:00:17. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:20. > :00:23.With me are former Trade Minister Lord Digby Jones
:00:24. > :00:26.Let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages.
:00:27. > :00:30.The Telegraph focuses on sharp rises in business rates,
:00:31. > :00:33.saying the Government is likely to face revolt
:00:34. > :00:43.The mail has the same story and it says business groups are concerned
:00:44. > :00:45.that they could be blocked from appealing against big rises in their
:00:46. > :00:46.rates. The Express reports on a new study
:00:47. > :00:49.which says a one-off 30-minute run, swim or strenuous walk can
:00:50. > :00:51.significantly boost heart health. The Metro leads with the rising
:00:52. > :00:54.level of train delays, saying more than one in ten
:00:55. > :00:56.trains are running late And the NHS features
:00:57. > :01:03.on the front of the 'i', with an investigation
:01:04. > :01:14.into the future of The Times says Britain has become a
:01:15. > :01:18.more clean living nation spending on alcohol and cigarettes has almost
:01:19. > :01:26.halved in almost 15 years. Finally the Guardian puts President was Mike
:01:27. > :01:29.Trump -- President Trump's press conference on the front page.
:01:30. > :01:37.Let's begin with the front page of the Guardian. Henry. This is its
:01:38. > :01:41.ordinary. I watch this press conference. It was meant to be to
:01:42. > :01:47.announce the new labour Secretary because one resigned last night. It
:01:48. > :01:50.ended up looking like... Do the King, the end, the top of the Empire
:01:51. > :01:53.State building? The plains of firing at him any guesses lashing out in
:01:54. > :01:58.every direction like a bear with a sore head and back it was exactly
:01:59. > :02:04.the same thing. He was attacking Jewish journalists, asking
:02:05. > :02:13.African-American journalist to setting up... He's saying that... He
:02:14. > :02:15.says all over the place. Looking at the transcript, it was like a
:02:16. > :02:20.strimmer consciousness. The reaction of the journalists who were in the
:02:21. > :02:23.room they were looking at each other cackling and laughing. They were
:02:24. > :02:29.asking whether this is a reality show or whether this is a President
:02:30. > :02:37.of the United States. I suspect his handlers are going to want to make
:02:38. > :02:41.sure he did not want to do it again. It ended with him being heckled. Do
:02:42. > :02:45.you agree with Henry that he was like a bear with a sore head? Was a
:02:46. > :02:50.not too a certain extent enjoying himself? He solipsistic, isn't he?
:02:51. > :02:53.He likes being the centre of everything and everything revolves
:02:54. > :02:57.around him. One day coming he is going to be King Kong at the top of
:02:58. > :03:02.the skyscraper. At the moment, it is early days. If I was going to be
:03:03. > :03:07.benevolent about this, I would say it is entirely different for soppy
:03:08. > :03:13.journalists, the press corps are going to have to get used to a
:03:14. > :03:17.completely different way of the White has been run. -- for
:03:18. > :03:28.journalists. If people are just being upset because they are, what
:03:29. > :03:35.really worries me is that he is the officeholder with respect to the
:03:36. > :03:38.most powerful office on earth. If they start laughing at the President
:03:39. > :03:41.of the United States of America, if you couple that with the thing that
:03:42. > :03:44.ready worries me which is that all the rest of the world are going to
:03:45. > :03:48.have to accommodate unpredictability and whether he's going to say X and
:03:49. > :03:54.the next year is going to say why and all of that, you have got a very
:03:55. > :03:57.unstable world. This is not a small country in South America or Africa
:03:58. > :04:01.or Eastern Europe that is doing this, this is the most powerful
:04:02. > :04:08.military might honour. I worry not about whether a load of journalists
:04:09. > :04:13.went off on this afternoon, I worry that this is the officeholder that
:04:14. > :04:17.is being laughed at. Is there a sense that there is a spectacle
:04:18. > :04:20.around this? A jaw-dropping, we have never seen anything like this before
:04:21. > :04:23.and perhaps they are being distracted by that and in a sense
:04:24. > :04:27.what we should be concentrating on is the fact? The thing is the
:04:28. > :04:30.journalists, if you watch the toing and froing between them, they were
:04:31. > :04:34.concentrating on the facts. They pressed again and again on Russia.
:04:35. > :04:37.When they went from the guy from CNN to another journalist, that
:04:38. > :04:42.journalist asked the same question in a different way. As time goes by
:04:43. > :04:47.and they can to save themselves we will not let it get away with this.
:04:48. > :04:49.Is commander-in-chief. Russia helped steal the election.
:04:50. > :04:53.Constitutionally, this is very important. One thing that concerns
:04:54. > :04:57.me about this guy is that he has got such a thin skin. Politicians grow
:04:58. > :05:02.up, I know he is not one, but grow up. As a business one, you have got
:05:03. > :05:07.to take it. He was saying in this conference, he was told he was wrong
:05:08. > :05:13.that he got the wrong electoral college wins. Is that I got this
:05:14. > :05:16.information. Why do they bother saying it in first place? To do it
:05:17. > :05:23.matter that more people turned up his inauguration than his? On that
:05:24. > :05:33.note, let's move onto the next story. Tories face a revolt over
:05:34. > :05:36.nightmare rise in rates. This is about business rates and an
:05:37. > :05:42.impending revolt in the Tory heartland. You sound sceptical,
:05:43. > :05:48.Digby. This is a north-south issue. If you look at the Tory heartlands,
:05:49. > :05:52.if you look at south-east England, the first revaluation since 2008.
:05:53. > :05:55.Probably values are revalued for the purposes of reassessing how much you
:05:56. > :05:59.pay if you own a shop or the office of the little workshop. Up go the
:06:00. > :06:05.business rates. In south-east England, you have had big property
:06:06. > :06:09.rises in value. Up go the business rates. It is true that an awful lot
:06:10. > :06:13.of small businesses in south-east England will either not be able to
:06:14. > :06:16.afford it and therefore cut back on recruitment and cut back on
:06:17. > :06:22.investment, or they won't be able to afford it and go bust. If you went
:06:23. > :06:24.north of Birmingham and if you went north of England, there are an awful
:06:25. > :06:31.lot of businesses next April who will be paying fewer business rates.
:06:32. > :06:35.This money. Why? Because businesses have not and as much. If you're
:06:36. > :06:39.reading this in north England, you will think soft south. In south
:06:40. > :06:44.England, we will think we are the engine room of Britain, what are you
:06:45. > :06:47.doing this? You to see this through different eyes. The Daily Mail have
:06:48. > :06:54.the same sorry written up in a slightly different way. They say
:06:55. > :07:01.they are dealing almost 300,000 appeals. It is true. He would go.
:07:02. > :07:04.It's a political problem for the Government. Massively. The
:07:05. > :07:10.Conservative Party is only meant to be the party of Laura order and
:07:11. > :07:17.businesses small and large. Most people are not employed by local
:07:18. > :07:21.government or by national Government, they are supplied by
:07:22. > :07:25.local enterprises. If you said that because property rates have gone up
:07:26. > :07:29.massively since 2008, think about it. A lot of people who run those
:07:30. > :07:32.businesses will not necessarily have increased aberrant, their turnover
:07:33. > :07:36.will not have increased by the same amount, they will be screwed unless
:07:37. > :07:39.there is a relief. Conservative backbenchers are calling for that.
:07:40. > :07:44.It is a question as to whether Philip Hammond will do that. You are
:07:45. > :07:48.factually incorrect, it is not though the property rates have gone
:07:49. > :07:52.up since I wait, it is the value of the properties. The rates are going
:07:53. > :07:55.to happen overnight. It is not being brought in on a transitional, it is
:07:56. > :08:09.overnight. Suddenly when you are right, I misspoke. You were wrong. I
:08:10. > :08:12.misspoke, Digby. Let's move on. Spending on cigarettes and alcohol
:08:13. > :08:17.falls through a 15 year low. This is very significant. The question is
:08:18. > :08:19.why. There's a new one or two facts. Spending on alcohol and cigarettes.
:08:20. > :08:25.We're talking about the typical household who are spending ?11 40 a
:08:26. > :08:31.week last year on the Lee Mack and pay to almost ?20 in 2001. That is
:08:32. > :08:36.according to the office for National statistics. The big question is why.
:08:37. > :08:41.Apparently, this cutback is being led by the younger generation. They
:08:42. > :08:46.drink less and spend a lot more time hanging out playing video games. A
:08:47. > :08:51.lot of people are teetotal by religion or culture. A quarter or
:08:52. > :08:56.something? More than a cause of under 25 start teetotal. If's
:08:57. > :08:59.astonishing, isn't it? How we've moved from being binge drinkers ten
:09:00. > :09:06.years ago to this. This may be the result of lots and lots of anti-drug
:09:07. > :09:13.propaganda. I agree. And e-cigarette Uganda. If I may just say, this is a
:09:14. > :09:19.paper review, -- and anti-cigarette propaganda. You hear all this stuff
:09:20. > :09:23.and one-day porridge is wonderful for you and the next day it is
:09:24. > :09:26.awful. Once, on the front page we have got something that nobody can
:09:27. > :09:32.disagree with. Cigarettes and alcohol are bad for you and they
:09:33. > :09:38.fall to a 15 year low. For a newspaper to carry this on the front
:09:39. > :09:42.page, that is not going so badly. Digby approves. With Philip Hammond
:09:43. > :09:47.and the budget coming up, they are tremendous sources of tax revenue.
:09:48. > :09:51.When people are ill because of these they cost the NHS are huge amount of
:09:52. > :09:55.money. That is always been the dichotomy. They're what is the
:09:56. > :10:02.tipping point? What point you put the tax up so much? I can whistle
:10:03. > :10:10.here made Birmingham. I won't blow it but I can. Clive has a gavel and
:10:11. > :10:14.you can have a whistle. Let's move on, the front page the Lee Mack page
:10:15. > :10:21.of the expressed full stop also about health and also good news. The
:10:22. > :10:26.folklore and the scientific data tells you that you have to train at
:10:27. > :10:32.least three times a week. According to scientists here, they claim that
:10:33. > :10:35.a one-off 30 minute run can relieve boost longevity by warding off
:10:36. > :10:39.cardiovascular disease. I don't think that is enough. I think at
:10:40. > :10:44.least three times a week for 45 minutes ago. That is not the story
:10:45. > :10:48.though. I know. I am overruling the story. What you need to do is little
:10:49. > :10:52.and often. Where they are right is what they are really saying is get
:10:53. > :10:56.exercise. That is right. One of apparently is good. Lots of people
:10:57. > :11:04.will cheer that. Yes. Let's take you back to the Guardian. A great front
:11:05. > :11:09.page picture. Could mammoths will be a game? He has been desperate to do
:11:10. > :11:13.this. Yes. I saw this in the little corner of the eye down here. What
:11:14. > :11:17.we're saying is that this is Jurassic Park territory. Taking DNA
:11:18. > :11:20.out of an extinct fossil, putting it into an elephant which could be the
:11:21. > :11:25.host and the hosts starts growing hair and big tasks. An amazing
:11:26. > :11:28.thought. What they start doing with drivers or reflexes and all of that.
:11:29. > :11:32.The word that they have used in the eye of the same story was of a great
:11:33. > :11:36.picture in the Guardian. But they use the word the extension, they put
:11:37. > :11:48.woolly mammoth hybrid within two years, the extension. I thought you
:11:49. > :11:56.could de-extinct Bobby Charlton or George Becks. He alive. We should
:11:57. > :11:59.still focus on the people who are still alive -- and animals are the
:12:00. > :12:03.still alive rather than the ones that are extinct. I agree especially
:12:04. > :12:09.with poaching. I'm glad we agree on that one. Very worrying. We have
:12:10. > :12:13.agreed far too much tonight. They give very much. We didn't need the
:12:14. > :12:16.whistle. That is it that the papers tonight. Don't forget you can see
:12:17. > :12:22.the front page of the papers online on the BBC News website. It is all
:12:23. > :12:27.their few seven days a week. If you missed the programme, you can watch
:12:28. > :12:33.it later on BBC I play. A big thank you to Digby Andrew Henry. Thank you
:12:34. > :12:34.very much the headlines are coming up for you shortly.
