:00:00. > :00:17.from Sportsday. Coming up in a moment, The Papers.
:00:18. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:21. > :00:25.With me are Peter Spiegel, the UK news editor of the Financial Times
:00:26. > :00:30.and the broadcaster and campaigner Lynn Faulds Wood.
:00:31. > :00:41.Good to have you both. Let's look at some of the front pages.
:00:42. > :00:43.Peter's paper, the Financial Times, leads with Donald
:00:44. > :00:47.out of a free trade deal with Pacific Rim countries.
:00:48. > :00:49.The paper says he's signalling he will put protectionism
:00:50. > :00:52.The Telegraph says the new US President has vowed
:00:53. > :00:54.to make the special relationship between Britain and
:00:55. > :00:57.The 'i' concentrates on the political row
:00:58. > :01:00.following reports that a Trident missile test went wrong last year.
:01:01. > :01:08.It says the whole thing has descended into farce
:01:09. > :01:11.to discuss the matter in the Commons.
:01:12. > :01:13.The Metro quotes a White House Official who has
:01:14. > :01:16.apparently told CNN that the unarmed missile DID blow itself up off
:01:17. > :01:27.The Guardian also focuses on that missile yet looks ahead to
:01:28. > :01:30.tomorrow's Supreme Court judgment as to whether the government needs to
:01:31. > :01:32.consult MPs before invoking Article 50.
:01:33. > :01:34.And the Express goes it alone, hailing a revolutionary
:01:35. > :01:47.It is not ladies first tonight, its Americans first tonight. Peter,
:01:48. > :01:49.we'll start with you. Sorry! Trump's Pacific trade exit, putting
:01:50. > :01:56.protection at the heart of policy. If I may say so, your spin on it,
:01:57. > :02:05.he's putting America first. That's right. It's not just the specific
:02:06. > :02:10.trade deal, he announced today, he gathered a group of CEOs at the
:02:11. > :02:13.White House, the first official meeting of his presidency and says
:02:14. > :02:19.that if they move their plants overseas he will tax them. He said
:02:20. > :02:22.he would call the Mexican and Canadian Prime ministers and
:02:23. > :02:27.renegotiate Nafta. He has signalled that this is the most important
:02:28. > :02:31.thing he will do. Economic experts are worried about this. This is how
:02:32. > :02:36.the great depression happened, imposing tariffs up front. There's a
:02:37. > :02:43.lot of nervousness in this global system which has been established
:02:44. > :02:49.since World War II, being at risk and it is symbolic that he has made
:02:50. > :02:54.this his first action. Lynn, experts don't matter, do they! It's America
:02:55. > :03:01.first and he is the American president. This guide, if so clever,
:03:02. > :03:05.he can't put figures, he says it will be a major border tax and then
:03:06. > :03:13.says to these elite business people, almost all men, come on, let's get
:03:14. > :03:20.some women in, trump. Clever women. I don't see that happening... One of
:03:21. > :03:27.them, named Dale, he turned to him and said, Dale, you can build
:03:28. > :03:30.monstrous... I wouldn't to the American accent, you can do
:03:31. > :03:37.monstrance buildings, we will fast track you. Monstrous? What is this
:03:38. > :03:42.for a president to talk? It resonates with voters, simple
:03:43. > :03:44.language using small words, when you talk to political communicators in
:03:45. > :03:51.the US, they say he's quite effective at this. A lot of
:03:52. > :03:54.criticism comes from his own party which is interesting because it has
:03:55. > :04:01.advocated for free trade the generations. One thing that one
:04:02. > :04:06.previous Republican nominee for president said was, this is as much
:04:07. > :04:11.about geo- strategy as trade, getting our allies in Asia,
:04:12. > :04:15.Australia, New Zealand, against the Chinese. The argument is that he
:04:16. > :04:21.doesn't see that bigger picture, everything is transactional for him.
:04:22. > :04:29.It's all about him and his business. He will be filthy rich. One point
:04:30. > :04:33.that I agree with him on, one criticism I made, it's all about and
:04:34. > :04:37.save dangerous products and recourse, we have neglected
:04:38. > :04:42.business, I think because every single thing I seem to buy is made
:04:43. > :04:47.overseas, we don't have manufacturing any more so to that
:04:48. > :04:53.extent I agree with him. That's the point, Peter, I was in Los Angeles
:04:54. > :05:00.correspondent for the BBC in the 1990s, Nafta came in and jobs went.
:05:01. > :05:11.Nothing was done about the communities with their jobs went
:05:12. > :05:17.from. Like Scotland. There is a sense from his supporters that he is
:05:18. > :05:26.on their side. He talked about Pennsylvania, Ohio. States that he
:05:27. > :05:33.won because of these voters, working class white voters. Those who lost
:05:34. > :05:39.their manufacturing jobs since Nafta. There is no doubt that even
:05:40. > :05:43.people who are against Trump agreed that there are problems with local
:05:44. > :05:48.trade policy. It's the same type of voter in middle England who voted
:05:49. > :05:51.for Brexit, you see the same voters in France supporting Marine Le Pen.
:05:52. > :05:59.This is a problem they have not addressed. That's the problem with
:06:00. > :06:04.Scotland because the industry all went. Thank God for North Sea oil,
:06:05. > :06:09.some would say. Interesting that you say that the workers work up to the
:06:10. > :06:14.problems of globalisation. At Davos that did not look like it. Mainly
:06:15. > :06:23.blokes again having a nice time. Right! Staying with the FT. Looking
:06:24. > :06:31.forward to a pledge to nurture worlds leading industries. --
:06:32. > :06:35.lukewarm welcome. Jumping to the end of it, one woman, Director General
:06:36. > :06:40.of the CBI, Caroline Fairburn, said it was better than not to have an
:06:41. > :06:47.industrial strategy. It's been done by all sorts of problem, praising
:06:48. > :06:51.the industrial strategy, giving that industrial spending accounts for 43%
:06:52. > :06:57.of gross domestic product we need a plan on how to invest that money.
:06:58. > :07:03.This does not look like a new plan, it looks like a mishmash of old
:07:04. > :07:13.stuff. According to business sources, this has been hyped to the
:07:14. > :07:18.hilt. It basically was a warmed over announcement of things announced
:07:19. > :07:27.before. I think it was important to have that upfront, this is our
:07:28. > :07:31.response, to the same voter that we're talking about with Trump, this
:07:32. > :07:37.middle England voter, this response seems a bit empty. I think we had a
:07:38. > :07:42.caller on that. You compare it to Trump. Would he call it a discussion
:07:43. > :07:47.document? He would not come he would say, we are having this and then
:07:48. > :07:52.argue about it later. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Sometimes a
:07:53. > :07:59.good thing when you get a mealy-mouthed piece of stuff like
:08:00. > :08:07.this which is only on your front page, no one else's. Let's go to the
:08:08. > :08:15.Daily Telegraph. Trump promises closer ties with UK. They are making
:08:16. > :08:19.it clear that this bilateral relationship is going to be
:08:20. > :08:27.pre-eminent. But it's going to work. Your view? Interesting that they
:08:28. > :08:35.have invited Theresa May is the first foreign leader to come over.
:08:36. > :08:42.It is symbolic. The Brits are obsessed with this special
:08:43. > :08:46.relationship. We are deluding ourselves by thinking that we will
:08:47. > :08:51.be at the front of the queue, we have to years before Brexit happens,
:08:52. > :08:55.we're talking about specific trade deals, other things high on the
:08:56. > :09:03.agenda now when it comes to trade, suddenly turning round and asking
:09:04. > :09:08.what will happen, even two countries that like each other, these things
:09:09. > :09:14.take almost a decade. We saw it with Canada, this evil trade monster! I
:09:15. > :09:18.think we have a lot of nice words coming out of the White House today
:09:19. > :09:23.and Sean Spicer said nice things about the Prime Minister but...
:09:24. > :09:33.Lynn, how does that square with what you said earlier, I win, you lose,
:09:34. > :09:38.how will we get a great trade deal if he's looking out for American
:09:39. > :09:42.workers? If you look at the bottom line we've never had a great trade
:09:43. > :09:47.deal with the United States. We deal more with Scotland which is 5
:09:48. > :09:51.million people than we do with 300 million people in the USA. We talk
:09:52. > :10:00.about the special relationship, they never talk about it in the States,
:10:01. > :10:04.do they? Honestly. I would say, on trade and economics, No. I spent
:10:05. > :10:08.years in the Pentagon and frequently you would go in and see people in
:10:09. > :10:13.senior positions, and they would be British. So on military intelligence
:10:14. > :10:19.there is that special relationship. There is intelligence sharing
:10:20. > :10:35.between two countries that no other two countries share. Liverpool we
:10:36. > :10:40.all speak English. About Michael Fallon he says he can't say anything
:10:41. > :10:52.but Americans are spilling the beans. I did actually watch this.
:10:53. > :10:56.Michael Fallon, is see a Sir, or a lord, I don't like titles I will
:10:57. > :10:59.call Michael. He was talking in the House of Commons today, and
:11:00. > :11:02.apparently not knowing that the Americans were spilling the beans
:11:03. > :11:06.because one backbencher stood up and said, do you know there's an
:11:07. > :11:10.American spilling the beans? Why were they not better briefed and
:11:11. > :11:17.also yesterday when you saw Theresa May when she was asked four times on
:11:18. > :11:21.the Andrew Marr show, that was a pathetic response for a minister who
:11:22. > :11:29.still enjoys some credibility from us. She's got to sharpen up act and
:11:30. > :11:39.get PR advisers. The Trident missile system is from the USA. The US Navy
:11:40. > :11:43.has two overs either testing because it was in Florida. I do have some
:11:44. > :11:47.sympathy that the government because first of all missile failures
:11:48. > :11:51.happen. This just happened to be very badly timed. The other thing
:11:52. > :11:56.is, if you are having a nuclear deterrent don't tell the world it
:11:57. > :12:06.doesn't work! I have some sympathy with the Prime Minister, you don't
:12:07. > :12:15.go public about this. I suppose the point is, for national security
:12:16. > :12:24.reasons... We don't fire these missiles often because they are very
:12:25. > :12:32.expensive. We have a huge investment in something, we are not even sure
:12:33. > :12:39.it works that way. Crash test dummies, the USA trips up Theresa
:12:40. > :12:43.May and Michael Fallon. The Metro is showing the other papers the way. We
:12:44. > :12:48.are running out of time so I think we will be going to, a very quick
:12:49. > :12:55.look at the Daily Express. Main must fast-track Brexit, a big decision
:12:56. > :12:59.from the Supreme Court tomorrow morning. This is one of the routes
:13:00. > :13:03.we expect the government to go down, if they lose, and the High Court
:13:04. > :13:08.says, you must go to parliament before you invoke the divorce close,
:13:09. > :13:13.they will put out a one sentence law, which says, we give the Prime
:13:14. > :13:16.Minister the right to trigger Article 50. That's basically what
:13:17. > :13:22.Tory backbenchers are suggesting. The Guardian has an interesting
:13:23. > :13:33.story which makes the point not very convincingly that legal advice says
:13:34. > :13:40.you cannot go that way. Not very well drafted legislation and we
:13:41. > :13:45.could end up with more. You need to go to a longer process than a one
:13:46. > :13:50.sentence piece of legislation. Now we will link two stories, Trident
:13:51. > :13:54.and another story that has been running throughout the day, problems
:13:55. > :14:00.potentially with browning your food a bit too much and the possibility
:14:01. > :14:07.that it might show signs of cancer in a test animal. This is the Matt
:14:08. > :14:12.cartoon. The latest submarine, armed with lethal overcooked roast
:14:13. > :14:22.potatoes. There is a real sense that the roast potatoes might work better
:14:23. > :14:27.than the rest. I think this is a terrible story, in a way. We've got
:14:28. > :14:32.to stop battling people with all the things that are bad for them because
:14:33. > :14:36.they just give up, smoking, drinking too much and being overweight. If
:14:37. > :14:42.you can crack those three things written would be much happier.
:14:43. > :14:49.Peter, you weren't brown your toast too much tomorrow? I've stopped.
:14:50. > :14:55.It's got to be gold. Thank you both for joining us for a look at Fleet
:14:56. > :15:00.Street's finest work. That's it for the papers, many thanks to our
:15:01. > :15:01.guests, Peter and Lynn. Much more coming up. Now it's time for the
:15:02. > :15:05.weather.
