21/01/2017 The Papers

Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

With me are Tony Evans, sport columnist at The London

Evening Standard, and Anne Ashworth, assistant editor at the Times.

Theresa May. Talking about her upcoming meeting with Donald Trump.

The protesters make the front page of the Observer. Theresa May will

tell Donald Trump do not insult women. And a new deal on Nato. And

Downing Street covering up nuclear weapon mishap. Apparently one went

off course during a misfiring in Florida heading towards the United

States. That would test relations. The Telegraph. One of many papers

which are looking at the beginnings of the Donald Trump presidency and

what it might mean for us in particular. Donald Trump's new deal

for Britain. Getting down to business despite global protesting.

What might be in it for Britain? A new relationship under which Theresa

May becomes as Margaret Thatcher was to Ronald Reagan. A profound

transatlantic relationship. There will be a trade deal and an

agreement we will spend 2% of GDP on defence. And possibly something that

Theresa May could use as a very strong bargaining tool during the

Brexit negotiations. Security has cropped up in the run-up to this

week. Although if Britain was to leave the European Union, and we are

meant to be going, Theresa May has always said it was important for

security, along with Nato. Nato is crucial. Especially with the spectre

of Vladimir Putin and Russian Imperial ambitions in the east. The

problem is that Donald Trump has dismissed Nato on a number of

occasions. He believes America is under too much strain to provide

security for the world. Frankly, the way he is acting, he will not pay

it. What we have here is the special relationship. We always have special

relationships when it benefits Americans. It is only when it suits

America. Judging by what Donald Trump said yesterday in his

inaugural speech, this is rather hopeful that there is a new deal for

Britain. Because it is America first, and everyone else will come a

long way behind. According to the Sunday Telegraph, there will be a

state visit for Donald Trump in the summer. The Full Monty. All the pomp

and circumstance. Wouldn't you want to be a fly on the

wall when Prince Philip meets Donald Trump and Melania is probably

already planning the outfits. Another extraordinary thing in a

week that becomes more and more extraordinary. It will appeal to

Donald Trump's team. I can imagine a huge production. This is the sort of

thing he has dreamt about, being the central figure in this. What we have

to remember is something that Kissinger was writing about what he

expected Donald Trump to do. He said do not judge by what he said or did

on the campaign, it will be entirely different. He could bring a whole

new world order. We should expect surprises. Yeah, because he has got

Congress to deal with as well. The Mail on Sunday. Cut out your sexist

insults, Mr President. Theresa May will apparently tell him to not be

insulting to women. I wonder whether she will wear one of those pink hats

that we saw out in the demonstrations today. A specially

knitted one. Has been a call to arms for people to knit those pink "pussy

hats." So they were not made in China as I feared? It took me six

months to knit a dish cloth. Can you imagine Melania wearing one?

Margaret Thatcher would have given him a talking to. I do not believe

Theresa May would do that. Donald Trump apparently calls her "my

Maggie." A streetwalker in the Liverpool folksong. I would say

Theresa May would be able to take on Donald Trump, or The Donald,

whatever we want to call him, and tell him he cannot behave like this.

I feel he can do that. I do feel that will be remotely on the agenda

when he comes. We will be looking for America's scraps, if Brexit

happens, which I am sceptical about. What would you like? We will see.

Theresa May is not to be trifled with them is she? The Observer.

Hundreds of thousands of US women unite to defy trump. There they are

in those homeknit hats. Huge crowds, not just in America, but around the

world. It really started with women and minority rights. People are

meeting up for all sorts of reasons. People are collecting together who

just do not like Donald Trump and everything he stands for. It is men

and women. What will be most interesting is how the Donald Trump

administration decides to deal with this. Will they decide these are

merely affluent people who can afford to travel to Washington or

another capital and demonstrate and carry banners with sometimes quite

clever puns? Or will they think these are people they need to take

account of? I am sure the Donald Trump administration is saying how

true supporters could not afford to take a day off from a job if they

could afford one. The reality is this is important because people

voted for Donald Trump to legitimise this sexual predator. He downgrades

women. The worst thing about what Donald Trump said is that... He said

it was locker room talk. I have been around locker rooms from Sunday

league to the Super Bowl... That is not true, some groups of men get

together and it does get a bit ripe. That is different. He says when you

are a star you can do this. What it was was the bullying and predatory

instincts of someone rich and famous and fearless because of it. That is

what we have to confront. The most interesting thing is loads of women

voted for him knowing that. Finding that this tasteful but nonetheless

seen him as their saviour. They did because in America there is a

feeling of, a sort of, estrangement from the political process, that

means that people are willing to vote for almost anyone. What they

have done is they have this intellectual blankness that they can

put their own views on. He did really well among the evangelists.

This is the least religious man on the planet. He is a political

outsider. He is not a political outsider! He has no shame! He lives

in a gold room! He has not come up through the village. He is nothing

but a rich kid who inherited wealth and somehow appealed to people by

saying, look, I am an outsider. I tell you what, if he is an outsider,

I would like a look at his bank account. People want someone from

outside politics. Entered Jackson, a great populist, Donald Trump is in

that model. -- Andrew Jackson. The Sunday Times. Women diss The Donald.

We are puzzled by that. It is not a headline word. If protest of these

proportions is merely dissing, I am not sure. It is useful in a literal

sense. Shall we talk about something else for a minute? The Sunday Times

is also talking about the Number 10 missile fiasco. An extraordinary,

extraordinary story. Douzable thigh it, they tested out the missile

unarmed, and it veered off course towards America. -- To simplify it.

This was not mentioned when the Commons that to make its

extraordinary vote on the Trident programme. Whether it should be

renewed. Last summer, it was one of the first things Theresa May did in

office. I would think this is going to have a big fuss about it because

some MPs will say, hmm, I was unsure about Trident and an even more

unsure now. But let us emphasise it was unarmed. This HMS Vengeance, the

submarine, was returned to use after a four-year refit. When they did

this, obviously it did not work. It was the first time in 16 years it

fired a rocket. How are they meant to test them? You would expect more

than that. Will Trident work well? Is it an effective deterrent? It

looked at it isn't. Downing Street and the MOD have issued a statement.

The effectiveness of the trident missile is unquestionable. They said

it was a routine unarmed test launch from the HMS Vengeance to certify

the submarine and its crew. It was successfully tested. Decertification

went ahead. So the HMS Vengeance can return to service. They say they

have confidence in the nuclear deterrent. A couple of minutes left.

The Telegraph. I will do it. Don't fret. He is pleased. Were are we?

Paul Nuttall. Why UKIP could win over betrayed voters? This is Paul

Nuttall, the new leader of UKIP, who will sit in this by-election in

Stoke-on-Trent. A big by-election for Labour. Labour have conceded the

political ground to UKIP for years. They will not address the

fundamental problem in this country, racism and xenophobia. They do not

want to alienate their own voters by saying this is what you are voting

for. Now it is clear and upfront. If Stoke-on-Trent votes for Paul

Nuttall, they are voting for racism and xenophobia. That is very, very

simplistic and an offensive narrative. I do not think it is

simplistic or offensive, it is reality. Couldn't it be that people

want something different and somebody they have not seen before?

They are sick of the status quo and they want someone who will stand up

for their rights? This is part of the country devoted to leave the EU.

They may want somebody entirely different to a patrician. It would

be very, very embarrassing for Paul Nuttall if he does not win this seat

because he will immediately be seen as weak in his position. But we are

in... There is this massive mood that we want politicians who are not

politicians. We do not want a professional in the job. Well, do

you know what, this is where Labour have an opportunity, they are

talking about austerity. Why you are struggling is because of austerity.

The reason that foreigners is taking jobs is because the safeguards for

Labour have been destroyed over the years and we will fight back. Thank

you. You can go on line to see more. We repeat the actual review on

iPlayer if you want it. Lovely to see you both. I cannot think of

where I would rather spend my Saturday, can you? Coming up next,

it is the film review. Goodbye for now.
