:00:13. > :00:15.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:16. > :00:19.With me are Matthew Syed, who's a columnist for the Times,

:00:20. > :00:20.and Charlie Wells, who's European Features Reporter

:00:21. > :00:30.The Financial Times says Germany is stepping up attempts to lure

:00:31. > :00:35.The Metro lampoons the Home Secretary,

:00:36. > :00:38.calling her Amber Rudderless, after she ditches plans

:00:39. > :00:41.to make companies list their foreign workers.

:00:42. > :00:44.The NHS is under attack by cyber criminals, says the i,

:00:45. > :00:50.with hackers demanding millions of pounds in ransom money.

:00:51. > :00:52.The Daily Telegraph leads on comments by the Housing Minister,

:00:53. > :00:54.who suggests grandparents should leave their homes

:00:55. > :00:57.to their grandchildren to help ease the housing crisis.

:00:58. > :01:00.The Guardian says the UK is planning to move immigration controls

:01:01. > :01:04.to the Republic of Ireland to avoid a "hard border" between north

:01:05. > :01:16.They born into Theresa May on the possible impact of tighter

:01:17. > :01:30.immigration controls. There is a surfeit of coverage on

:01:31. > :01:36.Donald Trump. This is the metro, top Republicans deserting Donald in

:01:37. > :01:41.their droves. How can they dump him at this stage? That is not the

:01:42. > :01:47.question I would ask, it is why have they not want him already, after

:01:48. > :01:51.those comments about Mexicans, that they are criminals and rapists,

:01:52. > :01:56.building a wall? Piece are disgusting things about disabled

:01:57. > :02:00.people, he is clearly misogynistic, and it is remarkable that John

:02:01. > :02:03.McCain had been with him to this point, the senators who are now

:02:04. > :02:07.jumping ship because they think that they may be tainted in their

:02:08. > :02:14.re-election campaigns by association. It is remarkable that

:02:15. > :02:18.this man, the number of things he said publicly, as opposed to this

:02:19. > :02:23.illicit conversation that he said privately, has not been sufficient.

:02:24. > :02:28.It was interesting, in your interview with Nigel Farage, whether

:02:29. > :02:31.the American public have already discounted this aspect of his

:02:32. > :02:36.personality, and if they are pre-committed to him, if they are

:02:37. > :02:41.going to change their vote or not. There is something special about

:02:42. > :02:46.this video, its comments, and how authentic it seems. There is this

:02:47. > :02:50.idea about how average people don't trust institutions that have been

:02:51. > :02:56.around for a long time, mainstream media, political parties, and this

:02:57. > :03:02.video almost looks like a Facebook video, it is shot in a bus, it seems

:03:03. > :03:07.like banter between two people, and that is why it is resonating so

:03:08. > :03:15.much. It is remarkable, when he is on the record, he says things that

:03:16. > :03:20.are outrageous and extremist. Because this was Private, I am not

:03:21. > :03:25.saying it is not disgusting, I would never endorse it, it is horrible,

:03:26. > :03:28.but it was a private conversation that was illicitly recorded, so for

:03:29. > :03:32.this to be the breaking point is odd, it should have happened a long

:03:33. > :03:38.time before. The Financial Times says the Republicans are in crisis

:03:39. > :03:41.as officials abandoned the campaign. Some senior figures in the party now

:03:42. > :03:46.say they want nothing to do with him. This is John McCain, Mitt

:03:47. > :03:52.Romney, the previous political candidates, George Bush says he will

:03:53. > :04:01.vote for Hillary Clinton. This article focuses on Congress and how

:04:02. > :04:06.a number of senators who are in tough re-elections are distancing

:04:07. > :04:10.themselves, and the party is trying to maintain control of the Senate

:04:11. > :04:15.and the house and moving away from Donald Trump. The Guardian says he

:04:16. > :04:19.hits out at Republican hypocrites. He says he still has a lot of

:04:20. > :04:26.support, he is critical of the leadership, and says they are

:04:27. > :04:32.self-righteous. He is so pugnacious. This is a time for contrition. One

:04:33. > :04:36.imagines that his tacticians have told him before going into the

:04:37. > :04:43.debate tonight, at 2am, I am thinking of staying up, it will be

:04:44. > :04:47.exciting. If he can sound contrite at the beginning, that will play

:04:48. > :04:51.well with the religious right, who he needs on side to a large extent,

:04:52. > :04:57.given he has alienate it so many other groups. Under pressure, it is

:04:58. > :05:01.difficult for him not to come out swinging, he is pugnacious. This

:05:02. > :05:08.tweet about self-righteous hypocrites, that is him in the raw.

:05:09. > :05:12.If he decides that he is going to come out and start talking about the

:05:13. > :05:18.allegations against ill Clinton, is that raising the bar in the way that

:05:19. > :05:22.will help him? In this story, we see the word hypocrites in the headline,

:05:23. > :05:28.he is calling the Clintons hypocrites. He has talked about the

:05:29. > :05:33.indiscretions, about Hillary Clinton enabling that behaviour, and a lot

:05:34. > :05:40.of commentators said he is a wounded animal, he could almost do anything.

:05:41. > :05:44.It will be interesting. He is under pressure, and when somebody like

:05:45. > :05:48.that is cornered, you can imagine fireworks, he will not be able to

:05:49. > :05:55.stick to the game plan. The format of the debate is unique, it is a

:05:56. > :05:58.town hall, you have to work the audience, you have to work the

:05:59. > :06:09.opponent, and the TV audience. That will add flocks. A picture of him

:06:10. > :06:13.with his daughter. Talking about comments that he is said to have

:06:14. > :06:21.made to his own, or about his own daughter. This is in a conversation

:06:22. > :06:26.with Howard Stern. Donald Trump has struggled with suburban voters in

:06:27. > :06:31.the United States. They are a key demographic. I don't think talking

:06:32. > :06:45.in this way about his daughter will bode well. Speechless, really,

:06:46. > :06:48.voluptuous and a piece of something. Tactically, I am interested in the

:06:49. > :06:52.psychology of performance, it will be interesting. There are big issues

:06:53. > :06:58.at stake, the future of the world, just that! But it is interesting,

:06:59. > :07:04.the psychology of these set piece debates, with the whole nation

:07:05. > :07:08.watching. The world watching. The pressure has intensified. It is

:07:09. > :07:14.highly volatile, what will happen tonight. Let's stay with the

:07:15. > :07:18.Telegraph, inheritance should skip a generation, says minister. The

:07:19. > :07:32.Minister says tensioners should forget their kids and hand there is

:07:33. > :07:37.date, there has savings,... It works if they change inheritance tax laws,

:07:38. > :07:44.does it? They would not even need to do it. The point is that adults were

:07:45. > :07:50.able to buy homes when they were less relatively expensive, and their

:07:51. > :07:53.parents as well, and so grandparents should skip a generation, so my

:07:54. > :07:59.parents would give their money to my children, rather than to me. I am on

:08:00. > :08:05.the ladder, I am lucky enough to be there. House prices have gone viral,

:08:06. > :08:08.especially with quantitative easing. They are talking about

:08:09. > :08:13.intergenerational injustice, it is a fair point, I just wonder if it is

:08:14. > :08:16.workable. Will people accept what a politician is telling them to do?

:08:17. > :08:20.Not everybody has wealthy grandparents. A lot of grandparents

:08:21. > :08:27.don't own their own homes, they don't have large savings. How

:08:28. > :08:35.controversial is inheritance tax in America? It is less controversial

:08:36. > :08:41.than it is 40%, and another thing here, this idea of time. Make

:08:42. > :08:45.investment and make time work for you, so the longer these

:08:46. > :08:51.grandparents are in the market, they will grow and it could be beneficial

:08:52. > :08:59.for their grandchildren. I want you as my financial adviser, I bought

:09:00. > :09:05.all of that! Don't trust me with more than a 20 quid note! Let's look

:09:06. > :09:11.at the Financial Times. Frankfurt steps up bid to win London banks

:09:12. > :09:16.after Brexit. Germany looking at the change in Labour laws. This has been

:09:17. > :09:24.on the cards, this is what the Remain camp said, London will not be

:09:25. > :09:28.as attractive. I am an expat, I love London, no evidence to Frankfurt, I

:09:29. > :09:34.would not want to go there. This article talks about stuff loving

:09:35. > :09:40.living in London and would favour Amsterdam or Paris over Frankfurt. I

:09:41. > :09:44.can see that. But this is big for the UK. It is such a big source of

:09:45. > :09:51.tax revenues for the Exchequer. It is interesting that German ministers

:09:52. > :09:54.have been meeting senior bankers, trying to change some of their

:09:55. > :09:59.implement laws to make it more attractive as a place for them to

:10:00. > :10:03.go. They could make the tax advantages... They could throw the

:10:04. > :10:08.kitchen sink at it but bankers will not want to live in Frankfurt. The

:10:09. > :10:12.city that will benefit is New York, potentially, they could do virtual

:10:13. > :10:17.trading through Europe. They have said that New York could be the big

:10:18. > :10:24.beneficiary. The big loser will be the British taxpayer. There was talk

:10:25. > :10:30.of trying to make London remain as an attractive place, the passport

:10:31. > :10:34.idea, so bankers could come and go even without freedom of movement

:10:35. > :10:39.across the EU. With globalisation, that could be possible, even if

:10:40. > :10:45.London does not remain part of the single market. But it means these

:10:46. > :10:49.things could be happening from New York as well. When trades are made

:10:50. > :10:56.in split seconds, it does not matter if there is an ocean in between. You

:10:57. > :11:03.can't go to Frankfurt! They are already dejected in Germany! The

:11:04. > :11:10.Guardian, the UK seeks to move border into Ireland. James Braid

:11:11. > :11:14.clincher hopeful on talks with Dublin two strengthen immigration

:11:15. > :11:19.controls. When we decided we wanted to leave the EU, that border between

:11:20. > :11:25.Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland became of great interest,

:11:26. > :11:33.because that is the land border between the EU and not. Which is why

:11:34. > :11:36.this idea of extending the border to the whole of Ireland has been

:11:37. > :11:41.approached. It is interesting, some technical details in this article.

:11:42. > :11:50.They have said that President already exist. It is NHS thing

:11:51. > :11:53.article, stop making me laugh! The Indian and Chinese visitors are

:11:54. > :11:59.subject to a system, they apply for a single Visa valid for Ireland and

:12:00. > :12:04.the UK. But that is because we are all in the EU at the moment. It

:12:05. > :12:07.would be different, and there is a point about the Good Friday

:12:08. > :12:11.Agreement, a volatile situation between Northern Ireland and the

:12:12. > :12:17.Republic of Ireland, and this risks putting that into play again. What

:12:18. > :12:22.is in it for Ireland to do this for Britain? It is a lot of work, I am

:12:23. > :12:29.not sure. There is a quote, new Calais. That is serious. The French

:12:30. > :12:34.have said, we don't want any more to do with this, and Britain has

:12:35. > :12:40.immigration offices on the other side of the Channel. France could

:12:41. > :12:45.easily say, no more, to that. This is highly sensitive politically. It

:12:46. > :12:48.will be interesting to see the extent to which the British and

:12:49. > :12:53.Irish governments can nail down a workable policy that makes the

:12:54. > :12:57.borders secure without triggering some of the political sensitivities

:12:58. > :13:00.that you mention. One benefit for Ireland, there is still movement

:13:01. > :13:07.between the Republic and Northern Ireland. Without everybody having to

:13:08. > :13:11.show passport. But part of the argument wanting to leave. We would

:13:12. > :13:16.take back control of our borders. I am not sure that will happen. It

:13:17. > :13:21.depends on the single market, for a start. What will it mean, will it be

:13:22. > :13:26.hard or soft? All of that is still up in the air. The Conservative

:13:27. > :13:30.Party have not got their ducks in a line, and there is a debate about

:13:31. > :13:35.whether MPs should have the power of veto over the precise mechanics of

:13:36. > :13:42.Brexit. How can Britain decide what it wants Brexit to look like? It is

:13:43. > :13:49.a negotiation. It might not start until March. We'll line at airports

:13:50. > :13:56.be longer? They are long enough already! They are very long!

:13:57. > :14:02.Particularly in Ireland, potentially. Let's finish with the

:14:03. > :14:09.Metro. A play on words. Rudderless Modi Home Secretary, Amber Road.

:14:10. > :14:14.Labour ridicule her after a U-turn on plans to make all firms list

:14:15. > :14:16.their foreign workers. This came up at the Conservative Party

:14:17. > :14:19.conference, so we could get an idea of whether British firms are

:14:20. > :14:25.employing home-grown talent or importing it. Theoretically, it is a

:14:26. > :14:31.good point, if there is a deficit of talent in a country, and firms feel

:14:32. > :14:36.they need to bring in foreign workers, it makes sense to develop

:14:37. > :14:42.skills for the workers of the new country, but the controversy would

:14:43. > :14:46.be naming and shaming, accusations of racism, people like me, who work

:14:47. > :14:51.at firms that are based in the UK, might have their names published as

:14:52. > :14:58.foreigners working in the UK. The optics of that are so prejudicial,

:14:59. > :15:03.it sounds so bigoted, and it is interesting they have ridden back

:15:04. > :15:06.from it. To interviews by Cabinet ministers, they said it would not be

:15:07. > :15:10.made public on it is just a consultation. Amber Road must be

:15:11. > :15:16.feeling very sensitive about this at the moment. The appalling on this,

:15:17. > :15:21.even though many in the establishment say it is a disgrace,

:15:22. > :15:27.an essay was written by Cameron's former adviser, going after Theresa

:15:28. > :15:32.May and Amber Road strongly, the polling is 6-4 in favour of a policy

:15:33. > :15:39.of naming and shaming, so there is a disconnect between the metropolitan

:15:40. > :15:45.elite and what people... There always is, about everything. The

:15:46. > :15:49.size of the gap is remarkable. They will no longer be the naming and

:15:50. > :15:53.shaming, but the data will still be collected, because the argument is

:15:54. > :15:56.you can then see where the skills gap is and train people in this

:15:57. > :16:04.country to fill it. How acceptable but that the? I agree that the

:16:05. > :16:09.skills issue is a massive issue for the British economy. But don't

:16:10. > :16:14.forget the significance of the public relations disaster that would

:16:15. > :16:17.unfold if Britain's reputation hitherto as a place that companies

:16:18. > :16:24.can come and do business that is globalised, and internationalist, is

:16:25. > :16:31.copper mines by a policy that is prejudicial to that. It is Sunday,

:16:32. > :16:33.we are back again at 11:30pm. If you would like to make a comment on

:16:34. > :16:53.Twitter, send us a comment. Coming up next, Meet The Author

:16:54. > :16:58.with James Naughtie.
