:00:18. > :00:21.STUDIO: Hello, welcome to our look at what is going to be in newspapers

:00:22. > :00:41.tomorrow morning. With me are Former pensions minister

:00:42. > :00:44.Baroness Ros Altmann and the Evening Standard columnist Mihir Bose. The

:00:45. > :00:47.Financial Times leads with a warning from the Chancellor that any extra

:00:48. > :00:49.spending on social care and schools in next month's Budget will have to

:00:50. > :00:52.paid for through higher taxes. The i has a report on the housing crisis.

:00:53. > :00:54.The paper claims ministers are being accused of abandoning "a generation

:00:55. > :00:57.of aspiring homeowners" The Telegraph leads with our top story

:00:58. > :00:58.tonight, the British man who carried out a suicide bombing for so called

:00:59. > :01:05.Islamic State in Iraq on Sunday. The paper says the British

:01:06. > :01:09.government paid him a million pounds in compensation

:01:10. > :01:11.after he was released The Times says the Brexit

:01:12. > :01:13.Secretary, David Davis, has declared that the UK

:01:14. > :01:16.will keep its doors open for low-skilled European

:01:17. > :01:17.workers, after Brexit. reporting how City bankers say

:01:18. > :01:21.the potential loss of jobs to the rest of europe could threaten

:01:22. > :01:25.financial stability. Could the England captain,

:01:26. > :01:27.Wayne Rooney, be heading to China? The Mirror reports he could be

:01:28. > :01:30.leaving Manchester United. And the Mail leads with

:01:31. > :01:32.how a suspected jihadi terrorist pocketed taxpayers' money

:01:33. > :01:35.after accusing MI6 agents of being complicit in his mistreatment

:01:36. > :01:59.at the hands of the Americans. We're going to kick off with the

:02:00. > :02:04.Daily Mail, because they have the story that most of the front pages

:02:05. > :02:08.have got, the ISU aside bomber that you, the British taxpayer, paid ?1

:02:09. > :02:14.million. This guy was a web designer from Manchester, then he was held in

:02:15. > :02:22.Guantanamo Bay, claimed that he was unfairly held, was released and paid

:02:23. > :02:26.?1 million. I think the payment was to avoid paying more, if it had gone

:02:27. > :02:30.to court, it was some kind of settlement. Now he has ended up

:02:31. > :02:36.being filmed as a night as suicide bomber. Wonder if the ?1 million has

:02:37. > :02:41.gone to eye -esque on some now. Reason British taxpayers paid it, he

:02:42. > :02:50.claimed MI6 was involved in what happened. -- the IS suicide bomber.

:02:51. > :02:53.The Tony Blair government was also involved in the release and making

:02:54. > :02:59.the payment, according to this. It raises questions about why he was

:03:00. > :03:02.monitored. Even after he was paid, whether payment is justified or not,

:03:03. > :03:06.but given his record, he really should have been monitored. How do

:03:07. > :03:11.they allow him to, if you like, have this second life and do what he has

:03:12. > :03:16.done. Does it raise questions about those who campaigned on his behalf?

:03:17. > :03:20.It does, I suppose they would argue that they could not have known what

:03:21. > :03:26.he was going to do in the future. But all the front pages are pretty

:03:27. > :03:31.much covering the story. It will sit poorly with a lot of taxpayers. You

:03:32. > :03:41.can understand why. Ronald Fiddler, his original British name, before

:03:42. > :03:45.changing it. Horrible picture of him, smiling, as he is about to blow

:03:46. > :03:50.himself up and stop at the moment of his suicide bombing. Going onto the

:03:51. > :03:55."Brexit" story, The Times, they say Britain will stay open to EU

:03:56. > :04:00.migrants, David Davis, exit secretary, talking in the House of

:04:01. > :04:04.Lords today, about "Brexit", about the bill to trigger article 50. I

:04:05. > :04:11.will be rushing back for the closing, as well. Basically, it

:04:12. > :04:16.seems that we need EU immigrants, and this is something that David

:04:17. > :04:20.Davis is now admitting. In sectors such as social care and agriculture,

:04:21. > :04:23.in the NHS, in lots of areas, we need EU workers to come to do jobs

:04:24. > :04:29.that are not being filled and will not be filled by British workers. I

:04:30. > :04:33.guess one of the questions here is, if we do need immigration and we're

:04:34. > :04:38.not going to stop it anyway, what was the whole "Brexit" thing

:04:39. > :04:41.about...? A lot of people will be asking that, and that is one of the

:04:42. > :04:47.questions I was raising in the house today. How will you vote on the

:04:48. > :04:51.bill? We'll have to see, and amendments coming up in the

:04:52. > :04:55.committee stage, the House of Commons will have the final position

:04:56. > :04:59.but what a number of people in the House of Lords are saying is that

:05:00. > :05:03.maybe the government is not quite ready, we had a white Paper, which

:05:04. > :05:08.is not really have any costed plans, so we are not quite sure what all

:05:09. > :05:14.this "Brexit" is actually going to mean. Maybe we should not rush to

:05:15. > :05:18.quickly. What is interesting, reading what David Davis has said,

:05:19. > :05:24.he has made a great case for immigration, he should be the

:05:25. > :05:28.Immigration Minister! The arguments he presents about the hospitality

:05:29. > :05:33.sector, and interesting that the president of the NFU, the national

:05:34. > :05:37.farmers union, has said that if farm workers and so on do not come,

:05:38. > :05:41.seasonal workers, we might have great difficulty in getting food!

:05:42. > :05:47.This is one of the issues we will have to deal with as we move

:05:48. > :05:58.forward, with "Brexit". We do need certain jobs to be done. There are

:05:59. > :06:10.immigrants doing them, they will not be able to do these jobs.

:06:11. > :06:13.Semi-members in the House of Lords. Some people said that the people

:06:14. > :06:22.voted, the Commons passed it without amendment. I don't agree with that,

:06:23. > :06:26.that is precisely the role of the House of Lords, which is, if you

:06:27. > :06:30.think the Commons has done something that is a bit hasty or has not been

:06:31. > :06:33.fully thought through, you can send it back and say, maybe you should

:06:34. > :06:40.think again about these particular issues. What about the will of the

:06:41. > :06:42.people? We do not make the final decision, the House of Lords can

:06:43. > :06:46.send it back to the House of Commons and say, think again on that.

:06:47. > :06:50.Commons can think again and say, we have thought again, and actually, we

:06:51. > :06:58.think we were right in the first place. Would you vote against the

:06:59. > :07:03.bill, against triggering Article 50? If they sent it back, and they sent

:07:04. > :07:07.it back to us, it is not the role of the House of Lords to overturn a

:07:08. > :07:18.Commons decision but it is the role to scrutinise it.

:07:19. > :07:24.The French presidential candidate, some people saying he has a pretty

:07:25. > :07:29.good chance of winning, he has been in London today, he went to Downing

:07:30. > :07:33.Street, Theresa May agree to see him, Angela Merkel did not want to

:07:34. > :07:38.see him because he is a candidate. You wonder whether he is thinking --

:07:39. > :07:41.she is thinking, if he is French president, he is the man they will

:07:42. > :07:47.be dealing with on the "Brexit" negotiation. And looking at having

:07:48. > :07:54.the right bridges, we don't know how hard the negotiations will be. If he

:07:55. > :07:58.gets into the lease a palace, it'll be nice for her have someone she can

:07:59. > :08:07.talk to, and interesting motive for coming here, trying to get people to

:08:08. > :08:10.get back to Paris and so on, even tempting British people to go and

:08:11. > :08:16.work in Paris. -- Elysee Palace. Appealing to French voters. A lot of

:08:17. > :08:23.French voters there? There is 300,000. A lot, several hundred

:08:24. > :08:27.thousand. In another election it might make a difference. And he was

:08:28. > :08:32.making a speech to them tonight in Westminster. Also saying in France

:08:33. > :08:35.that he will not be terribly kind to Britain in the negotiations but then

:08:36. > :08:40.he would have to say that, because the French don't want him to say, we

:08:41. > :08:44.will give Britain a great deal. Let's talk about the Telegraph's

:08:45. > :08:51.FrontPage, the continuing story about business rates, and looking

:08:52. > :08:55.like some indications that there could be some sort of climb-down by

:08:56. > :09:01.the government on this whole issue of business rates? Not clear, what

:09:02. > :09:09.is happening is a tussle between Sajid Javid and Philip Hammond.

:09:10. > :09:11.Sajid Javid, from the local government 's Department, sent out

:09:12. > :09:17.some information which misled MPs a little bit, into believing that the

:09:18. > :09:21.rate rises were not going to be as big as they were going to be, and

:09:22. > :09:26.Philip Hammond now coming under pressure to ease some of those rate

:09:27. > :09:31.rises, offset some of the costs. This could be a rerun of the poll

:09:32. > :09:35.tax, the poll tax affected individual families and so on, and

:09:36. > :09:38.it is quite interesting, if you read the story, there is a suggestion

:09:39. > :09:46.that both sides, Philip Hammond and Sajid Javid had briefed reporters,

:09:47. > :09:48.there is a line about friends of Sajid Javid, which always sounds

:09:49. > :09:52.like the minister talking off the record. Saying he has been the fall

:09:53. > :09:57.guy in this, he has been made to appear as if he has imposed these

:09:58. > :10:02.rate rises and so on. This effect, I would think, the Tory heartland,

:10:03. > :10:07.most of the people who are going to pay the high rates will be Tory

:10:08. > :10:11.party supporters? Are they not likely to defect to Ukip? They will

:10:12. > :10:16.not defected to Labour. We don't know but rates have not been changed

:10:17. > :10:21.in this way for nearly ten years, that's one of the problems, there is

:10:22. > :10:24.a big catch up, between the high property price rises, we have had

:10:25. > :10:27.over the last ten years, and the amount of rates that small

:10:28. > :10:31.shopkeepers are paying. With retail coming under pressure from the

:10:32. > :10:38.online business... This is a real blow. I think we are seeing, for

:10:39. > :10:42.example, about a quarter of small shopkeepers have ended up in court,

:10:43. > :10:46.because they have not been able to pay their rates. We have a real

:10:47. > :10:52.issue and maybe the Chancellor is going to do something about it?

:10:53. > :10:57.Maybe he is but there is a quote, he has told MPs there is no pot of

:10:58. > :11:01.money under my desk. He will have to find the money from somewhere else!

:11:02. > :11:09.May be behind the sofa! But it is not behind his desk. The mirror...

:11:10. > :11:12.As a former BBC sports editor, I'm sure you would like to talk about

:11:13. > :11:17.Wayne Rooney possibly going to China, as early as next week even.

:11:18. > :11:22.And getting ?30 million. -- The Mirror. This is part of the declared

:11:23. > :11:26.policy by China becoming a great football power, within about ten

:11:27. > :11:31.years, attracting players, what they are doing is targeting players who

:11:32. > :11:37.are coming towards the end of their career and who have decided, if he

:11:38. > :11:43.is going, that there is not much for him to do at Manchester United. And

:11:44. > :11:49.play up Rafael England, probably has another year, why not make a pot of

:11:50. > :11:55.money. These players of course will profit enormously. -- and play for

:11:56. > :12:00.England. Whether that will make China a world power, in football,

:12:01. > :12:06.that is another question, because they need to find their own players.

:12:07. > :12:09.My own favourite story of the day, I don't know if you were watching the

:12:10. > :12:13.match yesterday, possibly not, you were probably in the Lords, but the

:12:14. > :12:21.Sutton United goalkeeper, Wayne Shaw, during the match with the

:12:22. > :12:27.Arsenal, pictured... Eating a pie... Iain Carter fans to bet on it, and

:12:28. > :12:32.someone offered 8/ one. -- he encouraged fans to bet on it. I

:12:33. > :12:37.think this has been blown up, clearly there is no digestion of him

:12:38. > :12:41.eating the pie affecting the result. -- 8/ one. Is that why the sudden

:12:42. > :12:46.shot hit the post and did not go in...? LAUGHTER

:12:47. > :12:50.I think this is about the FA and the gambling body becoming a bit too

:12:51. > :12:55.officious about this. -- 8/1. Obviously you have got to stop the

:12:56. > :12:59.sort of betting scandals we have had, not in this country but

:13:00. > :13:05.elsewhere, but eating a buyer, having a bet on it... This is

:13:06. > :13:10.getting quite ridiculous. Pretty chunky goalkeeper... 20 stone...

:13:11. > :13:13.Probably quite good at stopping the ball from going in the net. He

:13:14. > :13:17.doesn't have to do anything, just stands there. 46 years old as well,

:13:18. > :13:29.he was the reserve goalkeeper. Classic pun from the sun. The Times,

:13:30. > :13:35.Boris Johnson... Boris Johnson, what can one say, if... Looks like he has

:13:36. > :13:41.had a pie or two, maybe that is the real story, how many pies to Boris

:13:42. > :13:45.Johnson have, and how many bets were there on Boris Johnson having a pie?

:13:46. > :13:49.What has happened to his legs! He looks like he's been in some kind of

:13:50. > :13:53.battle with somebody! Maybe he is hoping to be recruited by the

:13:54. > :14:01.Chinese to play football. Perhaps it could be the new reserve goalkeeper

:14:02. > :14:06.for Sutton United. He is advertising health, -- himself, he can eat a lot

:14:07. > :14:11.of pies and stop a goal or two. I think rugby is his game. What about

:14:12. > :14:15.his choice of running where? Looks like his charmers. I guess his hat

:14:16. > :14:24.matches his shorts, to some degree, that is all you can save. It is

:14:25. > :14:28.quite a look! Very fetching, shall we say. Fantastic, great to have you

:14:29. > :14:32.both with us. I will let you dash back to the Lords, Wendy Venice?

:14:33. > :14:36.Midnight, that is what they were telling us. Thank you so much for

:14:37. > :14:40.being with us. That is it from the papers denied, don't forget, front

:14:41. > :14:49.pages of the papers online, on the BBC news website, all therefore you,

:14:50. > :14:56.seven days a week. -- all their for you. And if you miss a programme,

:14:57. > :14:58.then you can catch it on BBC iPlayer. -- all there for you.
