:00:17. > :00:19.Hello, and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:20. > :00:25.With me are the former director of communications for
:00:26. > :00:27.the Conservative Party, Giles Kenningham, and Nigel Nelson,
:00:28. > :00:29.political editor at The Sunday Mirror and Sunday People.
:00:30. > :00:41.Good to see you both. The right and left in harmony on the paper, that
:00:42. > :00:45.is what I like to see. A coalition, not of chaos I hasten to add. Let us
:00:46. > :00:50.The Telegraph is looking at those reports of an apparent Labour surge
:00:51. > :00:53.ahead of the election - saying its campaign is being boosted
:00:54. > :00:55.by fake, automated social media accounts that pump out positive
:00:56. > :00:58.messages about Jeremy Corbyn thousands of times a day.
:00:59. > :01:00.The Times is talking about the possible coalition
:01:01. > :01:02.possibilities if a hung parliament leads to a minority
:01:03. > :01:07.While the Daily Express leads on the Prime Minister's accusation
:01:08. > :01:10.that Mr Corbyn falls short on patriotism and the ability to get
:01:11. > :01:17.The Financial Times looks at Theresa May's efforts to revive
:01:18. > :01:19.what it calls her "faltering" campaign by focussing once again
:01:20. > :01:33.The Guardian focuses on the Donald Trump's decision to dump the Paris
:01:34. > :01:37.And the Metro - very sad - reporting that the injured
:01:38. > :01:39.mother of Saffie Roussos, the youngest child murdered
:01:40. > :01:41.by the Manchester terror attacker, has woken from her coma,
:01:42. > :01:43.and been told of her daughter's death.
:01:44. > :01:48.We are going to start with the breaking news from this evening,
:01:49. > :01:55.Giles, front-page of the Guardian, on a lot of the other front-pages as
:01:56. > :01:59.well. Well. Accuse at US as Trump rejects accord. He has pulled out of
:02:00. > :02:05.the deal signed in 2015. This is no surprise. He stood on this in his
:02:06. > :02:11.manifesto so for once, in one element, it is expected, and I am
:02:12. > :02:17.sure the oil and gas companies are rubbing their hands. However, it
:02:18. > :02:23.does reinforce in view of Trump and America retreat from the world
:02:24. > :02:27.stage, following a protectionist policy and you have to wonder what
:02:28. > :02:33.it does for inward investment in the country. You are not seeing a
:02:34. > :02:40.strategy? Terms of what is going on. It reinforces this view it is lurch
:02:41. > :02:45.from one chaos to another. Really interesting, Giles mentioned there,
:02:46. > :02:49.Nigel, all companies running their hands, they are not. Head of
:02:50. > :02:53.ExxonMobil said it was a mistake. The companies don like this at all.
:02:54. > :03:00.That is a positive of the whole thing. Trump is saying the deal is a
:03:01. > :03:05.job killer. Yes. And, bear in mind the constituency that Trump was
:03:06. > :03:08.appealing to, the kind of person in Pennsylvania, who looked at his
:03:09. > :03:13.steel work, rusting away, and there would be no jobs there for ten
:03:14. > :03:18.years, that is the kind of person he was talking about and the Guardian
:03:19. > :03:21.quotes him as saying I was elected to represent the citizens of
:03:22. > :03:27.Pittsburgh not Paris which is the point. This doesn't come as a
:03:28. > :03:33.surprise, because it is as Giles said a manifesto commitment. It is a
:03:34. > :03:39.tragedy, and unless some kind of alternative deal can be negotiated,
:03:40. > :03:44.then we he will be in real trouble. He says he wants to renegotiate...
:03:45. > :03:52.The Irony is he didn't win Pittsburgh. That is ironic. One of
:03:53. > :03:56.Trump's central pledges was about jobs, and I think his diagnosis was
:03:57. > :04:00.right but the solution is wrong, it is about jobs but the jobs are being
:04:01. > :04:05.taken by the robots no the immigrants. What is really
:04:06. > :04:09.interesting as well is that the Chinese are onboard with this. You
:04:10. > :04:12.know, the Chinese are the biggest polluter, America comes NEC so it
:04:13. > :04:16.would have been really great if America could have stayed onboard
:04:17. > :04:22.for this and Obama's reacted angrily about the whole thing, it will take
:04:23. > :04:26.him a few years to get out of the Paris accord, so on the basis of
:04:27. > :04:34.that, it may well be... It might not happen. We may have a new President
:04:35. > :04:38.by the time. This is classic Trump, he there thinks there are simple
:04:39. > :04:40.solutions to complex problem, Nigel said that will be borne out over the
:04:41. > :04:47.few days. It looks as if he is giving the empee ho voted for him
:04:48. > :04:51.what they wanted. But what is interested, the Chinese, they are
:04:52. > :04:56.not in this necessarily to save the planet, they know that future jobs
:04:57. > :04:59.and growth are based on green energy, green industry, and with the
:05:00. > :05:06.command economy they have, they are going to go full steam ahead and get
:05:07. > :05:13.those jobs. Jobs. China, India, they recognise it can't go on forever.
:05:14. > :05:17.Let us move on then. To the election, the times, interesting
:05:18. > :05:23.this, we will use SNP to give us power, says Labour, this is Corbyn's
:05:24. > :05:27.plan for minority Government revealed according to The Times.
:05:28. > :05:31.Yes, what they are saying, Labour is saying is that in the event they get
:05:32. > :05:35.the most MPs they will govern as a minority, of course, if they do
:05:36. > :05:39.that, the first vote comes along and they fall, so the only way they will
:05:40. > :05:45.be able to do it is with the SNP. The question then, is what kind of
:05:46. > :05:49.deal do you do? Are you talking about a formal coalition, an
:05:50. > :05:53.electoral pact? What, what Emily Thornberry seems to be talking about
:05:54. > :06:00.in The Times is saying what we will do, put the votes up, ask the SNP to
:06:01. > :06:03.side with us, and we will negotiate on a vote by vote basis, should this
:06:04. > :06:07.happen, we are all going to be in another election by the end of
:06:08. > :06:11.testify year it is depress, I would imagine that in the event we get to
:06:12. > :06:16.that situation, there will be some kind of pact and it will have to be
:06:17. > :06:20.a bit more formal. I think this is the perfect storm for the Tories,
:06:21. > :06:27.you couldn't have written a better headline. Maybe you did write it.
:06:28. > :06:32.Linton Cosby will go this is a perfect headline. It reinforces the
:06:33. > :06:36.Conservative message that you know, there is a coalition of chaos,
:06:37. > :06:41.Labour can't form a majority, without being propped up by the SNP.
:06:42. > :06:45.Did Jeremy Corbyn say this? What they have said is they are going to
:06:46. > :06:51.rely on the SNP on a vote by vote basis. That is an assumption. The
:06:52. > :06:55.problem with this story Labour have spent so long not ruling out a
:06:56. > :07:01.coalition, they finally have said we will rule one out but we might need
:07:02. > :07:05.the SNP. They should have ruled this out at the start. There is a huge
:07:06. > :07:09.opportunity cost to not getting this out testify way and saying we won't
:07:10. > :07:13.do one. What we found in the 2015 election this came up on the
:07:14. > :07:17.doorstep, and was a huge concern for people, they don't want Labour being
:07:18. > :07:24.propped up by the SNP, we don't want our money going up north, so for the
:07:25. > :07:31.Tories, it is a perfect gift and a classic case Labour could get a
:07:32. > :07:38.majority. And wipe this out. That sounds a bit weird. The I, you know,
:07:39. > :07:42.much more a firm ground I think for the Conservatives, many people would
:07:43. > :07:45.argue, if they are talking about Brexit, then potentially social
:07:46. > :07:49.care? Look, I mean all the Conservatives want to talk about for
:07:50. > :07:53.the next seven days is Brexit. They want to frame the debate round
:07:54. > :07:58.Brexit because they have a settled position on it. Labour are split on
:07:59. > :08:02.it. It is going to be the defining issue for the next decade. How do
:08:03. > :08:05.you and thatle Brexit, who do you want round the negotiating table and
:08:06. > :08:10.they are trying to get the debate back on to that. Tomorrow you have
:08:11. > :08:15.the BBC debate, between Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, and that is in my
:08:16. > :08:20.mind the last big flash point before we go to the polls. Jeremy Corbyn
:08:21. > :08:24.has had a good week when it comes to the eBates but he hasn't had a game
:08:25. > :08:27.changer, that I need that tomorrow to change the conversation, so, let
:08:28. > :08:31.us see what is going to happen. The pressure is on and it is with the
:08:32. > :08:36.incumbent, you have everything to lose and nothing to gain, so for the
:08:37. > :08:40.Tories if they get a score draw tomorrow they will be happy. All
:08:41. > :08:44.right. I mean... She is not saying what she is going to do as far as
:08:45. > :08:50.the negotiations go either. We no little about it. We now we are out
:08:51. > :08:53.the single market. What else do we know? To keep this conversation
:08:54. > :08:58.going all the way through NEC week it will be tricky for her. OK, let
:08:59. > :09:04.us go on to the telegraph, continuing with the election, fake
:09:05. > :09:09.web accounts boosting Labour's vote. Yes, the suggestion is that Labour,
:09:10. > :09:14.Labour campaigner, they are fro suggesting the Labour Party but they
:09:15. > :09:19.are using bots to generate constant likes on Twitter, on Facebook and so
:09:20. > :09:23.on, Labour have been good at this digital stuff, so, I am curious to
:09:24. > :09:27.know whether they are actually even if it was being done by the party,
:09:28. > :09:32.whether they are breaking any rules or not. I don't see why not either.
:09:33. > :09:37.Did you get up to this kind of thing, I bet you did. What you find
:09:38. > :09:42.when it is done automatically. You are among friends, only us three,
:09:43. > :09:49.did you have bots putting out messages knocking Mr Miliband in
:09:50. > :09:52.2015. No, we didn't. I believe you. Fake news hasn't dominated the
:09:53. > :09:57.election in the way it did with the US elections. Seven days to go. I
:09:58. > :10:02.read this and OK, they have fake bots on Twitter but it is an echo
:10:03. > :10:05.chamber I won't move the dial, Facebook is much more important as a
:10:06. > :10:11.platform. I think the average time someone spends a day on Twitter is a
:10:12. > :10:16.minute, they spend 30, 35 minutes a day on Facebook, it is where it is
:10:17. > :10:22.at. It is where you get high levels of engagement. It is an interesting
:10:23. > :10:26.conversation about fake news. I think Facebook's position on fake
:10:27. > :10:32.news is unsustainable. They need to get their house in order. They say
:10:33. > :10:38.they are a carrier but they are a platform. They need to be subject to
:10:39. > :10:44.guidelines, and held to account. That govern the BBC. They say
:10:45. > :10:47.otherwise. This is your story, BA, you have two minute, explain how
:10:48. > :10:52.awful your weekend was, because of the BA mess. I came back from abroad
:10:53. > :10:57.on BA on the weekend. I wasn't hit as badly as some but I was stuck on
:10:58. > :11:02.the runway from three hours from one a clock, it is a classic example of
:11:03. > :11:08.BA making a bad situation worse. I mean, now, according to the FT they
:11:09. > :11:14.are haggling over who should fit, foot the bill over the insurance pay
:11:15. > :11:18.out for customer, they should pay out and move on. The BA chief
:11:19. > :11:24.executive took three days to comment, looks terrible. I was at
:11:25. > :11:28.Heathrow, on Saturday, zero visibility on the ground, they
:11:29. > :11:30.weren't reassuring passenger, that I were putting out an announcement
:11:31. > :11:34.saying we have cancelled your flight, we are not saying we are
:11:35. > :11:41.putting you up in a hotel, we will make this better, and you know, it
:11:42. > :11:45.is basic crisis management. We agree BA should pay. I wonder whether the
:11:46. > :11:51.chief executive can survive if this goes on. On. Willie Walsh says he
:11:52. > :11:58.thinks it is fine. What is interesting what you were telling
:11:59. > :12:01.ming is that the BA crew still went through the diplomatic channel,
:12:02. > :12:06.breezed through passport control while there were massive queues in
:12:07. > :12:11.the rest of the airport. I got off the flight, after threer hour, there
:12:12. > :12:15.is huge queue, the BA crew barged past everything, going through the
:12:16. > :12:18.diplomatic channel, they spent too much time talking about how they are
:12:19. > :12:23.the world's favourite airline, get on and deliver it. Well, we all know
:12:24. > :12:29.the problems that many people had, BA say it was a power surge that
:12:30. > :12:35.caused prisons with the computer, now this haggling over the claims
:12:36. > :12:44.bill that could help dent more their reputation, finally Nigel. Lego. You
:12:45. > :12:54.are a big fan. Indeed. Gender bias in Legoland. It is from a physicist
:12:55. > :12:59.rather than a psychiatrist but it a woman, she is saying that lego is
:13:00. > :13:04.going backwards, it used to be much more gender equal than it is now, I
:13:05. > :13:09.just don't believe any of this, that her argument is that kids would
:13:10. > :13:15.actually play with gender neutral kind of toys and swap over and so
:13:16. > :13:18.on, my kids when pyres of the Caribbean were on they were billing
:13:19. > :13:25.the pirate ship, whatever the film, Star Wars they were building. Which
:13:26. > :13:32.is big now. And the girls would play with sort of ponies and cuddly
:13:33. > :13:45.animals, hasn't it always been like that is? I don't know, are there too
:13:46. > :13:52.many pink bricks I do think this is political correctness gone mad. Many
:13:53. > :13:56.thanks for looking at some the stories behind the headline, that is
:13:57. > :14:00.it for the paper, you can see the front-pages online on the BBC News
:14:01. > :14:08.web. There for you seven days a week.
:14:09. > :14:14.If you missed the programme, get a mug of cocoa and watch it online.
:14:15. > :14:15.Thanks to you two and thanks for watching.
