:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:19. > :00:21.With me are the Political Commentator, Jane Merrick
:00:22. > :00:23.and Martin Bentham, Home Affairs Editor
:00:24. > :00:27.Tomorrow's front pages, starting with.
:00:28. > :00:36.The Financial Times leads with the White House's pledge to cut taxes
:00:37. > :00:38.and 'unleash' the US economy. The i reports on the news that two
:00:39. > :00:42.football clubs have been raided as part of an investigation into
:00:43. > :00:44.allegations of tax fraud. A poll on the front of the Metro suggests that
:00:45. > :00:52.Theresa May is Britain's most popular leader of the last forty
:00:53. > :00:54.years. The Prime Minister is pictured on the front page of The
:00:55. > :00:56.Daily Telegraph - greeting the President of the European Commission
:00:57. > :00:59.in Downing Street this evening. The paper reports that Britain will be
:01:00. > :01:06.tied to Europe's human rights laws for another five years. The Times
:01:07. > :01:08.leads with a warning from the pharmaceutical industry that the
:01:09. > :01:10.world's biggest drug companies could abandon Britain unless the NHS
:01:11. > :01:16.receives an extra ?20 billion a year. And finally, The Guardian
:01:17. > :01:18.reports that large numbers of foreign fighters are abandoning
:01:19. > :01:29.Islamic State and depleting the ranks of the terror group. We will
:01:30. > :01:35.look at some of those in more detail. Jane takers to the Telegraph
:01:36. > :01:39.with Theresa May keeping Britain tied to human rights laws. The
:01:40. > :01:47.Telegraph are saying the manifesto when it comes which we are expecting
:01:48. > :01:53.in a few weeks will make no mention of the UK pulling out of the
:01:54. > :01:56.European convention on human rights. This is something she spoke about
:01:57. > :02:00.last year, the right of the party wanted this wrapped up in the Brexit
:02:01. > :02:05.hill but I think the reality of this is that it'll be too much of a
:02:06. > :02:09.distraction to have to go through that as there is an election going
:02:10. > :02:14.on and she has the capital to do this. She has a huge poll lead and
:02:15. > :02:21.she needs to appeal to voters in the centre so she can irritate the
:02:22. > :02:29.right-wing. How do you see the destruction argument Martin? It is a
:02:30. > :02:32.valid argument, there is an electoral tactic here, trying to
:02:33. > :02:37.keep a very simple, that is a clear strategy that they are adopting but
:02:38. > :02:42.secondly there is a straightforward practical issue that when it comes
:02:43. > :02:44.to delivering legislation this was a manifesto commitment by David
:02:45. > :02:49.Cameron to replace the Human Rights Act which is all silent to what
:02:50. > :02:55.would theoretically happen if we pulled out, they would have to have
:02:56. > :02:58.some sort of replacement in the domestic law and it's a very
:02:59. > :03:02.complicated thing to do. Whether it is right or wrong is a different
:03:03. > :03:06.debate but on a practical level it is complicated and the government
:03:07. > :03:14.has to devote an enormous amount of energy to the deal. I think they
:03:15. > :03:23.simply want have time to do this. The photograph implies that her and
:03:24. > :03:27.her counterpart are getting along very well. This is our so-called
:03:28. > :03:37.great enemy of Europe are having an almost clinch there. Heaven forbid.
:03:38. > :03:44.Takers to the front of the Metro which takes us to the popularity of
:03:45. > :03:49.Theresa May. This is a poll from my paper that they are stolen.
:03:50. > :03:56.Basically what it says is that she is the most popular leader, 61% of
:03:57. > :04:03.voters judge is the most capable candidate ahead of Tony Blair, who
:04:04. > :04:08.had 52%. Margaret Thatcher 40% and now this is the most capable of the
:04:09. > :04:13.leaders who are available so I suppose you might posit that against
:04:14. > :04:18.Jeremy Corbyn who is not well rated I suppose. You measure it against
:04:19. > :04:24.that's where the other leaders are measured against... Clearly the
:04:25. > :04:28.comparison between Thatcher and major something people have made so
:04:29. > :04:33.this will be delightful reading to Tory essential officers who were
:04:34. > :04:42.playing on Theresa May's strengths as the leader. They will be happy.
:04:43. > :04:46.We heard in the House of Commons today and she was repeating this
:04:47. > :04:52.line and we can see why she is, strong and stable leadership and she
:04:53. > :04:55.repeated I don't know 12 times. We were talking about the repeating of
:04:56. > :05:01.lines earlier and how much it gets to the point when people do get
:05:02. > :05:05.thoroughly sick. They'd do but a home that cuts through and I think
:05:06. > :05:09.people only take away one line and that will be what they have done
:05:10. > :05:13.today as well as her coalition of chaos. I suppose if you think back
:05:14. > :05:16.to the Brexit debate and the referendum then there was the take
:05:17. > :05:22.back control which was repeated ad in the martyrdom but it does cut
:05:23. > :05:29.through and resonate. Maybe that strategy is right. In terms of
:05:30. > :05:34.policies you spoke about the triple pension block whereby the pension
:05:35. > :05:39.will go up by three different determinants and we are not quite
:05:40. > :05:44.sure where they are going with that at the moment? Yes she was asked by
:05:45. > :05:50.Angus Robinson to scrap it and she didn't so it is clear that it is on
:05:51. > :05:53.the table. It's possible this could be a positive argument, she could
:05:54. > :05:57.say we're just going to ease this slightly, it doesn't have to be
:05:58. > :06:01.taking so much money away from pensioners but she can make the
:06:02. > :06:06.argument that money is needed for social care and as she said earlier
:06:07. > :06:11.she has the political capital to do this I think it would be a tough
:06:12. > :06:15.choice. Pensioners do vote in large numbers. They do but the question
:06:16. > :06:23.would be whoever going to vote for instead and it depends what they
:06:24. > :06:26.come up with. I know they are assessing different options but if
:06:27. > :06:29.they increase inflation and this is close with that level anyway so it
:06:30. > :06:33.wouldn't make a huge amount of difference that would give them more
:06:34. > :06:39.flexibility in terms of finances coming forward. The front of the
:06:40. > :06:44.Times has a very ominous photograph with North commune missiles in range
:06:45. > :06:50.of US. This is very concerning and it has been for a few weeks but
:06:51. > :06:55.there is this terrifying rhetoric from Admiral Harry Harris is the top
:06:56. > :07:00.US commander in the Pacific saying if it flies it will die, that sort
:07:01. > :07:03.of rhetoric and we hear it from Donald Trump but from other people
:07:04. > :07:09.in the administration, I think what is needed is a cooler talk and it is
:07:10. > :07:16.very worrying that I think maybe they see if they step up the strong
:07:17. > :07:20.rhetoric it will terrify North Korea but I'm not sure it will. Also they
:07:21. > :07:24.are trying to pressurise China which is the big strategy and when Donald
:07:25. > :07:28.Trump keep saying this is a problem which has to be resolved, of course
:07:29. > :07:31.there is a danger that he talks itself into a corner and gets the
:07:32. > :07:35.point where he has to do something because he is so committed to saying
:07:36. > :07:46.we have to this out. Clearly his whole strategy which is a high risk
:07:47. > :07:49.one. His strategy is to hope that the Chinese can exert leveraged on
:07:50. > :07:55.North Korea and I'm not sure why really because to remove the threat
:07:56. > :08:00.altogether would be an enormous step and unfortunately while they still
:08:01. > :08:03.have weapons and while they are developing weapons is problematic
:08:04. > :08:10.because you still have an unstable leader causing danger. One of the
:08:11. > :08:14.North Korean arguments featured last evening here was they took one look
:08:15. > :08:18.at Colonel Gaddafi got rid of his nuclear weapons and look what
:08:19. > :08:24.happened to him. Yes. That is where they come from. The front page of
:08:25. > :08:31.the Guardian, Martin and this is another huge international foreign
:08:32. > :08:36.affairs. With particular reference to the so-called Islamic State. It
:08:37. > :08:41.is good news in a sense that Islamic State is being depleted, on the
:08:42. > :08:46.retreat it seems in Iraq and Syria and so on. That is broadly a good
:08:47. > :08:50.thing and reduces the appeal and becomes harder for people to go
:08:51. > :08:54.there and much less appealing and our people on the back foot seemed
:08:55. > :08:59.to not be as successful as they once were. The flip side is that people
:09:00. > :09:03.are starting to leave and from a domestic point of view they talk
:09:04. > :09:08.about Britain who have been arrested by Turkish authorities on the
:09:09. > :09:11.Turkish Syrian border having been in Syria and apparently they are facing
:09:12. > :09:22.charges there and could face charges here if you came back. There is a
:09:23. > :09:27.big concern here among domestic security about people from their
:09:28. > :09:30.coming back. It is unclear how many people how many will, there is a
:09:31. > :09:34.theory that some people just want to martyr themselves and therefore not
:09:35. > :09:37.many will but anybody who does who has had any battle experience for
:09:38. > :09:43.example is going to be highly problematic. I'm not entirely clear
:09:44. > :09:50.if we're talking about people whose mindset has been changed as a result
:09:51. > :09:53.of leaving and that is different. Yes they can live Syria and Iraq and
:09:54. > :09:58.have they left the Islamic State completely? Every time there is an
:09:59. > :10:02.attack in Europe, Isis loves to jump on it because it knows it is being
:10:03. > :10:07.weakened in Syria and Iraq and wants to appear strong in Europe terrify
:10:08. > :10:10.people in cities in Europe. This does show that they are being
:10:11. > :10:15.severely depleted in this countries but as you say it is whether they
:10:16. > :10:20.are leaving Islamic State mentally as well as physically. Some people
:10:21. > :10:24.have certainly left that area but haven't left that ideology behind
:10:25. > :10:27.and the role... The role Turkey plays once they arrive in Turkey
:10:28. > :10:30.will be interesting. That is positive because they have been more
:10:31. > :10:37.robust at closing the Borders and try to pick people up. Time to
:10:38. > :10:46.squeeze to Morin. Let's talk football. The taxman tackles
:10:47. > :10:50.football elite. In regards to West Ham in Newcastle today. This will
:10:51. > :11:02.continue to evolve over the coming few months where this extensive
:11:03. > :11:10.road we don't know the rights and wrongs of this. Clearly there is a
:11:11. > :11:16.major investigation which could end badly for the people in these clubs
:11:17. > :11:28.and on other clubs as it widens. It is widening as you say. I think
:11:29. > :11:36.football is going to a terrible time with repeated scandals. They are
:11:37. > :11:44.having an incredible management issue and financial issues. It's not
:11:45. > :11:51.a new thing unfortunately, in Spain you had Messi being convicted
:11:52. > :11:57.therefore tax offences or a tax offence I should say. This is trying
:11:58. > :12:02.to minimise these people who are well paid in a rich industry who are
:12:03. > :12:12.allegedly trying to minimise tax in ways that according to the Fifa may
:12:13. > :12:15.not be legitimate is quite concerning I think. Difficult if you
:12:16. > :12:18.are a Newcastle fan who has just been promoted to the Premier League.
:12:19. > :12:22.They shouldn't be worrying about things like this. We have one
:12:23. > :12:34.minutes less to discuss the sponsorship of the M1 motorway. It
:12:35. > :12:39.is quite a strange suggestion. I had to check the date on the paper. The
:12:40. > :12:44.head of the AA is suggesting you could have sponsorships of
:12:45. > :12:59.motorways, the story he is proposing is Morrison's and other supermarkets
:13:00. > :13:03.to get investments for road. The thing is when you drive up the
:13:04. > :13:15.motorway you see adverts for lots of things for service stations and it
:13:16. > :13:19.is one step. I find it depressing. They don't want to attach themselves
:13:20. > :13:25.to the monotonous prospect of driving along a motorway. The sale
:13:26. > :13:32.of public assets and the sale of the name, I find it is up to them of a
:13:33. > :13:34.football club but certain things should remain free.
:13:35. > :13:37.Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online
:13:38. > :13:42.It's all there for you - 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk
:13:43. > :13:44.forward slash papers - and if you miss the programme any
:13:45. > :14:09.evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.
