another Australian appointment in English rugby and a look at the

:00:00.:00:00.

first of 51-day internationals for English cricketers in South Africa.

:00:00.:00:08.

-- five, one-day internationals. Welcome to our look ahead. With me

:00:09.:00:27.

are Emily Ashton, and Dan Gillespie from the New York Times.

:00:28.:00:31.

Let's take a look at the front pages. We will start with the FT, I

:00:32.:00:38.

think. No, we will start with the metro. Do we have some papers? No,

:00:39.:00:44.

we don't. Let's just dive into it then. Let start with the

:00:45.:00:49.

Independent, the headline is the question of the day? Deal, or no

:00:50.:00:57.

Deal? We have been hearing from the EU for a long time and finally we

:00:58.:01:05.

get this draft proposed deal. Yes, this is the question, does it do

:01:06.:01:08.

what David Cameron has promised it would do? No, not quite. He wanted

:01:09.:01:15.

one of the key parts of it, was that he wanted and out right about the

:01:16.:01:20.

four years on benefits for EU migrants. That is not in this draft

:01:21.:01:27.

deal. In fact, benefits will gradually be given to migrants over

:01:28.:01:32.

those four years. But he is claiming it as a victory, as we thought he

:01:33.:01:35.

would. It is a bit like the Emperor's new clothes. He went out

:01:36.:01:40.

into the sticks today to Chippenham to sell this deal, or talk about it,

:01:41.:01:49.

instead of going to Westminster. He was out of the traps quite quickly,

:01:50.:01:52.

to the frustration of those in his own cabinet. There is a lot of focus

:01:53.:01:59.

on the papers today about what this deal says. David Cameron decided to

:02:00.:02:07.

back the UK remaining in Europe and go full force behind the referendum.

:02:08.:02:12.

That is why this is meaningful. The fact he went outside of Westminster

:02:13.:02:13.

is sending a strong symbol, he is is sending a strong symbol, he is

:02:14.:02:18.

ready to campaign and put his full force behind that. We have had an

:02:19.:02:22.

ambivalent David Cameron until now. On the other hand, the European

:02:23.:02:29.

Union have offered concession on the other point he wanted and at a time

:02:30.:02:33.

when the EU is buffeted by a migration and economic crisis, the

:02:34.:02:38.

sending a strong message, we want Britain inside. Some of the papers

:02:39.:02:43.

are taking a harder line. The metro, you are joking! There are other

:02:44.:02:51.

papers who have similar headlines. It is a pale imitation of what was

:02:52.:02:54.

promised in the Conservative manifesto? Yes, and that four-year

:02:55.:03:00.

ban was in the manifesto, it fell short of that. We have heard so much

:03:01.:03:04.

from David Cameron over the years and it might not have been in the

:03:05.:03:09.

manifesto, but last January he was talking about the need for treaty

:03:10.:03:13.

change. That is not part of it. A couple of years ago, he was talking

:03:14.:03:20.

about changing the working Time directive and agricultural policy,

:03:21.:03:28.

and none of that was in there. It was obvious he was going to claim it

:03:29.:03:33.

as a victory. He hasn't gone that far yet. Even though there are gaps

:03:34.:03:38.

and a lot of details to be hammered out in a couple of weeks, already

:03:39.:03:42.

some of the back benches and some of the ministers nailing their colours

:03:43.:03:46.

to the mast. I wonder what is going on in these circles in the cabinet

:03:47.:03:52.

because there is a lot of banks about whether they follow the

:03:53.:03:54.

convictions of whether they keep their jobs. Prankster. It feels like

:03:55.:04:02.

that. We are already hearing Theresa May is giving it a cautious

:04:03.:04:08.

advocacy. But we hearing, depending on what paper you are reading, we

:04:09.:04:13.

are hearing there is active rebellion already. This debate is

:04:14.:04:19.

already coming along ideological lines, depending what paper you

:04:20.:04:24.

read. According to these papers, it is almost like a different use of

:04:25.:04:28.

end. The Telegraph, ministers to defy the Prime Minister and Europe.

:04:29.:04:35.

Sajid Javid, Michael Gove, Boris Johnson, of course. These are the

:04:36.:04:41.

sort of people he fears could lead a middle of the road out campaign?

:04:42.:04:48.

Yes, there are the Eurosceptics, but it is likely he comes out that the

:04:49.:04:52.

out come pain. They don't want to back the losing side. Some of the

:04:53.:05:04.

Leave campaigners say it will give them a boost. No cabinet minister

:05:05.:05:07.

wants to be on the losing side. Iain Duncan Smith, Theresa Villiers will

:05:08.:05:13.

be on the outside and they haven't got the big East of Boris and

:05:14.:05:19.

Michael Gove. How does this play in the United States? We know what

:05:20.:05:24.

Barack Obama thinks, he would prefer Britain in? I think it is fair to

:05:25.:05:30.

say, Americans want Britain within the European Union because the UK in

:05:31.:05:39.

the European Union is a stronger transatlantic partnership. At a time

:05:40.:05:42.

when the EU is a disaster zone with the migration and economic crisis,

:05:43.:05:47.

there is a feeling if Britain leaves, that prices could turn into

:05:48.:05:53.

an implosion in the United States could use a strong partner across

:05:54.:05:56.

the Atlantic. It Barack Obama could come out and say that, he would. It

:05:57.:06:00.

all depends on whether his friend, David Cameron, wants him to.

:06:01.:06:05.

Washington wants Great Britain in the European Union. Crispin Blunt

:06:06.:06:10.

said, it is not just about what Britain once, it is how this affects

:06:11.:06:15.

the running of the EU. It is our biggest market. I guess the United

:06:16.:06:20.

States thinks that as well? If it is going to shackle the EU for a

:06:21.:06:23.

generation so it doesn't run properly, that is a reason in itself

:06:24.:06:27.

to vote against this deal? The European Commission, you can see,

:06:28.:06:34.

the Leave campaign are bending over backwards to help Britain stay in.

:06:35.:06:37.

They think they are not going to be able to go forward and the mission

:06:38.:06:41.

in the EU, if written leaves. So they have done a lot to help him

:06:42.:06:46.

secure this deal. The migration crisis and everything else is

:06:47.:06:49.

happening in Europe, to take the time to help us and our concerns, is

:06:50.:06:55.

quite remarkable. It is worth remembering there are many countries

:06:56.:06:58.

in the European Union that see things in a similar way to the UK.

:06:59.:07:01.

The Netherlands and countries in northern Europe, people want

:07:02.:07:06.

pragmatism in the European Union. They will be devastated if the UK

:07:07.:07:10.

leaves. It is seen as a moderating force when it comes to economics,

:07:11.:07:15.

the free market and when it comes to having less Europe, rather than more

:07:16.:07:18.

Europe. If it leaves, other countries will be upset. In essence,

:07:19.:07:23.

what has been agreed in the deal, might used against UK anyway. And

:07:24.:07:30.

also, let's have a look at the cartoon in the Telegraph. It is pure

:07:31.:07:34.

genius. If we sneaked onto a lorry, we can get out of the country for

:07:35.:07:40.

the referendum. A lot of people feel that way with six months of it still

:07:41.:07:44.

to come. Let's talk about Iowa, since you are here. What a

:07:45.:07:47.

performance by Bernie Sanders gesture marked I think we are seeing

:07:48.:07:52.

something we have seen in this country where people are attracted

:07:53.:07:58.

to these ageing hippies, the far lefties like Jeremy Corbyn. It is

:07:59.:08:01.

young people attract it to them. So you have Bernie Sanders edging

:08:02.:08:09.

Hillary Clinton by a small margin. You have a picture of her on the

:08:10.:08:14.

front page. She didn't put the mustard, she said it is a huge

:08:15.:08:18.

relief to sneak home? She lost Iowa last time so this is a seminal

:08:19.:08:24.

moment for her in some ways. But the margin is so small, they cannot

:08:25.:08:28.

declare victory. The Clinton camp is trying to put a positive spin on it.

:08:29.:08:33.

She is potentially in trouble. A lot of people had discounted Bernie

:08:34.:08:37.

Sanders, but he keeps doing better. His message is resonating with young

:08:38.:08:42.

people, in the same way Jeremy Corbyn has resonated with young

:08:43.:08:45.

people in the UK. The question is, before it goes to the entire letter,

:08:46.:08:54.

or people still be boating the Bernie Sanders? It is doubtful. They

:08:55.:09:02.

said that about Jeremy Corbyn! The Hillary camp will be worried

:09:03.:09:06.

tonight. She has a lot of other big seeds sown up. It is early days. New

:09:07.:09:12.

Hampshire and Iowa are small. Iowa is conservative and small, lot of

:09:13.:09:18.

Evangelicals. It is not a barometer for the rest of the country. But it

:09:19.:09:22.

is the first time we have seen these electorates put in front of the

:09:23.:09:26.

electorate in a meaningful way, so it is a snapshot and I think Hillary

:09:27.:09:31.

will be worried tonight. I will be talking a bit tonight about this

:09:32.:09:41.

thing in Buzzfeed, the prices that women have to pay for the same

:09:42.:09:47.

things men by, razors and deodorant. A study a couple of weeks ago,

:09:48.:09:51.

analysing hundreds of products that women pay more for. Razors and

:09:52.:09:58.

creams. Boots the chemist has announced it is going to change the

:09:59.:10:01.

prices of two products following this. There was also a debate in

:10:02.:10:07.

Westminster this afternoon with a fair few MPs getting involved. It

:10:08.:10:11.

does seem outrageous. This bit at the bottom, and Amazon claim to be a

:10:12.:10:16.

pirate ship and equivalent Faerie Queene ship is dearer. It is

:10:17.:10:25.

staggering. Women get paid less and now paying more for their products,

:10:26.:10:30.

it is a good campaign. It is quite eye opening. We will talk about it

:10:31.:10:35.

again in the next hour. You are coming back at 11:30pm so thank you

:10:36.:10:40.

very much indeed. We will be back at 11:30pm, coming up it is now the

:10:41.:10:44.

sport.
