Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
With me are Tim Collins, a former MP and Director | :00:20. | :00:28. | |
With me are Tim Collins, a former MP and director | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
of the Bell Pottinger communications agency, and Paul Johnson, | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
Tomorrow's front pages, starting with: | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
The Daily Express says new snow chaos is on the way. | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
It predicts Britain will be plunged into the deep freeze next week. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
The Metro also leads on the snowy conditions. | :00:45. | :00:46. | |
Its headline is "White Out - travel misery as snow sweeps Britain". | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
The Telegraph leads on Britain's role in the Trump dossier. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
It quotes an American source as saying the British government | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
gave permission to the FBI to speak to the former British spy | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
The Financial Times says that just one day after heavily fining | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
Volkswagen, the US government is turning its fire | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
The Daily Mirror leads on the NHS, and a photo of a boy | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
His case was referred to by Jeremy Corbyn yesterday. | :01:08. | :01:20. | |
The time gives a warning that any transitional Brexit arrangements | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
could leave Britain under the rule of European judges for years. -- the | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
time. The Daily Mail: Trump blames Britain | :01:31. | :01:41. | |
for sex storm. Russia's really unhappy with how this is panning | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
out. -- Kremlin blames Britain. Russia is delighted, particularly if | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
they can drive a wedge between the United States and the United | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
Kingdom. The trouble is of course, these are things where there are | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
some presidents. Back in 1992I remember there was a totally | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
inaccurate report that John Major's Government had helped the critics of | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
Bill Clinton, and that coloured and damaged the US and UK relationship. | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
I suspect Mr Trump will be hopefully being advised that Theresa May did | :02:22. | :02:24. | |
not authorise all this sort of stuff, but the last thing we need is | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
the sense that the UK was complicit in some way in trying to damage Mr | :02:30. | :02:37. | |
Trump. Same thing on the Telegraph. The British role is fascinating | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
here. The person who put the dossier together, he is ex-MI6 and the | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
Russians say, you are never XML -- ex-MI6. He left the service is about | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
seven years ago. He once said to a journalist, do you know who I am? | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
The journalist said, no, he said that is the way I like it. But | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
illusion has gone for ever! Eye-macro the suggestion here is | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
that he was hired to find information, and what he found was | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
so important, he thought, but that is what he passed it onto the FBI. | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
One of the things that to be honest honest doesn't seem to be right to | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
me is that Donald Trump has done something in his private life that | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
is so scandalous that he would be subject to blackmail by the Kremlin. | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
Have you ever found anything that Donald Trump has done that he is | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
ever embarrassed about? There are huge numbers of things much more | :03:36. | :03:37. | |
damaging than what is supposedly in this dossier, and he is totally | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
shameless. He cannot be blackmailed because he has no sense of shame. | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
This British element, with an MI6 officer, who has a track record, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
there is also the involvement of an ex-British ambassador to Moscow. You | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
can see that this is how the document got through the hands of | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
John McCain and into the FBI and onto the table of Barack Obama, | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
because of this credibility of the figures who are involved, and they | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
are British figures. I'm not saying about the contents of the dossier, | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
but is a different thing. But again, if you remember George W Bush ten | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
years ago made a statement to the US Congress relying on British | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
intelligence, -- allegations about people scurrying around trying to | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
get you -- nuclear capability in Africa, it turned out to be false. | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
We have to be careful but the relationship is not dented. And we | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
have to be careful about which figures we referred to, it is also | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
difficult to tell the moment. No doubt the most famous dossier since | :04:47. | :04:57. | |
2003's "Dodgy dossier". This is the" dirty dossier". The Daily Telegraph, | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
first snow, then floods. Stand-by for tidal surge. Parts of the East | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
coast, people are having to leave their homes. For most people this | :05:09. | :05:18. | |
winter's been pretty mild so far. Two we have this sequence of army on | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
stand-by, army on alert. But it's also been the first time I've seen | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
the phrase "Thunder snow". As in like thunderstorms but snow instead. | :05:30. | :05:34. | |
Although it's got the usual sort of reaction from north of Scotland etc | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
and the north of England, saying, gosh, call but snow? It is more like | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
mild sleep. We don't count it as snow until it is up to knees! -- | :05:47. | :05:55. | |
mild sleep. I am with Paul on this, I've lived in Cumbria. This is the | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
sort of stuff that the south-east appears unable to cope with, the | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
sort of stuff but the North of England and Scotland deal with all | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
the time, and it is actually winter. Why do we get shocked but January | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
and Fabry are called months and we get floods and snow? What is | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
important though is that some people will be worried about the hamster | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
like, and hope they will be able to cope. -- January and February. The | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
Guardian, Europe awaits as Theresa May commerce 's keynote speech on | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
Brexit. I wonder how much better informed they will be afterwards? | :06:33. | :06:42. | |
Theresa May has promised a speech next Tuesday on Brexit, so we will | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
get clarity perhaps. Perhaps we would go beyond "Brexit means Brexit | :06:47. | :06:54. | |
close quote. And we might even go beyond "Red, white and blue Brexit." | :06:55. | :07:06. | |
We might get Britain's position. But the other 27 members might save you | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
can think what you like, but it depends what we are prepared to give | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
you. But she has given some pretty strong indications already. If your | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
bid to insist on taking back control of your borders and not being | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
subject to the European court of justice, that means it cannot be in | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
the EU single market. I hope she will say we will bring back | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
democratic self-government, but we are still going to be European and | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
eat French cheese and eat at Italian restaurants. The reality is we will | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
still be Europeans. The important thing is the price of Mr Kipling | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
cakes and Marmite is going up! By now we were supposed to have the | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
global recession, world War three, house prices collapsing... Where we | :07:53. | :07:59. | |
will -- when were we going to have world War three? Prime Minister at | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
the time, who seemed oddly incapable of saying anything that was true. | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
And last week the chairman of HSBC said we are going to see a Jenga | :08:13. | :08:28. | |
type collapse of financial jobs. If Europe is silly enough to cut | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
themselves off from the only financial services sector on the | :08:33. | :08:34. | |
side of the Atlantic, it will do more damage to them than to us. | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
Which is why it won't. I'm not sure that is what I said, but thank you! | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
The daily Mirror. Picture of our little boy on the front page, "Five | :08:47. | :08:55. | |
hours in a knee without a bed". -- A This is a message from this | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
little boy's mother after her son had to wait many hours to see a | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
doctor even though it was suspected he had meningitis. I think this | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
illustrates something that is very stark, there is a real problem in | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
the NHS. Apparently there are proposals from a number of people on | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
a cross-party basis that there should be a cross-party analysis of | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
the NHS, because there is a fiction that is going around for a lot of | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
people on both sides of the political debate that somehow there | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
is plenty of money, the Tories said there is plenty of money because the | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
economy is so strong, the Labour Party say the Tories are too mean to | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
spend the money, but in reality there is not enough money to go | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
around. We need a fundamental look at the principles of the NHS on a | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
cross-party basis. However, that story is a victory for Jeremy | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
Corbyn. He raised this issue at Prime Minister's Question Time, and | :09:53. | :10:00. | |
he raised it. Simon Stevens have been saying this, yet he woke up to | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
headline saying that Number Ten was losing faith in him and he's had to | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
come out and be quite explicit about the amount of money, he says there | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
are financial pressures, and in 2018, 2019 we will have even less. | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
In a macro but there will never be enough for the NHS, its demand is | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
infinite. Two the Government will say we've given them all the money | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
they've asked for, but the NHS and others will say it is still not | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
enough. Don't taxpayers have to make a decision about whether they are | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
prepared to pay more tax specifically for the NHS if you | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
could ring-fenced it that way? We change the balance between the | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
generations. There are many perks for pensions that perhaps should be | :10:46. | :10:55. | |
saying. All we look at the option, can we really continue to afford to | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
have by far the largest overseas aid budget in the Western world? Maybe | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
we should look after our own first. We could talk about but a bit | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
longer. But we haven't got time. The Financial Times, M leads UK | :11:09. | :11:16. | |
retailers' strong season. A number of them doing very well over | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
Christmas. Some are doing very well. The food file has been well, the web | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
sales have been good, and some have held up very well. -- footfall. | :11:27. | :11:38. | |
Union-macro we haven't had Brexit yet... | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
It may be spending world because of the gloom that is over the horizon. | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
The grey dawn of an isolated UK! A self-governing country is always | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
good to be more prosperous, and we seem to be likely to be a more | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
prosperous in the very short term as well. How fabulous is that? Fab -- | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
finally, scientists hunt down the switch that turns mild-mannered mice | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
into killers. Your subject for the next two minutes is this. This is | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
all about lasers and what happens in the brain. But what we really need | :12:17. | :12:23. | |
to do is dashed back to tell a mild-mannered man into a killer is | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
to tell a garden editor that exit is working! -- Guardian editor. I'm not | :12:29. | :12:38. | |
sure what this technology is, but it's about moving your runs about. | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
But you can switch it on and off. -- moving your runs about. You can | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
encourage the mice to attack both animate objects and inanimate | :12:49. | :12:57. | |
objects -- moving neurons about. It's not obvious what the practical | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
use of this would be, but it's interesting nonetheless. The last | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
sentence, "The production of killer zombie mice is not on the agenda". | :13:09. | :13:18. | |
Thank heavens, we say! It does say there will be practical applications | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
such as treating neurological diseases. The Prime Minister was | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
talking earlier this week about mental health, if some chemical | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
solution could be found about it, that's got to be a good thing. Will | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
you both come back on and be on together? Yellow macro we would love | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
to. -- we would love to. The market and the other economic edit -- | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
indicators will be turning towards... Who will have the last | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
laugh? Will pick it up in a couple of weeks. You can see the front | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
pages of the papers online on the BBC website. | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
And if you miss the programme any evening you can watch it | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
Thank you Tim Collins and Paul Johnson, and goodbye. | :14:12. | :14:31. | |
It's a wintry night out there, some of us have seen snow, but | :14:32. | :14:32. |
