:00:00. > :00:00.Hello. This is BBC News.
:00:07. > :00:09.We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment.
:00:10. > :00:18.Four countries in Africa and the Middle East need urgent help -
:00:19. > :00:24.the United Nations says 20 million people are facing starvation.
:00:25. > :00:27.A diplomatic row after Turkey's president calls the Dutch "Nazi
:00:28. > :00:32.remnants" for banning his Foreign Minister.
:00:33. > :00:35.A judge has been criticised for warning women that they could be
:00:36. > :00:43.targeted by rapists if they get very drunk.
:00:44. > :00:46.And England crush Scotland at Twickenham, winning a second
:00:47. > :01:04.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
:01:05. > :01:09.With me are Nigel Nelson, political editor of the Sunday Mirror
:01:10. > :01:12.and the Sunday People, and the political
:01:13. > :01:21.Some of tomorrow's front pages are already in.
:01:22. > :01:23.The Observer says Theresa May is under fire by MPs who fear
:01:24. > :01:27.she has no back-up plan if the UK fails to get a trade
:01:28. > :01:34.The Mail on Sunday also leads on the Prime Minister's impending
:01:35. > :01:37.plan to trigger Article 50 - the says she'll fire
:01:38. > :01:44.The Sunday Telegraph's top story is what it calls a war
:01:45. > :01:46.in the Cabinet over the Budget - with ministers reportedly furious
:01:47. > :01:50.at the Chancellor for not warning them that he was planning to break
:01:51. > :01:53.a manifesto promise with a rise in National Insurance
:01:54. > :02:02.The front page of the Sunday Times has rugby hero Danny Care flying
:02:03. > :02:11.through the air as scores in England's victory against
:02:12. > :02:15.And The Sunday Express reports on a potential new lead in the hunt
:02:16. > :02:18.The paper says police have been given extra
:02:19. > :02:29.let's delve a little deeper. We start with the Observer. I feel we
:02:30. > :02:36.need a drum roll. Tuesdays when we are likely to see the Prime Minister
:02:37. > :02:41.triggering Article 50. Or Thursday. It is also triggering lots of
:02:42. > :02:48.accusations of, do we really know what we are doing? Good question!
:02:49. > :02:53.What the papers are full of tonight is a foreign affairs select
:02:54. > :02:59.committee report which absolutely slams the government. It was chaired
:03:00. > :03:04.by Tory Crispin Blunt. But he is broadly saying is that if we don't
:03:05. > :03:08.plan for failure, then that would be a dereliction of duty. That is what
:03:09. > :03:15.he is accusing the Prime Minister of. What has really got the gold of
:03:16. > :03:21.MPs is they made the same kind of warning to David Cameron, saying,
:03:22. > :03:27.you may want a referendum, you don't have a plan. Where is the plan? They
:03:28. > :03:30.are saying this is similar. They think the negotiations may well
:03:31. > :03:36.fail. What are we doing for planning if they do fail? At the moment we
:03:37. > :03:41.can't hear anything from the government. We are going to stay
:03:42. > :03:46.with this story. The Mail on Sunday, dereliction of his duty. Savaging
:03:47. > :03:52.Brexit Minister David Davis, suggesting there is no plan. As
:03:53. > :03:57.Nigel said, they had already been very critical of David Cameron,
:03:58. > :04:03.accusing the government of gross negligence, of never having a plan B
:04:04. > :04:07.for the result of the referendum, which resulted in a Leave vote. To
:04:08. > :04:16.do it again would be absolutely appalling. They use this phrase,
:04:17. > :04:21.mutually assured damage, which is a throwback to mutually assured
:04:22. > :04:27.destruction, a Cold War term used by Russia and America. It is absolutely
:04:28. > :04:29.damning. It is chilling for the government. It is chilling to
:04:30. > :04:35.business. It is chilling to the country. If there is no deal, and
:04:36. > :04:41.Theresa May has said we will walk away because no deal is better than
:04:42. > :04:45.a bad deal, they have got this idea in their heads it is possible there
:04:46. > :04:50.is not a deal they can agree to. What is the plan? If she does
:04:51. > :04:58.trigger it on Tuesday or Thursday, they have two years to come up with
:04:59. > :05:04.something. Politically, if there is a plan B that is being configured,
:05:05. > :05:11.they don't want to make too much of it because they wanted to succeed.
:05:12. > :05:16.What if it doesn't succeed? There needs to be a contingency plan. The
:05:17. > :05:19.chaos that gripped Whitehall Atherley referenda must because
:05:20. > :05:27.there was no plan for leaving in the first place. -- after the
:05:28. > :05:30.referendum. Because we were caught out that time, the argument from MPs
:05:31. > :05:41.is that we should be making plans for that. David Davis tells us he
:05:42. > :05:47.has a plan A, plan B, plan see -- plan capital see... You get the
:05:48. > :05:52.feeling they do not know what they are doing. Do you get the impression
:05:53. > :05:57.the Parliamentary committee are giving guidelines as to what they
:05:58. > :06:03.think the back-up should be? No, I don't think they are. They are
:06:04. > :06:07.saying it is a possibility, so you can't pretend it may not happen. It
:06:08. > :06:14.is an insurance. It is the duty of government. What they are saying is
:06:15. > :06:19.you can't be negligent. I think what they are saying is that obviously
:06:20. > :06:23.everybody involved is going into completely uncharted territory.
:06:24. > :06:26.Probably the only people who have any idea of what it means and what
:06:27. > :06:33.the deal will be will be the many lawyers working through. Nigel
:06:34. > :06:38.touches on what David Davis is saying, and we make come on to that
:06:39. > :06:42.in a bit, because he has written an article in another Sunday paper, but
:06:43. > :06:47.you can't talk this up because it may not be down to us in the end. It
:06:48. > :06:53.will be about what the other 27 countries are offering. Hiding
:06:54. > :06:58.behind the claim that negotiations are not working. She wouldn't say
:06:59. > :07:03.anything to begin with. Then she admitted we were going to be in the
:07:04. > :07:08.single market. Other things are obvious, too. She must be more
:07:09. > :07:11.honest. The Sunday Times has a headline that suggests she is clear
:07:12. > :07:16.on some of the money payback. This sounds like a very jolly good story,
:07:17. > :07:22.that we will be sitting on ?9 billion coming our way. The argument
:07:23. > :07:27.seems to be that we have got 9 billion sitting in the European
:07:28. > :07:31.investment bank. Our money. Theresa May, when she finally gets to
:07:32. > :07:38.Brussels to start the negotiations, will say, before we start, can we
:07:39. > :07:44.have the dosh back, please? The idea seems to be to spike the European
:07:45. > :07:47.Commission's guns about starched -- charging us ?50 billion for leaving
:07:48. > :07:53.the EU. Where they got this figure from seems to be a mystery. We're
:07:54. > :08:01.Prattley oh a lot of pension contributions and so on. Good luck
:08:02. > :08:04.to. -- we apparently owe a lot of pension contributions. This says
:08:05. > :08:07.that ministers are confident they can reduce the size of a Brexit bill
:08:08. > :08:14.to something more politically palatable. This goes back to talking
:08:15. > :08:19.up. They may be confident but they don't know what the bill would be
:08:20. > :08:23.yet. If we're going to get his ?9 billion back, allegedly, is the EU
:08:24. > :08:29.going to ask for money back that it has already for farming subsidies or
:08:30. > :08:37.other grants and things we benefit from. It is a bit like a Moroccan
:08:38. > :08:46.Bazaar, isn't it?! This is an ugly divorce, isn't it? Somebody will end
:08:47. > :08:51.up in a cold, chilly Park. Before we get too depressed, take us onto the
:08:52. > :08:57.other story in the Sunday Times, a Russian cyber threat to UK
:08:58. > :09:01.elections. This story has been running around. I have to confess I
:09:02. > :09:10.was taking the Mickey out of Nigel last time we were on talking about
:09:11. > :09:17.the spies in your cattle. -- kettle. Now your TVs! People at GCHQ, the
:09:18. > :09:25.listening spying station, and what they are basically doing, they have
:09:26. > :09:29.got a story which is that GCHQ are offering and calling for a summit.
:09:30. > :09:33.They are calling on all political parties, the leaders of all
:09:34. > :09:38.political parties, because political parties hold an enormous amount of
:09:39. > :09:43.personal information online about their members and things, and they
:09:44. > :09:49.are very concerned, GCHQ, lured the possible disruption to the next
:09:50. > :09:58.general election -- to the possible disruption. They have intervened and
:09:59. > :10:06.they have stopped apparently a cyber attack on the BBC election coverage.
:10:07. > :10:13.Did you know that? I did not. By a gang of hackers known as the fancy
:10:14. > :10:20.bares. They sound rather fond! Deliberately cuddly! Because of
:10:21. > :10:23.what's happening, all the concerns about fake news and weather the
:10:24. > :10:29.Russians were involved in the American election, it will fuel the
:10:30. > :10:37.thing that we don't want to go down the route of online voting.
:10:38. > :10:41.Old-fashioned as it may be, the paper and pencil works. That is
:10:42. > :10:47.years away if it ever comes at all. It is a ramping up, telling people
:10:48. > :10:53.to take it seriously. We were mentioning the parallel with the
:10:54. > :10:55.states and that the Russians somehow had a hand in the American
:10:56. > :11:01.presidential elections. The focus very much on Russia? Yes, they seem
:11:02. > :11:04.to be the ones doing it. We have the same discussions going on in France
:11:05. > :11:08.with the French elections. It does seem when you talk to people who
:11:09. > :11:12.know about these things in Whitehall, it is always Russia.
:11:13. > :11:15.China is pretty interested but they want to steal technology, really.
:11:16. > :11:22.The Russians want to mess around with democracy. We are fearing that
:11:23. > :11:26.Russians are actually doing this. It seems perfectly sensible. Have a
:11:27. > :11:33.summit, swapped what you know, how you can protect yourself. The Sunday
:11:34. > :11:37.Telegraph. Let's return to politics. This takes us back to the budget.
:11:38. > :11:44.The suggestion that the Cabinet is now at war over a shambolic decision
:11:45. > :11:52.by the Chancellor. Does this sound vaguely familiar, rows between the
:11:53. > :11:55.Chancellor and MPs?! That old one. This is a story that claims that
:11:56. > :12:00.Philip Hammond, the Chancellor, failed to brief the Cabinet on the
:12:01. > :12:03.fact that the introduction of the increase in national insurance for
:12:04. > :12:10.self-employed people was breaking the Tory party manifesto before the
:12:11. > :12:13.last election. It does rather beg the question, if they were briefed
:12:14. > :12:21.on it, do they not remember what was in their manifesto? This is a blame
:12:22. > :12:27.game. Clearly that was an absolute error. It is a bit like George
:12:28. > :12:29.Osborne's pasty tax. It is a nonsense that somebody in the
:12:30. > :12:37.Treasury should have worked out what was going to happen, there was gone
:12:38. > :12:40.to be this absolute uproar on the very people who are just about
:12:41. > :12:46.managing, the self-employed, the entrepreneur ors. Whether or not,
:12:47. > :12:52.reality is that all of those people would be affected, having the
:12:53. > :12:54.resolution foundation and the Institute for Fiscal Studies, they
:12:55. > :13:01.actually say it will not affect people on the very low level. It is
:13:02. > :13:05.a way of levelling income tax and making it fair. If you are going to
:13:06. > :13:13.do it, why not go on the winter fuel allowance for wealthy pensioners, or
:13:14. > :13:17.bring prescription charges down? It is a good job you are not on Twitter
:13:18. > :13:22.because you would get lots of tweets about that. I know but don't just
:13:23. > :13:29.pick on one easily identifiable group. Does seem a particularly Daft
:13:30. > :13:34.decision. I was astonished when I heard in the budget. When you read
:13:35. > :13:37.the Cabinet didn't notice it was breaking a manifesto commitment, I
:13:38. > :13:41.found that hard to believe. One of the things we give the week before
:13:42. > :13:44.the budget is we work out our predictions. This is one that had
:13:45. > :13:49.been around. The reason we threw it out was on the basis that, hang on,
:13:50. > :13:56.it is a manifesto commitment, surely they won't break it? Surely the
:13:57. > :14:06.Cabinet know about it and if they don't, why not? Let's return to the
:14:07. > :14:15.Observer. Tucked away down the side. You made reference to fake news, a
:14:16. > :14:17.very zeitgeist thing. This is the web creator himself, Sir Tim
:14:18. > :14:26.Berners-Lee, who says the Internet is broken. Perhaps he is going to
:14:27. > :14:29.unplug it! This is one of these stories were the headline looks as
:14:30. > :14:34.if it is an interesting story. When you look into it, there isn't
:14:35. > :14:42.actually a story. He is meant to be unveiling a plan. He has unveiled a
:14:43. > :14:46.radical plan to combat fake news 28 years after he created the Internet.
:14:47. > :14:51.But what happens is he has written an open letter to the observer
:14:52. > :14:55.talking about the chilling effect on free speech, Internet blindspots
:14:56. > :15:02.that corrupt democratic process. But he says with public support he hopes
:15:03. > :15:12.to comp up with policy solutions. -- to come. We want his solutions and
:15:13. > :15:21.then we will support it. Did you come up with any solutions? Not yet!
:15:22. > :15:26.Give us in minutes! This is not on our list. But knowing that you are a
:15:27. > :15:31.fan and Nigel not so much, let's pay a little tribute to England's
:15:32. > :15:36.victory in the Six Nations at Twickenham. They have lovely
:15:37. > :15:43.pictures. We have Jonathan Joseph, man of the match. Got a hat-trick.
:15:44. > :15:51.The Sunday Times with Danny Care. It is fantastic. 18 wins in a row for
:15:52. > :15:59.the England team, which I think they are very close to beating New
:16:00. > :16:05.Zealand's record. They have to play Ireland next week. That will be a
:16:06. > :16:11.walk in the park. And this was the Calcutta cup. After we finished
:16:12. > :16:19.this, you take Nigel away and give him a briefing and we will question
:16:20. > :16:25.him at 11:30pm! It is an exam now! Very many thanks to Nigel and to
:16:26. > :16:31.Joe. We will be back with more at half past 11. Coming next, it is
:16:32. > :16:36.time for Reporters.
