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. | :00:00. | |
you updated. Time for the papers. Welcome to our look ahead to what | :00:00. | :00:21. | |
the papers are bringing us tomorrow, we're joined by a correspondent from | :00:22. | :00:29. | |
the London Evening Standard, and European features reporter at the | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Wall Street Journal. Before we hear they have to say about the papers | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
that have a quick, brief look at what they are bringing us. The | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Financial Times leads on the prime Minster's speech at the CBI | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
conference, telling business leaders she wants to avoid a cliff edge | :00:45. | :00:51. | |
after Brexit. The Metro leads with the news that the number of | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
polyester bags left on beaches have halved after shot. Giving them away | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
for free. And the Guardian paper writes about a new NHS initiative | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
that might require patients to bring our ID if they require medical | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
treatment in hospital. And the times warns that Russia is deploying | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
ballistic missiles to a small region bordering Poland and Lithuania, the | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
paper claims it is in retaliation for Nato expansion. Let's begin with | :01:21. | :01:29. | |
the Financial Times. A leap of faith as the FT described Theresa May | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
hinting at a soft landing to avoid a Brexit cliff edge. The phrase has | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
been used by a number of people now. She is trying to reassure the | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
business world. There's no league, no jump. I hope that she is | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
stretching tonight because she was doing some impressive verbal | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
gymnastics today. Talking about this cliff edge, suggesting, or | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
interpreting that they would perhaps be a transition period after article | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
50 is triggered, which is confusing, she is backpedalling, and also | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
talking about how employees and consumers may be represented on | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
corporate boards, but it sort of an abstract way. She did a lots of | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
backpedalling today. It is interesting because the original | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
intention was for the Prime Minister to reassure the CBI after her | :02:20. | :02:24. | |
anti-business rhetoric of the party conference, some of them were quite | :02:25. | :02:27. | |
unnerved by that, so she went into reassure them, and she said to them | :02:28. | :02:33. | |
there will not be a cliff edge, we understand you have concerns, and | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
business was delighted with that, and then just a few hours later | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
number ten was backpedalling and Downing Street, in the afternoon | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
lobby briefing, saying, actually, that is not quite what she meant, we | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
are not hinting at specific measures to avoid the cliff edge, they will | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
not necessarily be a long, transitional deal, which Brexit MPs | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
fear will become permanent, and that we will be out by 2019 and stick to | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
the original timetable. So it is more a timeline we're talking about? | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Yes, and for a lot of people this will exemplify the fact that they | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
are desperate to find out some detail on the timeline, and what | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
crunch points are going to be in the negotiation. The Prime Minister said | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
several times in her speech, and in her response to questions, that she | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
would not give a running commentary, and I think people are actually | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
beginning to ask for more meat on the bones. The problem is that that | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
is exactly what it is, negotiations, so she cannot promise anything right | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
now, because she does not know what she can promise. Yes, but business | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
leaders do not make plans for two years, they make them for five, ten | :03:40. | :03:52. | |
years. This was a missed opportunity for Theresa May who has not yet | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
earned the trust of corporate leaders, they are still waiting for | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
more information, and saying one thing then changing later on the | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
day, it is no way to establish trust. That is probably why she | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
doesn't want to get daily updates, because it will keep happening. | :04:02. | :04:04. | |
Another story you have spotted, US banks face higher costs after eight | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
it for tat Brussels row. Explain this to me. This is a response by | :04:08. | :04:12. | |
the European Union to some rules which were brought in by Washington | :04:13. | :04:20. | |
back in 2014, which the EU claim basically amounted to protectionism, | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
and at the time they threatened to retaliate, and what it is is the | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
banks are having to keep capital, they will be made to keep more | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
capital in the EU, as collateral, if you like, for them fleeing at some | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
point. And this is potentially going to hurt the City of London, one of | :04:38. | :04:40. | |
the biggest financial centres in the world, because not only will these | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
large foreign banks which are based here have to retain capital here, | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
but they will also have to keep some in the EU, and that could make life | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
difficult for them. This is a huge drag if you are a US bank. Because | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
banks want to have their money out in the world, they want to use it to | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
surprise surprise, make more money. What we are hearing is the EU | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
saying, no, we want you to give a big pool of your money in the EU so | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
that if there is some sort of a crisis, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs, | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
you can cover yourselves. It is the most produced product in the world, | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
the $1 note. Produced even more than coat hangers. We move the. This is | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
worrying, if it stands up, that in their boots in a new threat to | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
Europe, action challenging Nato, according to the Times, this is the | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
area of a build-up of tension is, isn't it? Nato have had quite a | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
presence there for some time. Yes, they have upped their troops and | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
equipment to the eastern eastern edge of of its domain, and Russia is | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
claiming that it is responding to that action by moving missiles into | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
an area between Poland and Lithuania. So, right on the border. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
And it is worrying, it was going to make life uncomfortable for many | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
European leaders... But it is not unexpected. It is not unexpected but | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
in the current climate where we don't yet know what the new | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
relationship will be between President-elect Donald Trump when he | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
takes power in the White House, and the Kremlin, it is pretty unnerving, | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
I think, for Europe, which is stuck in the middle, and the Nato | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
Secretary General today said, well, this is entirely defensive and | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
proportionate, we have absolutely no plans to expand, it is just about as | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
protecting our own interests, and the defending them, but, what | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
happens when President Trump takes over? This is almost like, is the | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
Kremlin calling his bluff? Is it trying to test him to see if he will | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
stand up to them or not? It is quite difficult and complicated and an | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
uncomfortable interplay between the major superpowers, and Europe is | :06:56. | :06:58. | |
kind of stuck in the middle. What we know about Donald Trump so far is | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
that he is not a big fan of war but he is not a big fan of Nato either. | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
It'll take time to figure out what he feels. One of the weirdest things | :07:07. | :07:14. | |
about this story is that this news comes from an interview with the | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
film-maker, Oliver Stone. That is where these quotes come from. OK, | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
interesting. The Daily Mail, show your passport if you want hospital | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
treatment. This goes back to an ongoing problem which has been | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
highlighted for a long time now, particularly by the Daily Mail, it | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
is to try to curb health tourism. Yes, this comes out of a Public | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
Accounts Committee report, a meeting of MPs today, they had the permanent | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
Secretary of the Department of Health in, and he suggested that | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
from now on, if you are not a British national you will have to | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
show your passport in order to get medical treatment. The idea being | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
that they want to crack down on medical tourism. And according to | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
recent government paid ?674 million to other European countries, just | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
Europe, not the rest of the world, for treatment that the British | :08:04. | :08:12. | |
received in those countries, but has only got ?50 million in return. Now, | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
obviously hundreds of millions of pounds could be hugely beneficial to | :08:15. | :08:17. | |
the NHS, but there are a couple of concerns, one is that it is against | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
the culture of the NHS to turn people away, and then the government | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
will have to be very careful to make sure that it is not for emergency | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
treatment, and obviously Theresa May said at PMQ last month, when this | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
came up regarding maternity care and a south London hospital that | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
obviously for emergency treatment people will still be treated, but it | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
will be interesting to see if this goes beyond operations, scans, test, | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
what they decide to do then, will you need to turn up with your birth | :08:45. | :08:47. | |
certificate and your passport and goodness knows what else? Well it is | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
all going to change after Brexit anyway. This makes a great Daily | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
Mail headline but my question is a reader is, is this a structural | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
change? Or is it just a surface level change. Reminding people to | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
bring a passport seems very surface level to me. The other issue is | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
enforcement. Perhaps you will recruit more costs from foreign | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
people receiving medical care but it costs a lot of money to enforce | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
policies like this, what sort of computer setup do need to check the | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
validity by passport, and all that... It is not in the bones of | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
the NHS to turn away those who need treatment. It is not, and that is | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
why my point about emergency care is crucial because people will be able | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
to stomach people aboard bin charge for a test or a hip operation or | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
something like that, but if they turn up about to give birth or | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
something... It happens in America, which is very different, but it does | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
happen in America. There are always always stories about that. Horrific | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
stories. And it is happening here. Pita bread is an area with a high | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
level of immigration and Saint Georges Hospital in tooting also, | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
where there are maternity care pilots to make sure this is already | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
in place, and certainly in Peterborough where it has been going | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
on a bit longer, they cling to have been making savings, so we will need | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
to see. We have only got two minutes left so can we do hyper fast | :10:11. | :10:16. | |
broadband? The Daily Telegraph. Essentially the government is going | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
to... Cracker! More high-speed and in it. But the government for me has | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
a hard time picking winners and comes to technology. So investing ?2 | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
billion in high-speed broadband could be great day but what of | :10:32. | :10:34. | |
technology changes and there's a better way to get Internet in the | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
future? And is it reaching everyone who needs to reach? Some people | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
don't even yet have broadband. Absolutely. What is interesting is | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
that although most of the focus of this campaign is on rural England, | :10:47. | :10:50. | |
Central London is a massive problem. London is 26 in the league of | :10:51. | :11:03. | |
European capitals when it comes to superfast broadband. Partly because | :11:04. | :11:05. | |
we have ageing buildings, it can be difficult to dig up, the | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
infrastructure is very complicated, but they certainly need to do more. | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
That was brilliant. Really fast. Metro. Halving our beach litter. A | :11:11. | :11:17. | |
huge problem across the world. I have a plastic bag use, I admit it, | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
I use them as trash bags, but I do pay the 5p charge. They make good | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
poop bags if you have a dog as well. And it saves money. Or, not anymore, | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
because you had to pay for them. But it proves it is working. Yes, | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
beaches are cleaner, much better for marine wildlife, and if it continues | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
hopefully other countries follow suit. Thank you both for taking us | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
through tomorrow's papers and thank you for watching. All of the front | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
pages are online on our website, where you can read a detailed review | :11:52. | :11:53. | |
of the papers, it is all there for you, seven days | :11:54. | :12:09. | |
per week, at the BBC website, and you can see is there also if you | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
want to watch again. With each night's edition of the papers posted | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
on the page shortly after we finish. Thank you both, from me, and the | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
team, good night. Hello, quiet weather, dry weather on the way for | :12:22. | :12:22. |
