:00:00. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:21. > :00:24.With me are political commentator James Millar.
:00:25. > :00:28.And editorial director of the Sunday Times, Eleanor Mills.
:00:29. > :00:36.The front pages. I was going to tell you about the Sunday Times but that
:00:37. > :00:53.is the Observer. We will be talking about their story
:00:54. > :01:06.in our review. The Sunday Telegraph, Trump accuses Barack Obama. And Tony
:01:07. > :01:09.Blair's a story about a secret meeting about being a Middle East
:01:10. > :01:16.envoy. We are back to the Sunday Times. Stop business cuts to save
:01:17. > :01:24.the NHS says... Theresa May has been warned. And the Sunday express
:01:25. > :01:26.newspaper claims nearly ?150 million from the health budget was spent on
:01:27. > :01:35.overseas aid last year. Let's begin. We might have more
:01:36. > :01:40.success talking about it than watching the graphics! The Sunday
:01:41. > :01:44.Times. A traditional Sunday before the budget, hand-out from the
:01:45. > :01:59.Treasury, as to what they will do. What they are not going to do. The
:02:00. > :02:05.Chancellor Philip Hammond, it is looking like a fairly dull budget, I
:02:06. > :02:10.would say. 500 million for skills, which I do not think is terribly new
:02:11. > :02:16.and 1.3 billion to combat the social care crisis, which I think probably
:02:17. > :02:20.a lot will claim is not enough, all of which will be funded by Mork ats.
:02:21. > :02:23.How much room does he have to manoeuvre? Because the economy is
:02:24. > :02:29.doing better than people thought it was, he has a bit more than he
:02:30. > :02:35.thought stop he has 27 billion he thought he would not have and he
:02:36. > :02:39.said he will build up a war chest of 60 billion said that if there is any
:02:40. > :02:45.turbulence when we come out of the EU, he has a fighting fund. He wrote
:02:46. > :02:50.an article for the Sunday Times in which he talks about what he is
:02:51. > :02:54.trying to do. Saying after we leave the EU, we will need more skilled
:02:55. > :02:58.workers in the UK, we won't be able to import them. This is part of the
:02:59. > :03:10.big package about the other big story today, about T-levels, a
:03:11. > :03:14.replacement for A-levels. In his article in our comment pages he
:03:15. > :03:19.talks about how this is skilling up the nation and having a war chest in
:03:20. > :03:23.reserve. The piece is full of all those lovely cliches Chancellor 's
:03:24. > :03:30.love. Such as an economy that works for everyone. You could do
:03:31. > :03:33.Chancellor bingo. Also, I want to ensure the next generation is
:03:34. > :03:37.equipped to take advantage of opportunities. And he talks about
:03:38. > :03:41.needing an economy that competes with the world on the basis of
:03:42. > :03:48.superior talent and skills. I wanted to pick up on the T-levels. When I
:03:49. > :03:51.was young, you had a choice, to go to a technical college all the more
:03:52. > :03:56.academic route and we had lots of people the skills and we have lost
:03:57. > :04:00.that. What is interesting about T-levels, it is not a new policy and
:04:01. > :04:04.it shows how little he will announce because he is re-announcing this and
:04:05. > :04:08.giving it a new title of T-levels. They think they will pay people to
:04:09. > :04:13.stay in technical education, that now you get help from the government
:04:14. > :04:17.if you go to university and a loan, and people who stay doing technical
:04:18. > :04:24.qualifications until they are 19 will get the same financial support.
:04:25. > :04:27.There is a shift in emphasis. Our technical education is a joke and
:04:28. > :04:32.always has been. The fact they realise it will be crucial I think
:04:33. > :04:36.is important. They are talking the talk. I spoke to the schools
:04:37. > :04:40.minister and Labour front bench about this issue which is why I know
:04:41. > :04:44.it is not new. The question with this is you can talk the talk, you
:04:45. > :04:49.have got to walk the walk and that will cost cash. It does not happen
:04:50. > :04:53.tomorrow. You could put the exams in next year but it will take years for
:04:54. > :04:59.the young people to go through. I want to go to the front page of the
:05:00. > :05:09.Mail on Sunday newspaper. Tony Blair and a secret summit. I am going to
:05:10. > :05:13.spoil it for you. It says Mr Blair has made no such pitch to be the
:05:14. > :05:17.President's Middle East envoy neither has he had discussions on
:05:18. > :05:21.taking a role for the new president. He has been working on the peace
:05:22. > :05:27.process for ten years and does it in a private capacity and will continue
:05:28. > :05:32.to do it that way. That is a spokesperson for Tony Blair. We were
:05:33. > :05:39.discussing before we came on air. James said, where is paragraph 24
:05:40. > :05:44.when they say, not sure. It is not in the story but it has come later
:05:45. > :05:48.but still something interesting. What is interesting is the contacts
:05:49. > :05:56.between Tony Blair and Donald Trump's son-in-law. Ivanka Trump is
:05:57. > :06:04.friends with Tony Blair. They are part of a circle. There has been a
:06:05. > :06:08.series of meeting, definitely. This statement is interesting. It would
:06:09. > :06:12.make sense for Tony Blair who has been leading a Middle East policy
:06:13. > :06:15.for seven years to be briefing the person who will be leading on that
:06:16. > :06:26.for the White House with the Israelis. And this man of courses
:06:27. > :06:29.and Orthodox Jew. It would be understandable for him to speak to
:06:30. > :06:33.Tony Blair about what is going on. If you look at the rebuttal by the
:06:34. > :06:38.spokesperson and the language, he has made no such pitch to be the
:06:39. > :06:42.President's Middle East envoy, neither has he had discussions about
:06:43. > :06:48.taking such a role. It does not mean... The meetings have definitely
:06:49. > :06:52.happen. Contacts are being made. It does not fit with the big speech he
:06:53. > :06:57.made about Brexit, saying populism is on the rise and he will stand up
:06:58. > :07:04.for anti-Brexit, and now he is trying to be friendly with the
:07:05. > :07:07.Donald Trump White House when Donald Trump Brexit are often bracketed
:07:08. > :07:21.together as manifestations of the same food on -- same phenomenon.
:07:22. > :07:28.Blair was speaking at a big liberal elite powwow where George Osborne
:07:29. > :07:33.attended. We have heard about the manoeuvres by George Osborne and
:07:34. > :07:37.Tony Blair to maybe set up a more Pro-remain party and so it is
:07:38. > :07:43.interesting in the residue. We heard about the big beasts out of office
:07:44. > :07:51.who are now back in. Tony Blair loves America. He has always been
:07:52. > :08:02.slightly dazzled by America. Not just America. American presidents.
:08:03. > :08:11.He loves a bit of the west wing. The Telegraph, are the -- the ordering,
:08:12. > :08:16.he says, of the tapping of phones before the election in October. This
:08:17. > :08:27.is Donald Trump on Twitter. On a Saturday morning. Really early in
:08:28. > :08:31.the morning. Every Saturday morning. Manna from Heaven for the Sunday
:08:32. > :08:33.papers because we know every Sunday there will be Donald Trump on
:08:34. > :08:41.Twitter doing something amazing. This time he accuses Obama of
:08:42. > :08:45.tapping phones in Trump Tower. There is a slightly weaselly denial from
:08:46. > :08:54.Obama's Lott saying presidents can never ordered directly wiretaps, not
:08:55. > :09:01.saying it. It is a judicial issue, tapping wires. Exactly. He will not
:09:02. > :09:06.say where the information came from. The Obama team have a solid defence.
:09:07. > :09:10.Saying the president cannot do this. It is not up to him. It is not to
:09:11. > :09:13.say somebody didn't approve it and it did not happen somewhere but
:09:14. > :09:17.Obama seems to be in the clear and the bottom line is, if you look at
:09:18. > :09:23.Obama and Donald Trump, who would you trust? It is pretty
:09:24. > :09:29.straightforward. I read the only possible place it would come from is
:09:30. > :09:35.Breitbart News. Trump was reading a story on Breitbart News which is
:09:36. > :09:40.when he started tweeting. The background is Donald Trump and his
:09:41. > :09:43.people are furious at what they see Obamacare's or the Democrat
:09:44. > :09:48.influence in the security services linking this stuff about Russia.
:09:49. > :09:53.Donald Trump did not endear himself to the security services when he
:09:54. > :09:58.arrived. Probably a mistake. I think we said that at the time. With what
:09:59. > :10:04.is coming out it invariably turns out to be true and people need to
:10:05. > :10:07.know. He has lost his national security adviser and his Attorney
:10:08. > :10:11.General is having to retreat. Trump had a tantrum in the oval office
:10:12. > :10:19.according to a report because of that. How could he have an Attorney
:10:20. > :10:22.General scene to be not telling the truth on over? We could do the whole
:10:23. > :10:32.half-hour on Donald Trump. The Observer. The watchdog probe over
:10:33. > :10:38.data misuse. A hot topic. Is this exciting enough to be a splash? Do
:10:39. > :10:44.those stories get you excited? Particularly the way it is written.
:10:45. > :10:54.It is obscure. It is a bit wonky. A quick summary. The Observer have
:10:55. > :10:59.followed this, a company who they say make grandiose claims. To be
:11:00. > :11:06.fair to them it is often the Observer making grandiose claims. It
:11:07. > :11:10.is the idea that to hoover up all your Facebook likes and online
:11:11. > :11:14.activity and they can work out what sort of person you are, how you are
:11:15. > :11:18.likely to vote, and what messages you are susceptible to and they
:11:19. > :11:24.pushed the messages to you. That is the modern world. It is a bit of
:11:25. > :11:31.that social media, be afraid. I do not think they can change
:11:32. > :11:34.people'sbrains via the media. But there are issues about data
:11:35. > :11:42.protection and issues that need to be investigated. If you like
:11:43. > :11:47.something on Facebook, should the Donald Trump team, the Tories,
:11:48. > :11:52.Labour, whoever see that? You get things popping up because you looked
:11:53. > :11:58.at a holiday somewhere. The Times newspaper had a story about those
:11:59. > :12:02.adverts popping up on all sorts of things, car videos, Islamic State
:12:03. > :12:06.videos. The way you are tracked around the internet is fascinating
:12:07. > :12:10.but I do not think it is good on that that where the Observer has
:12:11. > :12:15.been good is analysing the ecosystem of fake news and how they drench the
:12:16. > :12:24.internet with right wing propaganda and fed it. Most people, I am
:12:25. > :12:31.thinking about my mother, they would not know that is being thrown up. In
:12:32. > :12:36.journalistic terms, the case of the presentation of this, it is as clear
:12:37. > :12:40.as mud what they are after. The key to Facebook and the reason people
:12:41. > :12:45.believe the stories is it becomes from friends and family, not because
:12:46. > :12:51.it is a computer saying this is a story you are interested in. We are
:12:52. > :12:59.in trouble. We need to go to Facebook! The Sunday Times. This
:13:00. > :13:03.will provoke a lot of comment. Jenni Murray said changing sex cannot make
:13:04. > :13:06.a real woman and the quote, too many men who changed sex model themselves
:13:07. > :13:12.on the male view of what a woman should be. I'm sorry, I am the
:13:13. > :13:18.editor of the Sunday Times Magazine and it is in my magazine today, by
:13:19. > :13:22.Jenni Murray, the trans, be proud, but do not call yourself a real
:13:23. > :13:27.woman is the headline. It came from a discussion we had when I was on
:13:28. > :13:38.Woman's Hour. We were talking about this. There is disquiet among quite
:13:39. > :13:42.a lot of women about men who change themselves physically into a female
:13:43. > :13:45.form and then claim to be women. What Jenni Murray argues in this
:13:46. > :13:52.piece is there is a history of becoming a woman which is often
:13:53. > :13:56.about being treated as a second-class citizen, not having the
:13:57. > :14:01.same rights as men, being judged on your appearance, not being listened
:14:02. > :14:06.to. She says when men transition to become women, a lot of them, not
:14:07. > :14:10.all, have no idea about the sexual politics, feminism, some of the
:14:11. > :14:15.battles women have had to get them where they are. She mentions female
:14:16. > :14:23.vicars and a man who had been a vicar who became... Had a sex change
:14:24. > :14:27.and became a female vicar and who paid absolutely no attention, did
:14:28. > :14:33.not pay tribute to the women who campaigned hard within the church to
:14:34. > :14:38.allow that to be possible. She is not saying they should not change.
:14:39. > :14:43.She is not being like Jermaine Gray, saying they are fake women in that
:14:44. > :14:50.rather crude way, she goes out of her way to attack that -- Greer. It
:14:51. > :14:54.is talking about what it means to be a woman and how you get there and
:14:55. > :14:58.how these men do not necessarily understand. It will be interesting
:14:59. > :15:04.to hear from these men if they feel that when they become women. A lot
:15:05. > :15:07.of the men, in the magazine piece, they do agree with Jenni Murray and
:15:08. > :15:11.say having lived as women they understand there is a whole thing
:15:12. > :15:15.around being a woman they have not understood, which is why it is an
:15:16. > :15:19.interesting piece. Transgender people do know something about
:15:20. > :15:28.struggle. A different struggle, but I don't think... You certainly have
:15:29. > :15:31.to be careful about dismissing the unique problems they have is a
:15:32. > :15:36.community and in terms of getting to where they are now. Jenni Murray is
:15:37. > :15:39.not doing that, she is saying a lot of the men who transition do not
:15:40. > :15:43.have a particularly good understanding of a lot of women's
:15:44. > :15:47.issues and she is specific about what she is talking about. We will
:15:48. > :15:55.leave that because we want to get to the big story of the morning. The
:15:56. > :16:00.cauliflower! This is exciting new and it has excited me because I like
:16:01. > :16:04.cauliflower. Do you, James? Take it or leave it but I don't like farmers
:16:05. > :16:14.having to plough up the field because the cauliflowers have not
:16:15. > :16:20.been eaten. This is the cauliflower fathers of Thanet. -- farmers of
:16:21. > :16:23.Thanet. They said they will have to plough their lovely cauliflowers
:16:24. > :16:31.back because there is a glut of cauliflowers because it has been so
:16:32. > :16:37.warm. Lots of cauliflowers from -- on British shells from Spain. This
:16:38. > :16:43.is a plea for British people to buy British cauliflowers and eat them. I
:16:44. > :16:47.did not know I was not buying a British cauliflower. I am from
:16:48. > :16:51.Northern Ireland and we always eat local produce. We have had the issue
:16:52. > :16:56.of the lack of courgettes because of the weather in Spain. Swap the
:16:57. > :17:04.courgettes for a British cauliflower. Cauliflower cheese.
:17:05. > :17:08.Cauliflower rice. Cauliflower pizza. Our resident cauliflower expert. We
:17:09. > :17:11.will leave it on that note because Twitter will be awash with
:17:12. > :17:21.cauliflower recipes. Thanks for joining us. We look at tomorrow's
:17:22. > :17:34.from pages every evening on BBC News Hour. And let's look at the weather.
:17:35. > :17:36.Here is Sarah. It is a mixture of rain and hill snow across many
:17:37. > :17:37.parts. We have
