:00:00. > :00:00.The regulator Ofgem says it will step in to find a new supplier

:00:00. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:20.With me are the Political Commentator, James Millar

:00:21. > :00:21.and Dawn-Maria France, who's Editor-in-Chief of

:00:22. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with:

:00:29. > :00:30.The Telegraph says Theresa May will announce a crackdown

:00:31. > :00:33.on executive pay this week - an approach previously advocated

:00:34. > :00:37.The Sunday Times leads with the death of Fidel Castro -

:00:38. > :00:39.describing him as scourge of the West.

:00:40. > :00:43.The Observer also puts Fidel Castro on the front page -

:00:44. > :00:46.and also claims elderly care is close to collapsing as council

:00:47. > :00:51.The Mail claims police were warned by their own expert that allegations

:00:52. > :00:54.of child abuse against the former Prime Minister Ted Heath

:00:55. > :01:00.with another alleged abuse victim of the convicted paedophile Barry

:01:01. > :01:16.We start with Fidel Castro. The day began with a lot of news bulletins.

:01:17. > :01:20.Sunday Times call him scourge of the West and says he died at 90.

:01:21. > :01:27.Difficult for some people to know how to pay tribute to him. On the

:01:28. > :01:33.face of this this is great because he was a complicated character, a

:01:34. > :01:37.divisive character. This story on the Sunday Times they have Jeremy

:01:38. > :01:41.Corbyn hailing him as a hit massive figure in the history of the planet,

:01:42. > :01:47.perhaps overplaying it, and Donald Trump calling him a brutal dictator.

:01:48. > :01:50.Both of which are true. It was a massive figure and a brutal

:01:51. > :01:56.dictator. There are many quotes and they are all true but they do not

:01:57. > :02:00.agree with each other because he was, you know, a revolutionary and a

:02:01. > :02:12.hero to many and a monster to others. You think it would be easy

:02:13. > :02:19.but disappointingly Sunday Times has turned to Twitter to find out the

:02:20. > :02:24.reaction. Let's look at the Sunday Telegraph. They look at the other

:02:25. > :02:29.side of it. David Joyce says for the excise that fled Fidel Castro, this

:02:30. > :02:34.photo taken in Love and in Miami who is home to many people who fled the

:02:35. > :02:39.regime. There is no grief being expressed there. As you say,

:02:40. > :02:47.rightly, there were many Cuban exile to Miami. They are reported to have

:02:48. > :02:52.chanted Cuba is free and being quite jubilant at the death of Fidel

:02:53. > :02:58.Castro. And his brother who has been in charge since 2008, he has

:02:59. > :03:02.restored diplomatic ties but whether that will continue under Donald

:03:03. > :03:08.Trump not sure. We do need to watch this space. That's the other line

:03:09. > :03:13.that the Telegraph also picks up. Who will go to the funeral? Will

:03:14. > :03:19.Barack Obama go as America's representative. He has normalised

:03:20. > :03:26.relations to some extent but clearly there is a lot of history so he may

:03:27. > :03:30.not be all that popular as it goes. It would make sense if he did

:03:31. > :03:33.because he started to build a narrative with Cuba and this would

:03:34. > :03:40.cement that narrative. Yet, looking to the future. Go to the Telegraph.

:03:41. > :03:46.The other headline is that Mae carries on labour's business paid

:03:47. > :03:49.crackdown, getting tough on corporate greed. Soon after she

:03:50. > :03:53.became Prime Minister she began talking about the idea of giving

:03:54. > :03:58.workers more of a say in how companies are run, putting them on

:03:59. > :04:03.boards and that kind of thing. There was no appetite after the Philip

:04:04. > :04:10.Green and the collapse of his company, people were outraged with

:04:11. > :04:18.that. It looks as if she is using a labour platform. I'm intrigued by

:04:19. > :04:21.the fact that she is looking at giving shareholders the power to

:04:22. > :04:28.veto pay packages of business leaders in their annual meetings.

:04:29. > :04:33.And also making companies put staff representatives on pay scrutiny

:04:34. > :04:37.committees. That will play to the centre ground and that is what

:04:38. > :04:42.workers want to see. But whether it looks like that will be good for

:04:43. > :04:51.business is another matter. Business may not agree that at Miliband has

:04:52. > :04:56.been tweeting about these stop it is bizarre. As a story there is not

:04:57. > :04:59.much to it because it is just the green paper, she is not doing

:05:00. > :05:05.anything, certainly not carrying on the business of labour and a great

:05:06. > :05:09.bounds because they could not do it, they lost the election. But at

:05:10. > :05:13.Miliband could not get elected on this programme so, you know, was

:05:14. > :05:17.personality that was the problem rather than his policies? And now we

:05:18. > :05:21.have a Prime Minister who has not been elected as Prime Minister, she

:05:22. > :05:25.has not ever faced a general election as Prime Minister, bringing

:05:26. > :05:30.in policies that were rejected by electorate in 2015. It raises all

:05:31. > :05:35.sorts of interesting questions about the state of our democracy, really.

:05:36. > :05:39.It is not your average year. From another point of view, in the centre

:05:40. > :05:44.ground you need to win the voters who do not normally vote for you and

:05:45. > :05:47.this looks at the kind of policy that will do that because it seems

:05:48. > :05:56.like it is supporting worker. Another story about the Prime

:05:57. > :05:58.Minister in the Times saying that the Prime Minister says that

:05:59. > :06:04.thinking about Brexit keeps her awake at night. The call for

:06:05. > :06:09.business to return access to the single market for two years after

:06:10. > :06:15.Brexit, with the public voting to actually leave the EU and then that

:06:16. > :06:21.kind of thing staying with the single market, that is at odds with

:06:22. > :06:26.what the British people are saying because that will encourage freedom

:06:27. > :06:29.of movement and many people have come out against that because it

:06:30. > :06:33.affects, they feel it affects the community and if you look at what is

:06:34. > :06:39.happening in parts of Yorkshire, we have seen that in a lot of factories

:06:40. > :06:42.where there have been many EU workers and people have felt

:06:43. > :06:47.aggrieved because they feel it pushes down their wages. It is a

:06:48. > :06:51.difficult balancing act 's option is to appease those voted out and make

:06:52. > :06:58.sure they get a good deal. So it is still the question of whether it

:06:59. > :07:02.will be soft or hard. Yes, the referendum did not ask is if we

:07:03. > :07:07.wanted soft or hard. There is a sense that in Yorkshire, maybe,

:07:08. > :07:12.there are many mills there that relied on immigrant labour is back

:07:13. > :07:17.in the 50s and 60s. But when austerity, as we have seen over the

:07:18. > :07:21.years, and people hoping to apportion blame and scapegoat

:07:22. > :07:27.immigrants have been generations always been the target of that kind

:07:28. > :07:30.of narrative, really. A look at the mirror. The football abuse story

:07:31. > :07:39.which is widening. Here on the Sunday Mirror a new name this is

:07:40. > :07:47.Anthony Hughes who says that he also was a victim of the convicted

:07:48. > :07:51.paedophile coach Barry Bilal. He has waived his right to anonymity in

:07:52. > :07:57.this case as we have seen, been emboldened to come out and speak

:07:58. > :08:03.out. It is having an effect. It cannot be easy, inevitably, to come

:08:04. > :08:10.out and speak and the stories you are hearing are fairly unpleasant to

:08:11. > :08:14.say the least. But it is having an effect. More people are coming

:08:15. > :08:18.forward, this has now been opened up and hopefully more of the people who

:08:19. > :08:22.are to blame, not just those doing the abuse but those who could have

:08:23. > :08:26.stopped it will now be put in the spotlight. The Mail on Sunday is

:08:27. > :08:30.also saying that it was not just football but other sports where this

:08:31. > :08:34.was carrying on. The police operation is taking that into

:08:35. > :08:45.account. And also other football clubs beside Crewe Alexandra. The

:08:46. > :08:50.investigation broadens. I was intrigued because the accusations do

:08:51. > :08:58.not involve any current coaches. It has opened a narrative for people

:08:59. > :09:02.who have been abused to come forward. From that standpoint at

:09:03. > :09:06.least that is happening. Yes and that points to the fact that there

:09:07. > :09:11.are many more checks and balances in place these days. But it will also

:09:12. > :09:20.hopefully lead people to look at the checks and balances and make sure

:09:21. > :09:23.they are should be. To not be complacent and think certainly are

:09:24. > :09:29.better than they were back in the day. Let's return to the Telegraph.

:09:30. > :09:50.Make Farah should appear. -- make Nigel Farage Apia. --A peer. The

:09:51. > :09:59.Prime Minister failed to deny that things have been discussed. Nigel

:10:00. > :10:03.Farage has had a big impact on the country and on politics. If that is

:10:04. > :10:09.the vilifying standard then he deserves one if that is the

:10:10. > :10:13.standard. It would also be a reflection of the number of votes

:10:14. > :10:17.that Ukip got in the election last year. Across the country they did

:10:18. > :10:26.collect a lot of votes. What Paul Nottle is saying is that he says it

:10:27. > :10:31.is unfair and obscene to nominate a single Ukip politician to the House

:10:32. > :10:42.of Lords and he has promised to hold talks and write to trees may herself

:10:43. > :11:02.to demand a change. -- Theresa May. There appears -- are peers allowed

:11:03. > :11:06.defected in acid is Ukip. The Prime Minister has failed to deny that he

:11:07. > :11:10.is in the frame for it so I strongly suspect this will happen. That will

:11:11. > :11:17.be another divisive measure in what has been a divisive year because he

:11:18. > :11:24.is, well, here's a man having... Here's the thing. Paul is a nicer

:11:25. > :11:40.man than a Nigel Farage. The Sunday Times. Boss was told to

:11:41. > :11:42.bring back Christmas. This is the relatively new chairman of the

:11:43. > :11:46.Equality and Human Rights Commission. He thinks people have

:11:47. > :11:48.become a bit too overly sensitive about celebrating Christmas and

:11:49. > :11:56.mentioning religion at that time of year. To be honest, because he is in

:11:57. > :12:03.the new post I think it is about him creating headlines. I've never come

:12:04. > :12:10.across anybody having any issue. I think he is bowing out of proportion

:12:11. > :12:13.and maybe taking it too far. In the United States they do call it the

:12:14. > :12:18.holidays more than we do. But isn't that because they have Thanksgiving

:12:19. > :12:24.and it goes right through? There's a question about how much Christmas is

:12:25. > :12:27.about religion to a lot of people these days. And there's also an

:12:28. > :12:30.issue about talking about in November. Maybe that's what he's

:12:31. > :12:41.talking about, that we shouldn't talk about it in November. Then we

:12:42. > :12:45.are guilty as well. That's true. I take a while to get started,

:12:46. > :12:52.especially this year because I am behind. Thank you very much, both of

:12:53. > :12:57.you. Don't forget, all of the papers are online and you can watch a

:12:58. > :13:02.recording of this on iPlayer if you would like to see it again. Thank

:13:03. > :13:17.you very much for coming in and joining us tonight.
