:00:19. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:22. > :00:24.With me are the columnist for the Daily Telegraph,
:00:25. > :00:29.Tim Stanley and Susie Boniface, who's a columnist -
:00:30. > :00:33.known as the Fleet Street Fox - for the Mirror.
:00:34. > :00:40.Could only get into the building if you wore blue. We cannot get the
:00:41. > :00:43.pictures of the front pages for some reason, I dent understand why so we
:00:44. > :00:50.are going to have 18 minutes of discussion. And you would be
:00:51. > :00:53.pleased. Let us start with the Telegraph, Hammond's warning to
:00:54. > :01:00.business, irresponsible companies face backlash in push to put workers
:01:01. > :01:05.on board and curb bosses pay. This is Philip Hammond saying that
:01:06. > :01:09.customers want to know that workers' rights are being respected? Guillem
:01:10. > :01:13.act yes and if you read some of the detail, he's talking about defending
:01:14. > :01:18.government plans for workers on boards, he's going to take action on
:01:19. > :01:23.executive pay, he is going to review workers' rights. All on the eve of
:01:24. > :01:29.the Conservative conference, this is almost Corbin nonexpert. This is the
:01:30. > :01:39.kind of thing that will make John McDonnell spit teeth. To know that
:01:40. > :01:44.somehow or another. -- Corbynomics. We have gone a Labour Party quite a
:01:45. > :01:47.long way to the left and that has pushed the Tories even further to
:01:48. > :01:53.the left so I don't know who is right and who is left. Are you
:01:54. > :01:57.convinced by that? Yes. A lot of unions will be pleased and they are
:01:58. > :02:01.concerned that Brexit means that they will have to give up the
:02:02. > :02:06.workers' rights that is bestowing on us by membership of the European
:02:07. > :02:11.Union? I think this interview tells us a couple of things, first of all
:02:12. > :02:17.this suggests that Theresa May has taken charge over Philip Hammond.
:02:18. > :02:22.They have not been elected together, they were thrown together but the
:02:23. > :02:25.fact that Philip Hammond are saying things that you normally associate
:02:26. > :02:29.with Theresa May indicate that he is part of a team and he's not going to
:02:30. > :02:36.go his own way. Secondly tells us that Theresa May wants to be Angela
:02:37. > :02:39.Merkel, it is highly ironic that our Conservative Prime Minister is
:02:40. > :02:44.adopting Christian Democrat European style social and economic policies.
:02:45. > :02:47.What happens in Germany is you have a state managed corporatism whether
:02:48. > :02:52.stating courage is things like workers sitting on boards. That is
:02:53. > :02:55.reflective of her approach towards capitalism, she's not a metropolitan
:02:56. > :03:01.liberal that is into corporations doing what they want, she's not a
:03:02. > :03:05.libertarian. She is a provincial woman. She has been surrounded by
:03:06. > :03:17.small business people all her life, she's someone who sees things from
:03:18. > :03:19.the point of of the shop floor, she has talked about helping the working
:03:20. > :03:21.classes. We are going to see at the conference this week, a very new and
:03:22. > :03:26.distinctive personal brand of conservative. And kitten heels. And
:03:27. > :03:28.what is interesting is that things that Philip Hammond has said, and
:03:29. > :03:32.immigration protecting skilled workers and making sure that the
:03:33. > :03:36.economy doesn't suffer too much, this is the kind of thing that will
:03:37. > :03:40.worry a big chunk of the Conservative Party who you might
:03:41. > :03:44.want to personify as being more white wing or pro-Brexit, saying
:03:45. > :03:50.this sounds like we are not going all of the way for Brexit, how this
:03:51. > :03:55.is all going to work internally if they start having some social
:03:56. > :04:02.Democratic, economic policy that is not currently existing Conservative
:04:03. > :04:07.theology I suppose, ideology, how that is going to work internally,
:04:08. > :04:11.because Liam Fox, John Redwood, Boris Johnson, David Davis, are
:04:12. > :04:19.going to start having hissy fits about this? Yes. We will come back
:04:20. > :04:24.to Theresa May and her control in the times in a minute. The Daily
:04:25. > :04:28.Mail says there are secret taxed eels for football millionaires, they
:04:29. > :04:33.are about to cut their income tax is, how so? It is very complicated,
:04:34. > :04:37.when you are paid by a couple paying football comedy get your salary but
:04:38. > :04:42.there is an issue of what happens to your image rights, like your face
:04:43. > :04:47.appearing on towels and lunchboxes, which apparently happens. Hitherto,
:04:48. > :04:51.what has been happening allegedly is that some players have been diverted
:04:52. > :04:55.the income from the club into the image rights, it means that they can
:04:56. > :04:59.pay a corporation rate of tax on the money they earn rather than an
:05:00. > :05:04.income tax level. The Daily Mail says that what has been going on for
:05:05. > :05:07.two years without us realising is that HMRC allegedly has been saying
:05:08. > :05:11.to players that you shouldn't really do that but if you are going to do
:05:12. > :05:17.that then OK but you can only do that with a fifth of your income.
:05:18. > :05:27.Now they know about it, now suddenly we there about it and that is what
:05:28. > :05:30.the Daily Mail is reporting. Compare to previous behaviour in the image
:05:31. > :05:34.rights, there is an accountancy loophole that the HMRC has caught up
:05:35. > :05:39.with, they have put a limit on how much you can do that, on the one
:05:40. > :05:42.hand, that appears to be HMRC pulling its fingers out, on the
:05:43. > :05:48.other hand when the Daily Mail tries to find out what the current deals
:05:49. > :05:53.are, HMRC have delayed, denied, said no comment, not put stuff out,
:05:54. > :05:57.refused to answer and so despite months of a newspaper asking what
:05:58. > :06:03.the dealers, they haven't said. It doesn't matter whether HMRC think it
:06:04. > :06:07.is popular or not, if this is official policy, with what is
:06:08. > :06:11.happening with tax funding, it is something that everyone should know.
:06:12. > :06:18.So if you have a photograph of yourself with a byline, could you do
:06:19. > :06:22.the same with your newspaper? You can but I don't think you would get
:06:23. > :06:30.away with it. If you are having a picture used with a company website,
:06:31. > :06:38.that is the issue as well. One particular group, is getting
:06:39. > :06:45.favourable treatment. Might image may be used as a dart board. So I
:06:46. > :06:52.don't know if I should be getting money. The Times, saying she is a
:06:53. > :06:58.control freak MP? It just sounds like she has taken over a new job.
:06:59. > :07:02.They are making a lot out of this, is things like Mr Cameron's aides
:07:03. > :07:06.were hustled out of number ten within minutes of him leaving, will
:07:07. > :07:14.that is fairly normal. Apparently Samantha Cameron has met with Philip
:07:15. > :07:18.made, to look at image. And Arab Obama said he was impressed with the
:07:19. > :07:25.gender balance at her team, it doesn't sound like much of a coup
:07:26. > :07:31.d'etat for me. It sounds slightly contrived. Samantha Cameron met with
:07:32. > :07:34.Philip made to talk about a Prime Ministerial spouse, I want to know,
:07:35. > :07:40.what it meant: make sure you have the right kind of bikini for the
:07:41. > :07:43.beach. Watch a wallpaper choices, because when foreign state leaders
:07:44. > :07:52.visit you will have your picture taken. The Daily Mail will be
:07:53. > :07:55.reporting how much oil lamps cost. I would just be fascinated. I'm sure
:07:56. > :08:04.that Philip may sat there and went Ono. To defend, it is true and feet
:08:05. > :08:08.street feels that part of the problem with Theresa May is that she
:08:09. > :08:11.is so self-possessed and self-controlled, she keeps her own
:08:12. > :08:19.counsel and she doesn't gossip and leak stuff. We need a wreck as our
:08:20. > :08:23.Prime Minister. -- we want. Try to piece together a personality
:08:24. > :08:26.profile, don't forget, the conference is the first big chance
:08:27. > :08:30.to present herself to Britain and explain what she's going to do.
:08:31. > :08:34.Trying to piece together some picture of her private life is
:08:35. > :08:39.Ashley pretty hard to do. No wonder they are going on about her shoes so
:08:40. > :08:47.much. Character is all they have got. Polish builders have been saved
:08:48. > :08:53.from Brexit, European construction workers and tradespeople are set for
:08:54. > :08:57.an exemption. This was a worry, that key workers who were not bankers
:08:58. > :09:04.were going to find it difficult to come and work in the country? It was
:09:05. > :09:08.one of those on main things that was going to be discussed at length,
:09:09. > :09:14.whether we were going to lose the migrants, or whether there was no
:09:15. > :09:18.point. Unsurprisingly, there will be some kind of a fudge, where you
:09:19. > :09:23.store have the migrants that you need. But as with everything with
:09:24. > :09:28.Brexit, you have to see the inside of it to see what the text is, but
:09:29. > :09:33.this can only be speculation because we do not know. There have been no
:09:34. > :09:38.deals, no discussion, has anything been published yet, about what is
:09:39. > :09:42.gay to happen with freedom of movement, maybe a freedom of
:09:43. > :09:47.movement with some foreign country. A sort of EU style freedom of
:09:48. > :09:51.movement. Or whether we will have any kind of movement, we don't know
:09:52. > :09:59.so this whole front page is guesswork. There will be a lot of
:10:00. > :10:02.occupations that will want to have opportunities like that? Yes it is
:10:03. > :10:07.not clear exactly what system will suit that, we thought it might be a
:10:08. > :10:10.points-based system, it has been suggested that is not tough enough.
:10:11. > :10:15.The interview we have got with Philip Hammond, he insists that
:10:16. > :10:19.whatever happens, access to high skilled workers will be retained yet
:10:20. > :10:23.we have also been given word that the system will involve quotas in
:10:24. > :10:36.some way and actual numbers will be brought down because when Theresa
:10:37. > :10:38.May was Home Secretary, she said she felt frustrated in her attempts for
:10:39. > :10:40.immigration so that suggests that there will be an attempt to reduce
:10:41. > :10:43.numbers, but exactly who and how they will manage that and who
:10:44. > :10:47.decides how the workers are important. Britain divorce lawyers,
:10:48. > :10:51.draft Brexit on art, wine and property, our share of the spoils.
:10:52. > :10:58.This is the most important thing in any split, I made sure that my
:10:59. > :11:02.husband didn't get the wine. He doesn't know that. He does now. I
:11:03. > :11:08.was drinking it for years, it was brilliant. What they are talking
:11:09. > :11:14.about is that although we are going to split, don't laugh, it is true.
:11:15. > :11:18.There are a lot of EU assets. So although we will have to lose money
:11:19. > :11:22.on one side, our trade negotiators are going to look at the other side
:11:23. > :11:27.of the balance sheet in terms of apparently, we owe them a part of a
:11:28. > :11:31.European art collection. According to the amount that we pay into the
:11:32. > :11:37.EU we may well have some sort of claiming rights over 5000 bottles of
:11:38. > :11:43.wine. But only 250 bottles of spirits. 2.25 euros million worth of
:11:44. > :11:47.art and 10 million euros worth of book value at European Court of
:11:48. > :11:51.Justice building, and they will also talk about pension deals because
:11:52. > :11:55.there are British citizens who are employees of the EU through us in
:11:56. > :11:58.Brussels who have pension rights, who have jobs in the have to decide
:11:59. > :12:02.what they are going to do in terms of keeping it on. Whether we will
:12:03. > :12:07.pay their pensions for 50 years down the road, it is like any divorce, it
:12:08. > :12:13.is the pensions and the assets that cause the real row. I say keep it
:12:14. > :12:18.simple, just that half of the wealth down the middle and we will take one
:12:19. > :12:24.half and they will take the other. One of the things that stands out,
:12:25. > :12:27.is a building. It is 32 Smith Square, the former home of
:12:28. > :12:32.Conservative Central office, is currently run by the EU on behalf of
:12:33. > :12:37.the European Parliament and in that building Nigel Farage currently has
:12:38. > :12:42.an office. Says he's rented an office in the EU which we are going
:12:43. > :12:49.to take back anyway. What a confusing mess. We are going back to
:12:50. > :12:54.the mail. I am putting it to one side because I was hoping we did not
:12:55. > :13:05.have to talk about this. The Daily Mail. Charlatan George, charlatan
:13:06. > :13:11.pull-out. -- Charlotte and George. Do you have a problem with this? Why
:13:12. > :13:15.would I? This is great, this is about projecting Britain around the
:13:16. > :13:19.world, this is about building bridges and alliances and
:13:20. > :13:22.reaffirming historical ties. That is what the Royal family exists to do,
:13:23. > :13:26.they are human beings but they are also effectively bankrolled by us,
:13:27. > :13:30.they are the face of us and what they can do to spread joy around the
:13:31. > :13:42.world and increase its image and earning power, I say God bless you
:13:43. > :13:46.man. Your 32nd start now. You are entirely right, this Canadian trip
:13:47. > :13:51.is not just a nice holiday, this has been arranged purely because we are
:13:52. > :13:54.currently involved in Canadian Brexit negotiations. Canada has
:13:55. > :13:58.recently talked about and EU trade deal for itself and it wants us to
:13:59. > :14:03.join a trade deal, we would be quite keen on joining it, so that we can
:14:04. > :14:08.Brexit sooner. Part of the reason therefore, you have a royal visit,
:14:09. > :14:12.it was when William and Kate turn up, there is lots of fantastic
:14:13. > :14:16.beneficial effects from that and you have more tourism. You can bring a
:14:17. > :14:21.whole swathe of government officials along with you and lots of media
:14:22. > :14:25.coverage and tourist spots. What is wrong with that? The fact is that is
:14:26. > :14:30.what the raw family is poor. But I don't think that is what a
:14:31. > :14:32.16-month-old child should be doing. They are sweet young children but
:14:33. > :14:37.they had been born into a family that does this for a living whether
:14:38. > :14:40.they like it or not and I tend to think that the children should be
:14:41. > :14:43.going on a trade deal mission which is what this is and many of them are
:14:44. > :14:49.coming up in the next year or 18 months around the world. They should
:14:50. > :14:53.be doing that when they are 15 and 18 not when they are 16 months and
:14:54. > :14:57.three years old. They can take them with and not have a photograph, that
:14:58. > :15:02.is what happens, Kate and wheels are very good at making sure, the fact
:15:03. > :15:05.that they are being pushed out like this is purely to put money in
:15:06. > :15:14.businessmen 's pockets, it is not to make us happy. I think that there
:15:15. > :15:21.should be a creche that they are put into. I might ask them to give you
:15:22. > :15:27.some parenting advice. The Guardian says that Syrian regime blocks 80%
:15:28. > :15:33.of the supply. Just six convoys reaches it. How much of an exclusive
:15:34. > :15:39.this is I don't know, but the scale of the obstruction is what leaks
:15:40. > :15:42.out? Absolutely, the ceasefire has broken down effectively, the great
:15:43. > :15:45.powers have not managed to bring peace and stability, the reason for
:15:46. > :15:50.that is because the side they are backing have contrary aims, which
:15:51. > :15:58.this appalling story is a reflection what matters to President Assad is
:15:59. > :16:01.not ending the civil war, bringing peace and stability, what matters is
:16:02. > :16:07.securing control of the hit, and even if it means securing aid, he
:16:08. > :16:15.will do it. What can the international community do about it?
:16:16. > :16:19.It is almost impossible, there is no guy in a white hats that you can
:16:20. > :16:24.back to be the eventual victor. There is no promise of democracy,
:16:25. > :16:27.there is just horrible people. So it will be messed the matter what you
:16:28. > :16:31.are going to do and I think it is too late to do anything about it. It
:16:32. > :16:36.is going to be what it is going to be, it is a vacuum.
:16:37. > :16:43.Mighty change with a change of American president? No, one
:16:44. > :16:49.candidate supports the policy status quo had argued he was responsible
:16:50. > :16:52.for the status quo in Hillary Clinton and the other candidates
:16:53. > :16:58.point of view in Syria are very hard to concern. They are crazy. They
:16:59. > :17:05.imply that he's not ready to do the job. Finally, the Stealth bedroom
:17:06. > :17:10.tax, the poorest pensioners to lose hundreds of pounds a year. But I
:17:11. > :17:15.thought, that there was supposed to be some kind of exemption or extra
:17:16. > :17:20.help? There is supposed to be a system by which you can claim by
:17:21. > :17:24.your local authority some emergency support, but that was a finite fund
:17:25. > :17:28.that was set up under the coalition government. That money will have
:17:29. > :17:33.long since run out so it may well be that you will be further hit by a
:17:34. > :17:36.bedroom tax and there is going to be problems for you. However I did see
:17:37. > :17:42.something saying that the bedroom tax was not going to be committed
:17:43. > :17:45.quite as harshly so who knows? And of course its official name is the
:17:46. > :17:49.spare room subsidy and you could argue that with the housing crisis,
:17:50. > :17:55.can we afford to have people living in homes bigger than they need?
:17:56. > :17:59.Equally the scale of housing problem is such that the number of families
:18:00. > :18:03.affected by it is so comparatively small that the idea of driving one
:18:04. > :18:07.person out of their home in order to free it up for seven people is
:18:08. > :18:12.arguably fantasy. I have no reason to say this, but I get the
:18:13. > :18:19.impression, that what is happening in number ten, everything is on the
:18:20. > :18:24.table. It might be another area of welfare reform they are trying to
:18:25. > :18:27.roll back and this is the kind of headline, I have an instinct that it
:18:28. > :18:35.is the kind of thing that reason they doesn't want associated with
:18:36. > :18:47.her government. Just as cold. As it is here. That is it for tonight,
:18:48. > :18:57.don't forget, you can read a detailed review, on the papers page
:18:58. > :19:02.of our Internet. And each night addition is posted shortly after it
:19:03. > :19:08.is finished, and also thank you to Tim Stanley and Susan Boniface.
:19:09. > :19:09.Coming up next is: the
