Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
With me are the broadcaster and columnist, Julia Hartley-Brewer, | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
and the political commentator, Lance Price. | :00:30. | :00:31. | |

The Metro focuses on President Putin's decision to begin the | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
The Mail says big firms are slashing overtime, | :00:56. | :00:58. | |

The Times says George Osborne is to accelerate the spending | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
of billions of pounds on new roads, railways and housing in an effort to | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
The Sun leads on the controversy surrounding Top Gear. | :01:09. | :01:16. | |
And the Express warns us not to complain that we're old | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
I'm clearly losing it. Nothing to do with the typo, it's all my fault. | :01:20. | :01:39. | |
It's been a win-win for Mr Putin, he went in in September, pulling out | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
six months later, Assad is still on the table has been the leader as far | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
as peace talks are concerned. He's done it Chris Lynn yellow it's been | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
very controversial from start to finish. What does he mean by this? | :01:55. | :02:09. | |
That he's pulling them out? Fee is using his diplomatic skill as well | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
as military might. -- he is. Less than a year ago he was a pariah on | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
the international stage. Everybody feels they need to involve him, he | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
has a key role in the peace talks in Syria and he's propped up his mate, | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
President Assad, much to the fury of not only the Syrian opposition but | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
also many in the West. They're clearly looking after Russian | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
interests, he needs the military base on the net, he needs the Syrian | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
ally, he was never going to let Assad fall, no question. My big | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
worry is when the Western forces don't act and we are too scared to | :02:50. | :02:55. | |
take risks ourselves after Iraq and Afghanistan. If we don't get | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
involved then someone else will, it's Russia, and the people of | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
Syria, they would have been better off with us. We had David Cameron | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
decide he was going to go to Parliament, he had to go to | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
Parliament, to get authorisation. It's a ridiculous thing to insist | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
that is something decided by the backbench. Convention has now | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
changed, it's become established that Parliament has to be | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
consulted. Consulted but they shouldn't have final say. Barack | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
Obama also felt he had to go to Congress in order to get | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
authorisation to start launching attacks more this if Risley as far | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
as chemical weapons potentially being used by Assad. Both those | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
leaders decided to go to their parliaments essentially to consult | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
their people on this, President Putin didn't have to do this, he | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
didn't have that problem, it's easier for him. It is. Obama drew a | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
red line and said chemical weapons are used, that's the red line, | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
chemical weapons were used, no one doubts that, but he didn't do | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
anything. That's because of what happened in the British Parliament. | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
If you seriously think that America can't attack without Britain that's | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
absurd, 75% of the military might of Nato is American, there should have | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
been a clear message and there wasn't. Are you saying the lessons | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
of Iraq should have been completely ignored? The lessons of Iraq were | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
for Iraq, they went wrong but that doesn't mean you then say you don't | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
get involved at all. A mob of innocent lives were lost in a rock, | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
not necessarily in the war but in the many years since the insurgency | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
-- a lot of innocent lives were lost in Iraq. But we will see more | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
devastation in Syria now because we haven't got involved, a different | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
lesson has been learned from Syria. We can't apply lessons from one | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
country to another. Isn't that what happened with Libya, which is a | :04:56. | :05:01. | |
conflict that happened in 2011 just before this. Russia, the United | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
States, European allies got involved there, and it's a complete mess. But | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
there was a consensus at the time supported by public opinion that it | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
was the right thing to do. Supported by public opinion, isn't that the | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
key thing here? That's not the best guide as to whether military action | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
should have been taken. There were massive protests about the Iraq | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
war, but there was a vote in parliament in favour of the Iraq | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
war. And the British public. And the opinion polls suggested a majority | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
was in favour. The idea that this public have a clamour to be | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
consulted before military action is ever taken is a mistake. Putin is | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
usually popular in his own country. Why did Cameron and Obama do that? | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
Why didn't they just said we're going to go after this guy. Because | :05:53. | :05:58. | |
they didn't want to get involved. There in mind the military power | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Assad had was different to what they are dealing with in other | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
countries. It was quite clear that Obama didn't want to get involved. | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
It would have been a risk. The Americans have no interest in Europe | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
or the Middle East at all, they're turning their attention to the | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Pacific, they've got other things on their mind. They got involved in | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
Libya, it strikes me that Syria is a particular... Remember Benghazi | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
after a public statement from Gaddafi that he was going to | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
massacre them. I'm an is involved, the Saudis are involved, Russian | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
Mike is involved -- I'm an. Didn't that make them want to get involved | :06:40. | :06:45. | |
-- Russian might. There are massive costs for in action. In the course | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
of history we don't learn those lessons. We saw it in Rwanda and | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
osmium, never again will we allow people to be massacred by their | :06:57. | :07:03. | |
people -- Bosnia. We have sat by and watched an evil dictator massacre | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
his people and we've done nothing. This trend of Western leaders using | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
public opinion as an excuse for inaction. They say they can't do it | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
because the public don't want it, but they themselves are shying away | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
from taking the hard decisions. Exactly, it's taking the hard | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
decision on a hard topic. Libby was an easy topic and Syria was more | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
difficult. Politicians like low-risk decisions where they will be praise | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
for whatever they do -- Libya. Brexit campaign has the edge? This | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
is analysis of polling, this isn't Brexit is going to win, fingers | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
crossed for me. This is really interesting. Who is likely to vote | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
and how passionate do people feel about things? They are saying the | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
people who are pro- Brexit are more passionate and more likely to vote | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
than people who are in favour of remaining. Part of that is there | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
more likely to be older and older people are more likely to vote by a | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
massive factor, as we saw at the election. But it's quite difficult, | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
I want to leave the EU, have done for some time, and I feel passionate | :08:19. | :08:24. | |
about it, but it's difficult for the remainder camp, who are sceptical | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
about the EU, but on balance they want to stay in -- remain. But | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
they're not passionate. It's a shrug vote. I want some passion passion. I | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
disagree with what Julia is saying. The people that the -- for all its | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
faults, people recognise the function of the EU. People can | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
easily point at the things the EU has got wrong. How long have we | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
got? It's easy for people to pick holes in the European project, | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
that's the easiest thing in the world, but for those that still | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
believe fundamentally and passionately that Britain's | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
membership of the EU has been in our interests hold that view as strongly | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
as the Brexit people. I think the polling would show not the majority | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
do. Not those of us on either side of the argument who have strongly | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
held views and will argue until the cows come home, it's the voters at | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
home who don't think about the EU and these issues every day of the | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
week. Normal people. Sensible people. Whether or not they are | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
going to be as easily persuaded. The real problem for the remain | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
campaign, that I support, those wanting to stay in, is a degree of | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
complacency. Do we look at the chaos on the Brexit side, all squabbling | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
between themselves, we think we have the big guns on our site. If you go | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
into a campaign with that level of complacency, that is more of a risk | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
to the membership of the EU than the spurious idea that Brexit people are | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
more passionate in their beliefs than we are. We will see. We will | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
see indeed. We've got a long way to go. And I'm knackered already. I | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
think you speak on the of the whole British people. On behalf of the | :10:16. | :10:21. | |
whole world. Onto the Times, Mr Osborne, eight pretty big speech on | :10:22. | :10:31. | |
Wednesday. -- a pretty big speech. I find budget stories frustrating to | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
say the least because most of them are being briefed for a purpose, to | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
raise expectations or low expectations. Not that you ever did | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
that? When I went to the government we wouldn't have ever dreamt of | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
doing that. Absolutely not. As a political editor I would never do | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
those phone calls. No, it would be wrong. This one suggests investment | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
in infrastructure could be a good thing. One of the dividing lines | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
with the Labour Party has been that Mr Osborne wants to pay down the | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
debt, although he isn't doing a very good job of that, he wants to cut | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
public spending but he's missed his targets on that as well. Labour and | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
John McDonnell, the Shadow Chancellor was saying on the weekend | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
in a speech, that spending on investment, borrowing from | :11:21. | :11:24. | |
investment is a good thing and Mr Osborne is saying more or less the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
same thing. We have a clear divide between left and right in politics | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
here. Doesn't that make sense? If you're going to miss your deficit | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
reduction target you might as well miss it because you got a load of | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
cash in to build a school? Yes, it's all very well. It depends what you | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
spend it on. A lot of people have a question leaving outside London | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
spending millions on Crossrail. I live in London, it's very helpful to | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
have a new railway line going from north to south London, but for the | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
vast majority of people that don't live in London there is a lot of | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
resentment for things like this. Trans-Pennine... The longest tunnel | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
in Europe is also a problem, longest road tunnel in Europe. There's a lot | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
more need for transport links in the northern powerhouse cities. From the | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
east to west up north on the links are dreadful. Trains are a | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
nightmare. The fundamental thing is housebuilding. We have millions more | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
people but we haven't built houses. The pledges from all three parties | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
at the general election didn't touch the size of the need we have four | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
more houses, one of the biggest problems we face is people have | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
massively high housing costs and we could deal with that overnight if we | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
build houses, and it creates jobs. You make it sound so easy. It is. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
For the last 50 years we haven't managed to do it. We did it in the | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
post-war years. Where there's a will there's a way. There were holes in | :12:57. | :13:05. | |
parts of our streets after the war, they have to do something with | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
them. There's a lot more space in this country. We have been yakking | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
for so long. What shall we do? I think we should do Chris Evans. Why | :13:12. | :13:20. | |
am I laughing at this one? You wonder whether the new Top Dear team | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
are at home thinking this is a terrible story, isn't this awful? Or | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
they are thinking we are on the front of the papers. Macro what you | :13:33. | :13:40. | |
are too cynical. If you do a stunt at the Cenotaph on | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Sunday... This is a ridiculous fuss, Sunday... This is a ridiculous fuss, | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
I can only assume it is a PR job. No one is saying we will have any issue | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
with this whatsoever. Driving a Morris mini passed the Cenotaph is | :13:56. | :14:02. | |
fine, driving minis and doing really is? The BBC is saying don't worry, | :14:03. | :14:10. | |
this footage won't be shown anyway. Is not going to be shown... What a | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
waste of our money, show it -- it's not going to be. You wrote a book on | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
spin, you know it when you see it. Those wheels were spinning, no | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
question about it. How long have we got, what's going on? Where are we? | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
We've got two minutes left. I like coffee cups. Coffee cups, yeah. | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
Julia, coffee cups? When we go and buy our coffee for ?2 50. ?2 50, | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
you'll be lucky. Apparently all these big companies, Costa and | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
Cathay Nero and Pret, they say they recycle their cups, if you're that | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
obsessed with recycling you're probably not buying a takeaway | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
cardboard cup. You buy a normal cup and reuse that. The recycling claims | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
from a lot of places are all a bit frothy anyway. You wonder how much | :15:11. | :15:12. | |
actually gets recycled. cardboard that has gone into making | :15:13. | :15:27. | |
the cuts has been recycled. This is true. Rather than a promise it's | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
going to be recycled afterwards. It is covered in this waxy stuff. I'm | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
not sure many people going out and buying a coffee really care. These | :15:39. | :15:42. | |
are the people that just throw their cup on the floor anyway, they don't | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
give a monkeys about recycling, I'm speaking from personal experience. I | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
can't let it go. It's very annoying. Little bits of crinkly | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
cardboard that stop your fingers getting burned, that gets recycled. | :15:56. | :16:00. | |
And I still don't care. Julia doesn't give a monkeys, folks. | :16:01. | :16:08. | |
Things on the floor, I don't Oar do care about that. You wouldn't | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
litter, that's very important. Will we get to the wonky dog? May be next | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
on. Now it's time for Sportsday. Hello and welcome to Sportsday, | :16:18. | :16:31. | |
I'm Katherine Downes. | :16:32. | :16:34. |
