:00:00. > :00:27.centre, good night. Welcome to our look ahead to the

:00:28. > :00:32.Paperers. Good evening to you both. Tomorrow's

:00:33. > :00:37.front pages starting with the i, leading with the MP who moved

:00:38. > :00:43.colleagues to tears after reveals in the House of Commons she was raped

:00:44. > :00:59.as a teenager. And the Metro reports on the human rights lawyer, who

:01:00. > :01:04.could be struck off. And the Daily Telegraph: Saudi row widens Boris

:01:05. > :01:13.rift with May. And the Garde clan Allies rally to

:01:14. > :01:16.Johnson over gaffe. And the Daily Express: The Home

:01:17. > :01:23.Office is making plans to house record numbers of asylum seekers.

:01:24. > :01:26.And the Financial Times: Reporting on the European Central Bank

:01:27. > :01:31.decision to cut back on the amount of bonds it buys every month. So,

:01:32. > :01:36.let's begin. Let's start on the story that is led today, which is

:01:37. > :01:39.Boris Johnson's unguarded comments about Saudi Arabia and Iran, of

:01:40. > :01:51.course but especially Saudi, and this has widened the rift between

:01:52. > :02:04.Boris Johnson and Theresa May? It Harold McMillan says that in this

:02:05. > :02:19.case Boris could firmly be and it is very bad news when you are

:02:20. > :02:36.Britain's top diplomat. So, you are saying he has made a

:02:37. > :02:43.habit out of insulting foreigners, Dan, how is Boris viewed in the

:02:44. > :02:49.company states? There is a risk with the undiplomatic comments he could

:02:50. > :02:53.be considered a buffoon. But with Donald Trump coming into office

:02:54. > :03:00.soon, Boris Johnson may have found a comrade in arms. Boris says what is

:03:01. > :03:06.on his mind. He operates in the social media swaggering style. So I

:03:07. > :03:09.was thinking Boris could be a dress rehearsal for Trump but only on a

:03:10. > :03:13.smaller scale. Yes, I think that Boris Johnson may

:03:14. > :03:20.dispute that but anyway. But interesting, if you look at the

:03:21. > :03:23.coverage in your own paper, Randit of the row, the guardian is talking

:03:24. > :03:31.about whether or not bourgeois speaking the truth when it came to

:03:32. > :03:35.Saudi Arabia? That may be the case. In private, that these are views he

:03:36. > :03:40.conveyed to the leadership of Iran and Saudi Arabia but the problem is

:03:41. > :03:45.you don't say it in public. To convince someone of the merit of

:03:46. > :03:49.your case as a diplomat you do it outside of the media limelight. You

:03:50. > :03:55.don't seek the spotlight for this stuff but Boris can't help himself.

:03:56. > :04:00.He wants to generate a headline. He is so used to doing it, he forgets,

:04:01. > :04:04.what job he is supposed to play. This is difficult for somebody

:04:05. > :04:07.leading us through the Brexit negotiations if you go around

:04:08. > :04:12.insulting people and telling them you can have your cake and eat it,

:04:13. > :04:18.it does not go down well with the opposite half when you are

:04:19. > :04:22.negotiating with them. He has breached diplomatic protocol

:04:23. > :04:27.but I cannot stop thinking of Donald Trump who recently went off script

:04:28. > :04:30.and had a call with the leader of Taiwan, even though that went

:04:31. > :04:35.against the American foreign policy with China. It is the similar

:04:36. > :04:39.dynamic of going off script, saying what is on your mind and not

:04:40. > :04:44.thinking of the consequence, perhaps not caring.

:04:45. > :04:48.And the Garde said: That some are convinced there is a campaign to

:04:49. > :04:52.undermine him as the Foreign Secretary from remain supporters and

:04:53. > :04:58.EU politicians but these are words he has said himself? People in his

:04:59. > :05:03.own party have been poking fun, the Prime Minister said she could put

:05:04. > :05:10.down Boris Johnson and compared him to a dog, Philip Hammond used a key

:05:11. > :05:16.economic speech to make fun of his attempt to gain leadership. So

:05:17. > :05:22.people have been making fun of him, some have been saying that you have

:05:23. > :05:27.to stop as he is being undermined on the stage abroad if you are

:05:28. > :05:39.ridiculing him at home. He's not the top dog! His brass has

:05:40. > :05:43.told him you are not representing their view, then they are not

:05:44. > :05:47.working for me, then he is in trouble.

:05:48. > :05:52.Dan, the New York Time, the executives keep their ears to Trump,

:05:53. > :05:56.this is about him tweeting repeatedly about wanting to keep

:05:57. > :06:03.large companies in the US and keep the jobs there? With the election of

:06:04. > :06:07.Donald Trump we have an unprecedented case of an

:06:08. > :06:13.entrepreneur becoming President. Many in the business world hope he

:06:14. > :06:18.would be pro-business. He has gone on Twitter to dress down Boeing 777,

:06:19. > :06:23.the producer of Air Force one, saying it is costing too much. He is

:06:24. > :06:28.threatening to cancel the order. He recently did a deal with Carrier to

:06:29. > :06:36.prevent them from moving factories with Mexico. He is turning out to be

:06:37. > :06:43.quite drastic, so much so that Palin dressed him down for not addressing

:06:44. > :06:49.conservative policies, it remains to be seen if he retains the line, how

:06:50. > :06:58.the business community in the states and around the world will react.

:06:59. > :07:03.About it is said here that CEOa are thinking hard about the consequences

:07:04. > :07:10.of moving abroad? This is a problem. There are people on the campaign

:07:11. > :07:14.trail who have nursed grudges and avenged opponents. But democracy is

:07:15. > :07:19.won on trust and dictatorships run on fear. This bullying practice, it

:07:20. > :07:26.doesn't sit well with people. The whole point of democracy is that you

:07:27. > :07:29.can vote these people in, you expect to administer neutrally but if you

:07:30. > :07:41.don't like them, you can kick them out. What is to stop this man

:07:42. > :07:49.continuing to intimidate them when no-one rebuffs them? And he tweets

:07:50. > :07:55.and no-one knows what he is really thinking. It is hard for us to

:07:56. > :07:59.realise what some of these tweets can mean.

:08:00. > :08:08.I think it is a dangerous phenomenon Yom. We should watch and worry.

:08:09. > :08:12.But if he is defending American jobs, it is a pop Lincolnshire

:08:13. > :08:18.thing? It is populist but it remains to be seen in economic terms if it

:08:19. > :08:22.will back fire, saving 1,000 jobs to make a difference in macro economic

:08:23. > :08:24.terms he would have to do this every two days.

:08:25. > :08:29.Absolutely. It is just the very start. Yes.

:08:30. > :08:36.Let's move on to the front page of the i. This is a troubling and a sad

:08:37. > :08:40.story. An MP, Michelle Thompson and a

:08:41. > :08:45.speech she made in the House of Commons, telling MPs she was raped

:08:46. > :08:53.as a 14-year-old girl. A very moving intervention that was.

:08:54. > :08:59.It is, it comes on this UN Day of the Elimination of Violence to

:09:00. > :09:03.Women. So people were speaking about their experiences, she was talking

:09:04. > :09:08.about a shocking crime perpetuated against her. There is a discernible

:09:09. > :09:11.trend in politics where MPs are standing up to talk about their

:09:12. > :09:17.personal experiences as it brings them closer to the public. So we

:09:18. > :09:23.have had the Labour MP who spoke about losing a baby movingly last

:09:24. > :09:26.few months ago, then Charles Walker, the Conservative MP talking about

:09:27. > :09:30.suffering from mental illness and to some extent it puts the politicians

:09:31. > :09:35.on the front foot in the terms that people relate to them and see them

:09:36. > :09:41.as ordinary people as there is the idea there is a disconnect between

:09:42. > :09:46.them and us but to do so over such a sensitive subject... It must have

:09:47. > :09:57.take an lot of courage. I was struck by the story in terms of an analogy,

:09:58. > :10:03.where Hillary Clinton had to maintain her decorum afterward ho a

:10:04. > :10:07.fee may politicians bearing her soul in the most visceral way Andres

:10:08. > :10:14.fating with many people hearing it. So maybe we are entering a new

:10:15. > :10:19.confessional age. Especially with women to show their real side and to

:10:20. > :10:24.be more honest. It remains to be seen that Theresa May, who has

:10:25. > :10:40.fashioned herself as a tough, Thatcher like Charles thatch --

:10:41. > :10:46.character, if she will show herself. It is hard for a female politicians

:10:47. > :10:54.to win in this situation. Let's move on to the front page of

:10:55. > :10:59.the Daily Mirror, looking again at George Osborne, the former

:11:00. > :11:04.Cheshiring, and his earning power now he has left government.

:11:05. > :11:11.It is a good story. George Osborne was born with a silver spoon in his

:11:12. > :11:16.mouth. He comes from a family of magnates, he can race money quickly.

:11:17. > :11:21.He was a young Chancellor that made a big impact but not for all the

:11:22. > :11:25.right reasons in many people's eyes. But it is interesting, talking about

:11:26. > :11:32.getting close to the public, George Osborne is part of the metropolitan

:11:33. > :11:35.elite, so called out of touch with ordinary Britons and the Mirror is

:11:36. > :11:40.highlighting the fact that his is continuing in the same direction.

:11:41. > :11:47.He has been given permission to do this, he is still an MP but he is

:11:48. > :11:54.entitled to? There is a debate about life after politics, Cameron, Blair,

:11:55. > :11:57.he has been discredited for his involvement in the private sector.

:11:58. > :12:02.Hillary Clinton for giving speeches to eat, and here with George

:12:03. > :12:08.Osborne, it begs the question, are politicians not allowed to make a

:12:09. > :12:16.living after they leaf office? And the front page of the Telegraph:

:12:17. > :12:21.Mick Jagger, father at 73. What do we think of that, gentlemen? I think

:12:22. > :12:24.it is great. How can you not be happy for a man who has had a child

:12:25. > :12:38.in his 70s. Mick everyone.

:12:39. > :12:59.Does it?! Thank you very much.
