:00:17. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

:00:20. > :00:26.With me are the Defence and Security Editor for the Daily Mail,

:00:27. > :00:31.Larisa Brown and Jim Waterson, Political editor at Buzzfeed UK.

:00:32. > :00:36.Returning to us. Let's have a look at some of tomorrow's front pages.

:00:37. > :00:38.The Metro leads with Spanish police shooting dead the main suspect

:00:39. > :00:43.One of the stories on the front page of

:00:44. > :00:46.the Financial Times is the solar eclipse seen by millions

:00:47. > :00:48.The Telegraph says families could get discounts

:00:49. > :00:54.on their supermarket shopping if they hit weekly exercise "step

:00:55. > :01:11.The Express leads on the news that doctors involved in arthritis

:01:12. > :01:14.research are launching a nationwide campaign to highlight the impact,

:01:15. > :01:16.the disease has on the estimated 10 million across Britain.

:01:17. > :01:18.The I carries a picture of today's eclipse,

:01:19. > :01:20.which it calls the most watched in human history

:01:21. > :01:26.And the Daily Mail says high street banks are shutting more than ten

:01:27. > :01:30.branches a week in a wave of closures. The Guardian covers the

:01:31. > :01:34.England woman striker who has accused the national team manager of

:01:35. > :01:41.discrimination. He has been cleared of any wrongdoing. And the Times

:01:42. > :01:42.reports on research that people with long-term gum disease are 70% more

:01:43. > :01:53.likely to develop dementia. Let's begin with our guests. Jim,

:01:54. > :01:59.can you start, it's the eclipse. It is going to be the picture on many

:02:00. > :02:03.front pages. We like the times with lots of different images. With a

:02:04. > :02:06.story like this it's always the battle of the art editors! I think

:02:07. > :02:09.the Times is the winner with the nice sequence of it passing over the

:02:10. > :02:16.moon in front of the sun. That is the right way round, isn't it! Yes

:02:17. > :02:40.it is. It's just one of those striking images.

:02:41. > :02:53.I think we'll have to wait about 90 years for the next one! And remember

:02:54. > :02:58.the last one, I was just a child. I remember I was standing on a

:02:59. > :03:02.hillside. In America, especially the midwest, we were talking to people

:03:03. > :03:05.as they watched it this evening and it was a beautiful, clear sunny day

:03:06. > :03:12.then, and then the temperature drops and everything goes black. Strikes a

:03:13. > :03:20.chord. It makes an emotional. Many people we spoke to were very

:03:21. > :03:24.emotional. Some of my favourite coverage is the town that won the

:03:25. > :03:28.cosmic lottery, Nasa said they would have the best coverage, ten years

:03:29. > :03:31.ago, so thousands of people have been flocking there. It was

:03:32. > :03:36.wonderful. One woman was interviewed, it is a cafe, it used

:03:37. > :03:43.to be a brothel but they'd had stood on it into a cafe to accommodate all

:03:44. > :03:48.the visitors! Changing human behaviour! Very positive. Your

:03:49. > :03:55.newspaper, let's go to them, a couple that we recognise, Donald and

:03:56. > :04:01.Melania Trump. I like the headline. It is even more orange than me! Ace

:04:02. > :04:06.this is a brilliant picture, because moments before, he looked at the

:04:07. > :04:12.solar eclipse about his glasses. The one thing you never to do. I think

:04:13. > :04:17.it was a worry that he might damage is A side. He is clearly fine and

:04:18. > :04:22.has gone on to make his prime-time address tonight -- he might damage

:04:23. > :04:26.his eyesight. He took his glasses off long enough to wave at the

:04:27. > :04:32.crowd. He is of course a politician of sorts. Let's stay with the Daily

:04:33. > :04:37.Mail. That front-page main story, banks abandon the high Street. Jim,

:04:38. > :04:42.perhaps you would take us through what this has found. This is about

:04:43. > :04:47.how four years banks pledged to customers that they would not close

:04:48. > :04:50.branches, they would be your local friend, your community, the last

:04:51. > :04:55.bank in your small market town and now they are closing on Mars,

:04:56. > :04:58.because people are doing so much online banking that it is

:04:59. > :05:03.decimating, more than decimating, the footfall in the high street

:05:04. > :05:07.banks. Their arguments are that we can save money if we close them. If

:05:08. > :05:14.you can imagine the Daily Mail reader in a small town, I need this

:05:15. > :05:22.community, I need my bank open, I have elderly relatives who don't use

:05:23. > :05:27.online banking. And you sometimes need to go to your bank. I went

:05:28. > :05:32.there to ask about money from abroad. You cannot always assume

:05:33. > :05:36.everything is on the Internet. This is an important story because a lot

:05:37. > :05:45.of elderly people will be extremely worried by this. For some people,

:05:46. > :05:48.elderly people don't always know how to do online banking and it is a day

:05:49. > :05:54.out for them, so if you have about ten miles away... Post offices were

:05:55. > :05:59.supposed to be the centre of the community and they have been closing

:06:00. > :06:03.like mad. I think your newspaper mentions small businesses. People

:06:04. > :06:09.need to pay in money. A lot of people do things in cash. There were

:06:10. > :06:15.concerns that it would affect the high street, people do that so they

:06:16. > :06:21.can go to the bank, if there is no bank fewer people will go to local

:06:22. > :06:25.shops on the main shopping streets. I can't believe I'm taking the side

:06:26. > :06:31.of the banks, I'd probably go to the physical bank once or twice a year,

:06:32. > :06:38.someone still insists on paying you with a paper check... I write

:06:39. > :06:42.checks, Jim. Jon Daly I haven't had one in ten years. I tried to give

:06:43. > :06:48.one to one of my sons the other day and he sneered. I go to banks quite

:06:49. > :06:53.frequently and I think it is a great shame. Tale to be discussed. Let's

:06:54. > :07:02.go to the times. Back to the times, I should say. The headline is US

:07:03. > :07:05.demands Afghan troop boost. I got the impression that we were either

:07:06. > :07:12.out of Afghanistan or desperate to be out of Afghanistan. A lot of

:07:13. > :07:18.people assume that but we have 500 troops still in Kabul, Afghanistan.

:07:19. > :07:21.Donald Trump tonight will do his hugely anticipated prime-time

:07:22. > :07:26.address about Afghanistan and the new American plan to defeat the

:07:27. > :07:32.Taliban and Islamic State in the country. The Times reports that he's

:07:33. > :07:37.going to provide another few thousand troops to boost the troops

:07:38. > :07:40.there, they also have an exclusive saying that America will put

:07:41. > :07:44.pressure on Britain to send more troops. We've already said we will

:07:45. > :07:50.send an extra 100 in the next few months. Forgive me, but sense

:07:51. > :07:54.neither here nor there. Not like the 10,000 that the Americans will have.

:07:55. > :07:57.It seems quite a small number. Although we don't know how many the

:07:58. > :08:03.Americans want us to sand. They could ask for many more. Three years

:08:04. > :08:06.ago, we were told that the war in Afghanistan was sort of, we were

:08:07. > :08:12.winning and the Taliban were on the back foot, and fast forward to

:08:13. > :08:16.today, and you've got 80% of Helmand province has now been taken back by

:08:17. > :08:19.the Taliban and you also have Islamic State fighters in the

:08:20. > :08:29.country that have been pushed out of Iraq. Is this a classic thing of

:08:30. > :08:32.America getting into a quagmire? A lesson from history, nobody has gone

:08:33. > :08:38.into Afghanistan and come out of it well. The thing about Trump is that

:08:39. > :08:40.he ran on a campaign policy of bringing the troops home and

:08:41. > :08:46.stripping overseas battles, and after saying again and again

:08:47. > :08:51.explicitly that he would take troops out of Afghanistan, six months in,

:08:52. > :09:00.he's about to sign of all these extra and going over. As regards UK

:09:01. > :09:05.politics, can Theresa May seem to be jumping to Donald Trump's whim on

:09:06. > :09:08.sending troops abroad. It would not be a popular move to send more

:09:09. > :09:14.troops to Afghanistan, as far as I can see, and it will be hard to say

:09:15. > :09:19.that if the Trump presidency is what is demanding the back-up that makes

:09:20. > :09:23.it an even harder sell. Talking about going back on things that he

:09:24. > :09:27.said before the election, you wonder where this is coming from. James

:09:28. > :09:35.Mattis is the US Defence Secretary. A tough guy in a military sense...

:09:36. > :09:39.Go on,. A few months ago James Mattis admitted that the war was

:09:40. > :09:43.failing and Afghanistan, quite frank comments and I think people have

:09:44. > :09:49.realised that there must be any strategy, so this is Trump taking

:09:50. > :09:55.advice from his generals. James Mattis winning the battle, one might

:09:56. > :10:01.say. The next stories interesting, but in wondering if it could plug

:10:02. > :10:04.capability gaps, although we are understood to be reluctant to send

:10:05. > :10:12.more troops. Sounds like we would the bare minimum, help with bases in

:10:13. > :10:15.the region, sent their cargo planes, with the unpopularity of Trump in

:10:16. > :10:18.the UK I can't see anything involving Britain pushing into an

:10:19. > :10:23.American led war to be a good look at the moment, even for a Tory

:10:24. > :10:30.government. And there's talk of Trump saying to Afghanistan, stop

:10:31. > :10:35.harbouring jihadists. Barack Obama made those comments clear in 2009

:10:36. > :10:38.when he did his last prime-time address in Afghanistan so it is

:10:39. > :10:47.rehashing an old argument although quite an important one. Indeed. Now

:10:48. > :10:51.to the Daily Telegraph. Larisa, would you get us off on this story.

:10:52. > :10:56.Keep fit to get money off your weekly shopping! It's brilliant.

:10:57. > :11:06.This phenomenon at the moment of people wearing the Fitbit and some

:11:07. > :11:09.supermarkets say they could get discounts on their weekly shopping

:11:10. > :11:17.if they meet the step targets. Would you like me to explain a step

:11:18. > :11:21.target? Could you explain Fitbits? Gadget on your wrist which documents

:11:22. > :11:23.how many steps you take each day. A lot of people wearing it because

:11:24. > :11:32.they go out and about and they tried to certain target. Are thousands and

:11:33. > :11:35.thousands of steps. And young people like to compete with each other and

:11:36. > :11:43.say, I have done more steps than you today. If you had a certain limit of

:11:44. > :11:47.steps each day, you could be rewarded and this NHS scheme, free

:11:48. > :11:53.cinema tickets for example, if you get 12,500 steps three days a week.

:11:54. > :11:59.This is a new radical NHS policy designed to tackle obesity!

:12:00. > :12:06.Seuk-hyun Baek I am afraid I'm being cynical. We always come up with

:12:07. > :12:12.these ideas. -- and being cynical. We always come up with his ideas.

:12:13. > :12:16.Sadly the extent to the NHS can influence human behaviour and

:12:17. > :12:21.convince people, rather than doing 12,000 steps to get a ticket, just

:12:22. > :12:25.spend money to go and watch a film and sit down rather than doing some

:12:26. > :12:30.exercise! I have my doubts as to whether the NHS can design towns

:12:31. > :12:32.where this can happen. As a developer is building a new

:12:33. > :12:42.development they will have things built in. This is a reference to the

:12:43. > :12:48.government 's idea of encouraging healthy living. It's tagging onto

:12:49. > :12:54.this idea of building new towns which will not be full of unhealthy

:12:55. > :12:59.slobs, miraculously, if you offer incentives, there might be a way to

:13:00. > :13:02.convince people to take part in healthy living programmes. Who is

:13:03. > :13:07.paying for this. Cinema are not charities. We'll NHS England have a

:13:08. > :13:17.huge budget to do this? I thought they were short of money. They are

:13:18. > :13:21.short of money. I imagine it's a tie-up with a private company that

:13:22. > :13:29.wants publicity. The key thing is the extent to which the can

:13:30. > :13:32.influence people. I imagine a lot of people would like free cinema

:13:33. > :13:38.tickets and discounts from the supermarket. The other interesting

:13:39. > :13:41.thing is, if they could convince people to stay healthy and in later

:13:42. > :13:47.life, savings would be enormous. If you could get all those people...

:13:48. > :13:50.That I fear that the people already minded to exercise will take part in

:13:51. > :13:57.these programmes and the people you need to target would stay in, on the

:13:58. > :14:00.server. My dad has a Fitbit, I bought one for Christmas, normally

:14:01. > :14:04.he wouldn't go out walking and I think he will love this. He wears it

:14:05. > :14:09.every and tells us are many steps is done and I think this is the kind of

:14:10. > :14:14.thing which will get him out more. Let's go to the Financial Times,

:14:15. > :14:18.Jim. I think you take an interest in a subject like this. North - south

:14:19. > :14:24.divide of rail and road spending must end, is a business chiefs.

:14:25. > :14:29.Project after project of northern transportation sidelined, and

:14:30. > :14:35.invested in, not getting enough money, it still cost a bomb to get

:14:36. > :14:41.from York to Manchester and it takes an hour and a half and yet you can

:14:42. > :14:45.get across London from about ?8 relying on trains. Disproportionate

:14:46. > :14:49.spending. Having grown up in the North of England and now living in

:14:50. > :14:53.London the quality of transport here is so much better and more

:14:54. > :14:58.affordable and when you a small two carriage train rattling across

:14:59. > :15:03.between major cities in the north and there is one every hour whenever

:15:04. > :15:10.I go on the reporting trip that there you realise how unfair it is.

:15:11. > :15:15.You are a North Yorkshire lad. Fitbit, you are from Preston. I

:15:16. > :15:20.disagree. We spoke about this earlier, smack Larisa, you are from

:15:21. > :15:24.Preston. You are always on time and you can get a seat, whereas

:15:25. > :15:29.commuting to work in London is terrible. Is that not the point,

:15:30. > :15:33.there is a great publishing on the move, whether on the roads in the

:15:34. > :15:37.south, although roads seem crowded everywhere to me these days yet the

:15:38. > :15:41.trains are crowded and that is we've got to spend your money. I'm in

:15:42. > :15:48.favour of Crossrail in London because you have to support growth

:15:49. > :15:54.in London. Let's talk about it. The day after the Transport Secretary

:15:55. > :15:59.Chris Grayling accidentally let slip that Leeds - Manchester might not be

:16:00. > :16:01.electrified, the following day he announced he was backing Crossrail

:16:02. > :16:06.which could cost tens of billions of pounds. When you are sitting there,

:16:07. > :16:11.I know some journeys in the north are lovely but if you are commuting

:16:12. > :16:13.to Manchester so often it's disgusting and overcrowded. You'll

:16:14. > :16:22.be very annoyed that the money is again going to the capital. Larisa,

:16:23. > :16:26.the Bake-Off is back, although it's on Channel 4 and here's a picture on

:16:27. > :16:30.the front of the Guardian, Prue Leith, Noel Fielding, Millie Berry,

:16:31. > :16:35.although there is a bit of a problem, Prue Leith has spoken about

:16:36. > :16:39.the ad break stash Mary Berry. She says that if people don't want the

:16:40. > :16:44.ad breaks they can watch the show later and skip the adverts. Which

:16:45. > :16:49.given that Channel 4 has paid tens of millions of pounds to get the

:16:50. > :16:54.show from the BBC and ensure they are delighted with that! The chief

:16:55. > :16:58.executive, J Hunt, says, we are a commercial broadcaster and we do

:16:59. > :17:04.need to pay the shows like Bake-Off. That sounds like a gritted teeth

:17:05. > :17:08.remark. All publicity is good publicity. Indeed.
