:00:17. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:20. > :00:28.With me are journalist and broadcaster Aasmah Mir
:00:29. > :00:30.and Matt McAllester, Editor of Newsweek International.
:00:31. > :00:31.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...
:00:32. > :00:33.The Telegraph leads with comments by President Trump's
:00:34. > :00:35.senior trade adviser, who has accused Germany of using
:00:36. > :00:41.The paper also pictures Ken Clarke speaking during the Brexit
:00:42. > :00:58.UK faces return to inequality of Thatcher years is the Guardian
:00:59. > :01:01.headline. The squeeze is will hit the poor hardest.
:01:02. > :01:03.The Metro says rail operators have announced a big
:01:04. > :01:06.shake up in train fares - which they claim will see passengers
:01:07. > :01:07.always being offered the cheapest available price.
:01:08. > :01:14.The same story on the Times, which also features claims that thousands
:01:15. > :01:18.of newly qualified doctors are unprepared to do basic tasks.
:01:19. > :01:26.According to The Mail, health tourism is costing the NHS millions
:01:27. > :01:33.of pounds because of what it calls chaotic billing.
:01:34. > :01:38.Trump euro, attacking Germany over the euro now. He has trained his
:01:39. > :01:41.guns on the continent of Europe. Some people would say this is
:01:42. > :01:48.unprecedented because Donald Trump is very aggressively going for
:01:49. > :01:53.Brussels, now going for Berlin. On the other side, people would say
:01:54. > :01:58.he's doing what he said he would do, looking out for American interests.
:01:59. > :02:05.What his accusing Germany of doing here is profiting from a weak euro,
:02:06. > :02:10.and the flip side of that is that the dollar is underperforming hugely
:02:11. > :02:15.because of this. Donald Trump has to put his money where his mouth is,
:02:16. > :02:20.quite literally. So you can see this both ways. Very aggressive,
:02:21. > :02:24.unprecedented, never seen before policy of calling out people that
:02:25. > :02:30.until now have not been. On the other side you can see this is
:02:31. > :02:35.Donald Trump calling out people for manipulating currencies, which is I
:02:36. > :02:41.think what he is potentially saving to the detriment of the American
:02:42. > :02:46.economy. Is it manipulation or is Germany simply taking advantage of a
:02:47. > :02:51.weak euro? Which is a result of a host of things going on in the
:02:52. > :02:55.European Union? It is not just Germany according to President
:02:56. > :03:01.Trump, it is Japan and China. He's going round the world picking fights
:03:02. > :03:05.rapidly. There is a sense of potential retaliation here because
:03:06. > :03:12.yesterday Chancellor Angela Merkel sort of told him off, reminded him
:03:13. > :03:17.what the refugee Convention is. And so there is a sense within the first
:03:18. > :03:22.few days of this Administration of tit for tat. The question of whether
:03:23. > :03:27.there is manipulation or not is being lost in trouble against the
:03:28. > :03:32.world at this point. This will be hugely popular with his supporters,
:03:33. > :03:37.I'm stating the obvious here but we have to remember that. To 50%
:03:38. > :03:42.perhaps of the electorate or the world population, this is aggressive
:03:43. > :03:47.tit for tat, but to the other 50% he's doing what he said he would do.
:03:48. > :03:51.He said in that interview with Michael Gove, he suggested that you
:03:52. > :04:00.don't see many share these on the streets of Berlin. He's got a point,
:04:01. > :04:13.hasn't he? The response was make better cars! Which is fair enough, I
:04:14. > :04:18.suppose. The Guardian, Trump travel ban. Opposition to the travel ban
:04:19. > :04:24.grows, we know what Amber Rudd thinks of it. She is against it, and
:04:25. > :04:29.also we have one of the powerful, richest tech barons in the United
:04:30. > :04:35.States, the founder of Amazon who has put his weight behind it. For a
:04:36. > :04:38.while the tech companies were on the defence. Traditionally firmly
:04:39. > :04:43.and when Trump was elected they went and when Trump was elected they went
:04:44. > :04:47.to Trump Tower, met with him and realised that especially companies
:04:48. > :04:52.like Google who have contributed to individuals greatly as Democratic
:04:53. > :04:58.candidates they had to make friends with the new administration. That's
:04:59. > :05:03.lasted about five seconds and what happened was with this ban huge
:05:04. > :05:08.numbers... In Silicon Valley there basically no that doesn't have a
:05:09. > :05:13.relative or family member or a colleague or themselves if they came
:05:14. > :05:18.from another country so it is almost next essential threat to a key part
:05:19. > :05:25.of the American economy. They are fighting back. Isn't this just the
:05:26. > :05:27.liberal left again as far as Trump supporters are concerned? Getting
:05:28. > :05:35.hot and bothered about something that is not important. This travel
:05:36. > :05:44.ban makes sense to them. Yes, but what they have to consider is this
:05:45. > :05:49.is the new media, we are talking about media tech companies and if
:05:50. > :05:52.you are talking about affecting the workforce of these companies, that's
:05:53. > :05:57.something you could argue might impact the American economy as well
:05:58. > :06:02.so we have to put that aside and look at the bigger picture. Apple is
:06:03. > :06:11.the most profitable company in the United States so you -- would you
:06:12. > :06:20.want to hurt that engine of growth? As I say, as 48% of Americans
:06:21. > :06:35.support this economy, and the poll suggests they do, then this person
:06:36. > :06:40.is talking rubbish. Yes, he and Congress will make these decisions
:06:41. > :06:47.over the next four years. Hasn't he also made this point the travel ban
:06:48. > :06:53.is for 90 days, not a permanent thing so if Jeff Brazil is concerned
:06:54. > :06:57.he will not get some bright spark from Somalia or whatever, he seems
:06:58. > :07:05.to be sort of shouting about something that perhaps isn't going
:07:06. > :07:17.to be a problem. It's the sense of uncertainty. We see it is Germany
:07:18. > :07:24.today, what will it be tomorrow? It is hard to keep up actually. You
:07:25. > :07:30.were right to point out it is a temporary ban, if I'm able to use
:07:31. > :07:38.that word. You are not! You will get a tweet tonight at 4am. How dare
:07:39. > :07:43.you! He says they had to implement it quickly so the bad dudes didn't
:07:44. > :07:48.rush in, so why after 90 days would be lifted so they could come back in
:07:49. > :07:51.anyway? You are right to raise it but it's unlikely this will only be
:07:52. > :07:58.for 90 days. That's my feeling anyway. It does seem odd, there
:07:59. > :08:09.hasn't been an attack on American soil by foreigners since 9/11 and
:08:10. > :08:15.restrictions are very tight so they must be doing something right, so
:08:16. > :08:19.why upset all of that? Why we come back to the 40%. There are stories
:08:20. > :08:26.today and a lot of reporters in the state are going to the heartland,
:08:27. > :08:31.Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania, the key states that swung it for Trump,
:08:32. > :08:36.and they think it is great. For once someone we voted for is doing what
:08:37. > :08:43.they said they would do. And doing it very quickly. Someone we voted
:08:44. > :08:51.for is pandering to our fears. That is not how they put it... Pandering
:08:52. > :08:55.to or addressing our fears. Absolutely, I'm not passing an
:08:56. > :09:04.opinion, simply throwing stuff out there. It was a campaign, whether
:09:05. > :09:09.you supported it or not, that was fundamentally about fear. It's a
:09:10. > :09:12.terrible situation America is in everything is going wrong. Obama was
:09:13. > :09:20.always about hope, this just resonated. If you say there is a
:09:21. > :09:26.bogeyman out there and you are the person who can deal with it, you are
:09:27. > :09:35.laughing, I suggest. If you bring up the front page of the Financial
:09:36. > :09:47.Times, it is... KC. The great survivor, Kenneth Clarke. No, kinky
:09:48. > :09:59.-- King Canute! I just thought of that. The bill giving the Government
:10:00. > :10:03.the right to trigger Article 50 shouldn't go through, he's saying
:10:04. > :10:09.and he isn't a lone voice, is he? The thing about Ken Clarke is he
:10:10. > :10:13.stuck to his beliefs for years and years, and this will obviously put
:10:14. > :10:18.him at odds with his party and Theresa May, and we know people like
:10:19. > :10:27.Anna Soubry for example who didn't vote out but who will back it. Much
:10:28. > :10:31.to be admired, you could argue, Ken Clarke is going against the grain,
:10:32. > :10:36.and what an interesting picture it was yesterday being applauded by
:10:37. > :10:42.Labour and SNP ministers. It is the kind of thing you never thought you
:10:43. > :10:46.would see but you are not surprised that the things we see in Parliament
:10:47. > :10:53.any more. And maths, the irony through all of this is that the
:10:54. > :10:58.majority of my lifetime, the backdrop to Europe was squabbles
:10:59. > :11:02.within the Conservative Party. At this incredibly important moment in
:11:03. > :11:07.British history, it is the squabbles in the Labour Party that are
:11:08. > :11:13.actually perhaps more to the fore in the situation across the ventures.
:11:14. > :11:16.Absolutely, when you have one Conservative MP very much at the end
:11:17. > :11:21.of his career with nothing to lose, to be honest, he's a bit like John
:11:22. > :11:27.McCain in the United States, his six last years and he will say whatever
:11:28. > :11:30.he likes about Donald Trump, it is completely different in the Labour
:11:31. > :11:36.Party which is completely fragmented over this. You would think they
:11:37. > :11:41.couldn't find any more reasons to split and fragment and Article 50
:11:42. > :11:57.has done that. There were signs of it during the election campaign.
:11:58. > :12:01.Jeremy Corbyn's seven out of ten enthusiasm for staying in the
:12:02. > :12:04.European Union foreshadowed what we have now. You try to get your
:12:05. > :12:08.average rail ticket, you have got to go through a menu that goes on for
:12:09. > :12:15.years, longer than the Bible, but now they are going to slim things
:12:16. > :12:25.down for us. The story is they will trial uncertain line is much simpler
:12:26. > :12:31.fares. There are actually 16 million different types of rail fares in
:12:32. > :12:39.Britain, so it is longer than the King James Bible. That was a joke!
:12:40. > :12:49.15 million, and it will all be fine. Extreme million. 16 million
:12:50. > :12:56.apparently. That is fake news, that cannot be true. How will they make
:12:57. > :13:01.it simpler? They will cut out a lot of, if you go here you have to buy
:13:02. > :13:05.an extra ticket, more of a direct through line. They will tell you at
:13:06. > :13:08.the beginning how you can get the cheapest fare as opposed to being
:13:09. > :13:12.given an affair that is expensive and then having to split the
:13:13. > :13:17.journey, buying lots of single tickets and making it cheaper that
:13:18. > :13:22.way. It seems ridiculous. Anything to do with rail fares is ridiculous
:13:23. > :13:25.with both sides blaming each other, and rail companies saying we cannot
:13:26. > :13:30.do this because the Government is in charge of this and that and the rest
:13:31. > :13:35.of it. I would love to think we will get the cheapest rail fare but don't
:13:36. > :13:41.hold your breath. That's not going to happen. Back to the Financial
:13:42. > :13:48.Times. We are all about automation, bank teller is being usurped by ATM
:13:49. > :13:53.machines, checking out at the supermarket, now we have a robot
:13:54. > :13:59.that can play poker and beat people. I remember when I was a kid getting
:14:00. > :14:04.a first video game. For Christmas I want one of these, a robot that has
:14:05. > :14:10.just beaten four of the world's top professional poker players and has
:14:11. > :14:16.won nearly 1.8 million so the game is up for human beings around the
:14:17. > :14:23.poker table. I was going to say you can have a pretty stern face if you
:14:24. > :14:26.are robot, pretty stern RoboCop. Thank you very much for looking at
:14:27. > :14:31.some of the stories behind the headlines. That is it from my guests
:14:32. > :14:41.tonight, and thank you for watching. Goodbye.
:14:42. > :14:46.Hello, good evening. All our weather will be coming in from the west for
:14:47. > :14:47.the start of February.
