:00:00. > :00:15.thinks it is an Oscars contender in the Film Review.
:00:16. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:20. > :00:22.With me are Caroline Frost, entertainment editor
:00:23. > :00:24.at the Huffington Post UK, and Tony Grew, Parliamentary
:00:25. > :00:30.Let's start tomorrow's front pages with the Daily Telegraph.
:00:31. > :00:33.Alongside a picture of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arriving
:00:34. > :00:36.at the Baftas, the paper quotes the Justice Secretary,
:00:37. > :00:38.Liz Truss, as saying wicked offenders won't be released early
:00:39. > :00:40.in order to meet prison population targets.
:00:41. > :00:44.The Express says there is fury at a new bid to wreck
:00:45. > :00:47.Theresa May's Brexit Bill when it goes through the House of Lords.
:00:48. > :00:50.We all need tasers to fight terror is the Metro's headline,
:00:51. > :00:52.following a survey of Metropolitan Police officers
:00:53. > :00:55.suggesting two in three believe the stun guns should be carried
:00:56. > :01:08.The Times is predicting a high street revolt over proposed rises
:01:09. > :01:11.The paper says pubs and restaurants fear they will vanish.
:01:12. > :01:14.What a waste, declares the Mail, which claims mandarins have wasted
:01:15. > :01:17.billions of taxpayers' money on failed schemes such as crashing
:01:18. > :01:19.drones and plane tickets for asylum seekers.
:01:20. > :01:22.And alongside a picture of Emma Stone, who has taken
:01:23. > :01:25.Best Actress award for her role in La La land at the Baftas,
:01:26. > :01:27.the Guardian reports that whistle-blowers face a full-frontal
:01:28. > :01:55.Let's now move on to look at some of those papers. Who wants to start us
:01:56. > :01:59.off? Tony, perhaps you can get us started with the Daily Telegraph's
:02:00. > :02:03.front page. Forget jail numbers, criminals will do time. He was
:02:04. > :02:07.saying it and what is it about? It is a speech that the Justice
:02:08. > :02:11.Secretary is expected to make tomorrow. It marks a significant
:02:12. > :02:17.change in one aspect of justice policy. Theresa May likes to joke, I
:02:18. > :02:21.say it is a joke, I have never heard anyone laugh at it, so I guess she
:02:22. > :02:25.just likes to say it, when Ken Clarke was just a secretary, she
:02:26. > :02:29.liked to lock them up and he liked to let them out and now there is a
:02:30. > :02:33.new Justice Secretary and it seems locking them up is the new priority.
:02:34. > :02:36.This is a change from Liz Truss's predecessor, Michael Gove, who
:02:37. > :02:41.talked about reducing numbers and called for the release of 500
:02:42. > :02:45.prisoners serving minimum term public protection sentences. He
:02:46. > :02:48.wanted more emphasis on rehabilitation and prevention. What
:02:49. > :02:51.Liz Truss is expected to say tomorrow is the government now
:02:52. > :02:54.thinks that people who have been convicted of crimes she regards as
:02:55. > :02:58.we could well serve longer sentences and this is seen as a reaction to
:02:59. > :03:02.some of the public who feel that people are given a sentence and
:03:03. > :03:05.don't serve the full sentence, there is something wrong with that of the
:03:06. > :03:14.system. Interesting to use the word wicked.
:03:15. > :03:21.Labour had called for the prison population to be halved as it was in
:03:22. > :03:25.1990. I had forgotten that was ever a target. It seems jolly
:03:26. > :03:29.unrealistic. It sounds good, it sounds very promising, ringing down
:03:30. > :03:35.on overcrowding in prisons and all the problems that that causes. The
:03:36. > :03:39.chain goes on. You go to prison in unfavourable circumstances and you
:03:40. > :03:43.come out often much more likely to offend, in some cases, and Labour
:03:44. > :03:47.made this great promise. For me this is very much trying to square the
:03:48. > :03:51.circle, trying to reduce the people in prison but not really going into
:03:52. > :03:56.the small print of how you are going to perhaps cut problems and the
:03:57. > :03:59.social problems that come. We know that inequality and drug addiction
:04:00. > :04:04.and mental health problems are all part of this big social chain that
:04:05. > :04:08.lead so many people to jail and until you tackle that, this use of
:04:09. > :04:13.the word wicked can be bandied around, but you need to really
:04:14. > :04:17.define your terms, I think, if you are going to specify who will stay
:04:18. > :04:23.in and who will come out. Let's press on. The Times, I think we will
:04:24. > :04:28.look at next. A High Street revolt over the rates rise. This is
:04:29. > :04:34.business rates, a lot of pubs and restaurants will vanish.
:04:35. > :04:37.Interestingly, the story here, a lot of big-name companies. We often hear
:04:38. > :04:42.of small businesses terrified of rate rises. But these are big ones.
:04:43. > :04:47.They are, and these hikes are due to come in at the end of March, or
:04:48. > :04:51.April, and they will have huge cost implications. If you go into the
:04:52. > :04:55.small print is the government have been swift to point out, in fact
:04:56. > :05:00.rates will fall for many businesses and remain the same. This is very
:05:01. > :05:05.much trying to... Philip Hammond is doing what chancellors do, which is
:05:06. > :05:10.Move pots around to enable councils to spend money where it is most
:05:11. > :05:15.needed. They are having to tackle the lobby ready, politically
:05:16. > :05:26.powerful bigger chains, who do certainly have pool on the high
:05:27. > :05:30.street and in Parliament. -- pull. It is linked to the value of
:05:31. > :05:36.property. People think of London but a lot of places are hotspots around
:05:37. > :05:41.the country. They emphasise this again and again and again, big
:05:42. > :05:46.businesses, which have real value of over ?100,000. That is why
:05:47. > :05:48.households are worried about eye watering rises. Oxford Street is
:05:49. > :05:53.particular concerned they will face a significant rise. As someone who
:05:54. > :05:57.lives in London, I have been on Oxford Street and business is not
:05:58. > :06:01.bad for them. They can afford to pay more for social care. I have very
:06:02. > :06:06.little time for this story. If it was hitting small business, I would
:06:07. > :06:13.be concerned. These businesses, Peter Express, Wagamama, the last
:06:14. > :06:21.time I was there, they didn't seem to be struggling. -- Pizza Express.
:06:22. > :06:25.And a lot of small firms also complain about this. And one of the
:06:26. > :06:28.problems is the government has been slowly strangling councils for the
:06:29. > :06:32.last six years. Massive cuts in their budgets, and they are coming
:06:33. > :06:36.up with these solutions that you can raise rates and council tax, but
:06:37. > :06:39.actually, I think we all know that local council funding will need a
:06:40. > :06:44.lot more than they will raise through these rate rises. There are
:06:45. > :06:50.a lot of stories around tonight, an important one here. North Korea.
:06:51. > :06:54.They are sizing up the Trump reaction to this missile launch. It
:06:55. > :06:58.is fascinating. North Korea sets off yet another one of its missiles, at
:06:59. > :07:02.the very time when President Trump is meeting and playing golf with the
:07:03. > :07:09.Japanese Prime Minister, so Mr Trump comes out and says I support Japan.
:07:10. > :07:15.That is at least a clear statement of policy, isn't it? It is good that
:07:16. > :07:20.he got the name of the country right, and didn't insult anyone. He
:07:21. > :07:25.didn't mention South Korea, who have a dog in the fight, being across the
:07:26. > :07:29.border from North Korea. It is a rogue state, and very few countries
:07:30. > :07:33.have influence over North Korea, really only China. This is the first
:07:34. > :07:38.big foreign policy test for President Trump and so far he hasn't
:07:39. > :07:43.started a nuclear war, so we should be pleased about that. That is, of
:07:44. > :07:48.course, true. But it is a very serious situation, where as you say
:07:49. > :07:52.China is in there, we don't know, Mr Trump's attitude to China seems to
:07:53. > :07:56.swing around depending what issue he is facing. It is a difficult job,
:07:57. > :08:01.being president of the United States. Not as much fun as he
:08:02. > :08:07.anticipated. I'm sure those tweets fired off to Arnold Schwarzenegger
:08:08. > :08:10.involve a bit of nostalgia. We really are rattling along. Who
:08:11. > :08:14.considers themselves an expert in what happens at things like the
:08:15. > :08:20.races? The Times has this great story, drink curbs to stop bad
:08:21. > :08:24.behaviour at the races. I'm sure there is no bad behaviour from you
:08:25. > :08:29.anywhere at any time, Carolyn, not tell us what the story is about.
:08:30. > :08:39.Very similar to other sports in the past, even making's boon sport has
:08:40. > :08:46.involved over imbibing and a certain amount of reverie which hasn't ended
:08:47. > :08:50.well -- own sport. They will only be able to buy three glasses of water
:08:51. > :08:55.and no more than four alcoholic drinks at a time, which were just
:08:56. > :09:00.about finished me off. Do you mean having them or not having them? I
:09:01. > :09:04.think the cost would be prohibitive. Nobody has seen bad drinking at the
:09:05. > :09:08.races unless they have been to the Melbourne Cup, and I say that to all
:09:09. > :09:12.Australians watching this. I am sure you hold that title with pride. At
:09:13. > :09:16.some point they have to decide if they actually want drink. They are
:09:17. > :09:20.being seen to be socially responsible, but obviously they are
:09:21. > :09:24.still coining it, and these drinks are not cheap. If they really want
:09:25. > :09:29.people not to drink, they shouldn't be available. At a football match
:09:30. > :09:34.you can't bring drink in at all, but cricket now, massive amounts of
:09:35. > :09:37.drinking, almost everywhere else. Wimbledon, Ulph courses, everywhere.
:09:38. > :09:42.Racing used to be a middle-class sport and some working-class people
:09:43. > :09:50.have come along and urinated into a glass, and the whole thing has
:09:51. > :09:54.changed as Mac golf courses. -- golf courses. The second day of the
:09:55. > :09:58.festival was marred by photographs of footballers getting drunk, women
:09:59. > :10:02.baring their breasts and two people urinating into their beer glasses.
:10:03. > :10:06.Something must be done. I hadn't quite looked at this as a class
:10:07. > :10:14.-based issue, I must say. Let's go on to the Daily Mail. Their front
:10:15. > :10:20.page here. What a waste, they say. What is the waste they are referring
:10:21. > :10:24.to? What is it about? Surprisingly, in an extremely complicated
:10:25. > :10:30.organisations such as the government, waste does happen. They
:10:31. > :10:33.have information from 20 government departments and put it to find out
:10:34. > :10:39.where government money has been wasted, important to point out that
:10:40. > :10:45.money the government has admitted they have wasted, and they have
:10:46. > :10:49.recovered sums of ?300,000. The first horrible example they pick up
:10:50. > :10:56.on is almost ?2 million squandered on deportation fight for failed
:10:57. > :11:01.asylum seekers, which is something where the Daily Mail might have an
:11:02. > :11:05.interest. This is where they paid for the tickets and they didn't go.
:11:06. > :11:09.They have something called the court system, which the Daily Mail doesn't
:11:10. > :11:13.approve of is the judge enemies of the people. That these people
:11:14. > :11:16.shouldn't be deported, and quite rightly, the cost of their ticket
:11:17. > :11:19.comes back to the government. They are complaining that RAF drones
:11:20. > :11:25.which are tested crashed, which is the point of testing drones. And a
:11:26. > :11:31.ride off by the MoD, which is very wasteful, and defence is notorious
:11:32. > :11:34.for overspend and problems with equipment. Obviously you could pick
:11:35. > :11:38.out things that sound a bit silly, but it does seem ready awful,
:11:39. > :11:43.doesn't it, some of the things that go on. It is the old pennies and
:11:44. > :11:47.pounds argument, isn't it? If you are allowing money to go wasted on
:11:48. > :11:51.small things, what about the big things? In the mail seems to have
:11:52. > :11:58.identified them. That is what it is all about. -- the Daily Mail. You
:11:59. > :12:02.could say ?626 being wasted on Christmas bonuses, that is an extra
:12:03. > :12:06.?10 each of those individuals got. I think this is chipping away at
:12:07. > :12:10.trustworthiness. That the government can't be trusted with that much
:12:11. > :12:14.money. I don't know what they are proposing, that they should have
:12:15. > :12:18.less of it, that there should be a transparency issue... We will see
:12:19. > :12:23.what comes out in the response. And you were there tonight. At the Royal
:12:24. > :12:26.Albert Hall, freezing away, but there is Emma Stone, who got the
:12:27. > :12:31.Best Actress award. She doesn't look as though she is wearing enough. I
:12:32. > :12:35.was wearing slightly more than that, you will be pleased to hear. She has
:12:36. > :12:39.a massive smile on her face, she won the gong for wearing this out fit in
:12:40. > :12:44.minus three degrees and her sterling work in La La Land. But the real
:12:45. > :12:47.star of the night was the Duchess of Cambridge. And their pictures on the
:12:48. > :12:54.front of the Daily Telegraph there. As usual, they stole the limelight
:12:55. > :13:01.on the red carpet. Yes, in an Alexander McQueen down. I can tell
:13:02. > :13:07.from looking at it, it is black with ice cream cones on it, that is
:13:08. > :13:11.Alexander McQueen. For once you have done your homework. What you said in
:13:12. > :13:16.the first section is really true, you have these huge US stars who are
:13:17. > :13:20.their own planet, ego, and a minor royal walks into the shop and their
:13:21. > :13:26.knees go weak. Not that they are minor royals. We understand the
:13:27. > :13:31.point exactly. That is the papers for the sour.
:13:32. > :13:35.-- That's it for The Papers this hour.
:13:36. > :13:40.Coming up next, it is The Film Review.
