0:00:00 > 0:00:00Coming up in a moment, The Papers.

0:00:00 > 0:00:01That's all from us, good night.

0:00:18 > 0:00:20Welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will bring in the

0:00:20 > 0:00:28morning. Steve Hawkes is the Deputy political editor at the some

0:00:28 > 0:00:35newspaper. Welcome both of you. We will start with the FT, which leaves

0:00:35 > 0:00:36newspaper. Welcome both of you. We will start with the FT, which leaves

0:00:36 > 0:00:39with the resignation of savvy are rarely as the chief executive of the

0:00:39 > 0:00:44London stock exchange after eight years in the post. The Daily Express

0:00:44 > 0:00:49details a new treatment designed by scientists which the paper claims

0:00:49 > 0:00:54could cure lower back pain for millions of people. EU leaders will

0:00:54 > 0:00:57offer a two-year Brexit transition deal in January after a breakthrough

0:00:57 > 0:01:02in talks over the Northern Ireland border issue.

0:01:02 > 0:01:07Trees May could face a revolt from some Tory Eurosceptics if the UK

0:01:07 > 0:01:11pays the report and £50 billion divorce bill, according to the

0:01:11 > 0:01:16Guardian. -- Theresa May. Donald Trump smack a state visit to the UK

0:01:16 > 0:01:18could be in doubt after the president retweeted those videos

0:01:18 > 0:01:24posted by the far right group Britain First.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28The legal team for Michael Stone, convicted of murdering a mother and

0:01:28 > 0:01:34daughter in Kent in 1996, claim another man, Levi Belfield, has made

0:01:34 > 0:01:39a confession to the murders while imprisoned. He has since denied that

0:01:39 > 0:01:40claim.

0:01:43 > 0:01:49Let's start with the FT. The coverage of what Donald Trump has

0:01:49 > 0:01:55been retweeting.Donald Trump ended up retweeting some incredibly

0:01:55 > 0:02:03offensive videos. But also retweeting them from an account

0:02:03 > 0:02:10which belongs to Britain First. It is the deputy leader of that

0:02:10 > 0:02:15organisation who was actually jailed recently because... Accused, I

0:02:15 > 0:02:18should say, I don't know if he was imprisoned, but accused of hurling

0:02:18 > 0:02:25abuse at a woman in a hijab in Luton. It's nasty. It's a group that

0:02:25 > 0:02:32has no standing in British society. Donald Trump goes and retweets these

0:02:32 > 0:02:39horrible videos. It has attracted quite a strong response from Downing

0:02:39 > 0:02:43Street where Theresa May has said that it is wrong for the president

0:02:43 > 0:02:48to have done this. We have seen a few other cabinet members in the

0:02:48 > 0:02:56last couple of hours tweeting strong condemnation, as well.Clearly a lot

0:02:56 > 0:03:00of people, they are extremely unhappy about it, but it's

0:03:00 > 0:03:05interesting now to see where Cabinet here is beginning to out about it.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09In all of the papers tomorrow you have the line from Downing Street

0:03:09 > 0:03:13which is quite strong, it says it's wrong for the president to have done

0:03:13 > 0:03:16this. Donald Trump is important to Britain in the post-Brexit world.

0:03:16 > 0:03:21It'll be interesting to see tomorrow what Theresa May does. She has a

0:03:21 > 0:03:26press conference in Jordan. I wonder if she will address it...She will

0:03:26 > 0:03:31be asked...Definitely. We've been waiting all week for Donald Trump to

0:03:31 > 0:03:36comment on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but he endorses a hate

0:03:36 > 0:03:48fuelled group. The things they say are abhorrent. But why is he doing

0:03:48 > 0:03:52this? He doesn't care about the collateral damage here. In America

0:03:52 > 0:03:56there is a close election in Alabama at the moment. The Republicans are

0:03:56 > 0:04:01fighting with the Democrats. He has an issue of wanting to stop children

0:04:01 > 0:04:05immigrants from getting a deal to stay in America. You wonder if he's

0:04:05 > 0:04:08playing to his base again. The collateral damage it causes around

0:04:08 > 0:04:13the world are so severe for his domestic problems. He's the leader

0:04:13 > 0:04:18of the free world. We want him to do a with North Korea to stop nuclear

0:04:18 > 0:04:27war. Instead of that he's doing this.We can show Sajid Javid's

0:04:27 > 0:04:33tweet. That struck you breath when you saw it in the office. -- struck

0:04:33 > 0:04:41you both.Yes. He said I refused to let it go and say nothing. Contrast

0:04:41 > 0:04:48that with the reaction of the people around Donald Trump at the White

0:04:48 > 0:04:53House. When it was mentioned, and this is the FT story, that when this

0:04:53 > 0:04:58question was raised Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Donald Trump smack a

0:04:58 > 0:05:04spokesperson said whether it is a real video the threat is real. His

0:05:04 > 0:05:06job is to promote strong border security and strong national

0:05:06 > 0:05:12security. What a pity you cannot do that without posting these videos

0:05:12 > 0:05:18and without promoting hatred.That will play to his supporters.That's

0:05:18 > 0:05:24it. You've had Boris Johnson tweeting about this in our ago,

0:05:24 > 0:05:32Sajid Javid, a strong tweet from him ten minutes ago.Hold that thought.

0:05:32 > 0:05:43That is where The i takes us. Is it feasible that that state might not

0:05:43 > 0:05:48happen?He has been controversial for a while. Emmanuel Macron put out

0:05:48 > 0:05:51all of the red-carpet treatment for him in Paris. There was a military

0:05:51 > 0:05:58fly past. It was incredible. And he's meant to be a centrist leader.

0:05:58 > 0:06:01It could still be done. I don't see how Donald Trump could possibly come

0:06:01 > 0:06:06in the next few months without there being mass demonstrations in the

0:06:06 > 0:06:10street, which he will want to avoid. That would require the British

0:06:10 > 0:06:14Government to say we don't want you to come.Which puts them in a tricky

0:06:14 > 0:06:20position. This is one of our strongest allies. We are meant to

0:06:20 > 0:06:25find a way of working together for the good of the world. And here is

0:06:25 > 0:06:30this person who just constantly jeopardises those relationships.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34It's really frustrating for a lot of people to see that he hasn't moved

0:06:34 > 0:06:39away from his campaigning mode. It's just got worse, it seems, in the way

0:06:39 > 0:06:47he has behaved in office.Let's move on to Brexit matters. Take us to the

0:06:47 > 0:06:53front of the times. Various aspects of this story to have a look at. The

0:06:53 > 0:06:57Times is going be on what they say is an Irish border deal in the

0:06:57 > 0:07:04offing. How close do we think, based on what they are writing?We've been

0:07:04 > 0:07:08hearing for a while something was about to move. It is high time it

0:07:08 > 0:07:14did. We heard the story about us, the UK side, being prepared to offer

0:07:14 > 0:07:17a bit more money. And we had heard for a long time that wants more

0:07:17 > 0:07:22money was put on the table these are the two issues, the Irish board or

0:07:22 > 0:07:26the Citizens right issue, which were meant to be the sticking points,

0:07:26 > 0:07:31would find a way of being resolved. The Irish border, if you ask me, was

0:07:31 > 0:07:35always going to be one of the difficult issues. Because of all the

0:07:35 > 0:07:38sensitivities involved in the Irish political system. What the border

0:07:38 > 0:07:47was going to look like, etc. This story is now quoting several sources

0:07:47 > 0:07:51to say that it is very likely there is going to be a transition deal by

0:07:51 > 0:07:56January, after which we can move on to talking about future trade. It

0:07:56 > 0:08:03does seem like whatever was discussed about the bill being a bit

0:08:03 > 0:08:06more money on the table might have worked wonders, and might have moved

0:08:06 > 0:08:14things forward a little bit. The about to happen between Theresa May

0:08:14 > 0:08:22and Jean-Claude Juncker.How does this look to you, based on what the

0:08:22 > 0:08:26Times has said?It's a big breakthrough. You have British

0:08:26 > 0:08:31business saying we need a transition deal by January. That is so people

0:08:31 > 0:08:35can start moving production and staff overseas. This is huge. The

0:08:35 > 0:08:40Irish peace of the jigsaw has three issues. Ireland is the most

0:08:40 > 0:08:46controversial. In the 20 minutes since we have seen this the DUP

0:08:46 > 0:08:51don't sound worried, but the key bit is what do you do with the North and

0:08:51 > 0:08:56the Republic. It is complicated. But does the North stay with the UK

0:08:56 > 0:09:01instead, while there are talks about having a republic in the EU. The

0:09:01 > 0:09:05North this joint of Republic, how does it stay in the UK and not be

0:09:05 > 0:09:11part of the EU?This would involve the Government involving a package

0:09:11 > 0:09:15of powers to Northern Ireland to enable Customs convergence with the

0:09:15 > 0:09:21Irish Republic on areas such as agriculture.And there are energy

0:09:21 > 0:09:26plans which will be laid out. Critically the DUP are going to be

0:09:26 > 0:09:30OK with this. We can all move forward. Then we have a transition

0:09:30 > 0:09:35period which is critical to business. It allows everybody to

0:09:35 > 0:09:38talk about trade. You cannot underestimate the importance of

0:09:38 > 0:09:42this.And there's no executive in Northern Ireland which further

0:09:42 > 0:09:47complicates things.It certainly does. The outlines of a standstill

0:09:47 > 0:09:51transition arrangement effectively prolong the EU membership are ready

0:09:51 > 0:09:56to be tabled it says on this story. That will still raise concerns about

0:09:56 > 0:10:00how we are going to be moving forward during that transition

0:10:00 > 0:10:05period. That's what businesses have always wanted to know. If you have a

0:10:05 > 0:10:08standstill transition arrangement you will only be moving the cliff

0:10:08 > 0:10:13edge further ahead at some point. You aren't going to avoid it. There

0:10:13 > 0:10:18must be some sort of way to move things forward while staying exactly

0:10:18 > 0:10:19the same. CHUCKLES

0:10:19 > 0:10:23That means Britain stays in force to reckon more years.That has been a

0:10:23 > 0:10:28rumour for a while.We will come onto this. You have had the

0:10:28 > 0:10:32pro-Europeans, the ones who campaigned for Remained being upset,

0:10:32 > 0:10:36but that's beginning to switch to the people who wanted to say, we can

0:10:36 > 0:10:41walk away and we will be fine.Take us to the Guardian.A seamless

0:10:41 > 0:10:47transition... The idea now that we are going to pay 40 billion, this is

0:10:47 > 0:10:51how much we will give you. Already there was a big debate where you had

0:10:51 > 0:10:55the hard Brexiteers, the people who were up for leaving saying why do we

0:10:55 > 0:10:59have to pay anything? This isn't a divorce bill we are leaving a club,

0:10:59 > 0:11:03you don't have to pay money if you leave the club. We can walk away. We

0:11:03 > 0:11:12don't need Obama to get a deal. These are people in the Labour Party

0:11:12 > 0:11:15agree with people than the Conservatives. The population out

0:11:15 > 0:11:19there, the readers and viewers, where have we found this £40 billion

0:11:19 > 0:11:23to give to Brussels to help secure a trade deal where we have people

0:11:23 > 0:11:26starving, the NHS going into a winter crisis, why should we pay

0:11:26 > 0:11:35this? They might now block a deal. How likely is that, do you think?

0:11:35 > 0:11:41Some of the big beast like Michael Gove and Boris Johnson, who had been

0:11:41 > 0:11:44the main opposition in the Cabinet to the remainders, it looks like

0:11:44 > 0:12:00they are coming on board. -- to the Remainers. We haven't got the figure

0:12:00 > 0:12:04but it will be paid over a number of years. It shouldn't come as a

0:12:04 > 0:12:09massive shock to our finances.And we are told each year it will

0:12:09 > 0:12:12gradually go down.That's the idea. Provided the Government has prepared

0:12:12 > 0:12:18for it it shouldn't come as a shock but we should be prepared.Also it

0:12:18 > 0:12:23is what the Government spends in a week. That puts it into context.It

0:12:23 > 0:12:31does. What do they spend it on? Exactly. What is the offshoot?

0:12:31 > 0:12:36Exactly. Iain Duncan Smith said this is the song, but in the long run we

0:12:36 > 0:12:42will save vast amounts by no longer paying into it. -- this is the sum.

0:12:42 > 0:12:47Yvette Cooper was saying remember that thing on the bus, 350 million,

0:12:47 > 0:12:52you told us we would save that, now you are telling us we have to pay 50

0:12:52 > 0:12:58billion. People are still rerunning the same arguments. We're in a much

0:12:58 > 0:13:02better place than we were last week, which is something to celebrate.A

0:13:02 > 0:13:07final word about the weather, which takes us to the Daily Express. A

0:13:07 > 0:13:10photograph from County Durham where conditions for driving were

0:13:10 > 0:13:13difficult yesterday as that photograph would illustrate. It's

0:13:13 > 0:13:21going to be called.It is cold. Let's hope we have a white Christmas

0:13:21 > 0:13:25because it will put a smile on everybody's face after all of this

0:13:25 > 0:13:30happening in the world.Are you worried about cold weather?Yes, I

0:13:30 > 0:13:34am always cold. But it does look beautiful.It will allow us to

0:13:34 > 0:13:38celebrate the great British infrastructure of our trains which

0:13:38 > 0:13:40will run without problem. CHUCKLES
