:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:00:18. > :00:22.With me are the former Trade Minister, Lord Digby Jones and
:00:23. > :00:24.the Broadcaster and campaigner, Henry Bonsu.
:00:25. > :00:34.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...
:00:35. > :00:39.The Metro leads with defeat for the Prime Minister
:00:40. > :00:43.after the House of Lords votes to amend the Brexit Bill.
:00:44. > :00:45.The Telegraph says Theresa May is determined to trigger
:00:46. > :00:47.Article 50 in two weeks, despite the setback created
:00:48. > :01:04.The Express says the House of Lords will fail to derail the government's
:01:05. > :01:10.plans for a hard Brexit. The Times, record highs. Markets on both sides
:01:11. > :01:13.of the Atlantic after President Trump's first speech to Congress.
:01:14. > :01:16.The I has a warning about the "perilous" state of policing -
:01:17. > :01:19.which it says is on the verge of a national crisis
:01:20. > :01:27.Daily Mail taking up that issue. Claiming tens of thousands of
:01:28. > :01:31.criminal suspects are on the loose because of substandard policing.
:01:32. > :01:45.Any one place to start. Brexit. You were in the Lords, you were voting?
:01:46. > :01:51.I obviously voted to ensure we get too March 15 with the service of
:01:52. > :01:55.article 15 notice for the country to start the process of leaving the
:01:56. > :02:03.European Union. You voted against the amendment? I wonder why it is
:02:04. > :02:08.that people think they can firstly overrule the will of the
:02:09. > :02:12.democratically elected House, but secondly trying to tamper with the
:02:13. > :02:19.will of the Democratic expression of the people? Vivre moaners and the
:02:20. > :02:28.seven tours are not stopping. What I find so strange about it. They would
:02:29. > :02:33.be absolutely condemning anyone saying no, no, this is the voice of
:02:34. > :02:41.the people. In case you forgot, it was a narrow victory. An
:02:42. > :02:50.-- it was a narrow victory. It was not a landslide, millions of people
:02:51. > :02:56.alarmed by the kind of Brexit. A lot of the speeches made in the Lords...
:02:57. > :03:01.If I can finish the point, that is why it is useful to have a revising
:03:02. > :03:08.chamber, not trying to thwart the will of the people, they are saying
:03:09. > :03:13.to the elected House we think you should think again. These are
:03:14. > :03:20.mature, experienced people. Lots of people. You, for example. What I'm
:03:21. > :03:26.saying, people who have lived, who have experience. Who are going to
:03:27. > :03:28.bring their experience to this. Very interesting that the government was
:03:29. > :03:34.defeated in this particular endeavour. We are talking about an
:03:35. > :03:40.amendment to try and guarantee the rights of EU citizens in the UK. On
:03:41. > :03:45.the point about the EU citizens: do they not need reassurance? Wouldn't
:03:46. > :03:54.this give them reassurance? I would go further, and I will come to that.
:03:55. > :04:00.You did interrupted me, but... I am so sorry, Digby. The House of Lords
:04:01. > :04:06.is like a nonexecutive director of the country. It revises, advisors,
:04:07. > :04:11.kicks up a stink. It must not overrule the executive committee
:04:12. > :04:15.democratically elected parliament. The legislature. It must not do
:04:16. > :04:21.that, it is getting perilously close. I was in there last week
:04:22. > :04:25.hearing the speeches. One after another, paraded out the same way. I
:04:26. > :04:31.will respect the will of the British people, Bert. The greatest lie I
:04:32. > :04:40.have ever heard. You have just done it now, it is the sort of Brexit. I
:04:41. > :04:56.want a soft Brexit. You're saying I want to stay in the single market.
:04:57. > :04:59.How do you know? If you want a soft Brexit, what you are after is
:05:00. > :05:03.staying in the single market, that means accepting free movement of
:05:04. > :05:12.labour, submissions to the European Court of Justice. People voted yes,
:05:13. > :05:20.no on a simple question. The detail is coming through. It is very
:05:21. > :05:23.important, and I'm delighted that intermittently telemark
:05:24. > :05:26.independently minded peers are saying to the government on that
:05:27. > :05:30.question, the rights of EU citizens, and that is what the government has
:05:31. > :05:37.been defeated on. They will go back to the Commons and the put through
:05:38. > :05:42.unopposed. You will be happy. The Telegraph, which we are reviewing,
:05:43. > :05:49.it will go ahead. Theresa May will still trigger Brexit in two weeks. I
:05:50. > :05:52.think it would be very good, the traditions of this nation to say to
:05:53. > :06:03.citizens here. Worrying, you will fined here -- you will be fine. Did
:06:04. > :06:08.you vote for that amendment? No, I would not overrule the Commons. I
:06:09. > :06:13.would not fetter the power of the negotiating power of our government
:06:14. > :06:17.in negotiations. Why aren't you all saying to the French, give us the
:06:18. > :06:23.right for our citizens to live in Europe? People have been saying
:06:24. > :06:29.that. The European Union has said they were not discuss this until
:06:30. > :06:33.triggered. Why are you asking us to do that? Britain talks about being
:06:34. > :06:41.in splendid isolation. Moral leader in the world. If you really are the
:06:42. > :06:51.moral leader in the world. You want to cut down our negotiating power.
:06:52. > :06:57.If she loses the negotiation, you will blame her. Come on, you lost.
:06:58. > :07:00.If she is going to lose, she will lose many other things, but not
:07:01. > :07:05.this. We need to move on to something that is not Brexit. Not
:07:06. > :07:11.immediately to do with Brexit. Donald Trump made the speech in
:07:12. > :07:16.Congress. Hailed as his most considered very and presidential to
:07:17. > :07:23.date. As a result, the stock markets hitting a record high. Are you
:07:24. > :07:28.surprised? It is all apple pie at the moment. Donald Trump very good
:07:29. > :07:31.shaping the narrative, linking himself to Brexit, talking about a
:07:32. > :07:34.guy who loves America, where the previous guy did not. He will be a
:07:35. > :07:42.president for business. Some economic forecasters calling it a
:07:43. > :07:48.fragile bloom. Talking about spending money on roads, gas
:07:49. > :07:50.pipelines, increasing the defence budget by $54 billion. It sounds
:07:51. > :07:55.great, but somebody has to pay for it. People are still spending on
:07:56. > :08:01.both sides of the pond could, but Andrew Milligan, head of strategy at
:08:02. > :08:04.standard life investments, investors remain concerned over the
:08:05. > :08:12.affordability of tax cuts, spending booms, and the consequences of
:08:13. > :08:21.protectionist trade. This author spending, something you might say
:08:22. > :08:25.she had with Democrat? He's not really a Republican, he is his own
:08:26. > :08:31.man. He was promising to spend on infrastructure, everybody in the 50
:08:32. > :08:37.states knows it is crumbling. He's doing what he said it would do. This
:08:38. > :08:42.is all tonal, because of the tone of the speech, so much more moderate, I
:08:43. > :08:47.want to bring people together on this great adventure. Two people
:08:48. > :08:53.have responded, Congress did, Congress intimating he will get his
:08:54. > :08:58.tax cuts pushed through. Secondly the markets respond. I would hope he
:08:59. > :09:04.would start engaging the brain before opening his mouth and
:09:05. > :09:07.pressing text button. He has suddenly thought to himself, when
:09:08. > :09:15.I'm a little bit more measured people do things I want. I hope the
:09:16. > :09:22.penny drops. The bar is set so low, that is why people are delighted. We
:09:23. > :09:31.haven't got time for you talk so much about Brexit. Do not start that
:09:32. > :09:38.again. A company bosses quitting amid claims of profit chilly
:09:39. > :09:49.profiteering. This used to drive me mad. This country has committed 0.7%
:09:50. > :09:55.of GDP, 14 billion, I'm sorry, 13 billion. Regardless of where it is
:09:56. > :10:01.spent, anything else, we are closing libraries at home, we will spend
:10:02. > :10:05.this money. Of its own, not a bad idea. The places and the way they
:10:06. > :10:11.are spending it is a waste of money. What it is doing here, the aid
:10:12. > :10:16.budget has doubled on what they spend on consultants. Not giving
:10:17. > :10:21.money to help starving kids in Sudan, ?1 billion a year increase
:10:22. > :10:29.since 2012 on consultants, paying themselves. I agree with you. The
:10:30. > :10:34.money is not going to people who need it in the nations we hope to
:10:35. > :10:37.trade with post-Brexit. People in Britain. Next time people in the
:10:38. > :10:41.Daily Mail complain about the aid budget, that at British companies
:10:42. > :10:45.making money off the back of it, not people in poorer countries. Since
:10:46. > :10:52.you mention the Daily Mail. Talk us through the front page. Policing in
:10:53. > :10:56.meltdown. Tens of thousands of crime suspects on the loose figures of
:10:57. > :11:00.near perilous policing. Lots of different ways of slicing it. The
:11:01. > :11:04.police do not know what they are doing. Inexperienced people running
:11:05. > :11:08.constabularies. Or the natural consequences in police budgets. It
:11:09. > :11:16.might be both, the devil is in the detail and confiscated. 46,000
:11:17. > :11:19.suspects now on the police wanted database, 343 sought for very
:11:20. > :11:25.serious crimes like murder and manslaughter. This is the reason why
:11:26. > :11:31.the Daily Mail see fit to put on the front page. It is a bit of both.
:11:32. > :11:38.Inefficiency and poor management, it is low morale, that is leadership,
:11:39. > :11:42.low morale. And it is going to be a lack of money. You put the three
:11:43. > :11:48.together, you get that. It is worrying. All right thrust in the
:11:49. > :11:54.studio talking about it. What about if you are one of the victims of the
:11:55. > :11:59.1012 rapists. I'm sure you enjoy talking to each other! I can't
:12:00. > :12:01.believe Digby is leaking what happened in the green room. That is
:12:02. > :12:06.against the rules. Many thanks. That's it for The Papers tonight
:12:07. > :12:12.before you go these front pages have Don't forget you can see the front
:12:13. > :12:16.pages of the papers online It's all there for you -
:12:17. > :12:34.seven days a week at bbc dot co uk Jimmy say, well done on the board.
:12:35. > :12:42.ABC News Channel of the year at the Royal television Society. A
:12:43. > :12:46.privilege to be with you. Good to talk to you, we will see you later.
