:00:00. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what The Papers will be

:00:19. > :00:25.With me are broadcaster Rachel Shabi and political

:00:26. > :00:35.Let's just take a look at some of the front pages before we speak to

:00:36. > :00:36.them. The Mail on Sunday focuses

:00:37. > :00:39.on pensions, reporting that Theresa May will bring in new laws

:00:40. > :00:41.to prevent a repeat of the Sir Philip Green BHS scandal

:00:42. > :00:45.if she wins the election. The Observer leads on this weekend's

:00:46. > :00:50.meeting of EU leaders saying they want the UK to provide

:00:51. > :00:54.guarantees to EU citizens living in Britain before any

:00:55. > :00:59.trade talks can begin. The Sunday Times reports

:01:00. > :01:02.that the other EU member states have rejected Theresa May's negotiating

:01:03. > :01:05.position and accused her of living in a "parallel reality".

:01:06. > :01:12.The Sunday Telegraph says the Prime Minister has rejected

:01:13. > :01:15.the demands coming from Brussels with politicians on both sides

:01:16. > :01:18.of the Channel warning that the talks could turn nasty.

:01:19. > :01:38.The Sunday Express concentrates -- it also features Anthony Joshua,

:01:39. > :01:41.who beat Wladimir Klitschko yesterday at Wembley Stadium. The

:01:42. > :01:45.Sunday Express concentrates on the investigation

:01:46. > :01:47.into the disappearance of Madeleine McCann,

:01:48. > :01:49.ten years after she went missing. It says Scotland Yard's

:01:50. > :01:51.prime suspect is a woman. And the Sunday Mirror has

:01:52. > :01:53.an interview with Madeleine's mother, Kate, who says

:01:54. > :02:09.she still buys her there we are. Now let's begin with

:02:10. > :02:12.the newspapers. We are going back to the mail on Sunday. Lots of them

:02:13. > :02:18.covering the election. What strikes me about it is Theresa May going

:02:19. > :02:23.into bat and Jeremy Corbyn, a bit more predictable, on the matter of

:02:24. > :02:27.business malpractice, if you like. Absolutely. Going after

:02:28. > :02:33.irresponsible bosses. This revelation came from a Mail on

:02:34. > :02:38.Sunday into the with Theresa May. If I lived in a country where the press

:02:39. > :02:46.was regulated by the state, that would be how the interview would

:02:47. > :02:51.read. It is very flattering. K the Mail on Sunday tend to support the

:02:52. > :03:04.Tories. This policy pledge has been dubbed an anti-Philip Green Charter.

:03:05. > :03:10.He sold BHS for a pound and left a massive pension deficit. This is the

:03:11. > :03:15.Prime Minister pledging to introduce regulation that. Companies from

:03:16. > :03:20.trading, or selling other companies, if that is a move to strip a pension

:03:21. > :03:26.fund. You would think that regulation would exist to stop that

:03:27. > :03:31.already. We go back to the days of Robert Maxwell. She is promising a

:03:32. > :03:36.new look to make it illegal to recklessly put pension schemes at

:03:37. > :03:42.risk. It is amazing that is not illegal already. It seems like a bad

:03:43. > :03:49.thing. She was batting on Labour's to some extent. Lots of people think

:03:50. > :03:54.she is parking had tank on the Labour lawn. You reach out to people

:03:55. > :04:00.not in your core vote. You should not be so surprised she is reaching

:04:01. > :04:06.out to that sort of territory. Let's go on to the Observer and talking

:04:07. > :04:10.about Labour. They want to outlaw zero hours contracts. That sounds

:04:11. > :04:14.nice ambition but they have become extremely common. This is

:04:15. > :04:19.fascinating. That story is Theresa May wanting to interfere with the

:04:20. > :04:22.free running a business. This story is Labour saying exactly the same

:04:23. > :04:28.thing. Labour wants to deal with rip-off bosses and the rest of it.

:04:29. > :04:34.This is called, unashamedly, left-wing pitch to British workers.

:04:35. > :04:43.Theresa May's was easy Justin is standing up to British workers. It

:04:44. > :04:48.is intriguing. Banning zero our contracts and putting a halt to

:04:49. > :04:58.unpaid internships and ending the cap for public sector pay. I'm not

:04:59. > :05:05.sure how it will work in practice. There is the argument of where do

:05:06. > :05:11.you pay for it. Zero hours contracts pledged to ban is a smart move by

:05:12. > :05:15.the Labour Party. It is recognising the economy has changed. One in 36

:05:16. > :05:20.people is now in a zero hours contracts. To be clear, people don't

:05:21. > :05:24.want to be on these terms. They don't want to go to work from week

:05:25. > :05:31.to week and not know how many hours they are working. Flexible working

:05:32. > :05:35.might suit some people but it is not the same as a zero hours contract

:05:36. > :05:39.and nothing is guaranteed. They are different things. We have heard some

:05:40. > :05:47.terrible stories about people on zero hours contracts. He was --

:05:48. > :05:50.there was someone in a sports distribution centre saying that kids

:05:51. > :05:54.were going home alone because parents were being randomly told to

:05:55. > :05:59.work extra hours. The kids could not call them because they are not

:06:00. > :06:03.allowed mobile phones in the buildings. You have to think, that

:06:04. > :06:08.kind of thing, actually we do need to have measures to stop that

:06:09. > :06:12.happening. Also flesh on the bones about how they will do it. It is a

:06:13. > :06:18.good idea. How you will do it and make sure it does not cost jobs or

:06:19. > :06:24.money is another thing. That is something we will not see in this

:06:25. > :06:29.campaign. We still have six weeks to go. Let's go on to the European

:06:30. > :06:34.Union being beastly to this country. A front page of the observer says,

:06:35. > :06:40.the EU threatens Theresa May on trade talks and citizen rights. It

:06:41. > :06:49.is very combo to the language. Be you has basically said to Theresa

:06:50. > :06:53.May -- the EU has basically said to Theresa May these are the

:06:54. > :06:59.parameters. We have established these parameters. We will need to

:07:00. > :07:03.have some agreement on EU citizens. We will need to have agreements on

:07:04. > :07:10.Northern Ireland and the border and we will need agreements on the exit

:07:11. > :07:14.bill. All that before we move on to what the future policies, the

:07:15. > :07:19.trading relationships and everything else looks like. That is just a

:07:20. > :07:25.statement of the parameters of the negotiations. It is extraordinary

:07:26. > :07:32.this has been played as the EU trying to stitch up... It is the

:07:33. > :07:37.obvious story to put on the front page for a Brexit election.

:07:38. > :07:47.There is a lot of newspaper hyperbole going on. Then we are

:07:48. > :07:51.going on to the Sunday Times. This wonderful expression about living in

:07:52. > :08:03.another galaxy, according to Brussels. I am not sure who said

:08:04. > :08:07.that. It is a bit disobliging. It is extraordinary that Theresa May is

:08:08. > :08:11.getting a reputation for being a good negotiator. The EU is saying

:08:12. > :08:16.she sucks at it she is not able to comprehend basic terms that are

:08:17. > :08:20.being offered to her. There is quite the disparity between her image and

:08:21. > :08:24.the reality. In the real world, the Prime Minister will not be doing any

:08:25. > :08:31.negotiating. It is up to people like David Davis and so one, and the

:08:32. > :08:35.negotiators. It depends on what the outcome will be. It is a

:08:36. > :08:41.negotiation. What the front pages are saying is the British government

:08:42. > :08:46.has one position and the EU has another. That is the bottom line.

:08:47. > :08:51.They will negotiate to try to find common ground. It does not bode

:08:52. > :09:06.well. This fascinating dinner in the week where the Prime Minister had a

:09:07. > :09:12.meeting. All these European leaders. They phoned up Angela Merkel and

:09:13. > :09:19.said we have a different issue. We are in different galaxies. A few

:09:20. > :09:24.hours later, she said, Brexit means Brexit. There is a fascinating story

:09:25. > :09:30.to be told about that. I would love to read about that in the future.

:09:31. > :09:36.Let's go onto another story. Rachel, I think it is your turn again.

:09:37. > :09:39.Labour donor. This is in the Sunday Times. Labour donor to stand. I

:09:40. > :09:46.think it is a threat to stand against him, isn't it? Someone

:09:47. > :09:51.called Michael Foster. Michael Foster is a publicity guy. He has

:09:52. > :10:00.very top shelf clients, including Chris Evans, I'd think. Top drawer,

:10:01. > :10:06.I think you mean. He got suspended from the Labour Party because he

:10:07. > :10:11.likened supporters of Jeremy Corbyn to Nazi storm troopers. Here's a big

:10:12. > :10:16.founder of the Labour Party. He has given more than 400,000 to Labour

:10:17. > :10:22.since 2010 according to the Sunday Times. He thinks that what they is

:10:23. > :10:27.now, six weeks ahead of an election, is to change its leadership. The

:10:28. > :10:33.fascinating thing is that is not backed up by the polling. Buried in

:10:34. > :10:39.the story is a poll. Last week, the Sunday Times did a poll made it the

:10:40. > :10:44.splash. This week's is buried in the story right away at the bottom. It

:10:45. > :10:52.shows that Labour has closed the gap to 13 point is clearly a big gap but

:10:53. > :10:57.it has been closed by ten points with the bat is amazing given that

:10:58. > :11:00.Jeremy Corbyn and his team are up against his reputation and the vast

:11:01. > :11:06.majority of the printed press. And yet he is catching up. Quite

:11:07. > :11:12.rapidly. Still a long campaign to go. If he keeps catching up by ten

:11:13. > :11:17.points per week he will win a landslide. Opinion pollsters have

:11:18. > :11:23.had an even worse time. It is noteworthy. Whatever you think will

:11:24. > :11:28.happen in the future. Closing the gap by ten points is noteworthy,

:11:29. > :11:32.isn't it? It is one poll. If newspapers are going to write

:11:33. > :11:38.stories about one poll, they need to choose which one they choose. Let's

:11:39. > :11:43.go across the Atlantic. James, we have a very familiar man giving a

:11:44. > :11:54.very familiar salute. An important day for Donald Trump. 100 days is or

:11:55. > :11:58.is a big deal in American politics. 100 days since JFK started with the

:11:59. > :12:03.100 days being a thing. If there were not an election on, the Sunday

:12:04. > :12:09.papers would be full of analysis pieces about Donald Trump's 100

:12:10. > :12:12.days. As it is, it is not such a big deal, which is probably a good

:12:13. > :12:15.thing. How many other through the want to think about what has

:12:16. > :12:21.happened in the last 100 days and what will happen in the next? There

:12:22. > :12:24.will be 1200, 1300 days to go of this presidency. I was just

:12:25. > :12:29.wondering if people had calendars with the countdown, crossing off the

:12:30. > :12:34.days. I am sure they do. That is quite a lot of days. Apparently he

:12:35. > :12:39.is finding it harder than he thought it would be. It is always used as a

:12:40. > :12:44.sort of measure about how the new boy, or new woman, is getting on.

:12:45. > :12:52.When you tick of the things that have been achieved against the

:12:53. > :12:54.things you want to do, it is controversial. There is a disparity

:12:55. > :12:57.between what he said he would do and what he actually in reality has

:12:58. > :13:02.managed to achieve. Whether that is because the legal system intervened,

:13:03. > :13:11.as was the case with the Muslim ban as it came to be known. That is not

:13:12. > :13:15.constitutional. Or whether it is parliamentarians saying, no. We are

:13:16. > :13:19.not going to sanction the building of the wall or the repeal of the

:13:20. > :13:24.Bama care. One way or another the things he has wanted to do has been

:13:25. > :13:29.obstructed or cancelled out. It is interesting that that does not seem

:13:30. > :13:35.to have really affected his base. His supporters are still really

:13:36. > :13:39.happy with him. Indeed. It has not really dented his popularity of

:13:40. > :13:44.reputation among his supporters. That is curious. It makes you think

:13:45. > :13:53.what actually would change that. Someone who has had a good hundred

:13:54. > :13:58.days is his daughter Ivanca. It is interesting the way she is seen as

:13:59. > :14:05.the one person who could tell the president what is going on and

:14:06. > :14:14.present a good place to the world? I don't really understand how this is

:14:15. > :14:19.possible. Members of the German press obviously should be asked. We

:14:20. > :14:26.actually don't know what your role is. What in fact does the first

:14:27. > :14:30.daughter do? You can imagine them saying, we have had a look at the

:14:31. > :14:38.past. This is not in your constitution. I think that is the

:14:39. > :14:44.question that needs to be repeated. She is seeing James as a stable

:14:45. > :14:52.centre in the middle of the White House. It is a good business. Who is

:14:53. > :14:59.she accountable to. She and Jerry are regarded as this voice of

:15:00. > :15:08.reason. She is his daughter. She has inherited some kind of sense. I am

:15:09. > :15:15.intrigued how that has fit together. It is about where he has got the

:15:16. > :15:34.sense from. Is it just in comparison to her father who is completely mad.

:15:35. > :15:44.The old sport of boxing, coming back with a wallop and Anthony Joshua. It

:15:45. > :15:50.was a heck of a fight. 90,000 people going mad at Wembley Stadium. It is

:15:51. > :15:54.a sports story on the front page. It does not happen that often these

:15:55. > :16:01.days. There was a time when the Grand National winner, sport does

:16:02. > :16:06.not get onto the front pages quite as often. At the end of the day a

:16:07. > :16:09.man has battered another man in front of 90,000 baying fans. The

:16:10. > :16:17.older I get the more uncomfortable I get. I did not watch it but I love

:16:18. > :16:25.the stories about a comeback from a sixth round knock-down. Everyone

:16:26. > :16:31.loves those stories. That is it from the papers. My grateful thanks to my

:16:32. > :16:39.guest. Let's take a look at tomorrow's FrontPage is --

:16:40. > :16:42.Just a reminder, we take a look at tomorrow's front pages every

:16:43. > :16:44.evening at 10:40pm here on BBC News.
