:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

:00:19. > :00:22.With me are Rosamund Urwin, Columnist at The Evening Standard

:00:23. > :00:28.and Dan Bilefsky, Staff Writer at The New York Times.

:00:29. > :00:35.Welcome both of you. We will talk to them in a moment after we bring you

:00:36. > :00:36.up-to-date with the front pages for tomorrow morning. These are the

:00:37. > :00:37.first editions. 'Thanks a billion' is the headline

:00:38. > :00:40.on the front page of the i - referring to the Conservative-DUP

:00:41. > :00:42.deal with Northern Ireland getting The price of support for the

:00:43. > :00:49.minority government. The Telegraph says the agreement may

:00:50. > :00:57.come at an even greater cost with the DUP possibly coming

:00:58. > :00:59.back for more. The Mirror splashes with the deal

:01:00. > :01:02.and shows a picture of Theresa May and Arlene Foster shaking hands

:01:03. > :01:04.outside Downing Street. The Metro says the three million EU

:01:05. > :01:07.citizens living in the UK will be required to apply for ID documents

:01:08. > :01:13.to stay after Brexit. One of the stories in the Guardian

:01:14. > :01:19.is the US Supreme Court's decision to partially allow Donald Trump's

:01:20. > :01:21.travel ban on six mainly Muslim countries to take place.

:01:22. > :01:24.The Daily Express reports an operation, using a plastic liner

:01:25. > :01:26.in the gut, could cure Type two diabetes.

:01:27. > :01:29.And the Times shows a picture of HMS Queen Elizabeth,

:01:30. > :01:31.Britain's new ?3 billion aircraft carrier, which passed

:01:32. > :01:38.through the River Forth before starting trials in the North Sea.

:01:39. > :01:45.Let's get straight down to it and let's begin, I think, with the DUP

:01:46. > :01:54.deal, the front page in most of the papers. Yes. Photos, which, it's

:01:55. > :01:56.almost as if Theresa May's shaking hands with Arlene Foster and Arlene

:01:57. > :02:04.Foster is the dominant character in the picture on the front of the i.

:02:05. > :02:09.It does but Theresa May didn't sign the document herself, she didn't

:02:10. > :02:13.lower herself to that. This is what the DUP is good at. They radically

:02:14. > :02:23.underestimated them, they thought, well, they have ten MPs. A pushover.

:02:24. > :02:26.Yes. On the Friday after it turned out we had a hung parliament they

:02:27. > :02:31.thought they would get the deal quickly. I was writing about it at

:02:32. > :02:35.the time and everything was frantically changing and it has been

:02:36. > :02:39.18 days now. This is what the DUP has done for many years. They are

:02:40. > :02:44.good at letting negotiations go down to the wire because they know that

:02:45. > :02:47.squeezes out more of what they want. And actually they have an awful lot

:02:48. > :02:50.of what they want. The headline is the 1 billion figure but there is

:02:51. > :02:54.actually so much more. Various things about the triple-lock, on

:02:55. > :02:58.pensions, Theresa May already committed it wouldn't happen for the

:02:59. > :03:03.next two years but now it is pushed back. They have a veto on government

:03:04. > :03:10.legislation effectively because they will see anything before it goes to

:03:11. > :03:16.Parliament, so on legislation. They actually have a huge amount here for

:03:17. > :03:20.what seems like quite small. Yes, ten MPs, it's an extraordinary price

:03:21. > :03:24.to pay. From an outside perspective is this not classic pork barrel

:03:25. > :03:28.politics and will there be a backlash against Theresa May? Some

:03:29. > :03:34.of her critics already say she has bought each of the ten MPs for 100

:03:35. > :03:38.million apiece. She has bought her own career surviving. In the

:03:39. > :03:41.short-term but these are social Conservatives against gay rights and

:03:42. > :03:44.abortion, precisely the people Corbyn has been appealing to

:03:45. > :03:48.recently and will then not the long-term political consequences for

:03:49. > :03:55.this decision? Yes, I think so and even the DUP knows that Theresa May

:03:56. > :04:00.is toxic, so that's why they have tried to squeeze so much so it isn't

:04:01. > :04:05.so bloody body anyway. The Tory board the DUP votes with us and they

:04:06. > :04:09.expect lots of motorways and things. The Telegraph says it is just the

:04:10. > :04:13.start. In other words, they could come back for more, if there is some

:04:14. > :04:19.critical vote, they might say we are not sure we can support you on this

:04:20. > :04:23.any longer, they might be a bit of desperate... You called it pork

:04:24. > :04:30.barrel politics, the US phrase, which I think the Welsh First

:04:31. > :04:33.Minister called it a bung. We had it in the 70s when the Labour

:04:34. > :04:37.government tried to survive and it was paying for electricity cable to

:04:38. > :04:42.be run under the North Sea to connect Northern Ireland with the

:04:43. > :04:46.mainland of the rest of Britain. On that basis presumably there is a

:04:47. > :04:50.risk in the rest of the UK to say, hang on a minute, where's our money?

:04:51. > :04:56.Your broadband will get faster in Northern Ireland, you will get new

:04:57. > :04:59.motorways and better hospitals and and Wales, maybe even London

:05:00. > :05:02.complaining the money is being given away. In terms of the power-sharing,

:05:03. > :05:06.because there is so much money at stake, Sinn Fein may come back to

:05:07. > :05:10.this table, they already don't have a seat at Westminster because they

:05:11. > :05:14.choose not to take up their seats. Think what they could have extracted

:05:15. > :05:17.to get in a Labour Dermot Drummy Corbyn government if they MPs took

:05:18. > :05:24.their seats. What about the language used? I think The Daily Mirror talks

:05:25. > :05:27.about crackpots, they have their word bungs, some people call it a

:05:28. > :05:33.bribe, comfortable with the way this was written up? Some people think

:05:34. > :05:36.crackpot is offensive. I was quite surprised to see that word but there

:05:37. > :05:43.is plenty to criticise about the DUP's policies, to put it bluntly.

:05:44. > :05:46.The DUP did not turn to typical nationalist ideology in making the

:05:47. > :05:49.deal, they went away from bowler hats and parades and stuck to the

:05:50. > :05:54.nitty-gritty of economics and money so in a way they were quite astute.

:05:55. > :06:00.They played their hand well. They were not crackpots at all. Let's

:06:01. > :06:05.moved down to the Telegraph, to the column on the right hand of the

:06:06. > :06:09.front page, tower fire tests ignore combustible instillation. What do

:06:10. > :06:15.you make of this, Dan? United States builds a lot more high-rises than

:06:16. > :06:20.Britain does, bigger population and a very urbanised country, lots of

:06:21. > :06:23.big cities. How shocked were people by this fire when they saw the

:06:24. > :06:28.pictures? I noticed the New York Times has a picture of Grenfell

:06:29. > :06:30.again in the middle of it. The charred inferno of Grenfell Tower on

:06:31. > :06:34.a human level was absolutely shocking regardless of your

:06:35. > :06:39.nationality. From the American perspective what was also shocking

:06:40. > :06:43.was the laxness of the regulatory framework in this country. In the US

:06:44. > :06:47.if you have a building that is higher than a fireman's the ladder,

:06:48. > :06:51.two stories, there is mandatory testing for the cladding and no

:06:52. > :06:56.flammable padding of the type used in Grenfell has ever passed that

:06:57. > :07:01.test. People in the US context were quite surprised at the regulatory

:07:02. > :07:04.system here at and that it was so lax and the cost-cutting seems to

:07:05. > :07:08.have been prioritised over human lives and safety. What do you make

:07:09. > :07:12.of this story about the doubts of the whole testing process, whether

:07:13. > :07:16.before or now? Even the minister said today it is taken too long for

:07:17. > :07:21.the testing to go under way. They should be able to do 100 a day and

:07:22. > :07:28.so far they only have 75 and all 75 have failed the tests. They would

:07:29. > :07:31.start with the ones, it is appalling, but they start with the

:07:32. > :07:37.ones that seem most likely to fail. Yes, sure. There is also a story in

:07:38. > :07:40.the FT tomorrow saying the US engineering group which makes the

:07:41. > :07:45.cladding panels is no longer selling the flammable version for

:07:46. > :07:48.high-rises. They announced today they are halting global sales. That

:07:49. > :07:57.seems obviously a good thing but clearly too late. Better late than

:07:58. > :08:04.never, I guess. Metro, Ura must show ID papers. -- EU. I thought we had

:08:05. > :08:10.killed off the idea of identity cards in the UK but for some it

:08:11. > :08:14.might be coming back. This is a Home Office policy paper, I think. It is

:08:15. > :08:18.all very provisional. Elsewhere they are saying this might mean identity

:08:19. > :08:21.cards but it might just mean a central database and it isn't

:08:22. > :08:28.actually clear yet which of those it means. But actually there is an

:08:29. > :08:31.awful lot that this policy document suggests. EU nationals could

:08:32. > :08:35.potentially be losing. It isn't clear whether they will be allowed

:08:36. > :08:40.to vote in local elections which obviously they can at the moment,

:08:41. > :08:51.yet they would be paying tax. Sounds unlikely if the EU Court of Justice

:08:52. > :08:56.will be upholding this. When you look at this and look at the offer

:08:57. > :09:01.coming from Britain, all right, a bit late again, but people saying

:09:02. > :09:06.there is room for compromise. There is goodwill on this question. From

:09:07. > :09:11.what I hear from people in Brussels they are saying thank you so much

:09:12. > :09:14.that you will not deport us, we appreciate that, generous

:09:15. > :09:18.negotiating position. The Europeans are saying there is not enough

:09:19. > :09:23.clarity and it is too little too late. There was a tweet that said it

:09:24. > :09:26.was not ambitious enough and not enough clarity. I think we risk,

:09:27. > :09:30.with all these people who are looking at it on a purely economic

:09:31. > :09:34.basis, we are going to lose the people we want to hold onto most and

:09:35. > :09:38.that is mad. Is this not Alan Duncan because there are lots of parts of

:09:39. > :09:41.the country where there are not many EU nationals working and bringing

:09:42. > :09:45.high skilled jobs and experience to London. It is where the media is

:09:46. > :09:52.based in London. They are working in farms. Without the seasonal workers

:09:53. > :09:55.from Bulgaria and other Eastern European countries. And any rational

:09:56. > :09:58.arrangement we could continue to invite people to work for short

:09:59. > :10:02.periods of time for specific things like that. But if you don't have

:10:03. > :10:08.free movement of people then how can you have Eastern European is coming

:10:09. > :10:10.in? People who voted leave who are in the agricultural sector say they

:10:11. > :10:15.regret it because they may not have Eastern European is to employ to

:10:16. > :10:23.pick their goods. There was a man who employed 5000 EU nationals. And

:10:24. > :10:26.he voted for leave. Let's pop inside the Daily Express, nothing exciting

:10:27. > :10:30.us on the front cover but we were interested by this. Nice to see a

:10:31. > :10:34.picture of Donald Trump smiling since becoming President. He has a

:10:35. > :10:38.reason to smile today. The Supreme Court decided to hear the case of

:10:39. > :10:42.his travel ban which was a ban against people from six majority

:10:43. > :10:47.Muslim countries, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Iran etc, owing to the United

:10:48. > :10:51.States. Donald Trump declared victory because the Supreme Court

:10:52. > :10:54.has decided to hear the case and to stay part of the original order,

:10:55. > :10:58.meaning that if you try and go to the US you have to serve dumb show

:10:59. > :11:03.some kind of bona fides Link, such as a job or a parent who is there

:11:04. > :11:07.for a student visa. This will test the limits of the executive order in

:11:08. > :11:11.the United States and it remains to be seen whether he will be able to

:11:12. > :11:16.claim victory. U-turn and general described it as a triumph for the

:11:17. > :11:20.separation of powers. Since Trump entered the presidency the court

:11:21. > :11:24.system has been raining him in and there were two court decisions

:11:25. > :11:27.against the travel ban already. This is a test case and so far the

:11:28. > :11:32.American system has shown that one man cannot overcome the division

:11:33. > :11:37.between different parts of government. The constitution works.

:11:38. > :11:44.We will see, let's hope so. Let's look finally at the front of the

:11:45. > :11:49.Telegraph. I don't think we can pick this up, but I am going to put it

:11:50. > :11:54.there. That's the cartoon. I don't think we can quite so clearly see

:11:55. > :12:00.from the front of the Telegraph, there is a better picture on the

:12:01. > :12:05.front of the times, just how enormous HMS Elizabeth is. It is

:12:06. > :12:09.enormous. The cartoon is making a connection between this enormous new

:12:10. > :12:15.naval vessel and the DUP- Tory deal. Explain. His big gift is tying

:12:16. > :12:19.together two big stories of the day in a way you have not thought of and

:12:20. > :12:23.he has done it with aplomb here. It is two people standing on this

:12:24. > :12:29.enormous ship saying, this is an very impressive, thing how many DUP

:12:30. > :12:38.MPs we could have brought with the money. Because as we know 1 million

:12:39. > :12:43.gets ten of them. We can see on the front of the times, this really gets

:12:44. > :12:47.the scale of this ship. It is a big ship, wherever you look at it but it

:12:48. > :12:52.is next to the bridge there and suddenly you think that is not a

:12:53. > :12:57.ship, that is a small city afloat. It's an amazing site. There were

:12:58. > :13:00.lots of grumbles in the military thinking we are getting this big

:13:01. > :13:05.ship and there isn't much money for anyone else or any of the small

:13:06. > :13:09.boats. What a shame! For any cartoonist complaining about the

:13:10. > :13:12.fact that Matt gets on all the time it's because he's on the front of

:13:13. > :13:17.the paper, get your edited to put you on the front paper and you will

:13:18. > :13:21.make it onto tomorrow's Papers. Thank you for joining us. We have

:13:22. > :13:23.rattled through a lot. Thank you for your company.

:13:24. > :13:26.Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online

:13:27. > :13:29.It's all there for you - seven days a week

:13:30. > :13:31.at bbc.co.uk/papers - and if you

:13:32. > :13:34.evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.

:13:35. > :13:46.My thanks to Rosamond and Dan. I will be back at the top of the hour.

:13:47. > :13:53.Good evening. Sunshine for some of us today but rain is on its way. I

:13:54. > :13:55.hope you managed to make the most of it. Eastern England saw the best in
