:00:16. > :00:19.Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
:00:20. > :00:22.With me are Asa Bennett, Brexit Commissioning Editor
:00:23. > :00:24.at The Telegraph and the Times Columnist Jenni Russell.
:00:25. > :00:28.Tomorrow's front pages...starting with...
:00:29. > :00:30.We start with The I which carries an extraordinary picture
:00:31. > :00:32.of the devastation caused by hurricane Irma as it swept
:00:33. > :00:36.The Metro says the UK has promised ?32m in aid to UK
:00:37. > :00:38.territories in the region, it also carries a picture
:00:39. > :00:41.of Prince George on his first day at school.
:00:42. > :00:47.The Times claims the Prime Minister is being pressured to sack
:00:48. > :00:50.a minister and an aide following their support for a letter
:00:51. > :00:53.urging Mrs May to stick to plans for a hard Brexit.
:00:54. > :00:56.The Daily Mail urgues Brussels not to treat the UK with 'contempt'
:00:57. > :00:58.saying the Eu's lead negotiator Michel Barnier has unleashed
:00:59. > :01:05.a string of personal attacks on the Brexit Secretary David Davis.
:01:06. > :01:08.The Mirror says the Royal navy was racing to the caribbean to help
:01:09. > :01:10.save stranded Brits, including two sisters who it says
:01:11. > :01:28.The express reveals the seven steps we all need to take to keep our
:01:29. > :01:32.brains active. The Sun's splashes the plea for the Britons trapped in
:01:33. > :01:39.what it calls the nuclear hurricane. We will begin with the coverage of
:01:40. > :01:43.Irma and that picture, simple headline, devastated, it looks like
:01:44. > :01:48.matchsticks and these are buildings that had just been demolished. Whole
:01:49. > :01:53.island is said to be barely inhabitable. Although the death toll
:01:54. > :01:58.is steadily rising, the real devastation is for those people who
:01:59. > :02:03.have had islands flattened and livelihoods ruined and they have
:02:04. > :02:09.been cast out of their home. This is lead pair up with this stark image.
:02:10. > :02:16.Britain has woken up to this and is pledging to raise its AIDS relief to
:02:17. > :02:22.?32 million. Other nations have been quicker -- aid relief. Given that we
:02:23. > :02:32.note that there are more hurricanes coming like Joe is a hands Katia,
:02:33. > :02:37.lasting solutions will be needed. It is facing the next onslaught. The
:02:38. > :02:44.temperature in the sea feeding these enormous storms, particularly Irma,
:02:45. > :02:49.the size of France. It is almost unimaginable that you can have a
:02:50. > :02:53.storms so large that if you were sitting in a house in Provence and
:02:54. > :02:59.rang her friend in Normandy, you would be in the same storm. The
:03:00. > :03:05.problem with this story is that the British response is shameful, ?32
:03:06. > :03:09.million is absolutely nothing and it will be spread between many islands
:03:10. > :03:13.and when you consider that Barbuda is 90% destroyed according to its
:03:14. > :03:19.Prime Minister, I knew nothing about and well before this, but it has
:03:20. > :03:23.been British since 1650 and it is strategically important, because 20%
:03:24. > :03:27.of the world's shipping passes through its waters on the way to the
:03:28. > :03:33.Panama Canal. We have got a lot out of a name that island, and now, in
:03:34. > :03:36.its hour of need, we are not prepared to do anything like what
:03:37. > :03:42.the French are doing for their islands. We have been ill-prepared
:03:43. > :03:47.and slow to respond. There is a difference that plays into this in
:03:48. > :03:54.how many of our territories have more autonomy than those that are
:03:55. > :03:57.French protectorates. Anguilla is British, apparently and unlike some
:03:58. > :04:01.of the other countries that had independence, they say we should be
:04:02. > :04:04.treated exactly like the Falkland Islands are the people of Gibraltar.
:04:05. > :04:08.We have the same kinds of responsibility and so far we are
:04:09. > :04:18.acting as if we did not. The Daily Mirror says that the Navy are seen
:04:19. > :04:20.to save British citizens. The French got their military interposition
:04:21. > :04:25.beforehand because there are forecast, we know these storms are
:04:26. > :04:31.coming. They are there to predict this. Experts look ahead to these
:04:32. > :04:39.things. We know about the storms, the Navy was able to move in. People
:04:40. > :04:46.have been saved, like this couple who were missing in Barbuda and the
:04:47. > :04:51.mother feared they would be victims. No wonder Britain has had to move as
:04:52. > :04:57.fast as they can. The reaction of Theresa May has been slow on this.
:04:58. > :05:00.We have learned lessons from Montserrat 20 years ago when the
:05:01. > :05:06.volcano erupted but there was criticism that things -- but things
:05:07. > :05:13.have improved. It does not look that way so far and I think Britain will
:05:14. > :05:23.have to up its offer. Let us move on to Brexit. It seems to have been a
:05:24. > :05:27.long time coming. The Times, Minister in firing line over MPs
:05:28. > :05:33.Brexit letter. Who is in the firing line and white? There is a minister
:05:34. > :05:37.in the department who are part of a watt sub group of MPs who want a
:05:38. > :05:43.very hard Brexit and these people who are part of the government have
:05:44. > :05:48.privately urged MPs to back a public policy, a letter to the newspapers
:05:49. > :05:52.which says we want a hard Brexit, no transition, we want to be able to
:05:53. > :05:56.sign trade deals when we leave in 2019 which is directly opposed to
:05:57. > :06:00.the policy that the Chancellor is pushing and if you have collective
:06:01. > :06:10.responsibility in government, you cannot have people who are ministers
:06:11. > :06:13.who are privately urging people to subvert the government policy. They
:06:14. > :06:16.are in a lot of trouble and I am afraid it is part of the example in
:06:17. > :06:18.which a small group of hard Brexiteers tried to push the country
:06:19. > :06:23.to do something that anyone involved in business or trade or services is
:06:24. > :06:26.anxious about, because it if we have a hard Brexit, we will be following
:06:27. > :06:30.off a cliff edge without any arrangements with the rest of the
:06:31. > :06:34.word about goods trades are services and in all probability, we will not
:06:35. > :06:38.have it for airlines, we will have lorries backed up in Kent, we will
:06:39. > :06:44.be in the disastrous situation which will cost us jobs over decades. A
:06:45. > :06:48.lot of people who are very keen on that kind of Brexit would say that
:06:49. > :06:58.we managed before, we went into the EU, why can we not managed after?
:06:59. > :07:01.With the content of the letter, it was reported in bombastic terms, but
:07:02. > :07:03.then wanting the hardest Brexit possible, although many of them
:07:04. > :07:06.would say this is just called Brexit. There is a fascinating point
:07:07. > :07:10.of difference which is the reason why the aid to the Chancellor is
:07:11. > :07:14.facing a dicey situation about her career, on the face of it she is
:07:15. > :07:19.meant to be toeing the line, not making waves and actually, there is
:07:20. > :07:24.part of the letter that runs counter to what Phillip Hammond once, he
:07:25. > :07:30.once a standstill transition, we are still close to the single market and
:07:31. > :07:34.the customs union, where she would think that was repellent and you may
:07:35. > :07:40.as well stay in anyway. The Tories are now saying, maybe she's no
:07:41. > :07:45.longer for this parish. You are still causing a problem for the
:07:46. > :07:49.Conservatives. The reason why this matters is why the Brexiteers are
:07:50. > :07:55.trying to drive this fall, it is as if the Remain won the referendum.
:07:56. > :07:59.This was about to join the euro and Schengen agreement. The Remain
:08:00. > :08:04.Campbell would have asked for an extreme joining to Europe and the
:08:05. > :08:10.hard Brexiteers are interpreting the result is the worst possible outcome
:08:11. > :08:16.for the UK. This is the problem, it was a blunt and crude question, do
:08:17. > :08:25.you want in or out. The Financial Times. Criticism of David Davis as a
:08:26. > :08:30.negotiator. John Caudwell Yunker has gone for the jugular by insinuating
:08:31. > :08:34.that David Davis is unstable, whether politically or physically,
:08:35. > :08:38.it is not clarified and he lacks the authority in the negotiating team
:08:39. > :08:43.and it is all from minutes coming out of the European Commission. This
:08:44. > :08:47.may seem like absolute trash talk from the European side ahead of some
:08:48. > :08:56.sort of Abbeydale at the end. The minute state from July, Michelle
:08:57. > :09:00.Barnier was asked about David Davis, he said, I applaud the
:09:01. > :09:04.professionalism and David Davis has a logical approach. Maybe they have
:09:05. > :09:12.improved in attitudes. The daily mail does not think so. Do not treat
:09:13. > :09:17.us with contempt! This is a ludicrous overreaction, this was not
:09:18. > :09:21.a public statement, it was not trash talk, this was a briefing message to
:09:22. > :09:25.the commission. All he was doing was reporting back on the way that David
:09:26. > :09:31.Davis has been behaving and all the information that we have had from
:09:32. > :09:34.people who work within the area and working with other ministers, is
:09:35. > :09:38.that he is not doing his homework and that people are anxious about
:09:39. > :09:42.the fact he is not concentrating on the task ahead and it is accurate to
:09:43. > :09:45.say he does not seem to think that these negotiations demand his direct
:09:46. > :09:49.involvement. He has never stayed more than a couple of hours before
:09:50. > :09:53.returning to London, he is not in the negotiating room trying to push
:09:54. > :09:55.the talks forward, it is simply accurate, unfortunately for all of
:09:56. > :10:20.us. The Telegraph, a different story. New review recommends race
:10:21. > :10:23.blind trials, criminal trials. This is interesting because David Lambie
:10:24. > :10:25.was asked by David Cameron in 2016 to look at the fact that the
:10:26. > :10:27.criminal justice system incarcerates so many black men in particular.
:10:28. > :10:30.They are jailed at something like four times the rate that white men
:10:31. > :10:33.are. David Lambie got part of the way through the review and found it
:10:34. > :10:36.is not just a end up in jail, black men in particular but black people
:10:37. > :10:38.in general are more likely to be arrested, charged and prosecuted and
:10:39. > :10:40.sentence. He has suggested that perhaps there should be trials in
:10:41. > :10:44.which the people who are making the judgments do not know the race of
:10:45. > :10:47.the people they are sentencing. Unconscious bias has had a lot of
:10:48. > :10:51.attention and companies are being encouraged to think about what kind
:10:52. > :10:55.of unconscious bias exists within their ranks. There is increasing
:10:56. > :11:01.awareness, with that review, the games are laudable but in the detail
:11:02. > :11:07.there are unresolved questions because if you have the race and
:11:08. > :11:11.name it hidden from such judgments, there will still be ideas about what
:11:12. > :11:14.the crime might be. Let us say someone was bringing in drugs from a
:11:15. > :11:18.foreign country, it might be clear where they are hailing from or even
:11:19. > :11:25.the other implication that you have a deferred punishment in terms of
:11:26. > :11:30.responses, who decides? You may want to have them having rehabilitation
:11:31. > :11:34.first rather than jail sentences. There is so much ambiguity. What is
:11:35. > :11:38.fascinating about that is that the DWP did a trial in which they
:11:39. > :11:41.discovered if you had a foreign sounding names were four times less
:11:42. > :11:46.likely to be called for an interview. Unconscious bias was so
:11:47. > :11:52.real and that is what David Lambie thinks he might be tapping into.
:11:53. > :11:57.Daily Express, how to keep your brain sharp. Anything new in there?
:11:58. > :12:05.Stay fit and your mind will follow. If only! What is compelling is it is
:12:06. > :12:08.saying it is not just about being fit, it is about whether you want to
:12:09. > :12:13.end up with dementia or do you want to keep your brain going for as long
:12:14. > :12:17.as possible? We all love lists. If there are seven things we need to
:12:18. > :12:22.do, don't drink too much, walk a few minutes every day, each vegetable.
:12:23. > :12:28.We are more likely to do it. Carry that check list antic, the everyday.
:12:29. > :12:33.Don't forget you can see the front pages of the papers online
:12:34. > :12:38.It's all there for you - 7 days a week at bbc dot co uk
:12:39. > :12:40.forward slash papers - and if you miss the programme any
:12:41. > :12:42.evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.
:12:43. > :12:44.Thank you Asa Bennett and Jenni Russell.
:12:45. > :12:57.We'll get onto the latest UK forecast in a moment. The state of
