:00:07. > :00:15.That is all your sports are now. Now it is time for The Papers.
:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our review of the Sunday morning papers.
:00:19. > :00:20.With me are the journalist Yasmin Alibhai Brown
:00:21. > :00:23.and the Political Commentator James Millar.
:00:24. > :00:29.The Sunday Express leads with news of Theresa May's upcoming meeting
:00:30. > :00:33.The global protests against the new president makes
:00:34. > :00:38.The Mail on Sunday claims the Prime Minister is set to use her
:00:39. > :00:43.meeting with President Trump to tell him to stop insulting women.
:00:44. > :00:46.While the Sunday Telegraph says the president is planning a new deal
:00:47. > :00:49.with Britain to reduce trade barriers and reach
:00:50. > :00:55.The Sunday Times leads on a story that Downing Street covered up
:00:56. > :00:58.a nuclear weapons mishap which apparently led to a Trident
:00:59. > :01:00.missile veering off course during a test firing near Florida
:01:01. > :01:08.and heading towards the United States.
:01:09. > :01:15.So, let us get started. We will stop the Sunday express. Theresa May is
:01:16. > :01:20.my Maggie. The Prime Minister will be the first world leader to meet
:01:21. > :01:27.the president. The relationship is expected to be as close as Margaret
:01:28. > :01:33.Thatcher and Ronald Reagan. A lack of imagination. Theresa May and a
:01:34. > :01:37.right wing American president. It will be like Reagan and Maggie all
:01:38. > :01:41.over again. It really does suggest a lack of imagination. This is not
:01:42. > :01:48.Ronald Reagan and this is not Maggie. Clearly different people. I
:01:49. > :01:52.think I might end up missing Margaret Thatcher by the time this
:01:53. > :02:00.period is over. Honestly! That would be a first. Would be. Listening to
:02:01. > :02:05.Theresa May's speech I thought, my God, she is hard right in some ways,
:02:06. > :02:11.which Margaret Thatcher never dared to be quite that way. She wasn't so
:02:12. > :02:15.in your face. But one of the things in this story, it's all about
:02:16. > :02:20.wanting to go to the palace! He is like a little boy, isn't he. He
:02:21. > :02:26.wants a bigger party, a big reception. More than Obama had. This
:02:27. > :02:32.is where the Queen will do the nation's business and will welcome
:02:33. > :02:36.him, whether it is Buckingham Palace, golf at Saint Andrews or
:02:37. > :02:43.whatever. The Queen will fly the flag for Britain. She always does,
:02:44. > :02:47.which is nothing in a way. Publicly it will be very level and all the
:02:48. > :02:56.rest of it. The question is will the rest of them meet with him? Prince
:02:57. > :03:01.Charles is a champion of climate change. Donald Trump does not
:03:02. > :03:06.believe in it. It is off the White House agenda. No, he said it doesn't
:03:07. > :03:13.exist. It is not happening, you know? It is a plot by China. It will
:03:14. > :03:22.be an interesting meeting. Let us move on. I was struck by the Daily
:03:23. > :03:31.Mail headline. Cut out your sexist chat, Mr President. First of all, I
:03:32. > :03:35.don't know how much of it is too much imagination or wishful thinking
:03:36. > :03:43.or whatever, but I don't know if she can. If she does, good. But do you
:03:44. > :03:47.really think that the first meeting, and they will curtail to him because
:03:48. > :03:54.of this trade deal, that she is going to say that? I doubt it. I
:03:55. > :03:57.hope so. If you are a grown-up place with a bully who is offensive to
:03:58. > :04:02.women, she should walk into the room and so, please don't do that. Can I
:04:03. > :04:14.point out, he got half the women's Bob. That is why I am fascinated by
:04:15. > :04:20.the headline. The mail on Sunday is not a champion of women's rights,
:04:21. > :04:25.shall we say, as a title. But it does have a lot of women readers, so
:04:26. > :04:29.they clearly think the readers are offended by Trump's sexist insults.
:04:30. > :04:34.Whereas as you say, a lot of women in America when so offended that
:04:35. > :04:38.they couldn't bring themselves to vote for him. I'm intrigued by the
:04:39. > :04:43.fact that the Daily Mail thinks that the readers, if they work in
:04:44. > :04:49.America, would be Trump voters. That is very interesting. Also, the mail
:04:50. > :04:55.on Sunday is a very different paper from the Daily Mail. The mail on
:04:56. > :05:00.Sunday was four remain and the Daily Mail was for Brexit. Maybe they have
:05:01. > :05:06.a different place they are coming from. And I suppose we will hear
:05:07. > :05:13.this tired phrase about the special relationship, which every British
:05:14. > :05:20.diplomat who has worked in Washington can't stand. There is a
:05:21. > :05:25.special relationship. We have to be quite careful about how we use that
:05:26. > :05:33.phrase. But Theresa May will be the first foreign leader to meet him on
:05:34. > :05:37.Friday, we now know. It is a koo. Mr Farage will take the credit for it.
:05:38. > :05:41.I think the British ambassador in Washington might take the credit. He
:05:42. > :05:50.will get that within the diplomatic service. And Theresa May's team went
:05:51. > :05:55.over a few weeks ago. Beyond this, we have the Sunday Telegraph who
:05:56. > :06:01.have the substance of what we think might go on. Trump's new Deal for
:06:02. > :06:05.Britain. President's teamwork on deal, despite global protest. A deal
:06:06. > :06:11.to reduce barriers between British and American banks. A working group
:06:12. > :06:15.to identify barriers to trade and a joint statement on defence. But the
:06:16. > :06:21.context has got to beat America first, hasn't it? It is. That's a
:06:22. > :06:24.striking thing about his inauguration speech, that if any
:06:25. > :06:30.other nation thinks that he cares at all about anybody else, I don't know
:06:31. > :06:35.what they are thinking. And there is also this small problem that we are
:06:36. > :06:41.still in the EU, so we still can't go around signing agreements until
:06:42. > :06:45.we are out. Or even formally discuss agreements. It is against the rules,
:06:46. > :06:48.but honestly this man doesn't understand anything about
:06:49. > :06:57.international relations and how the whole world works. But a warm
:06:58. > :07:02.personal relationship, if that is what Theresa May can establish, is
:07:03. > :07:06.important? What we have seen over the last few days suggests Trump
:07:07. > :07:11.might be absolutely crazy. He is still a bit of a mystery. Is he
:07:12. > :07:15.crackers or is it a big plan to distract people with one thing
:07:16. > :07:22.whilst something else is going on? Theresa May, whatever you think of
:07:23. > :07:27.her politics, is a grown-up. She is a very serious person. To have a
:07:28. > :07:33.grown-up men him who has his ear and can possibly have some control over
:07:34. > :07:41.him... She is a woman. Him dancing with his wife. His wife seem to be
:07:42. > :07:48.curling away. So Theresa May, don't dance with him. He is not Ed Balls,
:07:49. > :07:53.in terms of the dancing! In so many ways he is not Ed Balls. I think
:07:54. > :07:56.another interesting point over the last few days is this sensitivity to
:07:57. > :08:03.things which other people might think are less interesting. Like the
:08:04. > :08:07.size of the inauguration crowds. We have seen the pictures, but we are
:08:08. > :08:12.now told that it was the most viewed inauguration in history. Maybe on
:08:13. > :08:17.TV, but the crowds look thinner. He hates it. He is a bully in
:08:18. > :08:21.everywhere, but if anyone criticises him what he thinks he has achieved,
:08:22. > :08:28.then there is this real anger that erupts out of him. They are not
:08:29. > :08:33.able, I mean they have controlled messages for long enough, but we may
:08:34. > :08:37.be entering a time when there is proper coverage of what this man is
:08:38. > :08:43.and people are less scared of his tweets and his bullying. But the
:08:44. > :08:48.White House press spokesman has made it clear that they will hold the
:08:49. > :08:54.media to account. This is what I mean about is it all part of a plan?
:08:55. > :08:59.Quite clearly the crowd was not as big as previous crowds. He said it
:09:00. > :09:04.was. Is it because he is mad, which is a worry because he has the
:09:05. > :09:10.nuclear codes, or does he want us to worry about the crowd was he is
:09:11. > :09:15.trashing Obamacare behind the scenes. He wants to control
:09:16. > :09:21.everything, including the story and that is what we now have ahead of
:09:22. > :09:30.us. It is a plan. So you're talking about the crowd instead of talking
:09:31. > :09:36.about Obamacare. No, talking up the crowd. That is crazy. There are
:09:37. > :09:44.millions of Americans who distrust the so-called mainstream media. They
:09:45. > :09:53.don't regard it as reflecting the views. They look at Donald Trump's
:09:54. > :09:59.tweets and think that it reflects their views. I have a problem with
:10:00. > :10:02.the term mainstream media. And we have two admit, the mainstream
:10:03. > :10:07.media, we hate each other because we are all competitive. Sometimes! It
:10:08. > :10:13.doesn't really matter in a way because the bottom line is, there
:10:14. > :10:16.were only so many people there at Trump's inauguration. It doesn't
:10:17. > :10:24.matter who is reporting it, it is a fact! In one breath he said what he
:10:25. > :10:29.said about Muslims when he was campaigning. And then the next day
:10:30. > :10:33.he got up and said, I like Muslims, they are good people. Some of my
:10:34. > :10:41.best friends... I think he even use that term. He said he didn't mock a
:10:42. > :10:57.reporter with disabilities. Yes you do, we saw it. The Observer talks
:10:58. > :11:03.about the protests. Does it change anything at all? It is important
:11:04. > :11:08.because if we are not going to let us get into the situation of a new
:11:09. > :11:14.kind of neofascism, one way or another, individually or as
:11:15. > :11:18.collectives, we have to resist or at least be cut because otherwise I
:11:19. > :11:23.don't know what is going to happen to be world. The whole world, not
:11:24. > :11:27.just the United States. Remember, this happened during the Iraq war.
:11:28. > :11:31.On one day the world came out. They could not stop the war, but nobody
:11:32. > :11:35.has ever forgotten that in one of the reasons Blair ended up when he
:11:36. > :11:40.did was because of that coming out against the war. So it is important.
:11:41. > :11:44.How do you see James? As one who was on the march in London yesterday, I
:11:45. > :11:51.don't know how much it achieves, but it does make you feel better being
:11:52. > :11:55.amongst like-minded people. I was struck by the number of men who were
:11:56. > :12:00.either on the tube on the sidelines of the module are saying exactly
:12:01. > :12:05.that in an aggressive way. Why are you doing this, it won't change
:12:06. > :12:08.anything, your ridiculous. I shouldn't be surprised by it, but I
:12:09. > :12:13.was. No, it's not going to change the fact Trump is president, but it
:12:14. > :12:17.sends out some sort of message, either to him to like-minded people
:12:18. > :12:32.that you not alone will stop that there is hope if the lee-macro. --
:12:33. > :12:38.that there is hope. But he is being skint. More people turned out for
:12:39. > :12:50.the protest marches than his inauguration. And that will really
:12:51. > :12:55.affect him. It's a strange story. They've reported on the American
:12:56. > :13:00.march and not the British one. At the top of the front page of the
:13:01. > :13:04.paper be leader line, this summarises absolutely clearly what
:13:05. > :13:09.many of us feel has happened. Let's move on to the Sunday Times. They
:13:10. > :13:22.have an exclusive. A really good story. House covered up Trident
:13:23. > :13:29.fiasco. -- number ten. There was no nuclear tipped on it, but it clearly
:13:30. > :13:34.malfunction. The head of all of this has said it is safer we know what we
:13:35. > :13:38.are doing, but we will never know if it happened and how it happens, I
:13:39. > :13:49.don't think. I think the contrast with the Observer, that is a story.
:13:50. > :13:53.It is exclusive. Some people will be reporting tomorrow and the next day
:13:54. > :14:01.because the Commons want to know what were wrong. The protest were
:14:02. > :14:06.reported on the story. I thought one of the most interesting stories was
:14:07. > :14:11.about 10% of people not owning a single book. Would you make of that?
:14:12. > :14:15.I believe it and I find it terribly depressing, especially as now
:14:16. > :14:25.libraries are closing down, you know? I just find it really sad that
:14:26. > :14:31.there are people, I know people, I have got some rich friends who have
:14:32. > :14:36.artificial books. They look like books? They look like leather bound
:14:37. > :14:41.books, but they are not, so that is where we are. I am suspicious of it.
:14:42. > :14:48.It might be fake news. It is a PR survey will stop if it is true, as
:14:49. > :14:52.you say, the worst thing is if people don't have books, you can't
:14:53. > :15:02.go around to the house and judge them on what they read. People have
:15:03. > :15:10.e-readers on the trainer. He has got an e-reader, what is he reading? Is
:15:11. > :15:17.it something dodgy? I'm talking to an American -- I remember talking to
:15:18. > :15:24.an American teacher and she said that they determine how well a child
:15:25. > :15:31.is going to do based on if there are books in the house. That is an
:15:32. > :15:36.important determinant. I helped a young child to read. She had a
:15:37. > :15:40.typical home life. The first time I gave her a book, she was six and she
:15:41. > :15:45.did not know which side to open. It was very sad. But she did learn and
:15:46. > :15:49.within three months she was reading fluently. It's just the opportunity.
:15:50. > :15:54.Does it matter that much these days with e-readers? You can read books
:15:55. > :16:02.online. Are we terribly old-fashioned? I am glad we are
:16:03. > :16:09.old-fashioned. I am in favour of newspapers as well, something you
:16:10. > :16:14.can pick up and read, but the kids are not necessarily reading, they
:16:15. > :16:21.are reading something else. I do think you can give a child be hungry
:16:22. > :16:28.Caterpillar on an e-reader. Most kids started with comics. There is
:16:29. > :16:38.only BB note left. Dandy went online a few years ago. I don't know is a
:16:39. > :16:45.simple answer. Not ideal for a pundit to say that. We will leave it
:16:46. > :16:50.there. That is it. And a reminder, we take a look at the front pages
:16:51. > :16:55.every evening, here on BBC News.
