next it is the Papers. From all of us that is it at from the sports

:00:00.3:59:59

centre, good night. Welcome to our look ahead to the

:00:00.:00:27.

Paperers. Good evening to you both. Tomorrow's

:00:28.:00:32.

front pages starting with the i, leading with the MP who moved

:00:33.:00:37.

colleagues to tears after reveals in the House of Commons she was raped

:00:38.:00:43.

as a teenager. And the Metro reports on the human rights lawyer, who

:00:44.:00:59.

could be struck off. And the Daily Telegraph: Saudi row widens Boris

:01:00.:01:04.

rift with May. And the Garde clan Allies rally to

:01:05.:01:13.

Johnson over gaffe. And the Daily Express: The Home

:01:14.:01:16.

Office is making plans to house record numbers of asylum seekers.

:01:17.:01:23.

And the Financial Times: Reporting on the European Central Bank

:01:24.:01:26.

decision to cut back on the amount of bonds it buys every month. So,

:01:27.:01:31.

let's begin. Let's start on the story that is led today, which is

:01:32.:01:36.

Boris Johnson's unguarded comments about Saudi Arabia and Iran, of

:01:37.:01:39.

course but especially Saudi, and this has widened the rift between

:01:40.:01:51.

Boris Johnson and Theresa May? It Harold McMillan says that in this

:01:52.:02:04.

case Boris could firmly be and it is very bad news when you are

:02:05.:02:19.

Britain's top diplomat. So, you are saying he has made a

:02:20.:02:36.

habit out of insulting foreigners, Dan, how is Boris viewed in the

:02:37.:02:43.

company states? There is a risk with the undiplomatic comments he could

:02:44.:02:49.

be considered a buffoon. But with Donald Trump coming into office

:02:50.:02:53.

soon, Boris Johnson may have found a comrade in arms. Boris says what is

:02:54.:03:00.

on his mind. He operates in the social media swaggering style. So I

:03:01.:03:06.

was thinking Boris could be a dress rehearsal for Trump but only on a

:03:07.:03:09.

smaller scale. Yes, I think that Boris Johnson may

:03:10.:03:13.

dispute that but anyway. But interesting, if you look at the

:03:14.:03:20.

coverage in your own paper, Randit of the row, the guardian is talking

:03:21.:03:23.

about whether or not bourgeois speaking the truth when it came to

:03:24.:03:31.

Saudi Arabia? That may be the case. In private, that these are views he

:03:32.:03:35.

conveyed to the leadership of Iran and Saudi Arabia but the problem is

:03:36.:03:40.

you don't say it in public. To convince someone of the merit of

:03:41.:03:45.

your case as a diplomat you do it outside of the media limelight. You

:03:46.:03:49.

don't seek the spotlight for this stuff but Boris can't help himself.

:03:50.:03:55.

He wants to generate a headline. He is so used to doing it, he forgets,

:03:56.:04:00.

what job he is supposed to play. This is difficult for somebody

:04:01.:04:04.

leading us through the Brexit negotiations if you go around

:04:05.:04:07.

insulting people and telling them you can have your cake and eat it,

:04:08.:04:12.

it does not go down well with the opposite half when you are

:04:13.:04:18.

negotiating with them. He has breached diplomatic protocol

:04:19.:04:22.

but I cannot stop thinking of Donald Trump who recently went off script

:04:23.:04:27.

and had a call with the leader of Taiwan, even though that went

:04:28.:04:30.

against the American foreign policy with China. It is the similar

:04:31.:04:35.

dynamic of going off script, saying what is on your mind and not

:04:36.:04:39.

thinking of the consequence, perhaps not caring.

:04:40.:04:44.

And the Garde said: That some are convinced there is a campaign to

:04:45.:04:48.

undermine him as the Foreign Secretary from remain supporters and

:04:49.:04:52.

EU politicians but these are words he has said himself? People in his

:04:53.:04:58.

own party have been poking fun, the Prime Minister said she could put

:04:59.:05:03.

down Boris Johnson and compared him to a dog, Philip Hammond used a key

:05:04.:05:10.

economic speech to make fun of his attempt to gain leadership. So

:05:11.:05:16.

people have been making fun of him, some have been saying that you have

:05:17.:05:22.

to stop as he is being undermined on the stage abroad if you are

:05:23.:05:27.

ridiculing him at home. He's not the top dog! His brass has

:05:28.:05:39.

told him you are not representing their view, then they are not

:05:40.:05:43.

working for me, then he is in trouble.

:05:44.:05:47.

Dan, the New York Time, the executives keep their ears to Trump,

:05:48.:05:52.

this is about him tweeting repeatedly about wanting to keep

:05:53.:05:56.

large companies in the US and keep the jobs there? With the election of

:05:57.:06:03.

Donald Trump we have an unprecedented case of an

:06:04.:06:07.

entrepreneur becoming President. Many in the business world hope he

:06:08.:06:13.

would be pro-business. He has gone on Twitter to dress down Boeing 777,

:06:14.:06:18.

the producer of Air Force one, saying it is costing too much. He is

:06:19.:06:23.

threatening to cancel the order. He recently did a deal with Carrier to

:06:24.:06:28.

prevent them from moving factories with Mexico. He is turning out to be

:06:29.:06:36.

quite drastic, so much so that Palin dressed him down for not addressing

:06:37.:06:43.

conservative policies, it remains to be seen if he retains the line, how

:06:44.:06:49.

the business community in the states and around the world will react.

:06:50.:06:58.

About it is said here that CEOa are thinking hard about the consequences

:06:59.:07:03.

of moving abroad? This is a problem. There are people on the campaign

:07:04.:07:10.

trail who have nursed grudges and avenged opponents. But democracy is

:07:11.:07:14.

won on trust and dictatorships run on fear. This bullying practice, it

:07:15.:07:19.

doesn't sit well with people. The whole point of democracy is that you

:07:20.:07:26.

can vote these people in, you expect to administer neutrally but if you

:07:27.:07:29.

don't like them, you can kick them out. What is to stop this man

:07:30.:07:41.

continuing to intimidate them when no-one rebuffs them? And he tweets

:07:42.:07:49.

and no-one knows what he is really thinking. It is hard for us to

:07:50.:07:55.

realise what some of these tweets can mean.

:07:56.:07:59.

I think it is a dangerous phenomenon Yom. We should watch and worry.

:08:00.:08:08.

But if he is defending American jobs, it is a pop Lincolnshire

:08:09.:08:12.

thing? It is populist but it remains to be seen in economic terms if it

:08:13.:08:18.

will back fire, saving 1,000 jobs to make a difference in macro economic

:08:19.:08:22.

terms he would have to do this every two days.

:08:23.:08:24.

Absolutely. It is just the very start. Yes.

:08:25.:08:29.

Let's move on to the front page of the i. This is a troubling and a sad

:08:30.:08:36.

story. An MP, Michelle Thompson and a

:08:37.:08:40.

speech she made in the House of Commons, telling MPs she was raped

:08:41.:08:45.

as a 14-year-old girl. A very moving intervention that was.

:08:46.:08:53.

It is, it comes on this UN Day of the Elimination of Violence to

:08:54.:08:59.

Women. So people were speaking about their experiences, she was talking

:09:00.:09:03.

about a shocking crime perpetuated against her. There is a discernible

:09:04.:09:08.

trend in politics where MPs are standing up to talk about their

:09:09.:09:11.

personal experiences as it brings them closer to the public. So we

:09:12.:09:17.

have had the Labour MP who spoke about losing a baby movingly last

:09:18.:09:23.

few months ago, then Charles Walker, the Conservative MP talking about

:09:24.:09:26.

suffering from mental illness and to some extent it puts the politicians

:09:27.:09:30.

on the front foot in the terms that people relate to them and see them

:09:31.:09:35.

as ordinary people as there is the idea there is a disconnect between

:09:36.:09:41.

them and us but to do so over such a sensitive subject... It must have

:09:42.:09:46.

take an lot of courage. I was struck by the story in terms of an analogy,

:09:47.:09:57.

where Hillary Clinton had to maintain her decorum afterward ho a

:09:58.:10:03.

fee may politicians bearing her soul in the most visceral way Andres

:10:04.:10:07.

fating with many people hearing it. So maybe we are entering a new

:10:08.:10:14.

confessional age. Especially with women to show their real side and to

:10:15.:10:19.

be more honest. It remains to be seen that Theresa May, who has

:10:20.:10:24.

fashioned herself as a tough, Thatcher like Charles thatch --

:10:25.:10:40.

character, if she will show herself. It is hard for a female politicians

:10:41.:10:46.

to win in this situation. Let's move on to the front page of

:10:47.:10:54.

the Daily Mirror, looking again at George Osborne, the former

:10:55.:10:59.

Cheshiring, and his earning power now he has left government.

:11:00.:11:04.

It is a good story. George Osborne was born with a silver spoon in his

:11:05.:11:11.

mouth. He comes from a family of magnates, he can race money quickly.

:11:12.:11:16.

He was a young Chancellor that made a big impact but not for all the

:11:17.:11:21.

right reasons in many people's eyes. But it is interesting, talking about

:11:22.:11:25.

getting close to the public, George Osborne is part of the metropolitan

:11:26.:11:32.

elite, so called out of touch with ordinary Britons and the Mirror is

:11:33.:11:35.

highlighting the fact that his is continuing in the same direction.

:11:36.:11:40.

He has been given permission to do this, he is still an MP but he is

:11:41.:11:47.

entitled to? There is a debate about life after politics, Cameron, Blair,

:11:48.:11:54.

he has been discredited for his involvement in the private sector.

:11:55.:11:57.

Hillary Clinton for giving speeches to eat, and here with George

:11:58.:12:02.

Osborne, it begs the question, are politicians not allowed to make a

:12:03.:12:08.

living after they leaf office? And the front page of the Telegraph:

:12:09.:12:16.

Mick Jagger, father at 73. What do we think of that, gentlemen? I think

:12:17.:12:21.

it is great. How can you not be happy for a man who has had a child

:12:22.:12:24.

in his 70s. Mick everyone.

:12:25.:12:38.

Does it?! Thank you very much.
