:00:18. > :00:20.Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us
:00:21. > :00:34.tomorrow. I'm joined by Charlie Wells. The FT
:00:35. > :00:38.looks at the abrupt resignation of Britain's ambassador to the EU, Sir
:00:39. > :00:43.Ivan Rogers, and says tensions with number ten led to his departure. The
:00:44. > :00:47.Daily Telegraph also leads with that story, reporting that Theresa May
:00:48. > :00:51.plans to pick a Brexiteer to replace him, somebody who backs the Brexit
:00:52. > :00:55.calls wholeheartedly, it claims. More on that story on the front of
:00:56. > :01:01.the times. Downing Street has been caught on the hop by the
:01:02. > :01:07.has claimed that by lunchtime has claimed that by lunchtime
:01:08. > :01:11.tomorrow bosses at the top FTSE 100 companies will have earned as much
:01:12. > :01:16.as most people do in a year. A warning from the head of the NHS.
:01:17. > :01:24.Hospitals are apparently colluding with ambulance chasing lawyers. And
:01:25. > :01:27.the story of the Chelsea football fans who have been charged with
:01:28. > :01:32.racial abuse is on the front of the Guardian. A man has been prevented
:01:33. > :01:40.from buying his dream home because developers will not let him park his
:01:41. > :01:45.van outside, according to the Son. Financial Times, Tipper, London's
:01:46. > :01:52.frustrated envoy resigns weeks before deadline on Brexit clause. It
:01:53. > :01:59.resign, three months potentially resign, three months potentially
:02:00. > :02:01.before article 50 is triggered. What is increasingly apparent, or
:02:02. > :02:06.unavoidable, is that we are looking at the front pages of all of the
:02:07. > :02:14.papers today. Brexit is going to be the big story. Our EU ambassador,
:02:15. > :02:19.Sir Ivan Rogers, has quit. As you mention, it is just the four Theresa
:02:20. > :02:23.May triggers article 50. I suppose you could argue that he felt he was
:02:24. > :02:27.due to stand up in the autumn anyway, that he felt that it would
:02:28. > :02:31.be better for somebody else to take over before that point and to see
:02:32. > :02:37.through the negotiations from the very beginning. However, this has
:02:38. > :02:42.caught a lot of people, not just number ten, but across Whitehall on
:02:43. > :02:51.the hop. I suppose the problem is speaking truth. His job was to say
:02:52. > :02:55.some rather unpalatable realities, to share some unpalatable realities
:02:56. > :03:01.with number ten. Last month, after the Brussels summit in December, he
:03:02. > :03:04.was the leading diplomat that suggested it might take Britain ten
:03:05. > :03:09.years to negotiate a trade deal. And even then it might not be ratified
:03:10. > :03:11.by the parliament, which wasn't popular at the time. I
:03:12. > :03:15.point is, he is saying that he is point is, he is saying that he is
:03:16. > :03:21.getting the vibe, he would not have used those exact words, but he was
:03:22. > :03:27.getting the vibe from other EU countries that it was going to take
:03:28. > :03:32.a while. He wasn't saying he thinks, was he? That is the role of late
:03:33. > :03:37.diplomat, to convey messages from foreign countries back into the home
:03:38. > :03:44.country. -- of a diplomat. To explain as truly as possible what
:03:45. > :03:45.appears to be going on. We see this word of the FT, frustrated,
:03:46. > :03:50.frustrated by the fact that perhaps frustrated by the fact that perhaps
:03:51. > :03:56.he wasn't being listened to. Politicians in other countries
:03:57. > :03:59.communicate very differently. For instance, in Germany, France, people
:04:00. > :04:10.are much more direct. Politicians tend to do the same. OK, the Daily
:04:11. > :04:18.Telegraph, Brexiteer as our man in Brussels. So is the implication that
:04:19. > :04:23.Sir Ivan Rogers was too pro-European and as a result he somehow wasn't
:04:24. > :04:26.being aggressive enough in convincing the French that they
:04:27. > :04:33.should give us what we all want? That is certainly a suggestion. In
:04:34. > :04:37.that negotiation, when he was attempting to get a deal ahead of
:04:38. > :04:43.the Brexit referendum, that Sir Ivan Rogers wasn't... Was possibly too
:04:44. > :04:49.ready to take no for an answer, and very much a status quo man. And that
:04:50. > :04:50.he was maybe too entrenched in what was going on. The flip side is you
:04:51. > :04:56.need your man in Brussels to know need your man in Brussels to know
:04:57. > :04:57.serious, heavyweight diplomats who serious, heavyweight diplomats
:04:58. > :05:02.have in very recent times, have have in very recent times, have
:05:03. > :05:13.left, have stood back from advising the Prime Minister on the European
:05:14. > :05:17.Union. We have Kim Derek in Washington... These are all people
:05:18. > :05:18.who, probably now if you had to make a list of runners and riders to take
:05:19. > :05:25.over, would be on that list. If they over, would be on that list. If they
:05:26. > :05:35.could be persuaded to come back. Will anybody want that job? It'll be
:05:36. > :05:38.the toughest diplomatic position for some time for Britain. This person
:05:39. > :05:42.will take the blame if things go wrong and won't get the glory if
:05:43. > :05:47.things go right. Is that what is going on? I wouldn't want to be in
:05:48. > :05:52.that position. From a journalistic perspective. I took issue with this
:05:53. > :05:59.story. It seemed to be moving the story a bit too quickly. For my own
:06:00. > :06:03.methods, there are so many anonymous sources in high-level paragraphs.
:06:04. > :06:05.What are you suggesting? I'm sure What are you suggesting? I'm sure
:06:06. > :06:07.the Wall Street Journal wouldn't do this.
:06:08. > :06:14.CHUCKLES I take issue with it. It makes me
:06:15. > :06:20.think that such a strong headline needs some sources on the record.
:06:21. > :06:24.This would never happen in America. Different papers. It needs to be
:06:25. > :06:29.pointed out that the Daily Telegraph is a Brexit newspaper. There you go.
:06:30. > :06:41.We will stay with the Daily Telegraph. The FTSE closes on fourth
:06:42. > :06:46.consecutive high. I know the Dow Jones is heading towards 20,000,
:06:47. > :06:49.which would be a record, as well. Everything going swimmingly. People
:06:50. > :06:54.are calling it the Santa rally. But you must remember that the stock
:06:55. > :06:59.market tends to be very short term. In the short-term people are
:07:00. > :07:00.optimistic, it seems like in the UK manufacturing is on the rise, we are
:07:01. > :07:04.heading towards a high in the stock heading towards a high in the stock
:07:05. > :07:07.market which we haven't seen since the late 90s. But we know what
:07:08. > :07:12.happened after that, there were crashes. The other thing the article
:07:13. > :07:17.weak pound. For manufacturers, in weak pound. For manufacturers, in
:07:18. > :07:21.the short term that is a good thing because it means that you can export
:07:22. > :07:26.your products. The FTSE predominantly is exported. Exactly.
:07:27. > :07:30.But when you have to start making things in Britain and import goods,
:07:31. > :07:34.a weak pound makes that very expensive. In the longer term it
:07:35. > :07:36.more positive about the British more positive about the British
:07:37. > :07:43.economy. You sound like the outgoing Brussels man. Hard truths. Speaking
:07:44. > :07:44.truth to power. CHUCKLES
:07:45. > :07:50.And all of that money sloshing around the markets means... Fat cat
:07:51. > :07:56.Wednesday. I haven't heard this term before. You know there is a day, I
:07:57. > :07:59.think it is sometime in November where women start actually taking
:08:00. > :08:09.home the money they earn because of the gender pay gap. Really? The fact
:08:10. > :08:12.that we work for free because of the gender pay gap. This is an
:08:13. > :08:17.equivalent for executives and workers. It has only taken them four
:08:18. > :08:22.days because executives are paid so astonished the well and workers are
:08:23. > :08:26.paid so little in comparison, the gap is so huge. This analysis has
:08:27. > :08:31.worked out that chief executives of FTSE 100 firms are typically paid ?4
:08:32. > :08:39.million. They only need three and a half days to rake in the average
:08:40. > :08:44.salary of their staff of ?30,000. It is a massive gap. That is what is
:08:45. > :08:49.serious. If you are trying to create social equality, or reach that as an
:08:50. > :08:53.endgame, there has been talk about executive pay, things like that,
:08:54. > :08:58.shares, is that being watered down, it is all about how we will water it
:08:59. > :09:02.down. What is the government going to do about that? Theresa May's
:09:03. > :09:08.first Commons on the steps of Downing Street where that this would
:09:09. > :09:19.be a government for everybody, not just the haves. -- comments. The
:09:20. > :09:24.messages concrete. People find it hard to understand big numbers. This
:09:25. > :09:33.is a simple way to communicate this to the public. Learn in -- they earn
:09:34. > :09:46.in a few days would you earn in a year. Pretty simple. In the FT now.
:09:47. > :09:53.It seems like magic before Trump is in power. The question on a lot of
:09:54. > :09:56.economists' minds, is this sustainable? Can a person go company
:09:57. > :10:02.by company and encourage them to make fairly, you know, fairly small
:10:03. > :10:09.changes to the way they operate. We are talking about 700 jobs, $700
:10:10. > :10:13.million that Ford is going to invest in a domestic plan as opposed to
:10:14. > :10:19.investing in a plant in Texaco. Just to be clear, Trump said if this was
:10:20. > :10:26.going to happen it wouldn't be a good idea. -- in Mexico. He has been
:10:27. > :10:30.talking about this quite a bit on the campaign trail. And he had been
:10:31. > :10:33.talking about other car manufacturers, and that he would
:10:34. > :10:43.punish them. It has changed the rhetoric. The Ford CEO has made the
:10:44. > :10:46.change. And he mentions about other policies. The protectionist
:10:47. > :10:50.approach. And how that will filter down when it comes to the
:10:51. > :10:57.relationship with countries like China. They have been vocal about
:10:58. > :11:02.doing business. Interesting one to watch. And trade is not as simple as
:11:03. > :11:07.having one fact in one country and -- one factory in one country and
:11:08. > :11:11.sold to another. The same product might be designed and begun in the
:11:12. > :11:17.US, cross the border to Mexico, shipped to Canada, and sold in the
:11:18. > :11:25.US essentially. It is complicated. What is not complicated is the video
:11:26. > :11:35.that emerged of a few Chelsea fans, abusing a black man on the Metro in
:11:36. > :11:42.Paris, it was his home city. This took place in 2015 before a football
:11:43. > :11:45.game between Chelsea and Paris Saint Germain. These four Chelsea
:11:46. > :11:51.have finally been convicted. It is have finally been convicted. It is
:11:52. > :11:58.an awful attack. It is great that they have been convicted. Problem
:11:59. > :12:02.is, it sends a really bad message once again about British football
:12:03. > :12:05.fans abroad. We don't have the best reputation anyway. Incidents like
:12:06. > :12:10.this do nothing for our standing in other European countries. I think
:12:11. > :12:15.the Guardian is the only paper that has it on its front page. Does that
:12:16. > :12:19.surprise you, Charlie? People tend surprise you, Charlie? People tend
:12:20. > :12:25.to turn a blind eye to difficult issues. We are talking about this,
:12:26. > :12:30.unfortunately. What we see here is a French state prosecutor talking
:12:31. > :12:36.about this as a "Defining moment" because there is an increasing
:12:37. > :12:40.lots of countries. This is a lots of countries. This is a
:12:41. > :12:49.clear-cut example of what racism is. President is important in law. --
:12:50. > :12:57.precedence. The police are very conscious of it. NHS boss, kick out
:12:58. > :13:04.hospital blood suckers. He isn't talking about leeches, he is talking
:13:05. > :13:08.about lawyers, ambulance chasers. It is these no-win no fee companies.
:13:09. > :13:13.They are targeting inside hospitals. They are targeting inside hospitals.
:13:14. > :13:17.There are leaflets. Some have rented out space in hospital for ways to
:13:18. > :13:26.get the information to patients and to sue the NHS. Apparently it is
:13:27. > :13:36.?440 million per year, which would be better used in the NHS. We won't
:13:37. > :13:42.get onto the cultural aspects in the US. OK. Diet drinks, no healthier
:13:43. > :13:50.than sugary versions. We know that, that is why we drink sugary
:13:51. > :13:54.versions. Go full fat. Economists have found that people who consume
:13:55. > :13:58.diet drinks might end up eating more calories in food because they are
:13:59. > :14:03.telling themselves, OK, I haven't had a full calorie soda, why not
:14:04. > :14:08.have a doughnut? Go further full should in the first place. Exactly,
:14:09. > :14:15.just have the Mars bar. And you can get other types of chocolate bars,
:14:16. > :14:20.by the way. Thank you for having you both here to talk about the papers.
:14:21. > :14:31.You can read a detailed review of The Papers on the website. You can
:14:32. > :14:33.see us each night with every edition posted. Thank you for watching.
:14:34. > :14:35.Goodbye.
