:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:21.With me are Paul Johnson the Deputy Editor of The Guardian,

:00:22. > :00:23.and the former Conservative MP, Tim Collins.

:00:24. > :00:27.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

:00:28. > :00:30.The Express reports on a study suggesting high doses of Vitamin C

:00:31. > :00:36.The FT says a computer system used by HM Revenue

:00:37. > :00:42.and Customs may not be able to handle the surge in workload once

:00:43. > :00:51.The Metro reports on a fatal helicopter crash

:00:52. > :00:54.in Snowdonia, in which five members of the same family died.

:00:55. > :00:56.The i says it's victory for parents, after SATS tests

:00:57. > :01:17.The Times claims the Armed Forces face a ?10 billion shortfall amid

:01:18. > :01:22.escalating costs for new ships and jets. The Mirror says new plans for

:01:23. > :01:23.the NHS to deliver more for parents that swagger patients will happen

:01:24. > :01:46.without extra funding. HMRC warns Customs risks being

:01:47. > :01:56.swamped by Brexit surge. But the downside to Brexit? Of course the

:01:57. > :02:02.Financial Times must have a negative story about Brexit. There's a shop!

:02:03. > :02:10.Even though you have to admit only about half of all imports from the

:02:11. > :02:14.EU, well, under half of two the EU, and yet, we seem to be able to do

:02:15. > :02:17.all that trade with the rest of the world without computers crashing and

:02:18. > :02:23.too much red tape and all the rest of it. Yes, there will be issues and

:02:24. > :02:27.the statement basically says we are on top of it and will sort it out

:02:28. > :02:34.and the people crack on and stop moaning, we may get there. It is the

:02:35. > :02:38.customs union, isn't it? Would be a huge burden? They benefit. The

:02:39. > :02:41.reason for leaving us so we can do free trade agreements with much

:02:42. > :02:46.faster growing parts of the world and have less red tape with the

:02:47. > :02:50.parts of the world that represent 95% of the world population and that

:02:51. > :02:54.is something that is going to produce benefits. So you can always

:02:55. > :03:06.find negative stories if you want. And financial Times want to. Son was

:03:07. > :03:10.the guardian always wants to, too. This is where Brexit begins to bite.

:03:11. > :03:30.An authoritative paper like the Financial Times, I'm surprised. He's

:03:31. > :03:34.got his Union Jack socks on. The reality is, because we are coming

:03:35. > :03:38.out of the customs union and single market, we are talking 300 million

:03:39. > :03:46.instances of customs clearances. They'll send you don't have the

:03:47. > :03:58.software and it will be chaos. There will be a mountain of red tape. We

:03:59. > :04:02.will be out in two years, I think. Continuing with the same paper,

:04:03. > :04:05.Lloyds of Brussels it is now being referred to, because they're opening

:04:06. > :04:11.up an office in a part of the European Union that they were

:04:12. > :04:20.convinced would not be leaving! The deliberate Italy or France, they

:04:21. > :04:25.went to Belgium. Another anti-Brexit story in the Financial Times. What's

:04:26. > :04:30.astonishing is that what Lloyds are doing is moving out of their

:04:31. > :04:38.thousand people who work in London, how many other moving to Brussels?

:04:39. > :04:40.Precisely ten. That is ten people. Their global hub will remain in

:04:41. > :04:47.London and they've made it clear that is their headquarters and

:04:48. > :04:53.Europe's financial centre. Funnily enough, the Financial Times doesn't

:04:54. > :04:56.have the news today about BMW and Ford will make Britain a hub self

:04:57. > :04:58.driving cars which will create thousands of jobs. Not ten. Funny

:04:59. > :05:25.that! Now for the Express. David Cameron,

:05:26. > :05:29.cash before trade talks. We have several stories here. The former

:05:30. > :05:34.Prime Minister in the Ukraine are making a speech in which he said he

:05:35. > :05:38.did not like the European Union's flag or their parliament and thought

:05:39. > :05:41.that was the view of most people in Britain, but he still thought it a

:05:42. > :05:46.good idea to have the referendum and was glad he campaigned for Remain.

:05:47. > :05:52.The thing about Cameron is he was someone who understood many of the

:05:53. > :05:56.reasons why many people objected to the European project and yet, in the

:05:57. > :06:00.end, you can persuade the majority of people in his country that those

:06:01. > :06:04.reservations should be overcome. It is interesting he revealed that, but

:06:05. > :06:08.I think it is perhaps that sends that at heart, it was a political

:06:09. > :06:14.project and that people in Britain, whatever the economic benefits and

:06:15. > :06:17.there will be some coming out of the union, do not subscribe to the

:06:18. > :06:25.political project. But above all is why we left. He must think you

:06:26. > :06:29.didn't like the flight, how is that going to affect his place in

:06:30. > :06:36.history, given that he had the referendum that led to all this?

:06:37. > :06:40.Indeed he did. It says may reject cash before trade talks. But I don't

:06:41. > :06:43.think she's in a position to reject very much. We have the security

:06:44. > :06:51.fiasco of course, where we threatened most of Europe and

:06:52. > :06:54.there's been a drastic withdrawal today. David Davis being on the

:06:55. > :06:58.phone to European capitals, ambassadors have been called in, it

:06:59. > :07:04.is all OK, we didn't need to threaten you. Of course, the Asunder

:07:05. > :07:06.so differently. I think yesterday what the Prime Minister Sevigny

:07:07. > :07:12.parallel talks on Brexit and on trade. And what happened? They all

:07:13. > :07:27.said no. It is not going very well so far.

:07:28. > :07:32.The those sentiments that we hold all the chords and they will do the

:07:33. > :07:37.bidding when the cards are placed on the table cop has already gone wrong

:07:38. > :07:43.twice in 24 hours. This is a guardian fantasy. This idea that the

:07:44. > :07:48.attitude of the Government as we hold the cards, well, it isn't, we

:07:49. > :07:52.understand it has to be hard bargaining, but in the end, it is

:07:53. > :07:57.overwhelmingly to the benefit of both the EU and the UK to get a good

:07:58. > :08:01.deal. We need to trade with them and they with us. They do better out of

:08:02. > :08:04.it than we do and we need to secure our borders with them and they need

:08:05. > :08:12.our help to secure their borders and we benefit. Staying with Brexit,

:08:13. > :08:15.page five of the express. Nicola Sturgeon signing the letter

:08:16. > :08:21.officially requesting following the vote in the Holyrood parliament a

:08:22. > :08:26.second referendum when she chooses. The picture there is interesting,

:08:27. > :08:29.because she has her legs up on the sofa and she is not showing her

:08:30. > :08:42.legs. After the debacle concerning her legs. Is that the right word?

:08:43. > :08:50.This is potentially significant moment. Yes, it is. Cameron's legacy

:08:51. > :08:53.may well be about coming out on Brexit, but also potential of the

:08:54. > :09:05.break-up of the union and there is one of the first ages. This picture

:09:06. > :09:11.looks as if it was modelled on a picture taken of Margaret Thatcher

:09:12. > :09:20.in 1983 with the red box, in Downing Street in all must exactly the same

:09:21. > :09:23.pose. But is also her response to the picture of the Prime Minister

:09:24. > :09:27.early in the week signing the Article 50 letter, with all the

:09:28. > :09:30.officialdom behind it. This is a very casual pose and I think the

:09:31. > :09:33.risk for Nicola Sturgeon is many will understand she was not signing

:09:34. > :09:37.a serious letter, this is not there to any difference, because Theresa

:09:38. > :09:41.May has Medicare and I was not the time. It looks like the sort of

:09:42. > :09:44.casual thing you do late at night after you've knocked back a field

:09:45. > :09:51.and frankly, that is the impression most people have. I don't see any

:09:52. > :10:00.wine glasses. I don't see any alcohol! It looks like it was done

:10:01. > :10:07.informally and is not very serious. Now, The i, victory for parents on

:10:08. > :10:13.school tests. These were the SATS brought in to some dismay by the

:10:14. > :10:20.teaching unions. Now they are going to be replaced, the Government has

:10:21. > :10:25.announced, by assessments. The assessments will be taken in the

:10:26. > :10:29.first year of entry, so at four or five-year-old, the assessments will

:10:30. > :10:31.be done without the children knowing others baseline assessments will be

:10:32. > :10:41.built in to an assessment when the child leaves primary school. A much

:10:42. > :10:50.more deliberate and time taken over that assessment, a gentler method.

:10:51. > :10:53.The suggestion from Sun is back, the many parents think it's a great idea

:10:54. > :11:01.and the teachers don't cause they think is not preparing children for

:11:02. > :11:06.the world. Yes, our youngsters are going to be competing with the world

:11:07. > :11:10.were in China and much of Asia and Latin America, there is much, much

:11:11. > :11:15.more rigorous education than is usually the case in the UK. This is

:11:16. > :11:19.a very bad move by the Government I think and the headline is victory

:11:20. > :11:23.for parents, undoubtedly for some, but very bad news for them, because

:11:24. > :11:25.those being tested about performances for seven-year-olds

:11:26. > :11:32.when all the children, but the teachers. He was making sure they

:11:33. > :11:36.are performing. And now, this new softer approach will be done by

:11:37. > :11:43.teachers marking their own homework and that is not a good idea. Onto

:11:44. > :11:51.the Guardian. 18 week target for operations. This is an important

:11:52. > :11:57.story. Strictly speaking, this is one of the keystones of the NHS at

:11:58. > :12:04.the moment, this pledge for 92% of routine operations, nip -- knee and

:12:05. > :12:12.hip replacements. Hernias, cataract removal, all done within 18 weeks.

:12:13. > :12:15.The NHS will announce tomorrow that that is being jettisoned. The idea

:12:16. > :12:26.is to put more money into emergency Mac round into cancer research. --

:12:27. > :12:31.A White is important is it is Simon Stephens trying to bend and

:12:32. > :12:35.show public opinion that we have to be realistic about what we can

:12:36. > :12:42.achieve with the money that is there within the NHS and he makes it clear

:12:43. > :12:52.that there is only a small amount. Surely with a ?365 million coming

:12:53. > :13:02.after Brexit from Brussels... Where is Boris? Behind the scenes. The BMA

:13:03. > :13:06.oppose all change. They oppose the creation of the NHS back in the day

:13:07. > :13:10.and I remember that when 15 years these targets are being introduced,

:13:11. > :13:13.they said they were bad and we distort clinical priorities and make

:13:14. > :13:16.less urgent operations take place before more urgent operations and

:13:17. > :13:23.what I think is interesting about this is that it says on the front

:13:24. > :13:32.page of the Guardian in may result in people having to wait. That was

:13:33. > :13:35.after a decade of Labour Government. Most people will take the view that

:13:36. > :13:42.when there are huge constraints, if we end up with that side of it being

:13:43. > :13:46.no worse than it was a decade ago, but we are able to protect A and

:13:47. > :14:00.other services, it will be an OK deal. City watchdog sends a clear

:14:01. > :14:04.message as banker loses job. This particular bank lost his job. I'm

:14:05. > :14:10.not sure it is because he used what's up or whether the message is

:14:11. > :14:14.sent through it, because it does appear to have been inside

:14:15. > :14:23.information that was passed on. And it was encrypted. He seems to make

:14:24. > :14:27.the mistake of handing his phone over to his employer, because

:14:28. > :14:30.otherwise they wouldn't have access. In future, people probably think

:14:31. > :14:38.twice about and in the phone over to the employer. That could be the

:14:39. > :14:49.long-term effects. Amber Road has been meeting tech companies there

:14:50. > :15:09.may have agreed to agree. Thank you both. Goodbye.

:15:10. > :15:16.The next few days looked to be a little cooler. Today was the warmest

:15:17. > :15:17.day of the year so far. The warmest March day since
