:00:00. > :00:00.Find out what James King made of the week's varied cinema releases in

:00:00. > :00:16.this week's Film Review. Hello and welcome to our look ahead

:00:17. > :00:19.to what the papers will be With me are John Rentoul, political

:00:20. > :00:22.columnist for the Independent and Ruth Lea who's an economic

:00:23. > :00:25.adviser to the Arbuthnot Tomorrow's front pages:

:00:26. > :00:41.The Sunday Telegraph has a photograph of Usain Bolt

:00:42. > :00:43.and Justin Gatlin after their controversial 100

:00:44. > :00:44.metres final tonight, The paper reports the UK is prepared

:00:45. > :00:50.to pay up to ?36 billion to settle It says it's the first time

:00:51. > :00:59.a precise figure has been proposed. The Independent on Sunday

:01:00. > :01:01.also focuses on Brexit, and a warning from scientists

:01:02. > :01:03.about the Government's intention The Observer concentrates on advice

:01:04. > :01:11.from the Children's Commissioner, who's concerned that many kids

:01:12. > :01:13.are bingeing on social The Mail on Sunday says it has found

:01:14. > :01:20.that around 40 percent of police stations have been closed down

:01:21. > :01:23.in seven years. The Sunday Times reports

:01:24. > :01:25.that British students are being discriminated

:01:26. > :01:27.against by universities, in favour The Sunday Express chooses

:01:28. > :01:33.to feature Prince Harry and his girlfriend, the actress

:01:34. > :01:51.Meghan Markle, as they arrive We wish them well but we were look

:01:52. > :01:59.at that any further, will we? What is there to say? We wish them well.

:02:00. > :02:07.We do. Let's start with Brexit in the Telegraph. Bricks -- Britain to

:02:08. > :02:11.put ?36 billion down. Why is this figure being proposed? It is

:02:12. > :02:15.interesting and I think Number ten has denied the story. Governments of

:02:16. > :02:26.-- source has dismissed these reports. Yes. With all due respect,

:02:27. > :02:34.my colleagues at the Sunday Telegraph do not make up stories. I

:02:35. > :02:39.think this is a well sourced story. It is basically saying, we will

:02:40. > :02:45.carry on paying what we pay at the moment which is about 10 billion

:02:46. > :02:49.euros a year, for the transitional period, which might be three years,

:02:50. > :02:58.so that is 30 billion euros and then we'll play another ten on top. It

:02:59. > :03:04.says three separate sources have knowledge of this and have confirmed

:03:05. > :03:08.the figure. Three sources. It does seem that some parts of Godman say

:03:09. > :03:15.one thing and other parts say another thing when it comes to

:03:16. > :03:20.Briggs in negotiations. Insofar as this story is correct, and I think

:03:21. > :03:27.there is no smoke without fire, it is saying they will pay this 40

:03:28. > :03:32.billion euros if the EU is prepared to negotiate a financial settlement

:03:33. > :03:37.with trading negotiations as well. What the British government really

:03:38. > :03:41.wants is to get on and start talking about the new relationship we are

:03:42. > :03:46.having with the European Union and so far, they have said no, sorry

:03:47. > :03:49.guys, we have to make progress on things like the financial settlement

:03:50. > :03:58.and citizen rights before that so the government is trying to push

:03:59. > :04:03.that debates all aired. Isn't it a bit embarrassing when so many top

:04:04. > :04:10.petitions have said we're not paying a penny to leave? It does seem some

:04:11. > :04:14.parts of government say one thing and other parts say another thing.

:04:15. > :04:23.Didn't Boris Johnson said they could go whistle? Yes, but that was a

:04:24. > :04:28.extortionate amount. You surely ought to object to paying anything

:04:29. > :04:34.but it seems to me, we're talking about 10 billion euros, which sounds

:04:35. > :04:40.perfectly reasonable to me. This is terribly embarrassing and terrible

:04:41. > :04:46.television but I agree. I do think it's important as the Brexiter that

:04:47. > :04:51.we do have a good relationship with the European Union when we leave and

:04:52. > :04:57.I see there will be a transition period between March 2019 and when

:04:58. > :05:01.the new treaty, assuming there is one, some people say there won't be

:05:02. > :05:09.one, when the new treaty actually becomes operative. Compromises will

:05:10. > :05:15.have to be made. The EU is never going to access a figure as low as

:05:16. > :05:24.this, are they? No, it was said to be 16 Ilion. Even 100. I think that

:05:25. > :05:28.is why he said that. But it is early days and alleys they are starting to

:05:29. > :05:32.talk about numbers. It is interesting that we are beginning to

:05:33. > :05:36.see after a lot of pre-match propaganda from the other side

:05:37. > :05:40.suggesting that the British don't have their position organised, we

:05:41. > :05:44.are beginning to see quite a lot of evidence that what is going on

:05:45. > :05:49.behind the scenes. They are getting their act together. Nuclear agency

:05:50. > :05:55.will slam brakes on a green car revolution. Pieces together for us.

:05:56. > :06:01.A professor is saying that if we leave the EU, we will be unable to

:06:02. > :06:04.source important vital materials that we need to power nuclear plants

:06:05. > :06:34.so that we can have a electric cars. You say Euratom, I say Euratom. Not

:06:35. > :06:40.great telly. Too much agreement. You don't agree with the professor? No,

:06:41. > :06:48.I think he is talking nonsense. Just the pronunciation. This is another

:06:49. > :06:52.baseless scare story. All the experts, all the nuclear industry

:06:53. > :06:58.experts say that leaving Euratom is completely necessary and will cause

:06:59. > :07:04.expensive location and might head up with us having to turn the power

:07:05. > :07:09.stations off. If I may say so, I think the independent here is being

:07:10. > :07:21.very pro-rocket if when it says to rat so me -- Theresa May wants to

:07:22. > :07:27.leave. This is all politics. Stay in Euratom and leave the EU. I think

:07:28. > :07:30.this is the scare story. It is another shock horror budget fear.

:07:31. > :07:40.The point is there are lots more battery-powered cars on the road or

:07:41. > :07:49.will be and we need to power them. Michael Gove has reinvented himself

:07:50. > :07:55.as the Green man. He is the great Green minister. He wants to get all

:07:56. > :08:02.these petrol and diesel cars off the road by 2040 and a need to do that,

:08:03. > :08:06.he will need electric cars. And you need about ten more nuclear power

:08:07. > :08:13.stations, it is not going to happen, chaps. Finally, some disagreement. A

:08:14. > :08:18.couple of stories from the Observer. First, stop children bingeing on

:08:19. > :08:25.social media, this is the Children's Commissioner. I have searched high

:08:26. > :08:30.and low for how you do it, she doesn't offer anything. In August,

:08:31. > :08:38.we have a story about how children are in social media too much. Mine

:08:39. > :08:46.are. I think all children are. Adults are on there as well. You

:08:47. > :08:51.tweet. I tweet a lot. I only followed people. When Martine was

:08:52. > :08:57.advertising your presence here, people were commenting on how few

:08:58. > :09:04.people follow. I suggested you were like Noel Coward and how he felt

:09:05. > :09:12.about television. That it was something you appeared upon but not

:09:13. > :09:17.watched. You treat it like caviar or something. But I think the analogy

:09:18. > :09:24.with junk food explains what a lot of nonsense this is. What is junk

:09:25. > :09:35.food? Well, food that is no good for you. It is not healthy if you eat it

:09:36. > :09:43.all the time. Chips and burgers. Children need lots of energy and

:09:44. > :09:47.stuff to. I can't believe you feed your children chips and burgers

:09:48. > :09:54.every day. All that is the point, it is all right once in awhile not

:09:55. > :10:00.every day. Nothing wrong with that. A bit of green stuff as well. I

:10:01. > :10:07.wanted guidance about how you stop from using it. No one will take any

:10:08. > :10:13.notice so it is a non-story. Shall we move on then? Come on here

:10:14. > :10:21.rubbishing the stories! It is not a story. Drag racing. Photos Rory.

:10:22. > :10:29.Belfast bright happened today and there are two fine trek queens there

:10:30. > :10:36.on the back of a shiny black car. The overwrite, who is the Taoiseach

:10:37. > :10:39.said it won't be long before same-sex marriage is possible in

:10:40. > :10:47.Northern Ireland. They are gorgeous, and they? Princess Leia is the one

:10:48. > :10:54.on the left. I thought they were women. Did you? No, I didn't. At

:10:55. > :10:59.dues are changing in Northern Ireland quite fast. I think the DUP

:11:00. > :11:05.will eventually for its objection to this. Northern Ireland is so friends

:11:06. > :11:11.to the rest of the country. That is what I thought but if you look...

:11:12. > :11:16.Not opinion polls, but the civil liberties and the rights you have,

:11:17. > :11:22.in terms of same-sex marriage and abortion, compared with the rest

:11:23. > :11:26.of... This seems to have gone down extraordinary well and that DUP

:11:27. > :11:31.perhaps we'll move. They are quite reasonable, and they have just been

:11:32. > :11:37.bunged another million quid so perhaps that will make them more...

:11:38. > :11:44.You do hope so. I think it is the time the DUP caught up. And they are

:11:45. > :11:50.gorgeous girls. It is Princess Leia and she has got R2-D2 floating above

:11:51. > :11:57.her head. Mail on Sunday. Criminal, 40% of police stations shut down.

:11:58. > :12:06.This is an outcry, apparently, after probe. No one uses the word probe in

:12:07. > :12:12.usual life. This means someone has done some research and added up some

:12:13. > :12:15.numbers. Good journalism. We did note that police are cutting down

:12:16. > :12:19.the number of police stations because they are trying to

:12:20. > :12:23.centralise things and run them more efficiently. You don't need as many

:12:24. > :12:27.police stations as you had in the past. The point is saying the

:12:28. > :12:34.cutbacks have come as violent terrorism has surged, how will that

:12:35. > :12:41.help combat terrorism? This is all curiouser fantasy in the Mail on

:12:42. > :12:47.Sunday world of Dixon Of Dock Green and heartbeat and everyone saying

:12:48. > :12:52.Sarge all the time. Our local police station closed down in Finchley and

:12:53. > :12:58.nobody seemed to care. I have never been. I just got letters through the

:12:59. > :13:02.post. It is to do with this it directly that some people get from

:13:03. > :13:11.knowing there is a police station. And they can pop in. Do you think

:13:12. > :13:16.people think that anymore? I saw heavily armed police today and it

:13:17. > :13:22.did make me feel good. In the 1960s and 70s and 80s, that technology has

:13:23. > :13:28.moved on and if you want to contact the police, you bring them up, don't

:13:29. > :13:33.you? Or have I missed something? I think 999 has been with us for a

:13:34. > :13:38.long time but there is this idea that people want to see bobbies on

:13:39. > :13:43.the beat. They do. People do like the idea of police stations. If you

:13:44. > :13:48.find a passport and the police station -- a passport on the

:13:49. > :13:54.pavement, you want to take it to a physical place and hand it into

:13:55. > :14:00.someone. But there aren't many things we'd you would need to do

:14:01. > :14:04.that, to go into an office for. So I think it is perfectly reasonable.

:14:05. > :14:11.Well that is three out of the six stories you have rubbished. It is an

:14:12. > :14:14.excellent story, not like the one in the Observer, but it is not very

:14:15. > :14:27.interesting. We well, you don't know. Usain Bolt's

:14:28. > :14:33.final 100 metres ends in controversy, why? The dependent is

:14:34. > :14:42.also going to change its front-page photo, we've got Vladimir Putin at

:14:43. > :14:50.the moment. Could you talk about the Telegraph, please? We'll show it at

:14:51. > :14:58.11:30pm, let's look at this one now. The Sunday Telegraph were a bit

:14:59. > :15:07.quicker than us. John, you have had your turn. Bold came third. A

:15:08. > :15:13.gentleman called Justin Gaitlin one and he has been at drugs cheat,

:15:14. > :15:19.hence the controversy. Twice he has been banned for using performance

:15:20. > :15:25.enhancing substances, John. And that makes him unpopular with the

:15:26. > :15:33.audience in the stadium. They do keep doing him. Maybe he gets a

:15:34. > :15:37.lifetime advantage from using drugs. But assuming he doesn't, then I

:15:38. > :15:43.think people are entitled to a second chance. If they are the rules

:15:44. > :15:50.and you are allowed to compete again after a while, you can't really...

:15:51. > :15:56.We've got an economist round the table, let's try to do better at

:15:57. > :16:00.11:30pm. We'll try and find some stories that we think are worth

:16:01. > :16:04.talking about as well, I don't know. That is the papers for this hour.

:16:05. > :16:07.Thank you Ruth and John, you'll both be back at 11.30pm

:16:08. > :16:09.for another look at the stories making the news tomorrow.

:16:10. > :16:19.Coming up next, it's the Film Review.
