:00:18. > :00:21.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:22. > :00:24.With me are Ben Riley-Smith, Deputy Political Editor

:00:25. > :00:26.of The Telegraph and John Crowley, Editor in Chief of

:00:27. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages...starting with...

:00:29. > :00:33.The Daily Express leads with a 'new tax on inheritance'.

:00:34. > :00:35.The paper says a "death tax" is among policies being presented

:00:36. > :00:39.to Theresa May to help combat the cost of caring for older people.

:00:40. > :00:41.The lead story of the Telegraph explains that scientists have

:00:42. > :00:43.successfully created an embryo using only stem cells

:00:44. > :00:50.The Mirror leads with a report which reveals four in five

:00:51. > :01:05.Guardian has an exclusive interview with the head of MI6. The Daily Mail

:01:06. > :01:11.leads with the plague of the fly-tippers, an epidemic.

:01:12. > :01:13.Snap's debut on the New York Stock Exchange is the top story

:01:14. > :01:17.It says shares in Snapchat's parent company soared more than 40per cent,

:01:18. > :01:21.'Pay as you learn' is the main headline in The I, which says some

:01:22. > :01:24.schools are asking parents to pay ?600 to cover costs for course

:01:25. > :01:39.The Times says British taxpayers will help to fund a private army to

:01:40. > :01:50.protect NEPs as part of a record spending spree by the European

:01:51. > :01:55.Parliament next year. What will we go with? The Tories said Nicola

:01:56. > :02:02.Sturgeon should face bigger loss and second referendum. The suggestion is

:02:03. > :02:05.from Ruth Davidson, the leader of the Conservatives in Scotland, that

:02:06. > :02:09.if she pushes ahead with the second independence referendum, they will

:02:10. > :02:15.lose even worse than they did before? We don't quite know what

:02:16. > :02:21.basing this on. The Pauling doesn't suggest that? It doesn't. I don't

:02:22. > :02:25.think she will be disappointed to hear this because she's taking the

:02:26. > :02:29.battle on their ground. This was supposed to be put to bed fairly

:02:30. > :02:33.generation in 2014. Two or three years later and here we are talking

:02:34. > :02:39.about a "I don't think Nicola Sturgeon will mind the Conservatives

:02:40. > :02:42.saying this. Brexit has opened this can of worms again, but Scottish

:02:43. > :02:46.voters will probably have to look at the maths of the currency and

:02:47. > :02:53.economy even more closely because they are not part of, leaving a

:02:54. > :02:58.country that has already left the European Union. Absolutely and that

:02:59. > :03:00.is sought-after till really second referendum would move up because it

:03:01. > :03:07.is moving so swiftly right now that the Unionists would certainly say,

:03:08. > :03:09.listen, 2014 when you lost you said you had billions of pounds of our

:03:10. > :03:16.money and no you don't have that revenue, you said you were going to

:03:17. > :03:21.be able to keep Scotland in the EU, we are leaving the EU but do you

:03:22. > :03:25.want to break up a whole other union? Things have deteriorated in

:03:26. > :03:27.Scottish finances over the last couple of years and those problems

:03:28. > :03:36.remain the same, what currency would they use? What will happen on the

:03:37. > :03:42.border where trade passes so freely? Those unanswered questions just a

:03:43. > :03:50.significant. Does the possibility of a second vote figure in any way high

:03:51. > :03:54.up the agenda for Theresa May, when she's going through the

:03:55. > :04:00.negotiations, is that at the back of her mind? Possibly not high enough.

:04:01. > :04:02.Theresa May says the first thing I did when I became Prime Minister was

:04:03. > :04:09.go straight up to Scotland because I believe in it so much. When you talk

:04:10. > :04:13.to Theresa May's ministers, very really do they bring up the fact

:04:14. > :04:15.that they need to think of Scotland's interests and the

:04:16. > :04:20.Scottish angle for every one of these moving parts, so they would be

:04:21. > :04:26.but that, but you don't get that feeling walking around Westminster.

:04:27. > :04:29.Artificial life created in the lab. Cracking story on the front of the

:04:30. > :04:40.Telegraph. Probably scary for some as well? Yes. This is about managing

:04:41. > :04:45.to create, and this applies to mice, a leading mouse embryo without using

:04:46. > :04:52.spare or an egg, so a petri dish, even moving beyond spare and eggs

:04:53. > :04:55.vary your fusing together sells, so what is interesting is that

:04:56. > :05:01.currently leftover embryos must be destroyed after 14 days. This raises

:05:02. > :05:06.the notion that if this is being done on an industrial scale, and it

:05:07. > :05:11.may be an opportunity for the scientific industry to investigate

:05:12. > :05:20.more, but it raises moral questions about life so it may be saving lives

:05:21. > :05:24.by a world we want to? Exactly, because the ethical considerations

:05:25. > :05:32.in all of this, scientists can do amazing things and the life without

:05:33. > :05:37.sperm and eggs, but it raises so many more questions? It is mind

:05:38. > :05:42.boggling so I will not be able to shed too much more light but judging

:05:43. > :05:47.by the people quoted, this is a breakthrough and science at its

:05:48. > :05:50.best. Cambridge scientists. Something hugely significant this

:05:51. > :05:53.year and at the end of the article it actually talks about how good

:05:54. > :05:58.Britain is that this kind of thing, we were the guys who created Dolly

:05:59. > :06:02.the sheep and last year British scientists were given permission to

:06:03. > :06:09.genetically modify human embryos, the first in the world. Something

:06:10. > :06:15.fantastic. Scientists and priests may have something to say about it.

:06:16. > :06:21.The story is getting hotter than America with the US law chief forced

:06:22. > :06:26.out of enquiry into Russian links. Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General,

:06:27. > :06:29.said in a confirmation hearing he hadn't had contact with the Russians

:06:30. > :06:33.and it transpired he has and he has had to recuse himself from the

:06:34. > :06:46.investigation into the links between the campaign and Russian... Spies,

:06:47. > :06:49.ambassadors. All the above! It is an interesting story and reason so many

:06:50. > :06:56.questions about what those links exactly are between the tram

:06:57. > :06:59.campaign and Russia. Another of those jaw-dropping moments and at

:07:00. > :07:03.some point you think the bandwagon will have to calm down, possibly

:07:04. > :07:09.less conciliatory speech was the moment, and then this phenomenal

:07:10. > :07:13.point where Jeff Sessions, his Attorney General, first under oath

:07:14. > :07:19.when being tried out for the Yule said he hadn't had any contact with

:07:20. > :07:25.senior Russians. Now it has emerged these two ambassadors he has had

:07:26. > :07:28.contact with, he said he will recuse himself from any investigation into

:07:29. > :07:33.the tram campaign, but interestingly he didn't say it was because he had

:07:34. > :07:36.links, but because I was part of the trompe campaigns or should step

:07:37. > :07:46.away. It feels like one who will run and run. You have got an alert that

:07:47. > :07:52.plays the Star Spangled Banner whenever Donald Trump tweets and he

:07:53. > :07:56.hasn't tweeted on this? He hasn't, and maybe that is the lack of

:07:57. > :08:01.support you may looking for and we were looking and the way to check

:08:02. > :08:08.that, has he tweeted it out? What was interesting about this is he

:08:09. > :08:14.stood traditionally in front of a podium. Tonight. Donald Trump would

:08:15. > :08:22.have done that, gone on to Twitter and shouted down, so 40 days into

:08:23. > :08:25.Donald Trump's rain and it feels like a state of permanent resolution

:08:26. > :08:32.where he is fighting battles all the time! First-day lead yesterday. He

:08:33. > :08:39.has given up for Lent, that is at! That is he hasn't tweeted! Jesus

:08:40. > :08:44.walked in the wilderness for 40 days, you have a president with a

:08:45. > :08:48.messiah complex staggering from one thing to another. There is a

:08:49. > :08:56.metaphor somewhere! You have it here first. In 40 days each week but you

:08:57. > :09:08.might be late. Still with the Guardian, the new MI6 boss, less

:09:09. > :09:11.white and less like James Bond. This is good. This is a very interesting

:09:12. > :09:15.piece from the Guardian where they now think he should be able to do

:09:16. > :09:22.the tap on the shoulder, but they want to get away from those Oxbridge

:09:23. > :09:29.types in the old days. Now they want to broaden the Tote to the wider

:09:30. > :09:33.community, and a good thing too. It makes perfect sense and the diverse

:09:34. > :09:38.workforce is by a lot of measures very productive. Two really

:09:39. > :09:43.interesting bits, the first is not saying they need to become more

:09:44. > :09:47.diverse, he is actually seeing our normal system applications isn't

:09:48. > :09:55.working. We need to go to wonder you tap people on the shoulder. Target

:09:56. > :09:59.people specifically. The quote and not wanting these James Bond types

:10:00. > :10:05.to come. He says you're getting this surge of people based on the James

:10:06. > :10:08.Bond fantasy, he says they may well be witty as a revolver but that is

:10:09. > :10:16.not we are looking for. People are coming up. As long as we still get

:10:17. > :10:25.to have gadgets and use them. You can't be aspired not have an Aston

:10:26. > :10:33.Martin! Onto the times. Taxpayers must fund Brussels Private army. A

:10:34. > :10:40.spending spree, from the times, when it comes to Brussels. Before the UK

:10:41. > :10:46.exits they want to get a bit more money out of this. That is the

:10:47. > :10:51.implication. Estimates seen by the Times show the parliament budget

:10:52. > :11:00.rising to, what is that figure? 2 billion. Above inflation increase of

:11:01. > :11:08.3.3%, so you can imagine with 52% of the population how that will go

:11:09. > :11:15.down. Indeed. We still face a bell. 40-60,000,000,000. That is what

:11:16. > :11:19.Brussels are asking is for. They have left open the possibility we

:11:20. > :11:23.will continue to pay something into the EU to get some kind of access,

:11:24. > :11:30.so the idea that the minute Article 50s triggered we stop paying, that

:11:31. > :11:34.will not happen. Even when we're out of the EU we may still be paying

:11:35. > :11:40.and, her only demand that it will not be vast amounts. It says private

:11:41. > :11:48.army, is that what they are really talking about. In-house unit of 46

:11:49. > :11:57.bodyguards and security personnel. Hardly a private army. Sounds more

:11:58. > :12:04.like a security unit. An entourage. The EU army is such a red flag!

:12:05. > :12:16.Incredibly loaded. Onto the Daily Mail. Plague of the fly-tippers!

:12:17. > :12:23.Cases cost ?1 million a year. Dumping on an industrial scale. It

:12:24. > :12:29.is a very Daily Mail story. It is a scourge on the country and I don't

:12:30. > :12:36.think you will find anyone disagreeing. There is another issue

:12:37. > :12:40.where collections as well, every two weeks. Getting less and less than a

:12:41. > :12:43.lot of people complaining about councils that when you want to drop

:12:44. > :12:51.things off the not picking things up so people are falling back to this.

:12:52. > :12:56.Onto one of the other red tops, I suppose. The Daily Express, a new

:12:57. > :13:00.tax on inheritance, outrage at plans to help solve the social care

:13:01. > :13:08.crisis. The Daily Mail with its little investigation and pet peeve,

:13:09. > :13:13.the Daily Express with its own as well, this idea of a death tax.

:13:14. > :13:18.Knocking around for a couple of days, something Gordon Brown pitched

:13:19. > :13:23.in the 2010 election. How do we deal with the social care crisis? That

:13:24. > :13:27.when a loved one passes away you can use some of their property and pay

:13:28. > :13:31.back the social care they were getting before the Tories

:13:32. > :13:39.successfully done this a death tax and hammered at home on the doorstep

:13:40. > :13:43.and help them get over the line. Seven years later, the social care

:13:44. > :13:46.crisis still remains unsolved. One of the idea is supposedly being put

:13:47. > :13:50.to Theresa May is that possible you can do something in this bulk of

:13:51. > :13:54.cash, but ultimately it is left behind when somebody passes away.

:13:55. > :14:01.The idea is being put to Theresa May. I can't see the government... I

:14:02. > :14:08.would be amazed at the Treasury is suggesting it. Certainly not on the

:14:09. > :14:15.front of the Daily Express, the world's greatest newspaper! The

:14:16. > :14:20.Financial Times, with two little boys snap chatting. Good headline

:14:21. > :14:30.would have been snap, crackle and pop. Maybe not in the Financial

:14:31. > :14:37.Times, but its IPO today, 40% leaked, everybody rushed in, so the

:14:38. > :14:44.lady that looks after my children, in her early 20s, she sent me my

:14:45. > :14:51.first snap chat last year, and we went OK, what do you mean by this?

:14:52. > :14:56.She went, that is the message, it is the picture. We think in words and

:14:57. > :15:01.they are sending orgies and emotions and it is all about images, and the

:15:02. > :15:07.reason why everyone is piling into this is because we have seen 150

:15:08. > :15:14.million people around the world you snap chat every day. 10 million in

:15:15. > :15:20.the UK. Advertisers desperately want to get words in front of them. It is

:15:21. > :15:23.losing money hand over fist but the idea is that then the line it will

:15:24. > :15:31.make lots of money because young people are into it. It is losing

:15:32. > :15:37.money every day. On the first day of Twitter's IPO they jumped by 73% and

:15:38. > :15:46.they have fallen a lot more since then. Remember Bebo, that was the

:15:47. > :15:54.great thing before Facebook. MySpace. I like old punchy

:15:55. > :16:03.typewriters. Can't go wrong with that. And it doesn't disappear after

:16:04. > :16:04.ten seconds either. Good to see you. Thanks for that.

:16:05. > :16:09.Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

:16:10. > :16:44.The winter months were quite dry, the 1st of March is trying to turn

:16:45. > :16:49.that around and for Friday, rain spreading north to most areas as the

:16:50. > :16:51.day goes on, looking pretty unsettled,
