:00:00. > :00:00.Bad luck to them. That's all this board. Now on BBC News, here is the

:00:07. > :00:19.papers. -- that is all the sport. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:20. > :00:23.to what The Papers will be With me are Dave Wooding, political

:00:24. > :00:27.editor at the Sun on Sunday, is under fire by MPs who fear

:00:28. > :00:38.she has no back-up plan if the UK fails to get

:00:39. > :00:41.a trade deal with the EU. The Mail on Sunday also leads

:00:42. > :00:44.on the Prime Minister's impending it says she'll fire

:00:45. > :00:50.the starting gun on Tuesday. The Sunday Telegraph's top story

:00:51. > :00:52.is what it calls a war with ministers reportedly furious

:00:53. > :00:57.at the Chancellor for not warning them that he was planning to break

:00:58. > :01:00.a manifesto promise with a rise in National Insurance

:01:01. > :01:03.for self-employed workers. The front page of the Sunday

:01:04. > :01:06.Times has rugby hero Danny Care flying through the air

:01:07. > :01:08.as he scores in England's victory against Scotland

:01:09. > :01:12.in the Rugby Six Nations. And the Sunday Express reports

:01:13. > :01:16.on a potential new lead in the hunt The paper says police have been

:01:17. > :01:28.given extra funding to follow it up. Right, so let's begin and we are

:01:29. > :01:32.going to start with the mail on Sunday and Brexit has got all the

:01:33. > :01:44.headlines. A dereliction of duty if there is not a plan. It is all

:01:45. > :01:48.Brexit, Brexit. This story is about the House of Commons Health Select

:01:49. > :01:52.Committee report, chaired by a conservative, who have put out a

:01:53. > :01:57.report that there is no plan B for Brexit. In other words, what do we

:01:58. > :02:02.do if there is no deal? The Prime Minister has said she is prepared to

:02:03. > :02:06.walk away if there is no deal. She has used the phrase no deal is

:02:07. > :02:10.better than a bad dill. There are reasonable point is what contingency

:02:11. > :02:14.planning have you done about this? They say there has been no

:02:15. > :02:19.contingency planning as far as evidence suggests and they say that

:02:20. > :02:23.is a dereliction of duty if you were not to plan for the worst-case

:02:24. > :02:26.scenario and they are recommending, this all-party committee, that every

:02:27. > :02:30.department in government should be looking at contingency plans in case

:02:31. > :02:35.we go over a cliff edge. What we do about Northern Ireland with the

:02:36. > :02:41.Borders? What do we do about trade? The trade being it exactly right.

:02:42. > :02:48.Workforces, but Andre said this year it would take them ten years to get

:02:49. > :02:52.a workforce that was entirely British and one out of 50

:02:53. > :02:56.applications came from a British person. These are things which are

:02:57. > :03:05.really going to hit straightaway, aren't they? -- a sandwich shop said

:03:06. > :03:09.this week. Even looking at copyright for music, written pieces, and

:03:10. > :03:16.tangling all of that is really difficult. I think that brings home

:03:17. > :03:20.how many things there are. Also, this arrogance. We can't decide this

:03:21. > :03:24.deal. This is a deal which will have to be agreed with all the nations in

:03:25. > :03:27.the EU and they have oversimplified everything here for the people of

:03:28. > :03:32.this country. The deal has to be made would the agreement of other

:03:33. > :03:36.people. And getting that amount of agreement could be difficult? The

:03:37. > :03:45.difficulty here, I can see the government's side and also the

:03:46. > :03:50.all-party group's perspective as well. If you go to buy a car, you

:03:51. > :04:01.never show your hand when you are negotiating. We don't know what

:04:02. > :04:05.Theresa May's is and where she will go. She needs to be prepared to walk

:04:06. > :04:10.out. If you are buying something and want to drive a hard bargain, you

:04:11. > :04:18.need to drive a hard bargain. Should we know these publicly already? Yes,

:04:19. > :04:21.or at least the MPs should. Parliamentarians are there to make

:04:22. > :04:25.sure that whatever happens, whether it is internally, with foreign

:04:26. > :04:30.affairs or with this deal, that what happened makes sense in the

:04:31. > :04:36.long-term. There has been such an emotional rise long-term pro and

:04:37. > :04:41.against Brexit that I think good sense is very difficult to bring

:04:42. > :04:48.back to the table. Let's move the times and this is the headline,

:04:49. > :04:53.may's EU payback. This is more of the nitty-gritty of the

:04:54. > :04:57.negotiations. Theresa May is saying that Brussels should hand back ?9

:04:58. > :05:01.billion worth of British assets which are held by the European Union

:05:02. > :05:06.bank. This to me sounds like another bargaining chip. She is saying, we

:05:07. > :05:11.have got this and the European Union are saying you have to keep paying

:05:12. > :05:14.until 2020, and if they say that, she will say, we want this back.

:05:15. > :05:20.This is all to do with jockeying and positioning when we come to a deal.

:05:21. > :05:26.It's going to get really interesting. She has fired an

:05:27. > :05:29.opening salvo. I think she wants to be, she is modelling herself on

:05:30. > :05:35.Margaret Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher got back this rebate and the picture

:05:36. > :05:39.-- the people cheered. I think she's subconsciously modelling herself on

:05:40. > :05:48.national memory up to a point. It's a bit of PR as well. She comes over

:05:49. > :05:55.a bit as shy vicar's daughter. What? She is not a shy person. She is

:05:56. > :05:58.arrogant! People I spoke to when she worked at the Home Office, they say

:05:59. > :06:03.what a tough cookie she is. She doesn't take any messing. If people

:06:04. > :06:10.get things wrong, their beat don't touch the ground. She will be a

:06:11. > :06:17.formidable negotiator. David Davis is talking about the Brexit rebels,

:06:18. > :06:21.isn't he? The times -- timetable this week is that tomorrow, the two

:06:22. > :06:28.amendments from the Lords go back to the comments, they will be shoved

:06:29. > :06:31.back to the Lords, then if it gets put through, they will get royal

:06:32. > :06:36.assent and Theresa May could be triggering Article 50 by Tuesday.

:06:37. > :06:40.She probably won't do it on Wednesday because there are the

:06:41. > :06:47.Dutch elections. Do you have secret information? No, we have all tried

:06:48. > :06:51.to find that out because knowing what day she will trigger it would

:06:52. > :06:55.be a great Sunday paper story but Downing Street are not telling us. A

:06:56. > :07:02.lot of people have used the phrase, as early as Tuesday. Do you reckon

:07:03. > :07:06.it will definitely come this week? It could be Tuesday or Thursday. It

:07:07. > :07:13.is the Dutch elections on Wednesday and she has a speech on Friday. She

:07:14. > :07:20.has got to get Royal assent, so Tuesday could be early. What about

:07:21. > :07:25.this report? Would she not pay any attention? She responded last night

:07:26. > :07:30.saying that they have got contingency plans, she does not

:07:31. > :07:34.telling anyone what they are. Now, a Cabinet war over the budget? There

:07:35. > :07:40.is a lot of bad feeling because this is felt by a lot of Tories to be a

:07:41. > :07:45.very un-conservative thing to do, putting up taxes, particularly for

:07:46. > :07:54.those striving. I think they're well have to be a rethink. Something very

:07:55. > :07:58.slow and it will be kicked away. I don't think they will go ahead with

:07:59. > :08:01.this. The more important things in the budget are being ignored.

:08:02. > :08:06.Creating a whole education system which is completely going to divide

:08:07. > :08:10.out as -- our children into fragments, sections of society, is

:08:11. > :08:14.the more worrying thing and there has been no comment on that. The

:08:15. > :08:19.national insurance contributions of course have taken the headlines. The

:08:20. > :08:22.Tories are saying that the election pledge was actually bore people who

:08:23. > :08:27.were employees and not the self-employed. Well, a bit of rowing

:08:28. > :08:32.back on this. What happened effectively is that Philip Hammond,

:08:33. > :08:36.the Chancellor, outlined the plan is to be Cabinet on Wednesday morning,

:08:37. > :08:40.hours before he delivered the budget and his people are saying, we did

:08:41. > :08:44.not hear a peep from any of the Cabinet group or the Prime Minister.

:08:45. > :08:48.Then all hell breaks loose quantities delivered it. But they

:08:49. > :08:52.are saying, what good we do at this late stage? They are also saying, he

:08:53. > :08:58.didn't make clear it was a manifesto pledge. You do wonder why the

:08:59. > :09:01.Cabinet didn't know what was in the manifesto. Exactly. And remember,

:09:02. > :09:07.the tuition fees. The Lib Dems were unforgiving because of that failure.

:09:08. > :09:14.This is a very fundamental thing. White Van man, as we call it in the

:09:15. > :09:24.sun, these are the grafters, these drivers. Me! I was reading at being

:09:25. > :09:30.in the week about start-ups and the higher percentage at the moment is

:09:31. > :09:33.women with start-ups. We also don't get the benefits because they are

:09:34. > :09:38.saying they are trying to make it fair because PAYE employees pay a

:09:39. > :09:46.certain amount, but you don't get the holiday, sickness pay, maternity

:09:47. > :09:50.pay. Well, you get maternity allowance because of Europe. But

:09:51. > :09:57.it's a very unfair comparison, it seems to me. Just a quickie, yes or

:09:58. > :10:00.no public view, will this the party? Yes, it's his first budget. Remember

:10:01. > :10:05.he pointed out Norman Lamont was gone a few weeks afterwards. Newman

:10:06. > :10:10.-- we heard from Norman Lamont yesterday and he said this was a

:10:11. > :10:18.huge mistake. I think so too. It's an unforced error. Now, Prince

:10:19. > :10:25.Philip. I love this story. Prince Philip meets Prince -- meets Philip

:10:26. > :10:30.Hammond. The papers have been having fun. Yes, Philip goes up and he is

:10:31. > :10:36.never one to miss sticking his oar in. He pulled his leg, a bit of

:10:37. > :10:42.joshing about the budget. We don't know what he said but we can

:10:43. > :10:53.probably guess. There is a rather funny caption in there. Yes, it

:10:54. > :10:56.says, you will never find yourself a plumber now. We were all trying to

:10:57. > :11:02.work out what was said but they were keeping tight-lipped about what was

:11:03. > :11:05.said between these two Phillips. I suppose one good thing is that they

:11:06. > :11:09.are all laughing. That is quite good. Moving along, a Russian cyber

:11:10. > :11:18.threat in the times. What is this one about? We have heard recently

:11:19. > :11:22.with the US presidential elections that the Russians were involved in

:11:23. > :11:27.hacking into the campaign and maybe even swaying it. And there has been

:11:28. > :11:35.a conference call by GCHQ cheats, these by leaders that are listening

:11:36. > :11:39.as opposed in Cheltenham, to discuss the real and present threat of

:11:40. > :11:44.Russians hacking political databases during the next general election and

:11:45. > :11:49.actually influencing the result. There is a guy called Kieran Martin,

:11:50. > :11:53.chief executive of the National cyber Security Centre, who will be

:11:54. > :11:57.warning that it poses a threat to the democratic process in this

:11:58. > :12:00.country. It seems to be something that is spreading and worldwide? It

:12:01. > :12:06.is and I don't think it's just Russia. There is a lot of hacking

:12:07. > :12:13.going on. A kind of the world in which we think we have early element

:12:14. > :12:26.of privacy -- any element of Properzi and we don't. Everything

:12:27. > :12:31.from wiki leaks to Russia's games, I think they are weak, and the far

:12:32. > :12:35.right in America, who are very, very rich people. There is a new book

:12:36. > :12:39.about this and Western democracies are under severe attack and we

:12:40. > :12:43.should worry very much about it. Does this report give us an answer

:12:44. > :12:53.as to what a solution to this might be? No, it says it's about outlining

:12:54. > :12:57.the potential for hostile action and saying what political parties can do

:12:58. > :13:01.to make their systems more robust and how to protect and safeguard

:13:02. > :13:05.everything, but it's just a case of being one step ahead. It's like

:13:06. > :13:11.terrorism. You have to be one step ahead and as they progress, you

:13:12. > :13:17.progress. It's a very sophisticated area. It's kind of back to the Cold

:13:18. > :13:21.War but with more sophisticated technology online. Let's have a look

:13:22. > :13:25.at the Observer and this is an interesting story about how Finland

:13:26. > :13:32.deals with homelessness. Yes, they have a system in Finland called

:13:33. > :13:36.Housing first. What they do is rough sleepers are sent into

:13:37. > :13:41.accommodation, they are given accommodation. The government do

:13:42. > :13:44.deals with housing companies and they move them in without any of the

:13:45. > :13:48.restrictions that people have when they try to get on the housing

:13:49. > :13:54.ladder. Sometimes people who are rough sleeping have mental health

:13:55. > :13:59.issues, drug issues, alcohol issues, and their lives are rock bottom and

:14:00. > :14:05.they don't have the necessary paperwork to get housing. They shot

:14:06. > :14:08.them into this housing, get them treatment and it has dramatically

:14:09. > :14:16.reduced rough sleeping in Finland as a result. The Centre for Justice has

:14:17. > :14:20.done a very thoughtful report on this and says it would cost ?101

:14:21. > :14:25.million a year but the money would be recouped after three years and

:14:26. > :14:31.Sabbir Javed is so impressed by this, he is going to go to Finland

:14:32. > :14:35.to have a look at this and is considering doing this in Britain.

:14:36. > :14:42.It has become a huge problem in Britain. Everywhere. I saw a couple

:14:43. > :14:47.sleeping on the streets not far from here in Oxford Street and I am very

:14:48. > :14:51.pleased to see the gentle side of the Tories emerging, finally, and of

:14:52. > :14:56.course Finland has some really brilliant ideas. I think Finland has

:14:57. > :15:03.this national income that they give everybody. Is that right? Yes. And

:15:04. > :15:07.they have found extraordinary benefits coming from that. It's a

:15:08. > :15:11.whole different way of looking at it, isn't it? I have never known the

:15:12. > :15:17.Tories to go to a Scandinavian country so it's a very good thing. I

:15:18. > :15:20.want to pop to be mirror and Paul Burrell now. What is he up to? What

:15:21. > :15:26.would we do without him. He is would we do without him. He is

:15:27. > :15:30.coming up with more and more allegations about what the Queen

:15:31. > :15:35.told him and these strange goings-on on a yacht. They love him in America

:15:36. > :15:41.because he's like a living soap opera and they love the family. He

:15:42. > :15:46.gives them all this stuff. And the thing here is that the Queen told

:15:47. > :15:51.him to find a woman, because of course he came out, Paul Burrell, a

:15:52. > :15:59.view years back. But it's just fun to read. At these times we need

:16:00. > :16:06.fantasy. He was in a view stories this week, wasn't he? He said Diana

:16:07. > :16:11.talks to him at night. Yes, I think he has a book coming out. He was

:16:12. > :16:16.never off the front pages if you years ago. Diana famously described

:16:17. > :16:21.him as her rock. And he doesn't age. How? Maybe he will tell us in the

:16:22. > :16:24.next instalment. Thanks to our guests today -

:16:25. > :16:27.Dave Wooding, political editor at the Sun on Sunday,

:16:28. > :16:30.and journalist Yasmin Alibhai Brown. Just a reminder we take a look

:16:31. > :16:33.at tomorrow's front pages every
