:00:00. > 3:59:59In a moment, it is time for the papers, but for the team here,
:00:00. > :00:13.goodbye Finau. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
:00:14. > :00:28.to what the papers will be With me are Kate Devlin,
:00:29. > :00:31.Political Correspondent at The Herald and Martin Bentham,
:00:32. > :00:33.Home Affairs Editor Tomorrow's front pages,
:00:34. > :00:35.starting with... The Financial Times leads
:00:36. > :00:37.with President Trump's calls The Metro opens
:00:38. > :00:40.with one mother's warning to bosses at Drayton Manor four years ago -
:00:41. > :00:43.saying the ride where an 11-year-old girl was killed
:00:44. > :00:47.yesterday was dangerous. The Daily Telegraph says it has
:00:48. > :00:50.a copy of the Labour Party's manifesto - and claims
:00:51. > :00:52.Jeremy Corbyn is planning to re-nationalise energy firms,
:00:53. > :00:59.the railways and Royal Mail. The Daily Mirror also claims to have
:01:00. > :01:07.had access to the Labour manifesto. The I says the UK is facing a huge
:01:08. > :01:10.rise in stroke cases. The Daily Express says a heatwave
:01:11. > :01:19.is about to hit the UK. And they say it means Britain is
:01:20. > :01:24.heading for a drought. The Times talks about a spat between
:01:25. > :01:27.the Chancellor Philip Hammond And the Daily Mail
:01:28. > :01:30.describes the leaked Labour manifesto as the most
:01:31. > :01:40.left-wing in decades. Right, let's start. Martin, would
:01:41. > :01:43.you set us up? Jeremy Corbyn, the manifesto seems to have been
:01:44. > :01:48.exclusively in several papers, which I know it's a bit strange. Let's
:01:49. > :01:55.start with the daily Mirror headline, which says it pretty well.
:01:56. > :01:58.It does. It leads into a peek inside spread as well, detailing this
:01:59. > :02:03.leaked draft, setting out a very extensive range of policies which
:02:04. > :02:10.the Mirror builds very favourably, the other papers we will come to our
:02:11. > :02:15.obviously much less favourable. This says he will fix rip-off Britain,
:02:16. > :02:19.boost NHS schools and scrap tuition fees. Talking about how power and
:02:20. > :02:24.the railways will be renationalised and other policies including
:02:25. > :02:30.abolishing tuition fees. There is an extensive list and inside they say
:02:31. > :02:40.that Labour have pledged to undo the damage of seven years of Tory
:02:41. > :02:44.austerities, describing it as the bullet of red-blooded socialism and
:02:45. > :02:50.then there is a note saying that Tories are rotten to the core, pages
:02:51. > :02:54.six and seven. It is the favourable look at what is a very extensive
:02:55. > :02:59.manifesto, by the looks of things, which all sorts of people will like
:03:00. > :03:02.and others will not. Kate, there is loads of it, particularly within the
:03:03. > :03:07.inside of the mirror, and you can pick out whatever makes you happy or
:03:08. > :03:13.cross really, can't you? I think some of it is what has been missing
:03:14. > :03:15.from Labour's campaign so far. Some of the things they have announced
:03:16. > :03:21.that not really been that different from what Ed Miliband announced
:03:22. > :03:26.basically in the 2015 manifesto, so the question was kind of becoming,
:03:27. > :03:31.what is the point of a veteran socialist taking over the Labour
:03:32. > :03:36.Party if he's not going to have some socialist policies? Which of the
:03:37. > :03:39.things we do say speak to that? I think certainly renationalisation is
:03:40. > :03:43.something that Ed Miliband never wanted to go towards. Scrapping of
:03:44. > :03:48.tuition fees is not something you could have seen in the 2015
:03:49. > :03:52.manifesto. And of course people will say, and how will you pay for it Mr
:03:53. > :03:57.Corbyn? There is quite a lot of detail about that as well? It's
:03:58. > :04:02.mainly pre-things like raising corporation tax, which the Tories
:04:03. > :04:06.claim has been spent several times over and the Labour Party say is
:04:07. > :04:10.fully costed. There is some support for that run the Institute for
:04:11. > :04:14.Fiscal Studies who say that theoretically at least it is paid
:04:15. > :04:19.for, albeit with the risk that corporation tax increases release in
:04:20. > :04:27.lower corporation tax receipts in the long run. Because companies find
:04:28. > :04:31.other ways of doing things. Because actually we have record corporation
:04:32. > :04:37.tax income last year despite corporation tax having gone down. If
:04:38. > :04:40.you ask for public opinion, surveys, things like we nationalising the
:04:41. > :04:46.railways, although it is quite a left-wing thing to do, it tends to
:04:47. > :04:52.get very high approval ratings in public approval ratings. If we look
:04:53. > :04:56.at the Daily Telegraph, same story but the difference lance. Corbyn 's
:04:57. > :05:00.manifesto will take Britain back to the 1970s, amongst other things they
:05:01. > :05:08.have highlighted, trade unions to be welcomed into the Number ten fold.
:05:09. > :05:14.They are also highlighting a pay cap, which they say would also bring
:05:15. > :05:18.us back to the 1970s. Very interestingly, there is detail on
:05:19. > :05:24.what will be a row in labour about defence and it looks like it is the
:05:25. > :05:26.kind of outcome very tense negotiations. Obviously Jeremy
:05:27. > :05:32.Corbyn has long been on the record of being against the nuclear
:05:33. > :05:35.deterrent, will commit to renewal, which of course is already
:05:36. > :05:42.happening, but it will have a cautious use caveat, as it were. It
:05:43. > :05:47.shows the tensions within his own party, even with this kind of
:05:48. > :05:55.manifesto. I like the Daily Mail front page which could have had
:05:56. > :06:08.their headline written by the same sub editor at the Daily Telegraph.
:06:09. > :06:13.That is one of the problems. I was thinking when I looked at this bat
:06:14. > :06:15.may be the 1970s weren't so bad. We had scorching summers, leaves United
:06:16. > :06:19.won the football, but the general won the football, but the general
:06:20. > :06:27.view on it isn't quite so preferable. There is a tremendous
:06:28. > :06:34.list here of policies, assuming this is spot on, and the danger is that
:06:35. > :06:38.it is efficient to appeal to people in lots of ways but also sufficient
:06:39. > :06:46.for people to find things that alarm them and that's the danger of such a
:06:47. > :06:49.long, you know, the longest suicide note in history. The more you set
:06:50. > :06:53.out the more things there are to be a hostage to fortune potholes to be
:06:54. > :06:57.picked in all for people to say, I don't like it. There are some
:06:58. > :07:04.policies that you could see Ed Miliband might forward. He said they
:07:05. > :07:14.would pit paternity leave a month and pay for it. It was said about
:07:15. > :07:20.the last one that there was a policies -- there were policies that
:07:21. > :07:31.did not add up to a call. They said, vote Labour, win a microwave, but
:07:32. > :07:46.that could be indicated again. Labour Party say they do not comment
:07:47. > :07:54.on leaked articles and the Tories -- the Conservative Party has said this
:07:55. > :08:08.is... The article is suggesting that
:08:09. > :08:12.Philip Hammond have infuriated Theresa May's aids by forcing her
:08:13. > :08:17.not to commit to the promise that the Tories had at the last election
:08:18. > :08:21.of not raising VAT and national insurance, which rather pinned them
:08:22. > :08:25.in, and going back to the budget U-turn, which was forced on the
:08:26. > :08:29.Chancellor when he had to scrap the national Insurance rise, so I
:08:30. > :08:33.suppose the question with this is, does it amount to anything public
:08:34. > :08:40.facing, ultimately, because of course if a party is riven by
:08:41. > :08:43.divisions or, as the party would say with Labour, a chaotic lack of
:08:44. > :08:46.clarity as to what the party is standing for and so on, that becomes
:08:47. > :08:51.a problem. If it is just behind-the-scenes fiction... We are
:08:52. > :08:57.in the middle of a campaign about lots of other things? We are
:08:58. > :09:03.certainly not in Blair - Brown territory here. It is not unleashing
:09:04. > :09:06.the forces from next door quite yet but I think tensions between the
:09:07. > :09:10.Prime Minister and the Chancellor are always interesting, are always
:09:11. > :09:13.important, but given the Brexit negotiations were going to have to
:09:14. > :09:19.face them in next two years, one would suggest it is incredibly
:09:20. > :09:24.important at this stage. The Tories have very united front, don't they,
:09:25. > :09:28.in the election campaign, so if that in any way or form disintegrated,
:09:29. > :09:33.that would be damaging to them. At the moment, there is not a great
:09:34. > :09:37.deal of sign of that. Let's go on to the story dominating on the other
:09:38. > :09:40.side of the Atlantic. The Financial Times has this line about defined
:09:41. > :09:47.Trump calls for closer Moscow ties after firing the FBI chief. I don't
:09:48. > :09:53.think we need to go into the ramifications for James Comey, but
:09:54. > :09:59.it is interesting that Sergey Lavrov was meeting Donald Trump. It is not
:10:00. > :10:07.often I would say this but I think the FT have nail beds. The first
:10:08. > :10:12.word is unabashed. Failing -- firing his FBI chief has unleashed a storm
:10:13. > :10:16.against him. Accusations that he has done it just because the FBI were
:10:17. > :10:20.investigating allegations of legs between him and Russia, so what does
:10:21. > :10:28.he do? He calls for warmer links with Russia. It's the kind of
:10:29. > :10:33.plastic trump move. The question is, I was going to say finally, but we
:10:34. > :10:42.have to remember we are illegal month into his presidency. As he
:10:43. > :10:46.underestimated the storm gathering against him, because now people are
:10:47. > :10:48.calling not just for an FBI investigation but for a special
:10:49. > :10:54.investigation into these allegations. The president said I
:10:55. > :10:59.think with some justification that the Democrats wanted this man's head
:11:00. > :11:03.two days ago but now, look at them, they are squealing and complaining.
:11:04. > :11:08.It is Washington politics at its most raw and fascinating, isn't it?
:11:09. > :11:12.It is true that the Democrats were hostile towards James Comey prior to
:11:13. > :11:17.the US election and his actions over Hillary Clinton. It still is a very
:11:18. > :11:23.disturbing way in which he has done this, just do basically humiliate
:11:24. > :11:27.him, to be frank, the FBI chief. And also, if it was driven by what
:11:28. > :11:32.people suspect, that he was disliking the fact he was being
:11:33. > :11:36.investigated himself, but also, I mean, thank goodness the US has got
:11:37. > :11:40.a very healthy, robust Congress and a lot of people there willing to
:11:41. > :11:43.stand up and fight against this type of thing, because otherwise it is
:11:44. > :11:50.quite damaging and dangerous rate to down. But of course one of the
:11:51. > :11:55.institutions has to be upholding the FBI. I'm afraid we have to leave it
:11:56. > :11:59.there, sadly. Kate and Martin, thank you very much indeed. That is it
:12:00. > :12:04.from The Papers this evening. Don't forget you can see the front pages
:12:05. > :12:08.of the papers on the BBC News website, therefore you 24 hours a
:12:09. > :12:10.day, seven days a week. If you missed the programme, you can watch
:12:11. > :12:11.it later be BBC I
