:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:18. > :00:21.With me will be the former Labour Party adviser and comedian,

:00:22. > :00:28.Ayesha Hazarika and the Conservative commentator, Tim Montgomerie.

:00:29. > :00:31.The i says National Insurance rates could increase

:00:32. > :00:33.for self-employed people as the Chancellor Phillip Hammond

:00:34. > :00:36.seeks to raise up to three billion pounds to fund social care.

:00:37. > :00:39.The Financial Times leads with comments from Peugeot's chief

:00:40. > :00:42.executive, who said a 'hard Brexit' that incurs import tariffs could be

:00:43. > :00:45.a 'nice opportunity' for the company to develop their suppliers

:00:46. > :00:50.Scientists could be able to develop a single pill to help

:00:51. > :00:55.regulate blood pressure, The Express says, after their

:00:56. > :00:57.research showed a link between the brain and hypertension.

:00:58. > :00:59.Theresa May announces new grammar school plans in the Telegraph,

:01:00. > :01:02.that will help to end what she claims is the 'brutal

:01:03. > :01:07.and unacceptable' truth of selection by income.

:01:08. > :01:14.The Guardian has the same story. The paper says some free schools could

:01:15. > :01:19.opt to select pupils based on academic merit. The Daily Mail says

:01:20. > :01:23.there will also be funding to help some children from low income

:01:24. > :01:26.families to travel to selected schools. The row between President

:01:27. > :01:31.Trump and the former FBI director James Comey, who is still the FBI

:01:32. > :01:32.director, by the way, over wiretapping allegations, is the

:01:33. > :01:38.front page story in the Times. And front page story in the Times. And

:01:39. > :01:41.the daily Star reports that three televised jabbing slick football

:01:42. > :01:45.will soon disappear as beauty sports Centre 1.2 billion deal to screen

:01:46. > :01:55.all matches. Champions League football has disappeared from

:01:56. > :02:12.Manchester United. That was cruel. You will be back.

:02:13. > :02:21.The express, may warns Lord not to wreck EU deal. She turned up last

:02:22. > :02:26.week, was at last week for the week before? To make sure that

:02:27. > :02:31.understood. She sat there in the majestic glory, casting an eye over

:02:32. > :02:36.them. This looks like a pre-emptive strike against the Lords who might

:02:37. > :02:39.well give another defeat and they are trying to send a message saying

:02:40. > :02:44.do not mess with us because this could mess up the deal. I think that

:02:45. > :02:51.is a bit outlandish. The idea that giving more scrutiny, that

:02:52. > :02:56.parliamentarians would want to vote for a bad deal for the EU, I think

:02:57. > :03:01.that posturing is a bit much. Even people who are very strongly remain

:03:02. > :03:05.would not want to go against the best interests of the country and I

:03:06. > :03:11.think most people have accepted Brexit is happening. It is more

:03:12. > :03:16.complicated, because if there is a mechanism whereby the deal can be

:03:17. > :03:20.rejected, then Theresa May is saying that gives Europe and incentive not

:03:21. > :03:24.to give Britain a good deal because if they give Britain a bad thing it

:03:25. > :03:30.is more likely to be rejected and so they have the incentive to cooperate

:03:31. > :03:36.in the negotiations. That is why and the idea that the Liberal Democrats

:03:37. > :03:40.are proposing of a second referendum actually undermines, potentially

:03:41. > :03:44.fatally, the negotiating position. What happened on the article 50

:03:45. > :03:50.vote, how many people went against it? A very small number. The truth

:03:51. > :03:53.is, most parliamentarians, even though the might not personally be

:03:54. > :03:57.comfortable with it, they are democrats and that food should they

:03:58. > :04:06.would not go against it. Apart from the Democrats. -- Liberal Democrats.

:04:07. > :04:10.They are quite small. Nobody really knows how the negotiations are going

:04:11. > :04:14.to shake down and everybody is doing a lot of speculation, if we do this

:04:15. > :04:18.and that they were sent a bad signal and they will use that against us.

:04:19. > :04:26.The will use lots of things against us. That is the cut and thrust of

:04:27. > :04:32.negotiating. Let's move on. If you should achieve different kerchief

:04:33. > :04:37.pledges to deepen UK presence. Pearce is the French company. They

:04:38. > :04:43.have taken over. There is the fear that they might decide to cost cup

:04:44. > :04:47.and, as a result, some British jobs will go. The suggestion is a hard

:04:48. > :04:52.Brexit might make things more interesting. You should clearly and

:04:53. > :04:59.kicking quite a bit of public relations hearing. There is a big

:05:00. > :05:05.worry at the top of government about the car industry after Brexit. We

:05:06. > :05:13.have had Apple, Facebook, the technology firms, investing and that

:05:14. > :05:23.is an industry we can be confident has a good future whatever

:05:24. > :05:27.negotiations have transpired. The supply chain for the car industry is

:05:28. > :05:31.spread over several countries and people are worried it could disrupt

:05:32. > :05:34.the supply chain is a Brexit negotiations are doing well. Peugeot

:05:35. > :05:41.are saying they are committed to Britain. Because they are committed

:05:42. > :05:47.to Britain, they will invest in the component chain in our country. Even

:05:48. > :05:53.after a hard Brexit. Peugeot even if they played however, they could get

:05:54. > :05:58.if few sweeteners. Nissan did. That is what they are hoping for. People

:05:59. > :06:02.are optimistic, but that is concerned about what happen after

:06:03. > :06:10.2021 when they decide about where the new generation of cards will be

:06:11. > :06:13.manufactured. Also, I think what Tim said is right about the car

:06:14. > :06:21.manufacturing industry, because these companies like Facebook, the

:06:22. > :06:23.big trendy tech companies, they don't like they are comfortable

:06:24. > :06:28.here, but there is a political message the government will want to

:06:29. > :06:33.get out these blue-collar jobs, the manufacturing jobs they are saying

:06:34. > :06:38.we will try to be a country that build things again, it is perverted

:06:39. > :06:41.back control. It will a shiver across the country if it looks like

:06:42. > :06:45.some of these manufacturing jobs are at risk. They will do everything

:06:46. > :06:52.they can to show that is not the case. Our tax system, Labour laws,

:06:53. > :06:55.the skills of a lot of our workforce, in the released in

:06:56. > :06:59.particular, they have been making cars to a high standard for a long

:07:00. > :07:03.time and any fractures are comfortable with the expertise of

:07:04. > :07:07.the British Labour market. Uncertainty is happening because of

:07:08. > :07:12.Brexit but sometimes undersell ourselves as a nation and some of

:07:13. > :07:17.the qualities that we do have. You also have elections in Germany and

:07:18. > :07:20.France and you will have trade union leaders and others in industry in

:07:21. > :07:34.those countries lobbying prospective candidates to say Peugeot, do you

:07:35. > :07:40.know? The pressure will be there. Mr Trump, you cannot get through The

:07:41. > :07:46.Papers without talking about him. His new travel order bans citizens

:07:47. > :07:51.from six Muslim nations, Iraq has been taken off the list. The

:07:52. > :07:54.suggestion is, from the administration, that they will get

:07:55. > :08:00.this through the courts. It is difficult to see what has changed.

:08:01. > :08:04.They have taken Iraq of the list. Interestingly, Saudi Arabia is still

:08:05. > :08:09.not on the list and that is a huge generator of terrorism and they have

:08:10. > :08:13.said they will be more security for people who have visas and green

:08:14. > :08:20.cards and they will give people ten days to start preparing for it. I

:08:21. > :08:25.can see this being accepted without any pushback. I think they will face

:08:26. > :08:28.the same judicial resistance to gain and the same civil disobedience as

:08:29. > :08:35.well. I think this will be Muslim and Mark two. The problem is that he

:08:36. > :08:40.has is that he said on the campaign trail, barn and some have suggested

:08:41. > :08:47.Muslim Kim stood before the word ban were in the same sentence. Those two

:08:48. > :08:51.words were there. He simply cannot say I am going to make the vetting

:08:52. > :08:56.of Maastricht. You cannot simply say I will make it tougher for these

:08:57. > :09:01.people, he has to have the word ban in there. He has painted himself

:09:02. > :09:08.into a corner. He will insist, because he needs to get this through

:09:09. > :09:15.the courts, but it is not a Muslim band, radio Giuliani said to him

:09:16. > :09:18.that Donald Trump wants is a Muslim band so how does he make it legal?

:09:19. > :09:24.The courts are not stupid. They will note that evidence and they might

:09:25. > :09:29.well strike it down. There will also be an awareness, as much as some of

:09:30. > :09:33.us worry about what this means for relations between west and the

:09:34. > :09:38.Muslim world, this is a popular policy amongst the people who voted

:09:39. > :09:41.for Trump. This is exactly the kind of policy that they wanted when they

:09:42. > :09:46.put in the White House. Regardless of the fact that the flak he will

:09:47. > :09:53.get from governments around the world, he is committed to this.

:09:54. > :09:56.There is a suggestion that his popularity has come up amongst

:09:57. > :10:01.Republicans as a result of this. Could this be different this front

:10:02. > :10:09.page of The Times. Trump hits out FBI. Yes, the party faithful will

:10:10. > :10:14.love him bashing President Obama but said the president and the FBI acted

:10:15. > :10:20.illegally, that is a whole different kettle of fish, isn't it? I am more

:10:21. > :10:26.interested in how Barack Obama looks like he walked out of the net in

:10:27. > :10:33.70s. He looks like he is in a 70s cop show. It is amazing. That is

:10:34. > :10:37.what happens when you have to worry about is what shade of leather

:10:38. > :10:45.jacket you are going to wear, rather than what to do about Kim Jong Un. I

:10:46. > :10:48.was in America last year for the times and the number of times Trump

:10:49. > :10:53.said something controversial under the bus is it, you cannot accuse

:10:54. > :10:56.John McGinn of being a failure because he was a prisoner of war.

:10:57. > :11:01.When he mocked the disabled reporter. My mum would send me to

:11:02. > :11:09.bed without such a thing without key. Making up a claim that Obama

:11:10. > :11:16.wiretapped does seem like a step too far, but as President... He is

:11:17. > :11:21.saying that the FBI is lying and you have the head of the FBI, James

:11:22. > :11:27.Connolly, sent this did not happen. He is basically saying Trump made it

:11:28. > :11:32.up. I think the cost to Trump of this is that there will be a moment

:11:33. > :11:35.of national emergency when he will lead people to rally around him and

:11:36. > :11:38.trust in to make a difficult decision and people would give him

:11:39. > :11:42.the benefit of the doubt for I don't think it will hurt politically

:11:43. > :11:45.amongst his supporters because they accept that most politicians I

:11:46. > :11:50.exaggerate. They just think Trump does it in a more celebrity way.

:11:51. > :11:56.They give him the benefit of the doubt on the politics of it. I will

:11:57. > :12:03.never forget the Bush administration official in 2000 for telling a bunch

:12:04. > :12:07.of us journalists that the problem with the journalist is he exist in a

:12:08. > :12:13.fact -based universe. We make our own facts. I didn't really

:12:14. > :12:19.understand what they were saying. I do understand that now. This is the

:12:20. > :12:26.incarnate of all of this. Come on, this is the president now. He has

:12:27. > :12:31.not changed from the street fighter on the campaign trail to the fact

:12:32. > :12:34.that he is now president of the United States and that is something

:12:35. > :12:41.that his fans will like. One gets the impression he is doubling down

:12:42. > :12:46.on shooting from the hip, sent by the likes. He has advisers who go

:12:47. > :12:50.out and say we are briefing, not wrong facts, alternative facts. That

:12:51. > :12:54.is the world we live in. With Hillary Clinton, the through and

:12:55. > :13:01.through mud at the fact she was a terrific criminal, you are going to

:13:02. > :13:06.jail and it stuck. I think, as much as we think the Obama thing is

:13:07. > :13:10.crazy, I think they will double down on this as a strategy and they will

:13:11. > :13:18.want to tarnish his name. They will have two because he said Obama

:13:19. > :13:25.bugged my place. The budget tax rise. Only a couple of days before

:13:26. > :13:33.the red box is opened. The big story in the budget is going to be social

:13:34. > :13:38.care and how we try to blog plug the gap. It looks like Hammond is

:13:39. > :13:41.planning a tax rise on the self-employed and it looks like it

:13:42. > :13:46.will be difficult for him to push politically. I have already seen

:13:47. > :13:51.stuff in the sun about how he is targeting the white van man, the

:13:52. > :13:55.honest person with the small business, why is he not gone after

:13:56. > :13:59.the fat cats? He will have to be careful because it could be a bit,

:14:00. > :14:05.remember the past the tax? It went badly wrong. I think this could give

:14:06. > :14:10.them problems. We are running out of time. Onto the Telegraph. Don of

:14:11. > :14:17.grammar schools, paperback. We were talking about this before. I thought

:14:18. > :14:22.Theresa May had concluded on this. It was a big part of her early term

:14:23. > :14:25.as Prime Minister and it wasn't received especially well by a lot of

:14:26. > :14:29.Conservative MPs and there were worries about whether she could get

:14:30. > :14:33.it through Parliament and that she was backpedalling, but the

:14:34. > :14:37.suggestion in The Papers is not at all, some serious money will be put

:14:38. > :14:40.into free schools from independent schools that parents and others can

:14:41. > :14:46.set up, but these would be allowed to become selective and therefore

:14:47. > :14:54.grammar schools. She is gone ahead. Also in the Telegraph, Hague urges

:14:55. > :14:59.early election. This is fascinating. We have been speculative about

:15:00. > :15:01.whether this would happen. There is an irresistible urge for Theresa May

:15:02. > :15:08.to call an early election, especially because Her Majesty's

:15:09. > :15:09.opposition is having a slight moment. It is opposing its self at

:15:10. > :15:26.the moment. Hague is urging this, but I think

:15:27. > :15:30.Theresa May is a woman famed for her caution and I think she will not

:15:31. > :15:35.want to get trapped in the Gordon Brown thing where you get hair is

:15:36. > :15:38.running about an early election and it kills you. I would personally

:15:39. > :15:42.have an early election because wipe-out when you have Jeremy Corbyn

:15:43. > :15:48.as Leader of the Opposition? The difference is if the Lords or

:15:49. > :15:52.someone like something that matters, if she has a pretext, she will go

:15:53. > :16:01.for it, but she doesn't want is to have left the door open to it and

:16:02. > :16:03.people are just speculating about when it will be. Once the

:16:04. > :16:11.speculative starts it is uncontrollable. Finally, the daily

:16:12. > :16:17.Star, 1.2 billion pound snatch of the day. BT paid ?1.2 billion the

:16:18. > :16:34.screen the Champions League games. Terrestrial TV viewers cannot get

:16:35. > :16:41.it. It is a shame. What beauty are doing is they are copying sky. This

:16:42. > :16:48.guy, nobody knew how they would work but the exhibited. It was live

:16:49. > :16:53.football on Skype that made the satellite channel survive. BT, they

:16:54. > :16:57.are fighting for their survival as well and they are using the

:16:58. > :17:02.Champions League is this vision. I don't care. I only care that BT was

:17:03. > :17:11.investing in interesting content and it has pulled all of that to buy

:17:12. > :17:17.football. OK. Good to have you in. Thank you for joining us. You can

:17:18. > :17:20.see all the front pages on line on the BBC News website. It is

:17:21. > :17:31.therefore you seven days a week.
