:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:18. > :00:20.With me are Tom Bergin, who is Reuters' business
:00:21. > :00:22.correspondent, and the senior political correspondent
:00:23. > :00:29.Tomorrow's front pages: The Daily Express leads on words
:00:30. > :00:32.of optimism by the Prime Minister about Brexit and the UK's economic
:00:33. > :00:36.Allegations against Labour MP and Chair of the Home Affairs Select
:00:37. > :00:39.Committee Keith Vaz paying to meet male escorts make the front
:00:40. > :00:43.The Daily Telegraph has more on the Keith Vaz story,
:00:44. > :00:45.but a smiling Theresa May enjoying the limelight
:00:46. > :00:50.Brexit makes the lead in the Guardian.
:00:51. > :00:54.The paper claims the Prime Minister has declined to endorse pledges made
:00:55. > :00:58.by the vote leave camp for a points-based immigration system.
:00:59. > :01:02.It also has an impressive picture of the replica of the Great Fire
:01:03. > :01:06.of London, which was set alight tonight to commemorate the 350th
:01:07. > :01:09.anniversary of the original epic blaze.
:01:10. > :01:12.The Daily Mail also runs the Keith Vaz allegations
:01:13. > :01:16.on its front page, along with news from a report which says E coli
:01:17. > :01:20.is found in a quarter of supermarket chickens.
:01:21. > :01:23.And finally, the Mirror devotes almost its whole front page
:01:24. > :01:25.to Keith Vaz, saying the senior politicians faces calls
:01:26. > :01:40.Let's start with a few of the headlines, then, regarding Brexit
:01:41. > :01:44.and what it might look like. The Daily Telegraph says the PM could
:01:45. > :01:48.stop Boris Johnson's plan for points -based immigration. This is
:01:49. > :01:53.something that Australia has been using for quite a long time. It has
:01:54. > :01:57.been pointed to as something we could adopt, but not necessarily. It
:01:58. > :02:02.is the magic wallet for immigration according to the Brexit campaign. It
:02:03. > :02:07.looks here, there is more detail in the FT, that Theresa May is taking a
:02:08. > :02:10.position whereby she would look at reverential treatment for EU
:02:11. > :02:14.citizens. Of course the aim here would be to try and preserve more
:02:15. > :02:17.access to the single market by giving a bit more leeway with
:02:18. > :02:23.respect to access to the Labour market, while at the same time not
:02:24. > :02:26.allowing it into our policy. It is not clear if this would work,
:02:27. > :02:29.certainly in terms of achieving access to the single market because
:02:30. > :02:33.our partners in Europe have been pretty clear they want to have total
:02:34. > :02:38.open door or no deal on trade access. And employers often need
:02:39. > :02:43.speed, they need to be able to recruit people quite quickly. Yes,
:02:44. > :02:48.that's it. In many ways that was a dividing line in the EU referendum.
:02:49. > :02:51.The boss class, employers, wanting higher net inward immigration
:02:52. > :02:55.because of cheaper Labour and workers who feel their wages have
:02:56. > :03:02.been depressed because of migration to the UK. The Guardian, Theresa May
:03:03. > :03:05.refuses to guarantee Brexit alleges, saying the extra money for the NHS
:03:06. > :03:11.which was talked about rather controversially at the time, and
:03:12. > :03:15.also these warnings from Japan and the United States, still saying this
:03:16. > :03:19.is not going to do you any good if you leave the single market. There
:03:20. > :03:22.is still a lot of uncertainty around what Brexit really means, and I
:03:23. > :03:27.think it is a key issue. The Australian style points system, the
:03:28. > :03:32.?100 million extra each week from the US if we left the EU, and cuts
:03:33. > :03:36.the energy bills, all pledges made by the Leave campaign. He told the
:03:37. > :03:40.British public this is what you can do if you vote for Brexit but of
:03:41. > :03:44.course the Leave campaign were not the government and now Theresa May
:03:45. > :03:48.is making pretty clear she is not necessarily going to accept pledges
:03:49. > :03:52.made by leave campaigners. And the ?100 million was a net figure, the
:03:53. > :03:57.number on the side of the bus which we will never forget was ?350
:03:58. > :04:00.million. The Prime Minister can point to the fact that the CBI for
:04:01. > :04:10.example is saying that businesses are doing very well. The value of
:04:11. > :04:16.the pound has fallen. Yes, you can look at the FTSE, doing very well.
:04:17. > :04:20.The reality is, jobs and actual real-world economic activity in this
:04:21. > :04:23.country, and whether over the long-term that will continue. I
:04:24. > :04:26.think that has always been a concern for people so we will see what
:04:27. > :04:29.happens with growth and unemployment. But the question in
:04:30. > :04:33.terms of the guarantee, she has a very difficult thing to do. She is
:04:34. > :04:38.trying to deliver on mutually exclusive and contradictory promises
:04:39. > :04:44.on the part of the campaign. So very difficult choices to make them. And
:04:45. > :04:49.on this subject, the Daily Express, no fear over EU exit, she has been
:04:50. > :04:52.warned off watering down a deal with Brussels but a deal has to be
:04:53. > :04:57.negotiated. It is not necessarily what written what is, it is what
:04:58. > :05:02.other people are prepared to give us -- what Britain wants. She is
:05:03. > :05:07.optimistic and looking at the benefits and lots of up the
:05:08. > :05:10.statements, but not a lot of detail. I think that at the moment that is
:05:11. > :05:14.something which increasingly we are going to see business asking for. We
:05:15. > :05:19.have already had up partners asking for that. Is will hold off
:05:20. > :05:27.investments if they don't know what the future is like. Looking at the
:05:28. > :05:32.FT, Hinkley Point offers prize to EDF and Chinese partner. So this is
:05:33. > :05:37.a little bit complicated. It is a little bit complicated but this is a
:05:38. > :05:41.boon for critics of the Hinkley Point project. A new analysis says
:05:42. > :05:49.that EDF, a French backed company, and CGM, the Chinese state backed
:05:50. > :05:53.company, stand to make ?100 billion in revenue if the nuclear power
:05:54. > :05:58.station goes ahead -- CGN. And the interesting thing here is that the
:05:59. > :06:03.very controversial model of pricing electricity that the whole project
:06:04. > :06:07.centres on, the burden of that increased price will fall on
:06:08. > :06:12.consumers. And this has had the breaks put on it. Whether this
:06:13. > :06:20.project goes ahead in its previous form. Absolutely, according to
:06:21. > :06:24.former colleagues, Theresa May has concerns about security implications
:06:25. > :06:28.of Chinese investment in the UK. It may also be about the money. It will
:06:29. > :06:31.involve the company is getting twice the current rate of electricity, the
:06:32. > :06:36.differential may be higher in the future because it is an inflation
:06:37. > :06:39.linked price and we are looking for shale gas, and if we ever find that
:06:40. > :06:45.the cost of electricity generation will go down. Financially this is
:06:46. > :06:49.enormous. ?30 billion is the cost of the subsidy, that is what you and I
:06:50. > :06:52.will be paying for it if it goes through. You can understand why
:06:53. > :06:56.Theresa May is giving pause for thought. The Times has a headline
:06:57. > :07:01.that the NHS blows nearly ?2 billion in payoffs to bosses, these are
:07:02. > :07:06.redundancy settlements. Yes, obviously bosses in the NHS is a
:07:07. > :07:11.perennial question. We talk about how there is not a lot of criticism
:07:12. > :07:15.of inefficiencies in the NHS, and they get in professional managers
:07:16. > :07:19.and they seem to be a source of increasing inefficiency according to
:07:20. > :07:23.many of these reports. Some of those are not founded at it does seem in
:07:24. > :07:26.this case that people have received pay-outs which are well above the
:07:27. > :07:32.ceiling the government had put on pay-outs. And a huge amount of money
:07:33. > :07:36.leaves the NHS at a time when it is struggling for money and it seems
:07:37. > :07:39.that some of those posts have to be either reinvented or people brought
:07:40. > :07:44.back in on a freelance, contractual basis. You are absolutely right, at
:07:45. > :07:48.a time when the NHS is having to ration services in some areas,
:07:49. > :07:52.surgery being refused to obese patients, for example, people are
:07:53. > :07:55.very angered to see that 6-figure payoffs going beyond the cat
:07:56. > :08:00.mentioned and sometimes two or three times that tap, are being paid at
:08:01. > :08:04.the managers. This goes back to the restructuring of the NHS led by the
:08:05. > :08:09.former Health Secretary under the coalition government. A huge tearing
:08:10. > :08:14.up of the structures of the NHS which led to a lot of post is being
:08:15. > :08:18.abolished and reformed. Some people left their job and were given big
:08:19. > :08:21.pay-outs, but in a revolving door system they come back to work for
:08:22. > :08:26.the NHS again in a different capacity. Let's look at a couple of
:08:27. > :08:31.stories from the Daily Mail. Shameless is the headline. It is
:08:32. > :08:34.talking about these allegations surrounding Keith Vaz, the Labour MP
:08:35. > :08:38.for Leicester East and also who has been sharing the Home Affairs Select
:08:39. > :08:42.Committee for the last five years. He clings to power after paying Mail
:08:43. > :08:49.escorts. He blames the press for exposing him, and Jeremy Corbyn, the
:08:50. > :08:53.Labour Party leader, dismisses the scandal as a private matter. In most
:08:54. > :08:59.parts of the country, paying for sex is not illegal. All these
:09:00. > :09:05.allegations at the moment, and Keith Vaz has expressed his deep
:09:06. > :09:09.reservations and concerns about the fact that the Daily Mirror has even
:09:10. > :09:14.run the story in the way it has run it. Yes, I think the key issue here,
:09:15. > :09:18.why the story would be in the public interest, is because he chairs the
:09:19. > :09:22.Home Affairs Committee which looks into vice issues. It is even at the
:09:23. > :09:27.moment running an enquiry into prostitution. So the allegations
:09:28. > :09:31.against Keith Vaz are that he has himself participated and liaised
:09:32. > :09:35.with prostitutes, raising lots of questions and making people think is
:09:36. > :09:39.he really the right person to be presiding over an enquiry which is
:09:40. > :09:44.looking into laws to do with sex workers. It is an interesting one. I
:09:45. > :09:49.mean, Jeremy Corbyn is saying it is a private matter, as we discussed.
:09:50. > :09:53.The issue of solicitation of prostitutes is a legal area of
:09:54. > :09:57.ambiguity in the United Kingdom, solicitation from an automobile is
:09:58. > :10:01.not legal, solicitation at all in Northern Ireland is not legal. Even
:10:02. > :10:05.if it was totally legal, it is an area where I think people aren't
:10:06. > :10:08.entirely comfortable with it, and I think that the issue of being a
:10:09. > :10:12.private matter, probably a lot of voters would not take that view. And
:10:13. > :10:16.that particular point may make his position, even though these at this
:10:17. > :10:21.stage are just allegations, that may make his position of authority
:10:22. > :10:26.difficult to sustain longer term. He says, he has referred to what the
:10:27. > :10:30.Sunday express has done -- he has referred what the Sunday express has
:10:31. > :10:34.done to his solicitor. There has been no confirmation whether these
:10:35. > :10:39.are true so difficult week ahead for Keith Vaz. Still on the Daily Mail,
:10:40. > :10:43.superbug found in a quarter of chickens. I feel I can read this
:10:44. > :10:48.story a few years ago. It is interesting, and it is all coming in
:10:49. > :10:51.the wake of... When you see that, it takes the question of whether we
:10:52. > :10:54.have enough regulation of food standards. We have had a campaign as
:10:55. > :10:58.a newspaper for the last several months about getting rid of
:10:59. > :11:02.regulations. It is a very interesting situation, but obviously
:11:03. > :11:05.it is not good if chickens have got this... Unfortunately from the
:11:06. > :11:10.reporting that we've seen in the newspaper, not a lot of details of
:11:11. > :11:13.what the problem is here, what failings in which stores all which
:11:14. > :11:17.rules are not being followed. It would be interesting to see more
:11:18. > :11:23.detail on this. Even if we don't have EU regulations, we have our own
:11:24. > :11:28.regulations which suggest that E-coli in chickens are not a great
:11:29. > :11:32.idea. I am glad to say I am a vegetarian. But it does worry me,
:11:33. > :11:36.the antibiotics pumped into supermarket chickens. E-coli is
:11:37. > :11:40.another matter altogether but one in four chickens having a strain of the
:11:41. > :11:44.superbug sounds very worrying if that is correct. Yes, we have had
:11:45. > :11:49.other bugs in the past, eggs which were not particularly safe, and
:11:50. > :11:54.Selman Eller. That is going back a bit, but this is E-coli this time,
:11:55. > :12:00.so resistant to antibiotics. That is the issue and it can be deadly, of
:12:01. > :12:05.course. The Daily Express page two, Mother Teresa made a saint. And it
:12:06. > :12:13.hasn't taken long. She died in 1997 and already she seems to have been
:12:14. > :12:18.sort of fast tracked. Absolutely, and as an Irish person, I assumed
:12:19. > :12:22.she was a saint for years. It is not surprised it is coming in as quickly
:12:23. > :12:27.and a huge turnout today. Among the Catholic faithful is a bit tricky
:12:28. > :12:31.among the more religious, I suppose, of Catholics. She is a very popular
:12:32. > :12:35.figure. But of course in other areas she has had her critics, about, you
:12:36. > :12:40.know, helping alleviate poverty but maybe not focusing on the root
:12:41. > :12:44.causes of poverty. She might of course have argued that as a
:12:45. > :12:47.political area, which she thought she shouldn't straight into but
:12:48. > :12:51.nowadays we see advocacy to be quite important. There has also been
:12:52. > :12:55.criticism of who she took money from, some of the sources of that
:12:56. > :13:01.money were a bit suspect. Yes, she is not a whiter than white figure in
:13:02. > :13:04.many people's eyes. There is a lot of controversy surrounding Mother
:13:05. > :13:10.Teresa. But she is such a global icon, I am not surprised she has
:13:11. > :13:15.been canonised in only 19 years. It is a formalisation of what many
:13:16. > :13:18.people thought anyway. And just to say, one key thing is she was the
:13:19. > :13:24.stigmatising working with people like lepers, AIDS patients at the
:13:25. > :13:27.time, other types of ill and destitute people who were considered
:13:28. > :13:37.untouchable and that is a legacy that should be honoured. Page three
:13:38. > :13:42.of the Times. Poldark, it is a Cornish name, Lewis the Jetset to
:13:43. > :13:51.Cornwall. Are they all hoping to get an eye on Captain Poldark? I wonder.
:13:52. > :13:55.As it happens I went with Boris Johnson on the Brexit trail to
:13:56. > :14:00.Cornwall and we stopped in a town and some women in the village
:14:01. > :14:03.crowded around the bus and they were hoping to see Poldark, not Boris
:14:04. > :14:07.Johnson. The show has exquisite scenery and I'm not surprised that
:14:08. > :14:11.the story says a fifth of all visitors to Cornwall in the past
:14:12. > :14:14.year say that they were inspired by a Poldark to come and see the
:14:15. > :14:19.landscape for themselves. And there have been a lot of programmes over
:14:20. > :14:22.the years which have done that the various parts of the country. I
:14:23. > :14:27.guess so, yes. Obviously Poldark is fronted by an Irish actor. I
:14:28. > :14:33.remarked to your producer that it was good to see a show which were
:14:34. > :14:37.still marketed the Irish charm. She said actually it was set in Cornwall
:14:38. > :14:45.and I was feeling a bit deflated. Our rude, and you are a guest! But
:14:46. > :14:52.it is a reminder again of the importance of the way that culture
:14:53. > :14:57.itself as an significance beyond immediate viewership -- and
:14:58. > :15:00.economics significance. These programmes get sold overseas, people
:15:01. > :15:09.watch them in the United States. And finally, fact and fiction merge as a
:15:10. > :15:11.character from The Archers goes on trial. This has been a very
:15:12. > :15:18.well-publicised storyline, this woman who is on trial in The Archers
:15:19. > :15:24.on Radio 4 for trying to potentially kill her husband, Robert, who by
:15:25. > :15:28.many people's standards is a very controlling man. Yes, it is
:15:29. > :15:32.extraordinary that pick up it has had, and when you think of The
:15:33. > :15:41.Archers as a gently rolling, bucolic sort of storyline, it is really --
:15:42. > :15:45.real drama. It has had interesting consequences, there have been
:15:46. > :15:50.thousands of pounds raised for charity, an uptick in calls to
:15:51. > :15:54.domestic violence helpline is, and are raised in awareness. And every
:15:55. > :15:56.body wants to know the verdict. We will have to wait and see.
:15:57. > :15:59.Thank you, Tom Bergin and Lucy Fisher.
:16:00. > :16:08.Coming up next, it is The Film Review.
