Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be

0:00:150:00:19

bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:190:00:20

With me are Henry Mance,

political correspondent

0:00:200:00:21

at the Financial Times

and Claire Cohen, Editor

0:00:210:00:23

of Telegraph Women.

0:00:230:00:25

Tomorrow's front pages...

0:00:250:00:27

The Financial Times says Europe's

banks have removed more

0:00:270:00:30

than £350 billion worth of assets

from the UK in the last 12 months,

0:00:300:00:34

after the vote to leave the EU.

0:00:340:00:37

The Times claims a defence minister

is threatening to quit

0:00:370:00:40

if the military is forced to impose

more cost cutting measures -

0:00:400:00:43

including reducing the army

to below 70,000 soldiers.

0:00:430:00:49

The Mail headlines movement

in the Brexit negotiations -

0:00:490:00:52

with the EU signalling it is willing

to start talks on a possible

0:00:520:00:55

trade-deal after the latest

talks with Theresa May.

0:00:550:00:58

The Telegraph cites a new report

that says one in five women

0:00:580:01:01

won't become a mother,

as childlessness has doubled

0:01:010:01:06

within a generation.

0:01:060:01:07

The Express writes that winds

from the Arctic will descent

0:01:070:01:10

on the UK this weekend -

with temperatures hitting

0:01:100:01:12

as low as minus 6.

0:01:120:01:19

We will begin with the Guardian,

which is reporting on its front page

0:01:190:01:24

the appalling atrocities that have

happened in Egypt and the Sinai

0:01:240:01:29

peninsula. Hundreds of worshippers

killed in Sinai mosque attack. There

0:01:290:01:34

is so much attention in the Middle

East paid to a Iraq. Yemen and

0:01:340:01:46

Syria.

There are reports of off-road

vehicles descending on this Moss, 20

0:01:460:01:53

attackers they say running in and

throwing bombs and gunfire, it is

0:01:530:01:58

really dreadful. It seems to be

overlooked, north Sinai is an

0:01:580:02:04

isolated area and it has a media

blackout. It is a lesser-known,

0:02:040:02:08

perhaps a forgotten part of the

region. For some thing this dreadful

0:02:080:02:12

to happen, the worst attack on

modern Egyptian history is a wake-up

0:02:120:02:15

call.

It was so huge and attack and

so well organised, and we don't

0:02:150:02:22

quite know yet which faction is

responsible because so many factions

0:02:220:02:27

are at work there.

And you have a

repressive hardline President Sisi.

0:02:270:02:41

His response under his reign is

brute force. That can be partially

0:02:410:02:49

effective, but it also creates the

risk of stirring up more discontent.

0:02:490:02:55

It's an approach that might not

actually passed by the region.

We

0:02:550:03:01

all know that these groups, whether

they are inspired by Islamic State

0:03:010:03:06

or Al-Qaeda, they seem to have no

trouble replenishing fighters, even

0:03:060:03:13

if they are squeezed out of one

territory they pop up somewhere

0:03:130:03:16

else.

Absolutely right, no one has

claimed responsibility yet, but

0:03:160:03:21

there have been scores of attacks in

this region by people saying they

0:03:210:03:30

are affiliated to Isis. It is a

never-ending supply.

We have seen

0:03:300:03:35

Coptic Christians attacked in Egypt,

but this time it was a Sufi Mosque

0:03:350:03:41

which some hardliners take exception

to.

They are not able to exploit a

0:03:410:03:48

divide that they can in the Middle

East, so by isolating religious

0:03:480:03:52

minorities they can stir up a

similar motivation on behalf of

0:03:520:03:58

extremist violence. Obviously for

people going to Friday prayers this

0:03:580:04:03

is the most horrific thing.

So many

people collected in one place at a

0:04:030:04:14

certain time of day, but this has

implications for Israel and Gaza

0:04:140:04:17

because it is so close and

instability in that part of the

0:04:170:04:20

world is always a worry.

If you look

at a Middle East now, if you are a

0:04:200:04:25

foreign diplomat or you are trying

to look for bright spots, there

0:04:250:04:29

aren't that many at the moment. You

look at Yemen, you look at Iran,

0:04:290:04:40

Israel and Palestine, not much

progress. There is lots of worrying

0:04:400:04:44

trouble spots and few obvious

solutions.

Let's look at the Daily

0:04:440:04:51

Mail and onto Brexit. Let's get down

to business, after May increases the

0:04:510:04:56

UK cash offer, EU says trade talks

now possible. This is the Daily Mail

0:04:560:05:02

take on it, I think they said a lot

of movement is required in every

0:05:020:05:05

area which is what they really said,

isn't it?

There are three issues. We

0:05:050:05:10

are getting to the end of the

beginning of negotiations! We have

0:05:100:05:13

to sort out the right of EU

citizens, we have to sort out what

0:05:130:05:18

happens to the Irish border, and we

have to sort out the divorce

0:05:180:05:23

payment. Theresa May has made a big

move on divorce payment, to 40

0:05:230:05:26

billion. This is where we are seeing

progress. But she has ten days to

0:05:260:05:30

get over the finishing line and it

looks like the question of the Irish

0:05:300:05:34

border, had you have a border

without actually having any

0:05:340:05:37

infrastructure, cameras, gardens?

How does that work? She has ten days

0:05:370:05:42

to sort it out.

On social media,

some people say it is boring and

0:05:420:05:49

forget all about it, but we are only

at the beginning.

We are at the

0:05:490:05:53

beginning. This is possibly one of

those times that Donald Tusk has

0:05:530:05:58

dangled the possibility that we can

break the deadlock. You can say that

0:05:580:06:05

to has -- Theresa May is gone in two

20 billion offer, but the EU still

0:06:050:06:08

feels like they have got her over a

barrel. She has gone into saying

0:06:080:06:13

let's hold hands and jump off the

cliff together, and they are coming

0:06:130:06:16

back at her and only allowing the

vague possibility of breaking the

0:06:160:06:22

deadlock. She must feel like she is

playing a game of whack a mole. She

0:06:220:06:35

thought she could put it on I spit

it is the big issue of the day.

0:06:350:06:41

Exhibit Leo Varadkar, could not

fight an election while... That

0:06:410:06:50

border.

Two political crises, one in

Germany, one in Ireland, from a

0:06:500:07:00

British perspective is unseen. They

are complicating factors. There is a

0:07:000:07:07

national interest, and to some

extent there is a united front on

0:07:070:07:10

behalf of Irish politicians who say

it is Britain's problem to sort out.

0:07:100:07:17

You are saying they can have an

innovative border where you can

0:07:170:07:23

track everything and nothing passes

beneath the radar. If you say that

0:07:230:07:26

is possible, you sorted out, they

are saying to Theresa May. It may

0:07:260:07:31

well keep that Government going, but

the chance of collapse would be

0:07:310:07:34

stored in recent talks.

Not

something that people had

0:07:340:07:38

necessarily foreseen as you said.

And maybe Fianna Fail will ease off

0:07:380:07:44

the pressure on finer gales. --

finer. Something that might become

0:07:440:08:05

unstable, toxic, unprofitable come

the day we do leave the EU.

And

0:08:050:08:09

protecting themselves against a

potential no deal. This is been the

0:08:090:08:12

week where we have perhaps in the

first major and tangible impact that

0:08:120:08:16

Brexit could have on the economy. We

have got the European banking

0:08:160:08:22

authority moving headquarters to

Paris, we've got the European

0:08:220:08:25

medical agency moving headquarters

to Amsterdam. We have even got

0:08:250:08:29

Dundee not allowed to go in for the

European city of culture because

0:08:290:08:33

that is run by EU institutions.

There is this sort of trickle

0:08:330:08:39

effect. In the bank shedding 350

million is the latest.

All

0:08:390:08:45

businesses are saying what they

needed certainty and they can't have

0:08:450:08:48

that at the moment. Will galvanise

the Government to try and put its

0:08:480:08:52

house in order so that we can try

and get on and talk about a trade

0:08:520:08:56

deal.

Exactly. What businesses would

love is a transition deal to save it

0:08:560:09:03

any major changes are not 18 months

away, they are more than two years

0:09:030:09:06

away. It would allow people in

boardrooms to say, I am not going to

0:09:060:09:12

make any drastic changes. But what

the moment they have to do is say

0:09:120:09:16

because they don't know what the

situation will be after March 29, I

0:09:160:09:21

will rid myself of a problem even if

it is a slight cost now. I will get

0:09:210:09:25

rid of these assets because I don't

know what the regulatory regime will

0:09:250:09:28

be or how I will execute these deals

after March 20 19.

Not a state

0:09:280:09:33

assets, but actual investment arms

of banks moving away from London.

We

0:09:330:09:41

have in FT story of cliff edge

Brexit talked about. That is a new

0:09:410:09:47

one on me, Huybrechts, soft Brexit,

cliff edge Brexit, shifting

0:09:470:09:51

investments away and people moving

away. Tangible jobs moving away.

The

0:09:510:09:56

red, white and blue Brexit doesn't

get much mention these days. The

0:09:560:10:04

Times, the security alert that

happened earlier today, just down

0:10:040:10:07

the road from here at Oxford circus

where people thought they heard

0:10:070:10:10

shots fired at about 4:40pm this

afternoon on the Underground Tube

0:10:100:10:18

station and there was a massive

lockdown.

It shows what a state of

0:10:180:10:22

high anxiety we are written. The Met

said they received numerous 999

0:10:220:10:26

calls. They must've thought there

was a tangible threat, but only 16

0:10:260:10:33

or so people were injured and that

was as a result of a stampede. There

0:10:330:10:36

have been reports of up of people

running into shop screaming run for

0:10:360:10:42

your lives. The source appears to be

a possible punch-up between two men

0:10:420:10:47

on a tube platform.

We have not been

given details of what that supposed

0:10:470:10:52

gunfire was.

We have not at all.

People were dropping their Black

0:10:520:10:56

Friday shopping bags and running for

what they perceive to be their

0:10:560:11:00

lives. That shows what a really huge

state of panic we are written about

0:11:000:11:04

this.

It was a spooky site to see

all the lights on along Oxford

0:11:040:11:10

Street and around Oxford Circus but

nobody there. On today, one of the

0:11:100:11:14

busiest shopping days of the year.

Disastrous for retailers. On the one

0:11:140:11:20

hand, it is a good news story

because no one died. The platform at

0:11:200:11:26

Oxford circus is constrained, it

might be difficult to see. But I

0:11:260:11:28

think it shows what social media can

do. Someone tweets I am in a shop

0:11:280:11:34

and there seems to be a lockdown.

Loads of people in the area get the

0:11:340:11:38

message, people are running panicked

and so forth. It's just great that

0:11:380:11:44

it was not an attack to be honest.

I

remember when I was on the end the

0:11:440:11:49

night the Paris attacks happen, and

we had initial reports of gunfire.

0:11:490:11:54

It was kind of dismissed, even on

all the news wires as fireworks, it

0:11:540:11:59

is Paris on a Friday night. Or a car

backfiring. And now, we have

0:11:590:12:05

something that was not gunshots that

people think it was. But that worry,

0:12:050:12:09

as you say Claire, is very much on

people's minds.

Another positive to

0:12:090:12:14

take away, even though it has turned

out to be nothing, the Met

0:12:140:12:19

galvanised incredibly quickly and

there were reports straightaway that

0:12:190:12:21

there was a huge, armed police

presence on the scene. So, although

0:12:210:12:27

thankfully came to nothing, had

there been an incident worthy of

0:12:270:12:30

their attention they were there and

ready.

A colleague of mine noticed

0:12:300:12:34

that there were no ambulances to be

seen. Thankfully it all seemed to be

0:12:340:12:38

police vehicles. Speaking of Black

Friday, it is a record breaking

0:12:380:12:46

Black Friday apparently for British

retailers. A huge amount, isn't it

0:12:460:12:51

always says Dave, the voice and

might you. Good for them, I suppose.

0:12:510:12:55

They have to make hay while the

sunshine is. A huge amount of money

0:12:550:12:58

being spent over the next three

days.

. A billion over four states.

0:12:580:13:06

That is a projected figure. Up 7% on

last year. One of the problems with

0:13:060:13:14

Black Friday is that retailers make

offers that they make cheap in the

0:13:140:13:19

hope of bringing people in in the

hope of people spending more than

0:13:190:13:24

they want are cleverer than that,

they bring their purchases forward

0:13:240:13:28

to that day day and spend less and

the days that follow. You have seen

0:13:280:13:32

some retailers sceptical about it.

You need to look at the whole

0:13:320:13:36

Christmas run-up before you decide

whether consumers are buoyant not.

0:13:360:13:41

Won got pretty violent, previous

Black Fridays, but a lot of the

0:13:410:13:44

shopping has been done online, so I

hope a lot of the fighting has been

0:13:440:13:49

fewer.

I have not seen pictures of

people falling on top of widescreen

0:13:490:13:55

TVs, maybe they will, over the

weekend. But I did not spend

0:13:550:13:58

anything.

Did you indulge?

I did not

spend anything.

On principle I

0:13:580:14:05

won't. What about you?

I bought a

sandwich!

Was it discounted?

0:14:050:14:10

Unfortunately not. I can see that it

has become an event. If you see

0:14:100:14:17

brands getting their message out on

Facebook, Twitter and so forth, then

0:14:170:14:20

you are nudged to go out and say I

do need to get that Christmas

0:14:200:14:23

present or why not do it in loads of

time? Unfortunately, like Halloween,

0:14:230:14:30

it is embedding itself in the

calendar.

Americanisation of our

0:14:300:14:37

high street.

Some schools where I

live had a day-to-day, nothing to do

0:14:370:14:44

with the teachers wanting time! Just

a coincidence. Let's finish with the

0:14:440:14:51

Telegraph one in five women went

over the aim mother. -- whatever be

0:14:510:15:05

a mother.

It talks about work fishes

leather, the cost of child rearing

0:15:050:15:15

and the pleasure of a child

Lascelles. Which is

0:15:150:15:26

it talks about a generation that is

aspirational. Which perhaps would

0:15:310:15:37

not have been the case in days gone

by. But as we know, that is just not

0:15:370:15:42

prosecute. Wages are stagnating.

0:15:420:15:48

They talk about these perpetual

postponing...

Whether this is a

0:15:510:16:03

choice, it or they can't afford

them? As a consequence will we have

0:16:030:16:11

a declining birth rate?

My

instinctive reaction is to slightly

0:16:110:16:19

recoil, because we do see a lot of

headlines that are basically playing

0:16:190:16:23

on women's anxiety and guilt. I feel

this is one of them. It would be

0:16:230:16:26

nice to talk about men who

biologically can have children

0:16:260:16:34

later, but RNA 50s and 60s and

chosen not to. I think the ONS words

0:16:340:16:39

about post-honing decisions... I

would like to see if they have done

0:16:390:16:45

the research and interviews rather

than just looked at figures. A

0:16:450:16:49

generation ago it was very

different.

It is also designated 45

0:16:490:16:56

as the cut-off age for having

children which I would like to know

0:16:560:16:59

how they had landed on that one?

Cherie Blair had won at 45.

It was

0:16:590:17:09

not her first, that is the

difference I suppose, how long you

0:17:090:17:12

wait to have your first?

0:17:120:17:14

That's it for The Papers tonight.

0:17:140:17:15

Don't forget you can see the front

pages of the papers online

0:17:150:17:18
