0:00:00 > 0:00:00next year, saying it was "time for change" after more
0:00:00 > 0:00:03than thirty years.
0:00:16 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be
0:00:19 > 0:00:20bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22With me the broadcaster and former Fleet Street Editor,
0:00:23 > 0:00:26Eve Pollard and the journalist, Yasmin Alibhai Brown.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Let's look at tomorrow's front pages then:
0:00:31 > 0:00:36The Observer leads on the situation in Zimbabwe, with a picture of one
0:00:36 > 0:00:39of the anti-Mugabe demonstrators that have been out on the streets of
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Harare.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44The Mail on Sunday reports on an apparent altercation
0:00:44 > 0:00:47between two Labour MPs in the Commons chamber.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49The Sunday Express claims that in Wednesday's budget,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51the Chancellor will announce support for Britain's tech industry,
0:00:51 > 0:00:57which could mean we'll have driverless cars
0:00:57 > 0:00:58on our roads by 2021.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00The Sunday Telegraph also leads on a pre-budget announcement,
0:01:00 > 0:01:05reporting that nurses are in line for a pay rise.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08The Sunday Times has a dispatch from Zimbabwe and also reports
0:01:08 > 0:01:10that the Chancellor will use Wednesday's budget to announce plans
0:01:10 > 0:01:19to build 300,000 homes every year
0:01:19 > 0:01:26So let's begin. Zimbabwean. All the papers have something on this
0:01:26 > 0:01:31but let's start with the Observer. Gassman, could you start us? A
0:01:31 > 0:01:41fantastic image of a cheerful anti- Mugabe demonstrated. But there...
0:01:41 > 0:01:47This is now building up to some sort of resolution of a crisis. He has
0:01:47 > 0:01:52held out. He has tried to get a Catholic priest to be an
0:01:52 > 0:01:57intermediary and all sorts of things. It is time for him to go and
0:01:57 > 0:02:02the army has behaved with dignity. What is interesting here, the
0:02:02 > 0:02:06protests are not just about him. There is a quote here from the
0:02:06 > 0:02:16International Crisis Group that says we are not just out to support a
0:02:16 > 0:02:20takeover by another leader, we want and they said, we want an
0:02:20 > 0:02:25alternative to decentralising controlling narrative. About
0:02:25 > 0:02:29sophisticated. It is not going to stop that they just replace the
0:02:29 > 0:02:35chosen one...With someone similar? But that is the point. The person
0:02:35 > 0:02:42who looks like he will take over is the person he pushed out the other
0:02:42 > 0:02:46day, a man associated with Robert Mugabe down the years.Since they
0:02:46 > 0:02:52have actually shown such restraint, the army. We do know many other
0:02:52 > 0:02:56countries where Robert Mugabe would have now been thrown into jail, this
0:02:56 > 0:03:01is probably time to have an election. If the UN is going to mean
0:03:01 > 0:03:04anything, it should actually send people over there and say this is
0:03:04 > 0:03:10what country wants, give them the chance to vote for who they want.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14And show the world, actually, that Africa can handle these things.
0:03:14 > 0:03:19There are some wonderful female leaders in Dubai were. Absolutely
0:03:19 > 0:03:24astonishing women who have been waiting to get this opportunity to
0:03:24 > 0:03:32have a proper tomography. There are deep problems. They are not all of
0:03:32 > 0:03:41Mugabe's making. We left the country and said... When Britain left and
0:03:41 > 0:03:45when Rhodesia was handed over, a promise was made that money would be
0:03:45 > 0:03:49made available to buy back the land snatched from black owners. That
0:03:49 > 0:03:56never happened. Many things to be resolved but I have always been
0:03:56 > 0:03:58astonished by the level of sophistication of Zimbabweans.
0:03:58 > 0:04:05Political, economic and so on. So they let go, the future could be
0:04:05 > 0:04:11amazing.He is 93.He has had a good run. The one character in the
0:04:11 > 0:04:21background, Grace. They do not want her.I am Madge and she is out there
0:04:21 > 0:04:28flourishing her credit card. Domestic matters now. Many people
0:04:28 > 0:04:31speculating on what the Chancellor will have on that budget box on
0:04:31 > 0:04:36Wednesday. He is getting a lot of advice from all over the place are
0:04:36 > 0:04:41there will be a pay boost for nurses?What do we know about this?
0:04:41 > 0:04:46The interesting thing is that yesterday he got a letter from the
0:04:46 > 0:04:53Noraid top Tories telling him to look at the NHS and as we discussed
0:04:53 > 0:04:58earlier, it should not be a political football. It needs to be
0:04:58 > 0:05:02sorted out all the country. There will be a pay rise for nurses. The
0:05:02 > 0:05:08education for schools and they need help as well. He will also be
0:05:08 > 0:05:12political as every Chancellor is. He will show the country that the
0:05:12 > 0:05:22Conservative come at some of the austerity glowed.I don't know...
0:05:22 > 0:05:27You get more tax if you tax people in a fair way, almost in a flat we.
0:05:27 > 0:05:31What they should do is stop things like the Paradise Papers, the Panama
0:05:31 > 0:05:38papers. They should stop people being able to park money abroad. I
0:05:38 > 0:05:43also think that you want to encourage the country to think that
0:05:43 > 0:05:47it needs to purchase British and it needs British goods to purchase. I
0:05:47 > 0:05:51have returned from New York and it is buzzing. That is what he needs to
0:05:51 > 0:05:58do in this budget.You both avoided a word that dominated from the
0:05:58 > 0:06:02start, Brexit. That is in his calculations as well.In my view it
0:06:02 > 0:06:06is the worst and most damaging thing that the country, that has happened
0:06:06 > 0:06:11to the country and what is worst is that even the Tory party does not
0:06:11 > 0:06:18seem to be able to unite and decide how to take this forward. They'll
0:06:18 > 0:06:23suspect Philip Hammond, because he is not a proper Brexit. -- Brexit
0:06:23 > 0:06:30supporter. Domestic policy is simply not being made. I was speaking to a
0:06:30 > 0:06:34civil servant yesterday who says that Brexit is sucking up all the
0:06:34 > 0:06:39attention.You are dealing with a Europe that is behaving like a
0:06:39 > 0:06:43wronged partner. They want the house, they want the money and then
0:06:43 > 0:06:48they will tell you if you can ever see the children. Why nobody thought
0:06:48 > 0:06:53that the Europeans would feel this way, I do not understand.You use
0:06:53 > 0:06:59the word house. How appropriate. The Sunday Times has on the front page,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02printing the worst picture of the Chancellor. Scratching his head,
0:07:02 > 0:07:10poor fellow. He does have a lot to think about. Says he is planning to
0:07:10 > 0:07:14build 300,000 homes a year. This goes to the heart of so much
0:07:14 > 0:07:17criticism of politicians.We need more houses and they are not being
0:07:17 > 0:07:22billed. The word is missing here. Affordable. Houses and flats are
0:07:22 > 0:07:29being built everywhere. Where I live... Huge, huge buildings. But
0:07:29 > 0:07:37they are incredibly expensive. That's what we've got. We need
0:07:37 > 0:07:40affordable houses for people who work in public services, for young
0:07:40 > 0:07:45people, and that is the word that needs to be there.I am afraid that
0:07:45 > 0:07:50if your wonderful view may be spoiled I agree you should build a
0:07:50 > 0:07:57Littlewoods or put Theresa but people... There is great spaces in
0:07:57 > 0:08:01England with no houses in.Returning to the story, what do you think?
0:08:01 > 0:08:07300,000 homes a year, the equivalent of eight 80. Quite ambitious.He
0:08:07 > 0:08:14made that promise and people will hold it against them. We are in a
0:08:14 > 0:08:17febrile political atmosphere and I think if he does not come through
0:08:17 > 0:08:21with it... And what saying is correct, there are builders hanging
0:08:21 > 0:08:27on to land. Local councils hanging on to land and, actually, what we
0:08:27 > 0:08:30need to do is have citizen journalists and somebody should
0:08:30 > 0:08:33write in all the empty houses, or the lengthy -- emptied land.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35write in all the empty houses, or the lengthy -- emptied land.. Only
0:08:35 > 0:08:41two to 3% of the land across Britain is occupied. By buildings...That
0:08:41 > 0:08:49does sound low. A small proportion, I take your point. Not a lot of time
0:08:49 > 0:08:52left. Moving on to something else who front page of the Sunday Times,
0:08:52 > 0:08:59inspectors to quiz girls wearing hijab.What is this about? There is
0:08:59 > 0:09:04a new inspectorate, chief inspector of schools and she is for the first
0:09:04 > 0:09:12time they will ask girls as young as four, who are being dressed in hijab
0:09:12 > 0:09:18to go to school. This is all about women's position in place in
0:09:18 > 0:09:23society. I think it is good we are asking that because I think a young
0:09:23 > 0:09:29girl should not feel that hair is embarrassing, sexual... She is too
0:09:29 > 0:09:34young to be these things.This is their. I am a Muslim and I have
0:09:34 > 0:09:38written a book arguing against this because there is nothing in the
0:09:38 > 0:09:44Quran...When you say against, make clear, you mean against wearing
0:09:44 > 0:09:48hijab?There is nothing that says you cover your hen or your face.
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Only the wives and the family of the profit were being harassed when they
0:09:52 > 0:09:58went into public space. Five male authorities on religion last week
0:09:58 > 0:10:03pronounced that the hijab was not necessary. Nobody is listening to
0:10:03 > 0:10:09them. It doesn't make women look... First of all, I want these girls to
0:10:09 > 0:10:13fly free and I want them to have a wonderful education. I want them to
0:10:13 > 0:10:17marry who they want to and be British. That is the other thing. If
0:10:17 > 0:10:21you live here I think there must be a certain amount of integration and
0:10:21 > 0:10:25I do not want these girls... I do not want them to be second-class
0:10:25 > 0:10:35citizens.I often stop mothers of South Asian origin and say you are
0:10:35 > 0:10:38sexualising your child. You are saying that your three-year-old is a
0:10:38 > 0:10:46sexual being. They get very frustrated. It is the same as a
0:10:46 > 0:10:50child of real for going out in a boot tube. It is the same thing. You
0:10:50 > 0:10:54say that this girl is a sexual object. I think it is important for
0:10:54 > 0:10:58us modernist Muslims to do that. I think it is good. I think it is
0:10:58 > 0:11:03great that school authorities are asking girls why are you wearing it?
0:11:03 > 0:11:07I hope also asking the parents and, importantly, asking the fathers.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11Sometimes it is the mothers who perpetuate this. There is a
0:11:11 > 0:11:19wonderful local councillor in Birmingham who started a whole
0:11:19 > 0:11:24campaign against this. I think it has come from some very good modern
0:11:24 > 0:11:33Muslim sources.The interesting word to mean this story is calling it a
0:11:33 > 0:11:37controversial move. So not everyone will say it is a good idea.Can I
0:11:37 > 0:11:42say, in France, it is not allowed and I think the French have taken on
0:11:42 > 0:11:45board the fact that if you come to France you will live like French
0:11:45 > 0:11:50people and you will give your girls every chance to fly.Like I said, it
0:11:50 > 0:11:53was never in our faith I don't know where it came from.It was
0:11:53 > 0:12:02controlling.And, finally, a picture on the front page of the Sunday
0:12:02 > 0:12:09Telegraph. 70 years and counting, the Queen and Prince Philip.Are you
0:12:09 > 0:12:13in a celebrant Tory mood? I think it is a sweet picture. I think they are
0:12:13 > 0:12:18having a low-level dinner with the family but not doing anything
0:12:18 > 0:12:22high-powered. I think it is sweet. Anybody who can keep any
0:12:22 > 0:12:25relationship going for 70 years deserves a pat on the back.One
0:12:25 > 0:12:29thing, if you look online there is an amazing picture of the Queen with
0:12:29 > 0:12:35Robert Mugabe when she visited curare in 1991. It is the most
0:12:35 > 0:12:39flirty I have ever seen her. He was very good-looking and it is an
0:12:39 > 0:12:45amazing photograph.Schuster returned to Prince Philip.But how
0:12:45 > 0:12:54that is what he was before he turned.I think getting the Queen
0:12:54 > 0:12:59and to -- Mr Mugabe into the same conversation is remarkable. Z for
0:12:59 > 0:13:04the papers denied. Headlines coming up. -- that is it for the papers
0:13:04 > 0:13:06tonight.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Headlines coming up at the top of the hour, and up next,
