:00:14. > :00:20.Hello. This is BBC News with Martine Croxall.
:00:21. > :00:26.We'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment,
:00:27. > :00:29.first the headlines at just after 11pm.
:00:30. > :00:32.Theresa May battles back amid speculation over her leadership
:00:33. > :00:37.a full five-year term as prime minister, and says it's time
:00:38. > :00:43.What I am feeling is that actually there is a job to be done.
:00:44. > :00:45.And I think what the public want is to
:00:46. > :00:48.ensure that the government is getting on with the job.
:00:49. > :00:50.Meanwhile, he's back in the cabinet -
:00:51. > :00:54.Michael Gove returns in a reshuffle, a year after Theresa may sacked him.
:00:55. > :00:55.Police investigating the Manchester concert
:00:56. > :00:57.bombing say they're now sure the attacker, Salman Abedi,
:00:58. > :01:01.And further success for France's Emmanuel Macron
:01:02. > :01:04.as his party looks set to secure a huge majority
:01:05. > :01:20.in the country's parliamentary elections.
:01:21. > :01:33.Still dizzy from the experience of an hour ago, hello and welcome to
:01:34. > :01:37.what to make our look at what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
:01:38. > :01:38.With us are Yasmin Alibhai Brown and Economic Adviser for Arbuthnot Ruth
:01:39. > :01:49.Lea. Welcome to you both. Rebecca Hunter and an Jarran Reed
:01:50. > :02:00.believe you should have your own show! There you go! Let's begin.
:02:01. > :02:02.Tomorrow's front pages starting with the i...
:02:03. > :02:06.It leads with the news that one of the big hitters of the Leave
:02:07. > :02:09.campaign is back in government as Michael Gove is made environment
:02:10. > :02:11.The Metro uses George Osborne's description
:02:12. > :02:14.of the Prime Minister as a "dead woman walking" for its headline,
:02:15. > :02:17.with the former chancellor saying she could be out within days.
:02:18. > :02:20.The Express focuses on Boris Johnson's plea to the party
:02:21. > :02:23.to get behind the Prime Minister over fears Tory infighting
:02:24. > :02:25.over her leadership will damage the party further.
:02:26. > :02:27.The Telegraph's reports that Michael Gove has been drafted
:02:28. > :02:31.potential leadership challenges, the paper claiming it's
:02:32. > :02:34.the Prime Minister's way of showing she can work with her critics.
:02:35. > :02:38.of Remainer Damien Green to First Secretary of State
:02:39. > :02:41.is a sign her position on Brexit is softening,
:02:42. > :02:44.with a possible rethink on remaining in the customs union.
:02:45. > :02:46.The Guardian says the Prime Minister plans to win
:02:47. > :02:49.back support from her party by adopting a more collegiate style
:02:50. > :02:52.of leadership following criticism that senior colleagues had been shut
:02:53. > :02:55.And the Daily Mail says she will go even further,
:02:56. > :02:59.throwing out whole chunks of the manifesto in a bid to keep
:03:00. > :03:02.The Financial Times repeats George Osborne's claim Theresa May
:03:03. > :03:05.is a dead woman walking, signalling that business leaders
:03:06. > :03:07.will take her weakness as an opportunity to push
:03:08. > :03:11.for the softer Brexit the City favours.
:03:12. > :03:21.Nods and shakes of heads? It is all very balanced around this table.
:03:22. > :03:29.Let's begin with the Telegraph. Just because you have somebody inside the
:03:30. > :03:34.current ten doesn't mean that you can keep them in line. No, but you
:03:35. > :03:37.can keep your eye on them. I'm surprised that she brought in some
:03:38. > :03:44.DeLaet Michael Gove, who has betrayed everybody in the party.
:03:45. > :03:51.But, as an interesting set of decisions, there were certainly no
:03:52. > :04:00.changes. -- like Michael Gove. I think she is trying very hard not to
:04:01. > :04:03.make any new enemies. He is a good communicator, though, Michael Gove,
:04:04. > :04:12.is he? I am a big fan of Michael Gove. I think is terrific guy. It is
:04:13. > :04:16.interesting the Telegraph has put the headline here, but it just sort
:04:17. > :04:20.of confirms in my view that I think Theresa May's and to be Prime
:04:21. > :04:24.Minister for some time yet. I don't think there is any eminent challenge
:04:25. > :04:29.to her leadership. -- imminent. They need to get the Queens Beach out the
:04:30. > :04:33.weight, the Brexit talks under way, and see how it goes. I think the
:04:34. > :04:43.other aspect that is interesting about this story is that the
:04:44. > :04:46.promised brings in others in this reshuffle. -- Queen's Speech. The
:04:47. > :04:55.Telegraph, perhaps because this is its wish list, says that coming back
:04:56. > :05:03.in. If we look at the times, it is the opposite. Yesterday, at Gavin
:05:04. > :05:08.Barwell, who lost the seat, Croydon Central, on Thursday, he was a
:05:09. > :05:15.remain, he has been pointed chief of staff days we -- been appointed
:05:16. > :05:21.chief of staff at Downing Street. Yes, this is interesting. The two
:05:22. > :05:26.major papers disagreeing with each other. I personally believe that
:05:27. > :05:30.Theresa May set out her stall on negotiating stance when she wrote to
:05:31. > :05:35.Donald Tusk, when she was triggering Article 50, at the end of March. She
:05:36. > :05:43.said out of the single market, after the customs union, and of course,
:05:44. > :05:47.having a close trade relationship, a free-trade agreement, and eight
:05:48. > :05:51.close agreement on security, and I personally believe that is right.
:05:52. > :05:56.And I don't think that Greenies make a big difference. It is not just
:05:57. > :06:01.Green. So Michael Fallon said, and I wash it, and it was an interesting
:06:02. > :06:05.moment, he has been very loyal, that he is now shifting and now saying
:06:06. > :06:15.that he is after a more business friendly Brexit. -- Green. Do you
:06:16. > :06:27.know what? Economists are not always right. They are. I am. Please give
:06:28. > :06:32.the talking stick to Ruth, just a moment. I am not always right, but I
:06:33. > :06:36.write most of the time. I am more right than most economists are. But
:06:37. > :06:41.I think when I said, you that Theresa May wanted a close trade
:06:42. > :06:45.relationship with Europe, I think that is what Michael Fallon is talk
:06:46. > :06:53.about. And I would like to see a continuation of tariff free trade.
:06:54. > :06:57.If we are at the customs union, Art of the single market, I think there
:06:58. > :07:03.will be some control of immigration from the EU. Full-back for a moment,
:07:04. > :07:06.because much earlier in the evening, we were asked why it you are so
:07:07. > :07:14.convinced, as an economist, that being outside the EU in the hardest
:07:15. > :07:19.Brexit will not be a problem for Britain? -- out of the single
:07:20. > :07:22.market. I would like a free-trade agreement. There are some people who
:07:23. > :07:26.are harder than I am. They don't want any free-trade agreement at
:07:27. > :07:29.all. I don't think that would be optimal. But having a trade
:07:30. > :07:33.agreement, I don't see really why our trade should suffer from that.
:07:34. > :07:36.And if you think about it, they're actually quite a lot of countries
:07:37. > :07:41.that trade with the EU that are not even in a trade agreement with the
:07:42. > :07:46.EU. And you know how long it takes them to negotiate? Stop, stop, stop.
:07:47. > :07:50.They are not even in a trade agreement. And the fact is that
:07:51. > :07:56.trade is actually flourishing. Look at new Chinese trade. Look at EU
:07:57. > :07:59.trade with the US. But even that the point that if we're talking about
:08:00. > :08:03.happy to have a trade agreement, it could take years to negotiate? I
:08:04. > :08:07.think with the EU, it could be done within two or three years. I love
:08:08. > :08:11.you dearly, I really do. You are some of the love talking to. You are
:08:12. > :08:15.taking this country down a line which, when things fall apart, are
:08:16. > :08:20.you going to take responsibility? I will have to admit that I would have
:08:21. > :08:24.been wrong. That will be too late! People will be lose their jobs! It
:08:25. > :08:29.is going to happen. Brexit will happen. And I hope that I pray and I
:08:30. > :08:32.do believe that there will be a very good trade agreement between
:08:33. > :08:37.ourselves and EU and the UK. Because it is in the EU's interest to do so?
:08:38. > :08:45.Absolutely. They have the greatest trade surplus with us. Key pledges
:08:46. > :08:51.being axed as the price of Cabinet support? It will be interesting,
:08:52. > :08:56.Yasmin, to see what she can go through with, given that she doesn't
:08:57. > :09:04.have a majority? I think the policy that really got the Pensioners will
:09:05. > :09:19.go. I your pension? Yes. OK, that is to us. -- are you a pensioner. She
:09:20. > :09:27.will please the Daily Mail. But now she is going to care that... I think
:09:28. > :09:31.we would now get a much shorter Queens Beach, one that will focus
:09:32. > :09:43.more on Brexit. I don't think she will dare. They are all furious. But
:09:44. > :09:47.in the as much time all leadership. At a national do this. In a way, I
:09:48. > :09:54.feel for her. Have anything about Brexit, and happy to think about a
:09:55. > :09:59.fast put together manifested. I don't know how they will tell. I
:10:00. > :10:04.think it was a pity that it was released. I know I was here we go,
:10:05. > :10:07.and will tell me the attack on pensioners, and I was being slightly
:10:08. > :10:12.facetious, but more to the point, it looked like an absolute attack on
:10:13. > :10:16.the core vote. Can Sergio Mattarella I so agree that a policy. That was a
:10:17. > :10:21.thing. But that was great, because we're getting far too much money as
:10:22. > :10:30.pensioners. -- can I tell you something? I so agree with that
:10:31. > :10:35.policy. It was toxic. And as for foxhunting, why on earth do they
:10:36. > :10:49.mention that? They can come into my garden, because I have a fox with
:10:50. > :10:54.Main Beach -- with mange. Let's not get to gain on local issues. Here we
:10:55. > :11:06.have a call for unity with the Foreign Secretary. How old is he
:11:07. > :11:12.now, at 45, 50? Is that all? Ye has more than that. He should be around
:11:13. > :11:16.for sometime yet how long, I am not sure. But they are distributing
:11:17. > :11:25.myself now. I they just want to let the dust settle. In my repeating
:11:26. > :11:37.myself? Just like me, repeating yourself. I can't help it. His 53
:11:38. > :11:48.this month. Can you imagine Boris Johnson being our Prime Minister? --
:11:49. > :11:56.he is 53. Did or they talk about his period as Foreign Minister. --
:11:57. > :12:00.do you know what they talk about? His period as Foreign Minister. I
:12:01. > :12:03.don't think this is imminent, whatever happens. I don't think
:12:04. > :12:14.anyone in the Conservative Party would've wanted him as primers,
:12:15. > :12:25.surely. Nobody but Boris... Let's look at the ie, at the bottom. --
:12:26. > :12:30.the i. We have had the idea of the hard Brexit, the soft Brexit, a red
:12:31. > :12:35.white and blue Brexit, and now the open Brexit. What that mean? I was
:12:36. > :12:41.Kertes a god only knows. I think Ruth Davidson is terrific. She had a
:12:42. > :12:44.fantastic, fantastic election. She and Jeremy Corbyn were the winners
:12:45. > :12:50.out of this. And she stood out well in the referendum debate. Yes, she
:12:51. > :12:54.did, and she was a manner. I think when she is talk about the hard
:12:55. > :13:01.Brexit, here, there are perhaps two things. Firstly, she doesn't want us
:13:02. > :13:05.to walk away from the EU. Either one that neither does Theresa May. The
:13:06. > :13:09.second point is she is just sort of saying I am here, and I want to be
:13:10. > :13:12.involved, and I think she should be involved, because she is a success,
:13:13. > :13:20.and is one of the Tory's raiders access at the moment. -- Tories'. --
:13:21. > :13:28.greatest assets. The DUP, which, as we know, is going to in to some sort
:13:29. > :13:33.of relationship with Theresa May... They talk about it on Tuesday. But I
:13:34. > :13:37.agree with you, they're no deal is no deal, because they want at the
:13:38. > :13:42.very manner in some agreement over the border. So just walking away
:13:43. > :13:44.from the EU is not acceptable to the DUP. They are very sensible party.
:13:45. > :14:00.I am going to go on the demonstrations, being 21. The
:14:01. > :14:08.demonstrations against their recognition -- position on abortion.
:14:09. > :14:15.That won't come into play with this confidence and supply arrangement.
:14:16. > :14:20.But when you make them your fundamental allies, there are people
:14:21. > :14:29.who are upset, including Ruth Davidson. You can have a protest
:14:30. > :14:40.but, so what? In present-day Britain, our youth vote... I have
:14:41. > :14:45.never protested in my life. You must come to a demonstration with me. I
:14:46. > :14:54.would like to be there when you make your placards. I have been on 45
:14:55. > :15:02.protest in my life and stop good God. Jeremy Corbyn saying he could
:15:03. > :15:06.be Prime Minister in months. Either the Conservatives need to fall apart
:15:07. > :15:12.or he can try this hand as a minority government. How likely is
:15:13. > :15:16.it? Anything is possible and likely now. That is the great thing. Just
:15:17. > :15:23.like in France we thought nothing was possible and what I love now is
:15:24. > :15:34.that the possibility of possibility has been opened up. So, who is? If
:15:35. > :15:37.Theresa May fails... Is she fails they will be an election within the
:15:38. > :15:42.Conservative Party and then the question is whether the government
:15:43. > :15:51.will come down? Probably not. He did quite well in the campaign, nobody
:15:52. > :16:01.disputes that. But is still well short of the 326 he needs. If you
:16:02. > :16:08.take that current configuration with a shocking results for the SNP, he
:16:09. > :16:13.would have a long way to catch up, if he really wanted the prime
:16:14. > :16:23.ministership. There is a narrative doing the rounds that you would be
:16:24. > :16:27.mad to want to take on the Brexit negotiations given that the members
:16:28. > :16:33.who want to stay are not going to make it easy. Let them have a go at
:16:34. > :16:38.it... It is interesting because he has not come out... And I was angry
:16:39. > :16:44.with Jeremy Corbyn because it did not, properly on a position on
:16:45. > :16:52.Brexit, remain or otherwise. Nor did Theresa May. They both played quite
:16:53. > :16:58.quietly. I think he would have a problem with negotiations because he
:16:59. > :17:10.would have to take a tough position. But he does have had good people on
:17:11. > :17:16.his team, such as Starmer, a professional man who knows about the
:17:17. > :17:19.law and deals. But I think we are in such a different political
:17:20. > :17:27.landscape, this man was written off even two weeks ago and we're not
:17:28. > :17:33.talking that any more about him. But he is a politician and politicians
:17:34. > :17:39.like power. The Guardian. Donald Trump delaying his state visit over
:17:40. > :17:44.protest fears. Downing Street said it still going ahead but Mr Trump
:17:45. > :17:50.wants us to like him. He does not want people protesting so we must
:17:51. > :17:56.not go on protest. Would you? Of course I will be. I have special
:17:57. > :18:05.protest shoes that I where! -- that I wear. Why shouldn't he have a
:18:06. > :18:11.state visit? Here's the elected head of one of our biggest allies. Yes.
:18:12. > :18:17.But the majority of the people in this country do not want this to
:18:18. > :18:22.happen. We live in a democracy where the will of the people matters and I
:18:23. > :18:32.think it will come from quite visit that if he wants to sit in a golden
:18:33. > :18:36.carriage! You remember the Chinese visit when Prince Charles acted up
:18:37. > :18:41.over it? You want to know why we were entertaining these people. It's
:18:42. > :18:46.not as if we have always welcomed everybody here. I know there is a
:18:47. > :18:52.petition not wanting him to come. But then there was a petition that
:18:53. > :18:58.said he should come. I signed that once. Put your fingers away, please.
:18:59. > :19:04.But he is the head of state. Why should he not come? There are things
:19:05. > :19:08.happening in America at the moment... In America they are not
:19:09. > :19:15.moving on. There are many things happening. Many Americans are
:19:16. > :19:20.against their own president. You know what? At the end of the
:19:21. > :19:24.election Americans always come together as a people. They have not
:19:25. > :19:36.been able to do that. He may not want to come. He may not want to
:19:37. > :19:43.come as he sees protests. Finally a different story in France. While
:19:44. > :19:49.things are a little tricky here Emmanuel Macron seems to have gotten
:19:50. > :19:51.everything stitched up. The first round of the parliamentary
:19:52. > :19:58.elections, heading towards a land lies for a party, or a movement,
:19:59. > :20:01.that was only set up one year ago. Quite an extraordinary political
:20:02. > :20:05.journey. It is. He has caught the mood of the country and it says
:20:06. > :20:13.something about the established parties, be it the socialists or the
:20:14. > :20:18.party of Sarkozy. They must have just lost all credibility. The
:20:19. > :20:23.socialists in particular of expected to do quite badly so that is a
:20:24. > :20:37.summing up of the views of the French people. Marine Le Pen will be
:20:38. > :20:41.a marginal group in Parliament as well. I think it is connected in
:20:42. > :20:46.many ways and I am not suggesting that Ukip are the same as the
:20:47. > :20:57.National Front. The people really thought that Ukip would get a number
:20:58. > :21:04.of seeds because millions voted for them. -- a number of seats. We
:21:05. > :21:08.thought we were drifting rightwards and now there are all sorts of
:21:09. > :21:14.surprises happening. I'm not an expert on Emmanuel Macron or French
:21:15. > :21:18.politics but it is amazing what has happened and then there is another
:21:19. > :21:28.election coming up, perhaps more crucial to us, the German election.
:21:29. > :21:31.The turnouts at this today was very low so the idea that his movement
:21:32. > :21:42.has re-energised politics may be hollow. It seems... I think some
:21:43. > :21:47.people think the business is done now that the President has been
:21:48. > :21:52.elected. Even to get so many candidates in place in quite a short
:21:53. > :21:57.time is a feat. An indication of how he will approach Brexit, he does not
:21:58. > :22:02.want to give any quarter to Britain. Well, do they want to sell us wine,
:22:03. > :22:11.or don't they? I would like some wine. But, also, there is another
:22:12. > :22:16.site. We need them as much as they need us and that has been a problem
:22:17. > :22:23.with the Brexit argument. I know you are going to accuse me of repeating
:22:24. > :22:27.myself, there will be a mutually beneficial agreement, I am convinced
:22:28. > :22:32.about that. It is in the interests of everybody. These are our friends.
:22:33. > :22:37.They don't look at it like that, the way we spoke about them during the
:22:38. > :22:45.campaign. The debates we had were shocking. They were terrible. But
:22:46. > :22:56.bygones are bygones. Now, they are not. Placards again? Could you bring
:22:57. > :23:08.your? I have 45. I will choose the best one. I reuse them. They recycle
:23:09. > :23:18.them. They are such good things to go to. You must come with me. She
:23:19. > :23:26.does not look convinced. Ladies, lovely to see you both to thank you.
