deadline day draws to a close and we will tell you about the rise in the

rankings of Britain's nude tennis star Johanna Konta. First, the

:00:00.:00:09.

Papers -- new. Hello and welcome to

:00:10.:00:14.

our look ahead to what the papers With me are Caroline Frost,

:00:15.:00:17.

Entertainment Editor of the Huffington Post and

:00:18.:00:20.

Parliamentary journalist Tony Grew. The Metro leads with the death

:00:56.:00:57.

on the front of the Daily Express. His last words to his priest

:00:58.:01:02.

were apparently: "Everything's The Daily Telegraph headlines

:01:03.:01:04.

the drawn-out talks over the terms It also features a picture of Lily

:01:14.:01:18.

of the Times. But its top story concerns

:01:19.:01:27.

possible Cabinet disagreements And the Guardian has the news we've

:01:28.:01:29.

been covering here this evening, that brain damage in babies linked

:01:30.:01:36.

to the Zika virus is now considered Let's begin. We are going to start

:01:37.:01:54.

with the Daily Mail and maybe you might read the headline for us.

:01:55.:02:01.

David Cameron has been creaking toward some sort of European Union

:02:02.:02:07.

agreement with Donald Tusk but apparently many people are not very

:02:08.:02:16.

happy. Is that it then, Mr Cameron? That is their headline. He has been

:02:17.:02:20.

racking up thousands of air miles, if he hadn't gone anywhere, I am

:02:21.:02:24.

sure he would have been bunkered in his Downing Street home. Crucially

:02:25.:02:28.

freedom of movement remains untouched and eurosceptics are

:02:29.:02:37.

calling it one big letdown. That is not going to go down well. That is

:02:38.:02:43.

reflected on the front page of the Times this morning. I think this

:02:44.:02:55.

story has been quite heavily indicated that the Home Secretary is

:02:56.:02:58.

going to play tough with the Prime Minister over this, it was a very

:02:59.:03:06.

difficult ask for David Cameron and he has a lot of problems that are

:03:07.:03:12.

just beginning. A significant amount of Tory party MPs have said they

:03:13.:03:15.

will wait to see what he comes back with them then they will make a

:03:16.:03:17.

decision whether they would vote to stay or leave. Similarly, other

:03:18.:03:28.

cabinet members may not be interested in the Brexit campaign.

:03:29.:03:37.

There is a theory that there are those closest to him, like Theresa

:03:38.:03:45.

May and Michael Gove, they are all declared eurosceptics but if one of

:03:46.:03:49.

them was to lead the middle road of Brexit, not the right wing

:03:50.:03:54.

Eurosceptic side, but that might be quite damaging to the Prime

:03:55.:04:04.

Minister. Also Boris Johnson. These are main candidates to succeed the

:04:05.:04:06.

Prime Minister along with George Osborne, who is completely tied to

:04:07.:04:19.

these negotiations. A significant number will be very disappointed

:04:20.:04:25.

with what he came back with. How do you think the vote will go? If they

:04:26.:04:28.

are hoping to sort all of this out by June, those who are willing to

:04:29.:04:37.

position themselves in the Tory party post David Cameron will have

:04:38.:04:41.

to sort things out very quickly. Does it come down to your favourite

:04:42.:04:45.

politician or your favourite European Union deal or is it really

:04:46.:04:56.

in the gut? I think it is in the guts, but I don't know. The

:04:57.:05:02.

conservative party is Eurosceptic and the MPs are probably Eurosceptic

:05:03.:05:05.

and David Cameron is trying to broadly stitch together a deal. This

:05:06.:05:09.

is a racist time for him, never mind what the public think -- crisis

:05:10.:05:19.

time. Corporate tax issues also feature in the Times. Certainly

:05:20.:05:26.

there were people who thought the Google deal set a precedent and

:05:27.:05:32.

others may not be lining up. It wasn't unprecedented, bad deal. A

:05:33.:05:36.

similar deal was done with Amazon and MPs complained bitterly.

:05:37.:05:42.

Basically what this says is that Facebook is putting aside $2 billion

:05:43.:05:46.

in a war chest to deal with all of these taxation demands they will

:05:47.:05:50.

have from multiple jurisdictions across the world, while in the UK,

:05:51.:05:59.

they paid ?4327 in British corporation tax, and they're using

:06:00.:06:04.

their lawyers to challenge that and demand more money. I think it is

:06:05.:06:10.

interesting that the Times points out that none of the 870,000

:06:11.:06:20.

ordinary British taxpayers received fixed penalty notices, none of them

:06:21.:06:27.

will have the opportunity to negotiate the way Facebook has. This

:06:28.:06:39.

is all we know. We know that the big chains will always have more power,

:06:40.:06:44.

this is the tax equivalent. Facebook and Google are so big and powerful

:06:45.:06:47.

that they pretty much can dictate the terms. But where are these tax

:06:48.:06:59.

havens? Luxembourg and Ireland. That his European Union issue. Maybe you

:07:00.:07:03.

should ask David Cameron tomorrow -- that is a. Guardian. The soaring

:07:04.:07:12.

cost of loneliness among old people. The premise of this story is that

:07:13.:07:17.

because people are so lonely, they are staying in hospital longer than

:07:18.:07:20.

they perhaps should. I find this very saddening for many reasons.

:07:21.:07:25.

They are saying that because the age group has moved up and people are

:07:26.:07:32.

living longer, but the communities they have based themselves around

:07:33.:07:35.

have been fragmented through nuclear families moving around, now you have

:07:36.:07:39.

this huge group of people that have no support system personally and

:07:40.:07:44.

wind up in Accident and Emergency. They call them the dormitories for

:07:45.:07:49.

older people. That will have impact on the National Health Services. I

:07:50.:07:54.

see that they're kind of couching it in recognisable financial terms but

:07:55.:07:59.

this should be a social concern as well, never mind the cost or the

:08:00.:08:03.

financial burdens on the tax system of the country. This has been in the

:08:04.:08:08.

political debate for many months now. The lack of social care is

:08:09.:08:12.

starting to impact the NHS. Absolutely. There is a rising cost

:08:13.:08:18.

of social care that is a major issue to deal with and also, we have to

:08:19.:08:23.

talk about this frankly. Families are less and less keen to look after

:08:24.:08:26.

their older family members and that is frustrating for people. Why is

:08:27.:08:31.

this a responsibility for the state? Devon and Cornwall have

:08:32.:08:38.

research that say a third of patients admitted to Accident and

:08:39.:08:42.

Emergency had very infrequent social interaction, it is not just about

:08:43.:08:48.

loneliness call -- causing burdens in that area, but they are also

:08:49.:08:56.

moving to other areas and becoming cut off. The Local Government

:08:57.:09:02.

Association 's are saying research digest loneliness can be more

:09:03.:09:07.

damaging than smoking 15 cigarettes per day, they have a 50% higher

:09:08.:09:12.

chance than developing clinical illness. It is a huge issue. Did you

:09:13.:09:16.

see that Facebook post where someone wrote about moving to a new town, a

:09:17.:09:20.

mother whose children were school-age, and she made new friends

:09:21.:09:26.

because she posted this thing on Facebook. It is a bit of a shameful

:09:27.:09:30.

thing to have to admit to, for some reason. The Telegraph, should big

:09:31.:09:36.

companies which pay their shareholders lots of money and big

:09:37.:09:41.

dividends, should the taxpayer be paying for anything for them? The

:09:42.:09:46.

government has put aside ?5 million to encourage big companies to switch

:09:47.:09:51.

over to energy-efficient light bulbs. I understand how this can be

:09:52.:09:58.

spun as us giving money to these companies, but what I want to point

:09:59.:10:04.

out is that ministers have created this scheme to reduce the risk of

:10:05.:10:07.

blackouts in the coming winters by cutting energy and electricity

:10:08.:10:14.

demands. If they were socially and environmentally responsible

:10:15.:10:16.

companies, they would be replacing their own lightbulbs. It is very

:10:17.:10:24.

strange. I find a list of those who donate very strange. The Football

:10:25.:10:30.

Association. Why do companies like that have such a great need? It is

:10:31.:10:36.

about how much you encourage companies to be environmentally

:10:37.:10:39.

friendly and how much they should want to do it and present that to

:10:40.:10:45.

the public. Absolutely. You are right to point out that consumer

:10:46.:10:47.

pressure should be the biggest driver of change in organizations

:10:48.:10:55.

that deal with consumers that some of them, like the Football

:10:56.:10:57.

Association, I don't know anything about their lightbulbs or how well

:10:58.:11:00.

lit their office is. The big story of the day, she's pictured on all

:11:01.:11:07.

the newspapers. I am really enjoying watching her on War and Piece. --

:11:08.:11:34.

Peace. This is one of down to's alumni -- Downton Abbey's. She is

:11:35.:11:41.

simultaneously about to be in a film called pride and prejudice -- Pride

:11:42.:11:54.

and Prejudice and Zombies. What is that about? It is exactly what you

:11:55.:12:01.

would expect. I thought it may have been a subtle play on words. No. She

:12:02.:12:09.

is also dating Matt Smith. They could be the next power couple of

:12:10.:12:13.

show business in the UK. Just a word on this. She is an actress who has

:12:14.:12:24.

catapulted into the limelight by domestic Thomas on our televisions

:12:25.:12:31.

rather than big screen -- dramas. That's true. The other ladies from

:12:32.:12:40.

the show have also gone on to Hollywood to make their mark on the

:12:41.:12:43.

big screen. Equally they are coming back in the other direction. The

:12:44.:12:49.

next big box set is the next big thing. The snobbery that used to be

:12:50.:12:56.

big screen versus smallscreen has all but disappeared. Are you

:12:57.:13:01.

enjoying War and Peace? It is one of my favourite. I don't have much to

:13:02.:13:10.

say about that. The talk about five years ago was the transition of big

:13:11.:13:13.

stars from big screen to smallscreen and it has now changed the other

:13:14.:13:19.

way. Netflix are investing ?1 billion in programmes which

:13:20.:13:24.

outstrips even what Hollywood studios are spending. It is a very

:13:25.:13:27.

interesting progression. Cinema is still a big part of it but really

:13:28.:13:32.

big stars are now doing something like House of Cards and so forth. We

:13:33.:13:44.

are seeing YouTube stars also make larger shows. People are making

:13:45.:13:52.

films in their bedrooms. Everything we saw in music ten years ago, is

:13:53.:13:55.

now being replicated in TD. -- TV.
