0:00:17 > 0:00:20Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers
0:00:20 > 0:00:21will be bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:21 > 0:00:25With me are Jim Waterson, political editor at BuzzFeed,
0:00:25 > 0:00:27and Larisa Brown, defence editor at the Daily Mail.
0:00:27 > 0:00:35Tomorrow's front pages...
0:00:35 > 0:00:37starting with Brexit...
0:00:37 > 0:00:38Brexit really means Brexit, says the Metro.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40They are quoting EU negotiator Michel Barnier
0:00:40 > 0:00:42on their front page.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44The FT leads with German Chancellor Merkel's vow
0:00:44 > 0:00:46to stand firm despite the collapse of her coalition talks.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48The Express reports on a so-called breakthrough
0:00:48 > 0:00:51in the treatment of high blood pressure.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53The i claims that the Prime Minister
0:00:53 > 0:00:55will offer £40 billion for the Brexit divorce bill
0:00:55 > 0:00:59in the hope of progressing talks.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02The Telegraph suggests that tests
0:01:02 > 0:01:05for cancer could be offered in supermarket car parks in order
0:01:05 > 0:01:11to reach people who might avoid going to the doctor.
0:01:11 > 0:01:14The Times claims Tory Brexiters are telling the Prime Minister to take
0:01:14 > 0:01:15advantage of Chancellor Merkel's domestic problems and reduce
0:01:15 > 0:01:20the amount offered in a divorce bill.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24The Guardian leads with the inquiry into the spending of the Vote Leave
0:01:24 > 0:01:25campaign and whether it broke finance rules
0:01:25 > 0:01:29during the referendum campaign.
0:01:29 > 0:01:38The Daily Mirror's front-page leads on Great British Bake Off Judge Paul
0:01:38 > 0:01:46Collingwood's marriage break-up. -- Pol... Paul Collingwood.
0:01:48 > 0:01:54Let's start with the Brexit tots and the divorce Bill.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Theresa May member of the Cabinet to discuss tactics on Brexit ahead of
0:01:57 > 0:02:01the European Council meeting in December. It was widely anticipated
0:02:01 > 0:02:06she was going to discuss the crucial issue of the divorce Bill.
0:02:06 > 0:02:11Yesterday, we were told it would be 40 billion and that is what the i is
0:02:11 > 0:02:15reporting this evening. Critchley, she has been given the green light
0:02:15 > 0:02:18by Michael Gove on Boris Johnson, who are very sceptical. It looks
0:02:18 > 0:02:22like she will increase the UK offer. But it is going to come on the
0:02:22 > 0:02:29condition that there will be some headway with the EU and they will
0:02:29 > 0:02:34actually progressive trade talks and authority over Britain.Clearly
0:02:34 > 0:02:39desperately hoping to get a bit of a breakthrough at the summit in
0:02:39 > 0:02:42December, whether EU leaders have to decide whether they are prepared to
0:02:42 > 0:02:49begin talking about trade.It is now one ever. You have no option. They
0:02:49 > 0:02:52have to push ahead in the next stage of the docks by the start of next
0:02:52 > 0:02:56year rows with as much as a deal being struck by the time we get out
0:02:56 > 0:02:59of the EU. So this is not so much that Britain has a chance to
0:02:59 > 0:03:03negotiate, we have to start offering what the EU is willing to take.
0:03:03 > 0:03:08Theresa May talked about 20 billion and now seems 40 billion is a thing
0:03:08 > 0:03:12that will get the sign. The interesting thing is that Boris and
0:03:12 > 0:03:15golf has said, we see the situation as it is, we're willing to push
0:03:15 > 0:03:22ahead. Right project, move onto the next stage because otherwise the
0:03:22 > 0:03:27Brexit deal will be a disaster.They have to hope it works, because of
0:03:27 > 0:03:30the torment and CNET is enough progress on a few other things, they
0:03:30 > 0:03:35will have thrown away the best negotiating card.A lot of
0:03:35 > 0:03:42Brexiteers have come out in light of this and are furious that we would
0:03:42 > 0:03:47increase our divorce Bill. They say that we should not have to cough up
0:03:47 > 0:03:51much of it.This money has to come from somewhere. 40 billion, if you
0:03:51 > 0:03:55sign that offers an ongoing cost and it ends up in the Treasury book on
0:03:55 > 0:04:00the finances is a bit more competition and initially think, but
0:04:00 > 0:04:05this is money that could be spent on something. It could be spent on
0:04:05 > 0:04:08domestic priorities and the NHS and hospitals. There is enormous
0:04:08 > 0:04:15pressure for Robert -- public spending. Selling this to the public
0:04:15 > 0:04:18will be quite hard, that we are still being monitored EU, that will
0:04:18 > 0:04:24not go down well. Hamida is under a lot of pressure on Wednesday to
0:04:24 > 0:04:30cough up cash for infrastructure to the NHS and defence. -- Hammond.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Whilst also sorting out the deficit. We have a huge debt crisis at the
0:04:34 > 0:04:41moment. National debt is something like 1.8 jillion pounds. --
0:04:41 > 0:04:49trillion.A Chancellor is going to be saying, well, there's not much
0:04:49 > 0:04:54money to spend, we have to keep a tight on public spending, one
0:04:54 > 0:04:57suspects there could be more of this row to go.
0:04:57 > 0:05:04Let's have a look at the Metro. Michel Barnier, speaking earlier,
0:05:04 > 0:05:07saying that Brexit really means Brexit.The telling thing for this
0:05:07 > 0:05:12is that he has spoken in English. He is normally quite... Your whiskers
0:05:12 > 0:05:17answers at press conferences in French and is always reluctant to
0:05:17 > 0:05:19engage in English back and forth with John Oster press conferences.
0:05:19 > 0:05:25-- he always answers. He has delivered this foreign English
0:05:25 > 0:05:29reading audience and skier the average reader and make them realise
0:05:29 > 0:05:36the situation's gravity. Two big EU agencies based in London, an auction
0:05:36 > 0:05:44process like the Eurovision Song Contest, the medicines agency will
0:05:44 > 0:05:49go to Amsterdam after the vote and the bank agency will go to Paris.
0:05:49 > 0:05:55This is the real effect of Brexit and we are already seen it at home.
0:05:55 > 0:06:01The government said it wants to promote global Britain after Brexit.
0:06:01 > 0:06:06But those agencies moving is not a great diplomatic sign. Michelle
0:06:06 > 0:06:10Bachelet is wanting to play hardball and his comments are showing us that
0:06:10 > 0:06:13things will not be easy after we decide what this divorce is going to
0:06:13 > 0:06:21be.He was talking about a trade deal and said that the dome happened
0:06:21 > 0:06:25so long as Britain stays very close to the EU on a lot of those
0:06:25 > 0:06:28regulations on food standards and social roles and environmental
0:06:28 > 0:06:33protections and so on, which a lot of the Brexiteers want to...That
0:06:33 > 0:06:37seems to my mind to be increasingly the way things are going. We will
0:06:37 > 0:06:40have a technical Brexit and definitely come out of the year but
0:06:40 > 0:06:44the reality for a terms of their relationship with other countries
0:06:44 > 0:06:47and how they work in terms of regulations is going to stay pretty
0:06:47 > 0:06:52similar. We're just going to copy and paste everything across and
0:06:52 > 0:06:55technically we will be out but in reality we will be pretty much on a
0:06:55 > 0:06:59lot of the same regulations.Of course, all this is complicated by
0:06:59 > 0:07:03the situation in Germany. A lot of the newspapers picking up on Angela
0:07:03 > 0:07:08Merkel's difficulties in forming a coalition.
0:07:08 > 0:07:13The Times talking about, Theresa May told to exploit the metal prices and
0:07:13 > 0:07:21exploit the Brexit Bill.Germany in a great time political turmoil and
0:07:21 > 0:07:26that, why don't the UK use this opportunity and say, oh, actually,
0:07:26 > 0:07:31we should not be giving billions and try and force the EU's and. Germany
0:07:31 > 0:07:35and France are the two countries that have been quite tough in this
0:07:35 > 0:07:39process. We are told other countries are quite willing to let the talks
0:07:39 > 0:07:42progress onto trade. By taking advantage of this, it is hoped that
0:07:42 > 0:07:47the UK can move forward without putting up too much cash.It is
0:07:47 > 0:07:54telling that this is the same way that no-one expected Theresa May's
0:07:54 > 0:07:58election gamble to feel so dramatically. Merkel was supposed to
0:07:58 > 0:08:06easily win her fourth term in office in Germany. The opposition said they
0:08:06 > 0:08:11would not go into another grand coalition, will have attempts to
0:08:11 > 0:08:14form coalitions with other parties has failed, it seems. That is not
0:08:14 > 0:08:20how German politics works. We have had Brexit there was not supposed to
0:08:20 > 0:08:23happen, Donald Trump's victory, was not supposed to happen. Things that
0:08:23 > 0:08:27are not supposed to happen in politics keep happening.Although
0:08:27 > 0:08:33the Times are quoting some of the ardent Brexiteers saying, well, if
0:08:33 > 0:08:37the E is weakened by Merkel's plight, we could reduce the Brexit
0:08:37 > 0:08:40Bill, it might make things more contributed in terms of getting
0:08:40 > 0:08:46progress.The argument is it could prolong the Brexit talks. How can
0:08:46 > 0:08:50they discuss it with Germany doesn't have a functioning government? It is
0:08:50 > 0:08:53worrying because they need at least a sort of government to represent
0:08:53 > 0:08:58Germany on the table.Several of the other papers have variations of
0:08:58 > 0:09:02those very telling pictures of Angela Merkel. Another one on the
0:09:02 > 0:09:09front page of the Daily Telegraph. The difficulties and the anguish
0:09:09 > 0:09:14etched on Angela Merkel's says.As we said, this was not supposed to
0:09:14 > 0:09:18happen. When we think about the Brexit Bill, we think of it has one
0:09:18 > 0:09:22set of negotiations that when it is concluded with toxin brussels, we
0:09:22 > 0:09:27have a deal. This needs to be signed off by other nations. It is not as
0:09:27 > 0:09:31simple as on the eve of Brexit, we sign a bit of paper a bit like
0:09:31 > 0:09:35ending a war of something. This is a lot more complicated and needs to be
0:09:35 > 0:09:38signed off by all the Parliaments. Merkel being in an unstable position
0:09:38 > 0:09:43is not good for that.The caption says Merkel faces battle for
0:09:43 > 0:09:46survival. She said today she would not resign and that she would rather
0:09:46 > 0:09:51have another election than try and form a minority government. We will
0:09:51 > 0:09:56see what happens.But that could take months, of course.
0:09:56 > 0:10:04Another story on the Telegraph... Cancer tests at supermarkets.This
0:10:04 > 0:10:08is the idea that Britain actually isn't that great at long-term cancer
0:10:08 > 0:10:13survival rates. One of the problems is getting people tested, getting
0:10:13 > 0:10:18them to go to the GP and checked out at hospital. Maybe, if you start
0:10:18 > 0:10:21doing the tests in as of market car park will people do their weekly
0:10:21 > 0:10:24shop, you could pick things up early and treat them and get better
0:10:24 > 0:10:27survival rates. Make sure people can live slightly longer and happier
0:10:27 > 0:10:35lives. There was a telling stat there which is -- statistic in the
0:10:35 > 0:10:43other the UK isn't the worst -- is the one of the worst countries in
0:10:43 > 0:10:50terms of these rates.And you might get the more quickly than you can at
0:10:50 > 0:10:53most GPs!People are frustrated that they try and get an appointment and
0:10:53 > 0:10:58can't actually get one. The chief Executive of NHS England is also
0:10:58 > 0:11:03confirming plans that there will be home testing for bowel cancer
0:11:03 > 0:11:06screening. A lot of people don't even want to leave the house to deal
0:11:06 > 0:11:09with these issues and the idea that you can do this at home would be
0:11:09 > 0:11:13very welcome for a lot of people. The Telegraph has another story
0:11:13 > 0:11:17about the Eurotunnel changing its name to create what it calls a more
0:11:17 > 0:11:26Anglo-Saxon identity.Goodbye Eurotunnel plc, hello... I have lost
0:11:26 > 0:11:34the name! It is in tiny text on the Telegraph front page. It is
0:11:34 > 0:11:43apparently a more Anglo-Saxon name. Getlink four. It is a bit of a silly
0:11:43 > 0:11:47story but you will see more of this, corporate businesses trying to work
0:11:47 > 0:11:52out their identity after Brexit.How many people will use the term
0:11:52 > 0:11:58Getlink instead of the Eurotunnel? We should also just look at one
0:11:58 > 0:12:02another story express has on its second page.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07The Queen presenting a rare gong develop before a party at the
0:12:07 > 0:12:15castle. -- to Philip. Celebrating 70 years of marriage. Really is an
0:12:15 > 0:12:19extraordinary achievement.Very long time.We don't see Prince Philip
0:12:19 > 0:12:29burial -- very often any more. Quite a nice picture of them all out on a
0:12:29 > 0:12:33trip.I like the idea of the Queen giving her personal honour to him
0:12:33 > 0:12:38two 70 years of marriage, which is a bit of a strange relationship.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41Congratulations for putting up with me for 70 years, have a nice little
0:12:41 > 0:12:46metal, darling.Yes, here you are darling, the Knight grand Cross of
0:12:46 > 0:12:51the Royal Victoria in order for services to the sovereign.How has
0:12:51 > 0:12:55he gone 70 years without getting this so far? What is wrong with 60?
0:12:55 > 0:13:00Cash she been dangling this in front of him, waiting until he hit his 90s
0:13:00 > 0:13:04to get it? Why did he have to wait so long?You wonder if that is what
0:13:04 > 0:13:08usually open to get as they celebrate their 70 years together.
0:13:08 > 0:13:15Exactly.Quite an achievement when you consider especially so much of
0:13:15 > 0:13:22the time spent here in the public eye, even though as you said Prince
0:13:22 > 0:13:25Philip taking a slight back seat now that he has stood down from his
0:13:25 > 0:13:30formal public duties.I like the fact that he took out his nephews,
0:13:30 > 0:13:34which conjures up the idea of smokers are clear. When you're 96,
0:13:34 > 0:13:43his nephew Maximillian is 84. Less a sort of energetic family reunion,
0:13:43 > 0:13:49Maura Gentle carry right through Windsor Park by the looks of things.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54-- carriage ride. Thank you both very much indeed for
0:13:54 > 0:14:00joining us tonight. You can see the front pages of the papers online BBC
0:14:00 > 0:14:04website.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07It's all there for you seven days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09And if you miss the programme any
0:14:09 > 0:14:19evening, you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24Now to catch up
