:00:13. > :00:15.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:16. > :00:21.With me are the political commentator James Millar
:00:22. > :00:40.The Financial Times says Mrs May has given the clearest indication yet
:00:41. > :00:45.that Britain will break away from the single market.
:00:46. > :00:49.Brexit is leading the i's front page too, who are summing up the PM's
:00:50. > :00:51.first major speech on Britain's decision to leave the European Union
:00:52. > :00:59.The Metro also leads on Brexit and Mrs May's decision
:01:00. > :01:02.to fire the starting gun on Article 50 by March 2017,
:01:03. > :01:05.highlighting the Prime Minister's comments that there will be "no opt
:01:06. > :01:08.The Telegraph are highlighting a quote from Theresa May that
:01:09. > :01:11."we must look beyond Europe" as well as a pledge,
:01:12. > :01:12.announced by Government ministers, to dedicate ?5 million
:01:13. > :01:24.And, in addition to Brexit, the Guardian have also made
:01:25. > :01:31.room for the referendum result in Hungary.
:01:32. > :01:48.Starting with Brexit, any of you watch the speech is life today? Bits
:01:49. > :01:54.and pieces. After the event. The Financial Times says it is her first
:01:55. > :01:57.significant speech on the subject, it is her first speech on the
:01:58. > :02:04.subject since she became Prime Minister. She said Brexit means
:02:05. > :02:10.Brexit. Did you take it as hard Brexit? Yes, although she says there
:02:11. > :02:15.is no such thing, but she means there is only one thing, a hard
:02:16. > :02:20.Brexit. According to the Financial Times, her team deny that what she
:02:21. > :02:25.said means that Britain wants to leave the single market, but what
:02:26. > :02:31.she said about wanting control on immigration and not wanting to be
:02:32. > :02:34.under the jurisdiction of the European Court, both those are the
:02:35. > :02:40.pillars of remaining within a single market, so by default she has said,
:02:41. > :02:45.we are going, and those things are more important to us than being in a
:02:46. > :02:51.single market, which will cause grave concern not only within her
:02:52. > :02:56.own front bench and party, but also business and the opposition in
:02:57. > :03:00.parliament. But which goes down a treat with her members, which may be
:03:01. > :03:05.why it she said it, because it went down a storm in the hall. Outside
:03:06. > :03:12.the hall, her backbenchers, you mentioned the opposition, it is Tim
:03:13. > :03:17.Farron of the Liberal Democrats that is quoted in the Financial Times,
:03:18. > :03:21.saying it is a disaster for British jobs, business and economy, and
:03:22. > :03:26.there is no sign of Labour or the SNP, the more significant opposition
:03:27. > :03:31.parties in terms of parliamentary reticent Asian. Nicola Sturgeon
:03:32. > :03:38.tweeted her displeasure, she said that Theresa May had completely...
:03:39. > :03:47.For somebody who was keen on keeping Britain United, she kind of said the
:03:48. > :03:54.opposite. They went and met early on, there was mutual respect in a
:03:55. > :03:59.room of her's mutual respect. In a room of her own supporters, she said
:04:00. > :04:05.Holyrood can get lost. She has no time for divisive nationalists, and
:04:06. > :04:11.there is no opt out from Brexit. She has backed Nicola Sturgeon into a
:04:12. > :04:19.corner. It is a game of poker. The Guardian picks up on the hard Brexit
:04:20. > :04:25.line. What they have picked up on it a bit of reaction from Europe, from
:04:26. > :04:30.the EU. It is quoting Donald Tusk, the head of the European Council,
:04:31. > :04:35.his response on Twitter was, once it is triggered... First of all, relief
:04:36. > :04:41.that we have said when we will trigger it, but he has also said
:04:42. > :04:45.that once the article is triggered, the EU will engage to safeguard its
:04:46. > :04:51.interests, which of course will happen, why would it do anything
:04:52. > :04:55.different? We can expect an inflexible and uncompromising
:04:56. > :05:01.approach. It is pointed but it is entirely obvious. He tweeted it out,
:05:02. > :05:08.as did Nicola Sturgeon. A very new thing. Senior figures tweeting their
:05:09. > :05:19.response. They seem to have embraced social media. They have no choice in
:05:20. > :05:25.the matter! The Metro, Theresa May to fired the starting gun by the end
:05:26. > :05:33.of March, putting Britain on course to be out of the EU by 2019. It
:05:34. > :05:38.sounds so simple! It will be fine, we will just go! The IFS says the
:05:39. > :05:44.economy will shrink by 5%, but it will be all right! It is not that
:05:45. > :05:50.much of a surprise, the timescale. I have spoken to various people in the
:05:51. > :05:53.EU, they said, they have got to be out by May 2019, because that is
:05:54. > :05:58.when there are European Parliament elections. It looks like Theresa May
:05:59. > :06:11.has signed up to that timescale. It is a nice headline, good work! It is
:06:12. > :06:15.a bit of fun. The independent goes into the party. Although they have
:06:16. > :06:21.made a lot about the reception that she received at the conference,
:06:22. > :06:29.better than Jeremy Corbyn received at their conference... I don't know,
:06:30. > :06:33.his went down well also. But they said a lot of the problems are still
:06:34. > :06:41.there. A lot of the problems are still here. This is what they say.
:06:42. > :06:51.Who is not happy within the party? 80 pro-EU Tories, apparently,
:06:52. > :06:54.including a senior PR. She has a slim majority, she could not afford
:06:55. > :06:59.to hack off large chunks of her party, so that will be interesting.
:07:00. > :07:03.It is fascinating, we went into the Labour conference thinking it would
:07:04. > :07:07.be a disaster, and it was but quite as bad, and you go into the Tory
:07:08. > :07:11.conference thinking that Theresa May is fairly confident, but we may, at
:07:12. > :07:17.the other side thinking that the Tories are in is equal a mess as
:07:18. > :07:23.Labour. I am glad they have picked up on this, because we have focused
:07:24. > :07:30.on Labour being this United, but if you got the goods of the tips, -- if
:07:31. > :07:38.you look at the Conservatives, her front bench, if they are going to
:07:39. > :07:42.follow up on what they have said, they don't want to leave the single
:07:43. > :07:48.market, that is what they have said. This is a really big split. I don't
:07:49. > :07:52.know how she is going to bring them with her in this hard Brexit that
:07:53. > :08:01.she has announced. Did you listen back to Boris Johnson? Don't be
:08:02. > :08:04.laughing! Is a serious matter! Getting used to Boris Johnson as
:08:05. > :08:13.Foreign Secretary! His hair looks tidy. We were discussing, why has
:08:14. > :08:20.she done this? If she went for a soft Brexit, people like Boris
:08:21. > :08:27.Johnson and Liam Fox would go off on one. If she talks up a hard Brexit,
:08:28. > :08:34.people like Amber Road, Sergei Javad, they are not going to go off
:08:35. > :08:37.the handle. It maybe gives you a hint to why she has done it this
:08:38. > :08:43.way. They might cause trouble in other ways. It depends. People like
:08:44. > :08:48.Philip Hammond have said clearly they think leaving the single market
:08:49. > :08:54.would be a mistake. Philip Hammond is not a man who has ever flown off
:08:55. > :09:00.the handle in his life! Maybe not publicly, but in terms of the
:09:01. > :09:04.Government's position, and what we going to negotiate for, if the
:09:05. > :09:11.majority of the party to think that a single market hard Brexit would be
:09:12. > :09:17.a mistake, it will be in testing to see how this plays out, and the
:09:18. > :09:20.opposition party will mobilise and unify. The Labour Party can agree
:09:21. > :09:29.that they do want access to the single market. The Tories say hard
:09:30. > :09:35.or soft Brexit, the EU would not have accepted anything but the hard
:09:36. > :09:40.option, but they? The EU is pragmatic above all things, and they
:09:41. > :09:46.will find answers that suit them, essentially. Hard Brexit might well
:09:47. > :09:54.be what they were after and what they might get, but there is an
:09:55. > :10:00.issue of Germany selling BMWs in Britain, they do everywhere, that is
:10:01. > :10:04.not how you make these deals, but lots of EU businesses want access to
:10:05. > :10:12.Britain. Theresa May said there will be give and take. The CBI said there
:10:13. > :10:16.is not enough details yet. They were not really reassured by what they
:10:17. > :10:21.had heard. That is what has come up. The reason may have said she will
:10:22. > :10:26.not provide a running commentary, and that is true, you don't want to
:10:27. > :10:30.give away the hand you are playing, but it raises questions for
:10:31. > :10:36.Parliament. If they are not pretty to any of this, how is that going to
:10:37. > :10:44.play out in dry constitutional terms? Let's turn to what could have
:10:45. > :10:52.been interesting for the EU, events in Hungary. Turning back to the
:10:53. > :10:59.Guardian. It looks like he is in trouble. It is a good day for the
:11:00. > :11:05.EU, they have got a timescale out of Theresa May, and this referendum on
:11:06. > :11:12.whether Hungary should accept 1294 refugees... It is not much. The
:11:13. > :11:19.people who voted voted for it, but most people did not vote, so it does
:11:20. > :11:24.not stand. In a country of 8 million eligible voters, less than 50%
:11:25. > :11:32.turned up. 95% said they are not going to agree, of the 45%. It is
:11:33. > :11:37.not as if they were talking about major numbers anyway, and it is not
:11:38. > :11:40.as though... They have not even accepted that many, they have
:11:41. > :11:47.approved a tiny percentage of applications. A lot of them not
:11:48. > :11:52.wanting to stay in Hungary. A lot of them say, you are not that great
:11:53. > :11:59.anyway, you are not welcoming, so we will move on. It has been a transit
:12:00. > :12:04.place. It is a sign of The Times, even on those terms... He is trying
:12:05. > :12:14.to stand up to the EU, is part of the point of it. It did not work.
:12:15. > :12:19.Could he risk doing that? He relies on the EU for so much, it is a big
:12:20. > :12:25.risk. Most people decided not to take the risk. He can maybe do that,
:12:26. > :12:29.but if you are a normal person in Hungary, you don't want to take the
:12:30. > :12:37.risk, because Hungary benefits from the EU. Finally, going back to the
:12:38. > :12:44.Financial Times. On demand TV switches off, National Grid Spike to
:12:45. > :12:50.put kettle on after show. We often hear about these spikes. They
:12:51. > :12:54.describe it as a British phenomenon, whereby there would be a surge on
:12:55. > :12:59.the National Grid because people would be rushing off to turn on the
:13:00. > :13:03.kettle either in advertising breaks or because they are watching the BBC
:13:04. > :13:08.and it is not in the ad break but it is at the end of a programme, but
:13:09. > :13:13.now people are not watching programmes lied so much anymore,
:13:14. > :13:22.there is OnDemand, iPlayer, so that is not happening anymore. I think it
:13:23. > :13:27.is a fantastic story. It drops in nuggets like grid managers used to
:13:28. > :13:33.get the radio Times survey could see if any blockbusters were coming. It
:13:34. > :13:39.makes sense. My kids don't watch TV, they watch YouTube and iPlayer. You
:13:40. > :13:43.think, of course. It makes you wonder about how they connect
:13:44. > :13:47.viewing figures. Because everybody is going back to watch something at
:13:48. > :13:52.a later time or a later date. The BBC is collecting the figures from
:13:53. > :13:56.the kettle statistics from the National Grid, not the other way
:13:57. > :14:07.round! The best bit is the last paragraph. They were expecting a
:14:08. > :14:11.surge at the end of The Great British Bake Off, but it did not
:14:12. > :14:15.come, because the next programme had ten baby pandas on the screen, so
:14:16. > :14:20.people carried on watching. Baby pandas have featured a lot! We will
:14:21. > :14:28.leave it there for now. We have another one at 1130 PM.
:14:29. > :14:32.Stay with us here on BBC News. We will have more on the Prime
:14:33. > :14:36.Minister's timetable for leaving the EU at 11pm, as set out at the
:14:37. > :14:38.Conservative Party conference in Birmingham earlier today.
:14:39. > :14:44.Next, Meet The Author.
