:00:00. > :00:00.at the University College London. The Japanese Prime Minister has said

:00:00. > :00:00.they are ready to deal with whatever they have to deal with. We will keep

:00:00. > :00:21.you updated. Time for the papers. Welcome to our look ahead to what

:00:22. > :00:29.the papers are bringing us tomorrow, we're joined by a correspondent from

:00:30. > :00:33.the London Evening Standard, and European features reporter at the

:00:34. > :00:36.Wall Street Journal. Before we hear they have to say about the papers

:00:37. > :00:41.that have a quick, brief look at what they are bringing us. The

:00:42. > :00:44.Financial Times leads on the prime Minster's speech at the CBI

:00:45. > :00:51.conference, telling business leaders she wants to avoid a cliff edge

:00:52. > :00:56.after Brexit. The Metro leads with the news that the number of

:00:57. > :01:03.polyester bags left on beaches have halved after shot. Giving them away

:01:04. > :01:09.for free. And the Guardian paper writes about a new NHS initiative

:01:10. > :01:13.that might require patients to bring our ID if they require medical

:01:14. > :01:17.treatment in hospital. And the times warns that Russia is deploying

:01:18. > :01:20.ballistic missiles to a small region bordering Poland and Lithuania, the

:01:21. > :01:29.paper claims it is in retaliation for Nato expansion. Let's begin with

:01:30. > :01:35.the Financial Times. A leap of faith as the FT described Theresa May

:01:36. > :01:39.hinting at a soft landing to avoid a Brexit cliff edge. The phrase has

:01:40. > :01:43.been used by a number of people now. She is trying to reassure the

:01:44. > :01:49.business world. There's no league, no jump. I hope that she is

:01:50. > :01:53.stretching tonight because she was doing some impressive verbal

:01:54. > :01:57.gymnastics today. Talking about this cliff edge, suggesting, or

:01:58. > :02:02.interpreting that they would perhaps be a transition period after article

:02:03. > :02:06.50 is triggered, which is confusing, she is backpedalling, and also

:02:07. > :02:11.talking about how employees and consumers may be represented on

:02:12. > :02:16.corporate boards, but it sort of an abstract way. She did a lots of

:02:17. > :02:19.backpedalling today. It is interesting because the original

:02:20. > :02:24.intention was for the Prime Minister to reassure the CBI after her

:02:25. > :02:27.anti-business rhetoric of the party conference, some of them were quite

:02:28. > :02:33.unnerved by that, so she went into reassure them, and she said to them

:02:34. > :02:36.there will not be a cliff edge, we understand you have concerns, and

:02:37. > :02:40.business was delighted with that, and then just a few hours later

:02:41. > :02:44.number ten was backpedalling and Downing Street, in the afternoon

:02:45. > :02:48.lobby briefing, saying, actually, that is not quite what she meant, we

:02:49. > :02:52.are not hinting at specific measures to avoid the cliff edge, they will

:02:53. > :02:58.not necessarily be a long, transitional deal, which Brexit MPs

:02:59. > :03:04.fear will become permanent, and that we will be out by 2019 and stick to

:03:05. > :03:09.the original timetable. So it is more a timeline we're talking about?

:03:10. > :03:11.Yes, and for a lot of people this will exemplify the fact that they

:03:12. > :03:17.are desperate to find out some detail on the timeline, and what

:03:18. > :03:20.crunch points are going to be in the negotiation. The Prime Minister said

:03:21. > :03:24.several times in her speech, and in her response to questions, that she

:03:25. > :03:28.would not give a running commentary, and I think people are actually

:03:29. > :03:32.beginning to ask for more meat on the bones. The problem is that that

:03:33. > :03:36.is exactly what it is, negotiations, so she cannot promise anything right

:03:37. > :03:39.now, because she does not know what she can promise. Yes, but business

:03:40. > :03:52.leaders do not make plans for two years, they make them for five, ten

:03:53. > :03:54.years. This was a missed opportunity for Theresa May who has not yet

:03:55. > :03:56.earned the trust of corporate leaders, they are still waiting for

:03:57. > :03:59.more information, and saying one thing then changing later on the

:04:00. > :04:01.day, it is no way to establish trust. That is probably why she

:04:02. > :04:04.doesn't want to get daily updates, because it will keep happening.

:04:05. > :04:07.Another story you have spotted, US banks face higher costs after eight

:04:08. > :04:12.it for tat Brussels row. Explain this to me. This is a response by

:04:13. > :04:20.the European Union to some rules which were brought in by Washington

:04:21. > :04:23.back in 2014, which the EU claim basically amounted to protectionism,

:04:24. > :04:27.and at the time they threatened to retaliate, and what it is is the

:04:28. > :04:32.banks are having to keep capital, they will be made to keep more

:04:33. > :04:37.capital in the EU, as collateral, if you like, for them fleeing at some

:04:38. > :04:40.point. And this is potentially going to hurt the City of London, one of

:04:41. > :04:44.the biggest financial centres in the world, because not only will these

:04:45. > :04:47.large foreign banks which are based here have to retain capital here,

:04:48. > :04:52.but they will also have to keep some in the EU, and that could make life

:04:53. > :04:56.difficult for them. This is a huge drag if you are a US bank. Because

:04:57. > :05:01.banks want to have their money out in the world, they want to use it to

:05:02. > :05:06.surprise surprise, make more money. What we are hearing is the EU

:05:07. > :05:11.saying, no, we want you to give a big pool of your money in the EU so

:05:12. > :05:16.that if there is some sort of a crisis, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs,

:05:17. > :05:20.you can cover yourselves. It is the most produced product in the world,

:05:21. > :05:27.the $1 note. Produced even more than coat hangers. We move the. This is

:05:28. > :05:31.worrying, if it stands up, that in their boots in a new threat to

:05:32. > :05:36.Europe, action challenging Nato, according to the Times, this is the

:05:37. > :05:40.area of a build-up of tension is, isn't it? Nato have had quite a

:05:41. > :05:43.presence there for some time. Yes, they have upped their troops and

:05:44. > :05:51.equipment to the eastern eastern edge of of its domain, and Russia is

:05:52. > :05:57.claiming that it is responding to that action by moving missiles into

:05:58. > :06:02.an area between Poland and Lithuania. So, right on the border.

:06:03. > :06:05.And it is worrying, it was going to make life uncomfortable for many

:06:06. > :06:10.European leaders... But it is not unexpected. It is not unexpected but

:06:11. > :06:13.in the current climate where we don't yet know what the new

:06:14. > :06:17.relationship will be between President-elect Donald Trump when he

:06:18. > :06:22.takes power in the White House, and the Kremlin, it is pretty unnerving,

:06:23. > :06:25.I think, for Europe, which is stuck in the middle, and the Nato

:06:26. > :06:29.Secretary General today said, well, this is entirely defensive and

:06:30. > :06:34.proportionate, we have absolutely no plans to expand, it is just about as

:06:35. > :06:39.protecting our own interests, and the defending them, but, what

:06:40. > :06:46.happens when President Trump takes over? This is almost like, is the

:06:47. > :06:51.Kremlin calling his bluff? Is it trying to test him to see if he will

:06:52. > :06:55.stand up to them or not? It is quite difficult and complicated and an

:06:56. > :06:58.uncomfortable interplay between the major superpowers, and Europe is

:06:59. > :07:02.kind of stuck in the middle. What we know about Donald Trump so far is

:07:03. > :07:06.that he is not a big fan of war but he is not a big fan of Nato either.

:07:07. > :07:14.It'll take time to figure out what he feels. One of the weirdest things

:07:15. > :07:16.about this story is that this news comes from an interview with the

:07:17. > :07:20.film-maker, Oliver Stone. That is where these quotes come from. OK,

:07:21. > :07:24.interesting. The Daily Mail, show your passport if you want hospital

:07:25. > :07:28.treatment. This goes back to an ongoing problem which has been

:07:29. > :07:33.highlighted for a long time now, particularly by the Daily Mail, it

:07:34. > :07:38.is to try to curb health tourism. Yes, this comes out of a Public

:07:39. > :07:41.Accounts Committee report, a meeting of MPs today, they had the permanent

:07:42. > :07:45.Secretary of the Department of Health in, and he suggested that

:07:46. > :07:48.from now on, if you are not a British national you will have to

:07:49. > :07:52.show your passport in order to get medical treatment. The idea being

:07:53. > :07:58.that they want to crack down on medical tourism. And according to

:07:59. > :08:03.recent government paid ?674 million to other European countries, just

:08:04. > :08:12.Europe, not the rest of the world, for treatment that the British

:08:13. > :08:14.received in those countries, but has only got ?50 million in return. Now,

:08:15. > :08:17.obviously hundreds of millions of pounds could be hugely beneficial to

:08:18. > :08:20.the NHS, but there are a couple of concerns, one is that it is against

:08:21. > :08:23.the culture of the NHS to turn people away, and then the government

:08:24. > :08:28.will have to be very careful to make sure that it is not for emergency

:08:29. > :08:31.treatment, and obviously Theresa May said at PMQ last month, when this

:08:32. > :08:37.came up regarding maternity care and a south London hospital that

:08:38. > :08:40.obviously for emergency treatment people will still be treated, but it

:08:41. > :08:44.will be interesting to see if this goes beyond operations, scans, test,

:08:45. > :08:47.what they decide to do then, will you need to turn up with your birth

:08:48. > :08:55.certificate and your passport and goodness knows what else? Well it is

:08:56. > :08:59.all going to change after Brexit anyway. This makes a great Daily

:09:00. > :09:03.Mail headline but my question is a reader is, is this a structural

:09:04. > :09:06.change? Or is it just a surface level change. Reminding people to

:09:07. > :09:11.bring a passport seems very surface level to me. The other issue is

:09:12. > :09:14.enforcement. Perhaps you will recruit more costs from foreign

:09:15. > :09:18.people receiving medical care but it costs a lot of money to enforce

:09:19. > :09:21.policies like this, what sort of computer setup do need to check the

:09:22. > :09:25.validity by passport, and all that... It is not in the bones of

:09:26. > :09:29.the NHS to turn away those who need treatment. It is not, and that is

:09:30. > :09:34.why my point about emergency care is crucial because people will be able

:09:35. > :09:38.to stomach people aboard bin charge for a test or a hip operation or

:09:39. > :09:42.something like that, but if they turn up about to give birth or

:09:43. > :09:46.something... It happens in America, which is very different, but it does

:09:47. > :09:53.happen in America. There are always always stories about that. Horrific

:09:54. > :09:56.stories. And it is happening here. Pita bread is an area with a high

:09:57. > :10:00.level of immigration and Saint Georges Hospital in tooting also,

:10:01. > :10:04.where there are maternity care pilots to make sure this is already

:10:05. > :10:07.in place, and certainly in Peterborough where it has been going

:10:08. > :10:10.on a bit longer, they cling to have been making savings, so we will need

:10:11. > :10:16.to see. We have only got two minutes left so can we do hyper fast

:10:17. > :10:24.broadband? The Daily Telegraph. Essentially the government is going

:10:25. > :10:28.to... Cracker! More high-speed and in it. But the government for me has

:10:29. > :10:31.a hard time picking winners and comes to technology. So investing ?2

:10:32. > :10:34.billion in high-speed broadband could be great day but what of

:10:35. > :10:38.technology changes and there's a better way to get Internet in the

:10:39. > :10:42.future? And is it reaching everyone who needs to reach? Some people

:10:43. > :10:46.don't even yet have broadband. Absolutely. What is interesting is

:10:47. > :10:50.that although most of the focus of this campaign is on rural England,

:10:51. > :11:03.Central London is a massive problem. London is 26 in the league of

:11:04. > :11:05.European capitals when it comes to superfast broadband. Partly because

:11:06. > :11:07.we have ageing buildings, it can be difficult to dig up, the

:11:08. > :11:10.infrastructure is very complicated, but they certainly need to do more.

:11:11. > :11:17.That was brilliant. Really fast. Metro. Halving our beach litter. A

:11:18. > :11:22.huge problem across the world. I have a plastic bag use, I admit it,

:11:23. > :11:30.I use them as trash bags, but I do pay the 5p charge. They make good

:11:31. > :11:34.poop bags if you have a dog as well. And it saves money. Or, not anymore,

:11:35. > :11:39.because you had to pay for them. But it proves it is working. Yes,

:11:40. > :11:43.beaches are cleaner, much better for marine wildlife, and if it continues

:11:44. > :11:47.hopefully other countries follow suit. Thank you both for taking us

:11:48. > :11:51.through tomorrow's papers and thank you for watching. All of the front

:11:52. > :11:53.pages are online on our website, where you can read a detailed review
