:00:00. > :00:15.Rod and all from Sportsday. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:16. > :00:18.to what the the papers will be With me are Rachel Cunliffe,
:00:19. > :00:22.Deputy Editor of the Political news website Reaction,
:00:23. > :00:23.and Matthew Syed, The Telegraph reports that
:00:24. > :00:37.Britain will be paying into the EU until 2020 -
:00:38. > :00:40.a year after the country officially A high tech plastic bag that
:00:41. > :00:48.could save the lives of premature It reports doctors could be using it
:00:49. > :00:53.on babies in three years. The I leads with the a survey
:00:54. > :00:56.which suggests that voters want the Prime Minister to take part
:00:57. > :00:58.in TV debates, Tomorrow's Daily Express has
:00:59. > :01:04.Madeline McCann on its front page as the paper marks ten years
:01:05. > :01:11.since her disappearance. The Daily Mirror also leads
:01:12. > :01:13.with the anniversary, reporting a senior police officer
:01:14. > :01:16.claims there's a new Criticism of free schools funding
:01:17. > :01:23.is the big story in the Guardian. The paper also features a picture
:01:24. > :01:25.of President Trump's The Times shares that
:01:26. > :01:33.image of Ivanka along with Christine Lagarde
:01:34. > :01:35.and Angela Merkel, but its lead story claims senior Conservatives
:01:36. > :01:48.want to sideline Boris Johnson Quite a nice mix of stories. Rachel,
:01:49. > :01:55.let's kick off with the story in the Telegraph. Yet again, a story about
:01:56. > :02:01.how much potentially we will be going the EU or how much the
:02:02. > :02:05.unreasonable EU is demanding of us, and this time the key number is 8
:02:06. > :02:10.billion, but we have had numbers in the millions and billions, this is
:02:11. > :02:14.not a particularly new story. What is new is that there are now reports
:02:15. > :02:18.that this is being considered as part of the negotiation on the
:02:19. > :02:24.British side to help us get the transitional deal which I think will
:02:25. > :02:29.probably make some hard Brexiteers very upset, that we will continue
:02:30. > :02:35.paying the EU bill until 2020. There is a case that this is money we
:02:36. > :02:38.committed. The EU budget frameworks are seven years so this is money
:02:39. > :02:44.that was allocated to these projects. It is definitely showing
:02:45. > :02:50.that one of our key negotiating chips is going to be our
:02:51. > :02:55.contributions. We have the money, they need the money. So I think you
:02:56. > :03:01.can put a fairly positive spin on this. So it will be about the bill
:03:02. > :03:05.versus the trade deal we get as a result? It will be the opening
:03:06. > :03:09.gambit in what will be an extraordinary, complex, multifaceted
:03:10. > :03:14.deal with lots of moving parts masterminded by David Davis if the
:03:15. > :03:18.Tories win the next general election. This shortfall in the
:03:19. > :03:21.budget is causing anxiety on that side of the channel and it is
:03:22. > :03:26.clearly a bargaining chip if we want to get really privileged access to
:03:27. > :03:30.the free market, which is crucial to our economy. But I think you are
:03:31. > :03:37.right, the really hard Brexiteers who would rather crash out... They
:03:38. > :03:44.would rather be left today. Exactly, they are anxious. I think Theresa
:03:45. > :03:55.May will be less beholden to the hardline Brexiteers and may allow
:03:56. > :04:06.her to go shoot a hard ish Brexit. You mentioned Theresa May which
:04:07. > :04:14.takes us onto the I. We want Theresa May in TV debates, say voters. Who
:04:15. > :04:18.are these photos? I would agree with voters to say we want to have her
:04:19. > :04:22.in. You can understand her reluctance, she is way ahead of the
:04:23. > :04:28.polls, everybody expects her to get a three figure majority in the House
:04:29. > :04:33.of Commons. There is a downside risk that she will go in and stumble,
:04:34. > :04:37.Jeremy Corbyn will shine, Tim Farron will do something remarkable. Do you
:04:38. > :04:45.remember when Nick Clegg popped in, and everybody agreed with Nick.
:04:46. > :04:51.Absolutely went sky high in the polls. Having said that, I think
:04:52. > :04:55.these debates will make a tiny difference but I don't think in this
:04:56. > :05:02.particular election they will make a difference. Is the appetite there,
:05:03. > :05:08.do you think? It says 54% of people said they want to see Theresa May in
:05:09. > :05:14.the debate, I certainly don't. You would rather have them than not,
:05:15. > :05:17.wouldn't you? I think the prospect of Jeremy Corbyn shouting at an
:05:18. > :05:25.empty chair is a lot more entertaining than Theresa May.
:05:26. > :05:29.Injecting some humour and entertainment into this otherwise
:05:30. > :05:33.rather boring election campaign. It wouldn't be the most distracting
:05:34. > :05:36.piece of television if you had a group of senior politicians standing
:05:37. > :05:42.round in a circle and an empty chair, I'm not sure you could take
:05:43. > :05:48.the debate seriously, could you? Of course not, you can't take it
:05:49. > :05:51.seriously. They say Labour accuses the Prime Minister of running
:05:52. > :05:54.scared. I think the only thing she has to be scared of at the moment is
:05:55. > :06:02.what you will do with her massive landslide victory when she gets it.
:06:03. > :06:10.I do think she should be tested in a debate. The democratic duty almost.
:06:11. > :06:14.I do think that. It's become part of the tapestry of American politics.
:06:15. > :06:21.No serious candidate wouldn't be able to take part without a debate.
:06:22. > :06:25.And I think it's possible Theresa May will be dogged by the idea she's
:06:26. > :06:30.a bit of a bottler, and the pressure might get too great. It really
:06:31. > :06:35.depends what happens in the polls. If this reluctance to take part in
:06:36. > :06:40.the debate makes an impact on the polls, maybe she will buckle. Her
:06:41. > :06:46.biggest problem right now is stopping Tory voters from getting
:06:47. > :06:58.complacent and not turning up. Rachel, staying with you and the I.
:06:59. > :07:03.As their is a photograph of the wife of Emmanuel Macron. Yes, the
:07:04. > :07:09.potential future first Lady of brands, and a bit of a scandal in
:07:10. > :07:15.that she's 25 years older than him, I think 64 years old, and she was
:07:16. > :07:25.headteacher at school when he was 15. Obviously this is France and we
:07:26. > :07:29.don't care about that. She could potentially be the first lady. I
:07:30. > :07:33.think the age difference has been commented on a lot, I'd like to make
:07:34. > :07:40.the point it is almost exactly the same as the age difference between
:07:41. > :07:46.Donald Trump and his wife. Is this a debating point of significance? I
:07:47. > :07:50.think the love story between these two is extraordinary. They met when
:07:51. > :07:59.he was 15 and she was teacher as you rightly say. She was married, and
:08:00. > :08:03.with the daughter. But she was won over by this 15-year-old who would
:08:04. > :08:08.read extracts from a play that he was about to act in, and she said
:08:09. > :08:12.the weight of his intellect that she still doesn't feel she has fully
:08:13. > :08:18.probed, on their long walks by the river she fell in love and he said I
:08:19. > :08:25.will marry you. It took until he was 29 before he popped the question. It
:08:26. > :08:28.is remarkable. And remember French presidents often have rather
:08:29. > :08:37.remarkable love stories. This seems like a true love story. He mentioned
:08:38. > :08:46.Donald Trump. Ivanka appears on the front of the Guardian. She had a bit
:08:47. > :08:57.of a hard time at this event is because she was asked about her
:08:58. > :08:59.father 's attitude towards women. On his presidential platform is
:09:00. > :09:04.promising to give maternity leave it for the first time in political
:09:05. > :09:09.American history, but this was met from giggles in the audience. She
:09:10. > :09:13.was asked about his attitude towards women in his private life, of course
:09:14. > :09:20.the comment made off-the-cuff in the campaign. She obviously loves her
:09:21. > :09:23.father very much, respect him hugely, and defended him rather
:09:24. > :09:31.well, I think. Even though I don't agree with Trump's policies or his
:09:32. > :09:37.actions towards women, I think he has a pretty solid family life. I
:09:38. > :09:40.don't feel sorry for her. She is the Golden girl, one half of the power
:09:41. > :09:45.couple potentially taking over the world. If you look at the continuing
:09:46. > :09:49.deals her husband and she is doing on behalf of trumps other
:09:50. > :09:53.businesses. I'm a little bit torn by this story because as you can see in
:09:54. > :09:58.the picture they are all smiling and there have been reports that she and
:09:59. > :10:02.Angela Merkel have very good chemistry, which is in contrast to
:10:03. > :10:07.when Donald Trump met Angela Merkel and it was all very awkward. She
:10:08. > :10:12.asked for a handshake and he pretended not to hear her. If she is
:10:13. > :10:17.away for the leaders to get their point across to him, it is good
:10:18. > :10:23.there is somebody. But at the same time what has she done, she a
:10:24. > :10:31.jewellery designer on a stage with two of the most powerful women in
:10:32. > :10:33.the world, the head of the IMF and the Chancellor of Germany,
:10:34. > :10:40.pretending she's there on her own merit. At the same time Hillary
:10:41. > :10:49.Clinton is getting a huge amount of attacks and really vitriolic
:10:50. > :10:57.responses for the fact that she won't say she went for Congress
:10:58. > :11:04.clearly enough. I agree with you on nepotism, it is a good point. I'm
:11:05. > :11:09.going to go to the Metro. This is an extraordinary image, grow bags for
:11:10. > :11:24.babies. It is an artificial womb that has been tested on lands --
:11:25. > :11:27.lambs. It is a pretty fantastic technological innovation. Isn't it
:11:28. > :11:31.brilliant when scientists come up with something that can change
:11:32. > :11:36.people's lives. In three years they think it will be ready to deploy on
:11:37. > :11:37.premature babies whose chance of survival will be massively
:11:38. > :11:59.increased. On the ... It says they grew bigger, and
:12:00. > :12:12.opened their eyes, which is incredible. And we have the hummus
:12:13. > :12:24.crisis on the front of the Telegraph. Yes, this bad tasting,
:12:25. > :12:29.metallic hummus. I found out a presenter had it for lunch, but you
:12:30. > :12:33.bought it from an upmarket supermarket. I bought it from a
:12:34. > :12:38.different place mentioned here. Other supermarkets are available. I
:12:39. > :12:41.don't know much about this story apart from that in one Sainsbury's
:12:42. > :12:53.store where they were totally out of stock, where the hummus use to be
:12:54. > :12:58.very advertised a recipe on how to make it yourself with directions to
:12:59. > :13:04.the ingredients in the store. That is all for The Papers tonight. Thank
:13:05. > :13:12.you to Rachel and Matthew. Goodbye. Good evening. Another cold and
:13:13. > :13:13.frosty night lies
