to what the papers With me are Caroline Frost,

:00:18. > :00:20.Entertainment Editor of the Huffington Post and

:00:21. > :00:22.Parliamentary journalist Tony Grew. The Metro leads with the death

:00:23. > :00:32.of a British tourist It seems he was trampled by

:00:33. > :00:45.the animal and gored by its tusk. On the front of the i,

:00:46. > :00:48.the paper says pay differences between managers and more junior

:00:49. > :00:51.staff, within the public sector, The Financial Times says that Russia

:00:52. > :00:55.is preparing to sell off state-owned assets, including the airline

:00:56. > :00:57.Aeroflot to try to replace revenue Sir Terry Wogan is fondly remembered

:00:58. > :01:02.on the front of the Daily Express. His last words to his priest

:01:03. > :01:04.were apparently: "Everything's The Daily Telegraph headlines

:01:05. > :01:13.the drawn-out talks over the terms It also features a picture of Lily

:01:14. > :01:18.James, currently starring in the And she's also on the front page

:01:19. > :01:27.of the Times. But its top story concerns

:01:28. > :01:29.possible Cabinet disagreements And the Guardian has the news we've

:01:30. > :01:36.been covering here this evening, that brain damage in babies linked

:01:37. > :01:54.to the Zika virus is now considered Let's begin. We are going to start

:01:55. > :02:01.with the Daily Mail and maybe you might read the headline for us.

:02:02. > :02:07.David Cameron has been creaking toward some sort of European Union

:02:08. > :02:16.agreement with Donald Tusk but apparently many people are not very

:02:17. > :02:20.happy. Is that it then, Mr Cameron? That is their headline. He has been

:02:21. > :02:24.racking up thousands of air miles, if he hadn't gone anywhere, I am

:02:25. > :02:28.sure he would have been bunkered in his Downing Street home. Crucially

:02:29. > :02:37.freedom of movement remains untouched and eurosceptics are

:02:38. > :02:43.calling it one big letdown. That is not going to go down well. That is

:02:44. > :02:55.reflected on the front page of the Times this morning. I think this

:02:56. > :02:58.story has been quite heavily indicated that the Home Secretary is

:02:59. > :03:06.going to play tough with the Prime Minister over this, it was a very

:03:07. > :03:12.difficult ask for David Cameron and he has a lot of problems that are

:03:13. > :03:15.just beginning. A significant amount of Tory party MPs have said they

:03:16. > :03:17.will wait to see what he comes back with them then they will make a

:03:18. > :03:28.decision whether they would vote to stay or leave. Similarly, other

:03:29. > :03:37.cabinet members may not be interested in the Brexit campaign.

:03:38. > :03:45.There is a theory that there are those closest to him, like Theresa

:03:46. > :03:49.May and Michael Gove, they are all declared eurosceptics but if one of

:03:50. > :03:54.them was to lead the middle road of Brexit, not the right wing

:03:55. > :04:04.Eurosceptic side, but that might be quite damaging to the Prime

:04:05. > :04:06.Minister. Also Boris Johnson. These are main candidates to succeed the

:04:07. > :04:19.Prime Minister along with George Osborne, who is completely tied to

:04:20. > :04:25.these negotiations. A significant number will be very disappointed

:04:26. > :04:28.with what he came back with. How do you think the vote will go? If they

:04:29. > :04:37.are hoping to sort all of this out by June, those who are willing to

:04:38. > :04:41.position themselves in the Tory party post David Cameron will have

:04:42. > :04:45.to sort things out very quickly. Does it come down to your favourite

:04:46. > :04:56.politician or your favourite European Union deal or is it really

:04:57. > :05:02.in the gut? I think it is in the guts, but I don't know. The

:05:03. > :05:05.conservative party is Eurosceptic and the MPs are probably Eurosceptic

:05:06. > :05:09.and David Cameron is trying to broadly stitch together a deal. This

:05:10. > :05:19.is a racist time for him, never mind what the public think -- crisis

:05:20. > :05:26.time. Corporate tax issues also feature in the Times. Certainly

:05:27. > :05:32.there were people who thought the Google deal set a precedent and

:05:33. > :05:36.others may not be lining up. It wasn't unprecedented, bad deal. A

:05:37. > :05:42.similar deal was done with Amazon and MPs complained bitterly.

:05:43. > :05:46.Basically what this says is that Facebook is putting aside $2 billion

:05:47. > :05:50.in a war chest to deal with all of these taxation demands they will

:05:51. > :05:59.have from multiple jurisdictions across the world, while in the UK,

:06:00. > :06:04.they paid ?4327 in British corporation tax, and they're using

:06:05. > :06:10.their lawyers to challenge that and demand more money. I think it is

:06:11. > :06:20.interesting that the Times points out that none of the 870,000

:06:21. > :06:27.ordinary British taxpayers received fixed penalty notices, none of them

:06:28. > :06:39.will have the opportunity to negotiate the way Facebook has. This

:06:40. > :06:44.is all we know. We know that the big chains will always have more power,

:06:45. > :06:47.this is the tax equivalent. Facebook and Google are so big and powerful

:06:48. > :06:59.that they pretty much can dictate the terms. But where are these tax

:07:00. > :07:03.havens? Luxembourg and Ireland. That his European Union issue. Maybe you

:07:04. > :07:12.should ask David Cameron tomorrow -- that is a. Guardian. The soaring

:07:13. > :07:17.cost of loneliness among old people. The premise of this story is that

:07:18. > :07:20.because people are so lonely, they are staying in hospital longer than

:07:21. > :07:25.they perhaps should. I find this very saddening for many reasons.

:07:26. > :07:32.They are saying that because the age group has moved up and people are

:07:33. > :07:35.living longer, but the communities they have based themselves around

:07:36. > :07:39.have been fragmented through nuclear families moving around, now you have

:07:40. > :07:44.this huge group of people that have no support system personally and

:07:45. > :07:49.wind up in Accident and Emergency. They call them the dormitories for

:07:50. > :07:54.older people. That will have impact on the National Health Services. I

:07:55. > :07:59.see that they're kind of couching it in recognisable financial terms but

:08:00. > :08:03.this should be a social concern as well, never mind the cost or the

:08:04. > :08:08.financial burdens on the tax system of the country. This has been in the

:08:09. > :08:12.political debate for many months now. The lack of social care is

:08:13. > :08:18.starting to impact the NHS. Absolutely. There is a rising cost

:08:19. > :08:23.of social care that is a major issue to deal with and also, we have to

:08:24. > :08:26.talk about this frankly. Families are less and less keen to look after

:08:27. > :08:31.their older family members and that is frustrating for people. Why is

:08:32. > :08:38.this a responsibility for the state? Devon and Cornwall have

:08:39. > :08:42.research that say a third of patients admitted to Accident and

:08:43. > :08:48.Emergency had very infrequent social interaction, it is not just about

:08:49. > :08:56.loneliness call -- causing burdens in that area, but they are also

:08:57. > :09:02.moving to other areas and becoming cut off. The Local Government

:09:03. > :09:07.Association 's are saying research digest loneliness can be more

:09:08. > :09:12.damaging than smoking 15 cigarettes per day, they have a 50% higher

:09:13. > :09:16.chance than developing clinical illness. It is a huge issue. Did you

:09:17. > :09:20.see that Facebook post where someone wrote about moving to a new town, a

:09:21. > :09:26.mother whose children were school-age, and she made new friends

:09:27. > :09:30.because she posted this thing on Facebook. It is a bit of a shameful

:09:31. > :09:36.thing to have to admit to, for some reason. The Telegraph, should big

:09:37. > :09:41.companies which pay their shareholders lots of money and big

:09:42. > :09:46.dividends, should the taxpayer be paying for anything for them? The

:09:47. > :09:51.government has put aside ?5 million to encourage big companies to switch

:09:52. > :09:58.over to energy-efficient light bulbs. I understand how this can be

:09:59. > :10:04.spun as us giving money to these companies, but what I want to point

:10:05. > :10:07.out is that ministers have created this scheme to reduce the risk of

:10:08. > :10:14.blackouts in the coming winters by cutting energy and electricity

:10:15. > :10:16.demands. If they were socially and environmentally responsible

:10:17. > :10:24.companies, they would be replacing their own lightbulbs. It is very

:10:25. > :10:30.strange. I find a list of those who donate very strange. The Football

:10:31. > :10:36.Association. Why do companies like that have such a great need? It is

:10:37. > :10:39.about how much you encourage companies to be environmentally

:10:40. > :10:45.friendly and how much they should want to do it and present that to

:10:46. > :10:47.the public. Absolutely. You are right to point out that consumer

:10:48. > :10:55.pressure should be the biggest driver of change in organizations

:10:56. > :10:57.that deal with consumers that some of them, like the Football

:10:58. > :11:00.Association, I don't know anything about their lightbulbs or how well

:11:01. > :11:07.lit their office is. The big story of the day, she's pictured on all

:11:08. > :11:34.the newspapers. I am really enjoying watching her on War and Piece. --

:11:35. > :11:41.Peace. This is one of down to's alumni -- Downton Abbey's. She is

:11:42. > :11:54.simultaneously about to be in a film called pride and prejudice -- Pride

:11:55. > :12:01.and Prejudice and Zombies. What is that about? It is exactly what you

:12:02. > :12:09.would expect. I thought it may have been a subtle play on words. No. She

:12:10. > :12:13.is also dating Matt Smith. They could be the next power couple of

:12:14. > :12:24.show business in the UK. Just a word on this. She is an actress who has

:12:25. > :12:31.catapulted into the limelight by domestic Thomas on our televisions

:12:32. > :12:40.rather than big screen -- dramas. That's true. The other ladies from

:12:41. > :12:43.the show have also gone on to Hollywood to make their mark on the

:12:44. > :12:49.big screen. Equally they are coming back in the other direction. The

:12:50. > :12:56.next big box set is the next big thing. The snobbery that used to be

:12:57. > :13:01.big screen versus smallscreen has all but disappeared. Are you

:13:02. > :13:10.enjoying War and Peace? It is one of my favourite. I don't have much to

:13:11. > :13:13.say about that. The talk about five years ago was the transition of big

:13:14. > :13:19.stars from big screen to smallscreen and it has now changed the other

:13:20. > :13:24.way. Netflix are investing ?1 billion in programmes which

:13:25. > :13:27.outstrips even what Hollywood studios are spending. It is a very

:13:28. > :13:32.interesting progression. Cinema is still a big part of it but really

:13:33. > :13:44.big stars are now doing something like House of Cards and so forth. We

:13:45. > :13:52.are seeing YouTube stars also make larger shows. People are making

:13:53. > :13:55.films in their bedrooms. Everything we saw in music ten years ago, is

:13:56. > :14:02.now being replicated in TD. -- TV.
