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.
