Coming up in a moment, The Papers. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:00 | |
That's all from us, good night. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:01 | |
Welcome to our look ahead to what
the papers will bring in the | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
morning. Steve Hawkes is the Deputy
political editor at the some | 0:00:20 | 0:00:28 | |
newspaper. Welcome both of you. We
will start with the FT, which leaves | 0:00:28 | 0:00:35 | |
newspaper. Welcome both of you. We
will start with the FT, which leaves | 0:00:35 | 0:00:36 | |
with the resignation of savvy are
rarely as the chief executive of the | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
London stock exchange after eight
years in the post. The Daily Express | 0:00:39 | 0:00:44 | |
details a new treatment designed by
scientists which the paper claims | 0:00:44 | 0:00:49 | |
could cure lower back pain for
millions of people. EU leaders will | 0:00:49 | 0:00:54 | |
offer a two-year Brexit transition
deal in January after a breakthrough | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
in talks over the Northern Ireland
border issue. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
Trees May could face a revolt from
some Tory Eurosceptics if the UK | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
pays the report and £50 billion
divorce bill, according to the | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
Guardian. -- Theresa May. Donald
Trump smack a state visit to the UK | 0:01:11 | 0:01:16 | |
could be in doubt after the
president retweeted those videos | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
posted by the far right group
Britain First. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:24 | |
The legal team for Michael Stone,
convicted of murdering a mother and | 0:01:24 | 0:01:28 | |
daughter in Kent in 1996, claim
another man, Levi Belfield, has made | 0:01:28 | 0:01:34 | |
a confession to the murders while
imprisoned. He has since denied that | 0:01:34 | 0:01:39 | |
claim. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:40 | |
Let's start with the FT. The
coverage of what Donald Trump has | 0:01:43 | 0:01:49 | |
been retweeting. Donald Trump ended
up retweeting some incredibly | 0:01:49 | 0:01:55 | |
offensive videos. But also
retweeting them from an account | 0:01:55 | 0:02:03 | |
which belongs to Britain First. It
is the deputy leader of that | 0:02:03 | 0:02:10 | |
organisation who was actually jailed
recently because... Accused, I | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
should say, I don't know if he was
imprisoned, but accused of hurling | 0:02:15 | 0:02:18 | |
abuse at a woman in a hijab in
Luton. It's nasty. It's a group that | 0:02:18 | 0:02:25 | |
has no standing in British society.
Donald Trump goes and retweets these | 0:02:25 | 0:02:32 | |
horrible videos. It has attracted
quite a strong response from Downing | 0:02:32 | 0:02:39 | |
Street where Theresa May has said
that it is wrong for the president | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
to have done this. We have seen a
few other cabinet members in the | 0:02:43 | 0:02:48 | |
last couple of hours tweeting strong
condemnation, as well. Clearly a lot | 0:02:48 | 0:02:56 | |
of people, they are extremely
unhappy about it, but it's | 0:02:56 | 0:03:00 | |
interesting now to see where Cabinet
here is beginning to out about it. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
In all of the papers tomorrow you
have the line from Downing Street | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
which is quite strong, it says it's
wrong for the president to have done | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
this. Donald Trump is important to
Britain in the post-Brexit world. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
It'll be interesting to see tomorrow
what Theresa May does. She has a | 0:03:16 | 0:03:21 | |
press conference in Jordan. I wonder
if she will address it... She will | 0:03:21 | 0:03:26 | |
be asked... Definitely. We've been
waiting all week for Donald Trump to | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
comment on Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle, but he endorses a hate | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
fuelled group. The things they say
are abhorrent. But why is he doing | 0:03:36 | 0:03:48 | |
this? He doesn't care about the
collateral damage here. In America | 0:03:48 | 0:03:52 | |
there is a close election in Alabama
at the moment. The Republicans are | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
fighting with the Democrats. He has
an issue of wanting to stop children | 0:03:56 | 0:04:01 | |
immigrants from getting a deal to
stay in America. You wonder if he's | 0:04:01 | 0:04:05 | |
playing to his base again. The
collateral damage it causes around | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
the world are so severe for his
domestic problems. He's the leader | 0:04:08 | 0:04:13 | |
of the free world. We want him to do
a with North Korea to stop nuclear | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
war. Instead of that he's doing
this. We can show Sajid Javid's | 0:04:18 | 0:04:27 | |
tweet. That struck you breath when
you saw it in the office. -- struck | 0:04:27 | 0:04:33 | |
you both. Yes. He said I refused to
let it go and say nothing. Contrast | 0:04:33 | 0:04:41 | |
that with the reaction of the people
around Donald Trump at the White | 0:04:41 | 0:04:48 | |
House. When it was mentioned, and
this is the FT story, that when this | 0:04:48 | 0:04:53 | |
question was raised Sarah Huckabee
Sanders, Donald Trump smack a | 0:04:53 | 0:04:58 | |
spokesperson said whether it is a
real video the threat is real. His | 0:04:58 | 0:05:04 | |
job is to promote strong border
security and strong national | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
security. What a pity you cannot do
that without posting these videos | 0:05:06 | 0:05:12 | |
and without promoting hatred. That
will play to his supporters. That's | 0:05:12 | 0:05:18 | |
it. You've had Boris Johnson
tweeting about this in our ago, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:24 | |
Sajid Javid, a strong tweet from him
ten minutes ago. Hold that thought. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:32 | |
That is where The i takes us. Is it
feasible that that state might not | 0:05:32 | 0:05:43 | |
happen? He has been controversial
for a while. Emmanuel Macron put out | 0:05:43 | 0:05:48 | |
all of the red-carpet treatment for
him in Paris. There was a military | 0:05:48 | 0:05:51 | |
fly past. It was incredible. And
he's meant to be a centrist leader. | 0:05:51 | 0:05:58 | |
It could still be done. I don't see
how Donald Trump could possibly come | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
in the next few months without there
being mass demonstrations in the | 0:06:01 | 0:06:06 | |
street, which he will want to avoid.
That would require the British | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
Government to say we don't want you
to come. Which puts them in a tricky | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
position. This is one of our
strongest allies. We are meant to | 0:06:14 | 0:06:20 | |
find a way of working together for
the good of the world. And here is | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
this person who just constantly
jeopardises those relationships. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:30 | |
It's really frustrating for a lot of
people to see that he hasn't moved | 0:06:30 | 0:06:34 | |
away from his campaigning mode. It's
just got worse, it seems, in the way | 0:06:34 | 0:06:39 | |
he has behaved in office. Let's move
on to Brexit matters. Take us to the | 0:06:39 | 0:06:47 | |
front of the times. Various aspects
of this story to have a look at. The | 0:06:47 | 0:06:53 | |
Times is going be on what they say
is an Irish border deal in the | 0:06:53 | 0:06:57 | |
offing. How close do we think, based
on what they are writing? We've been | 0:06:57 | 0:07:04 | |
hearing for a while something was
about to move. It is high time it | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
did. We heard the story about us,
the UK side, being prepared to offer | 0:07:08 | 0:07:14 | |
a bit more money. And we had heard
for a long time that wants more | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
money was put on the table these are
the two issues, the Irish board or | 0:07:17 | 0:07:22 | |
the Citizens right issue, which were
meant to be the sticking points, | 0:07:22 | 0:07:26 | |
would find a way of being resolved.
The Irish border, if you ask me, was | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
always going to be one of the
difficult issues. Because of all the | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
sensitivities involved in the Irish
political system. What the border | 0:07:35 | 0:07:38 | |
was going to look like, etc. This
story is now quoting several sources | 0:07:38 | 0:07:47 | |
to say that it is very likely there
is going to be a transition deal by | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
January, after which we can move on
to talking about future trade. It | 0:07:51 | 0:07:56 | |
does seem like whatever was
discussed about the bill being a bit | 0:07:56 | 0:08:03 | |
more money on the table might have
worked wonders, and might have moved | 0:08:03 | 0:08:06 | |
things forward a little bit. The
about to happen between Theresa May | 0:08:06 | 0:08:14 | |
and Jean-Claude Juncker. How does
this look to you, based on what the | 0:08:14 | 0:08:22 | |
Times has said? It's a big
breakthrough. You have British | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
business saying we need a transition
deal by January. That is so people | 0:08:26 | 0:08:31 | |
can start moving production and
staff overseas. This is huge. The | 0:08:31 | 0:08:35 | |
Irish peace of the jigsaw has three
issues. Ireland is the most | 0:08:35 | 0:08:40 | |
controversial. In the 20 minutes
since we have seen this the DUP | 0:08:40 | 0:08:46 | |
don't sound worried, but the key bit
is what do you do with the North and | 0:08:46 | 0:08:51 | |
the Republic. It is complicated. But
does the North stay with the UK | 0:08:51 | 0:08:56 | |
instead, while there are talks about
having a republic in the EU. The | 0:08:56 | 0:09:01 | |
North this joint of Republic, how
does it stay in the UK and not be | 0:09:01 | 0:09:05 | |
part of the EU? This would involve
the Government involving a package | 0:09:05 | 0:09:11 | |
of powers to Northern Ireland to
enable Customs convergence with the | 0:09:11 | 0:09:15 | |
Irish Republic on areas such as
agriculture. And there are energy | 0:09:15 | 0:09:21 | |
plans which will be laid out.
Critically the DUP are going to be | 0:09:21 | 0:09:26 | |
OK with this. We can all move
forward. Then we have a transition | 0:09:26 | 0:09:30 | |
period which is critical to
business. It allows everybody to | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
talk about trade. You cannot
underestimate the importance of | 0:09:35 | 0:09:38 | |
this. And there's no executive in
Northern Ireland which further | 0:09:38 | 0:09:42 | |
complicates things. It certainly
does. The outlines of a standstill | 0:09:42 | 0:09:47 | |
transition arrangement effectively
prolong the EU membership are ready | 0:09:47 | 0:09:51 | |
to be tabled it says on this story.
That will still raise concerns about | 0:09:51 | 0:09:56 | |
how we are going to be moving
forward during that transition | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
period. That's what businesses have
always wanted to know. If you have a | 0:10:00 | 0:10:05 | |
standstill transition arrangement
you will only be moving the cliff | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
edge further ahead at some point.
You aren't going to avoid it. There | 0:10:08 | 0:10:13 | |
must be some sort of way to move
things forward while staying exactly | 0:10:13 | 0:10:18 | |
the same.
CHUCKLES | 0:10:18 | 0:10:19 | |
That means Britain stays in force to
reckon more years. That has been a | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
rumour for a while. We will come
onto this. You have had the | 0:10:23 | 0:10:28 | |
pro-Europeans, the ones who
campaigned for Remained being upset, | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
but that's beginning to switch to
the people who wanted to say, we can | 0:10:32 | 0:10:36 | |
walk away and we will be fine. Take
us to the Guardian. A seamless | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
transition... The idea now that we
are going to pay 40 billion, this is | 0:10:41 | 0:10:47 | |
how much we will give you. Already
there was a big debate where you had | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
the hard Brexiteers, the people who
were up for leaving saying why do we | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
have to pay anything? This isn't a
divorce bill we are leaving a club, | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
you don't have to pay money if you
leave the club. We can walk away. We | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
don't need Obama to get a deal.
These are people in the Labour Party | 0:11:03 | 0:11:12 | |
agree with people than the
Conservatives. The population out | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
there, the readers and viewers,
where have we found this £40 billion | 0:11:15 | 0:11:19 | |
to give to Brussels to help secure a
trade deal where we have people | 0:11:19 | 0:11:23 | |
starving, the NHS going into a
winter crisis, why should we pay | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
this? They might now block a deal.
How likely is that, do you think? | 0:11:26 | 0:11:35 | |
Some of the big beast like Michael
Gove and Boris Johnson, who had been | 0:11:35 | 0:11:41 | |
the main opposition in the Cabinet
to the remainders, it looks like | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
they are coming on board. -- to the
Remainers. We haven't got the figure | 0:11:44 | 0:12:00 | |
but it will be paid over a number of
years. It shouldn't come as a | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
massive shock to our finances. And
we are told each year it will | 0:12:04 | 0:12:09 | |
gradually go down. That's the idea.
Provided the Government has prepared | 0:12:09 | 0:12:12 | |
for it it shouldn't come as a shock
but we should be prepared. Also it | 0:12:12 | 0:12:18 | |
is what the Government spends in a
week. That puts it into context. It | 0:12:18 | 0:12:23 | |
does. What do they spend it on?
Exactly. What is the offshoot? | 0:12:23 | 0:12:31 | |
Exactly. Iain Duncan Smith said this
is the song, but in the long run we | 0:12:31 | 0:12:36 | |
will save vast amounts by no longer
paying into it. -- this is the sum. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:42 | |
Yvette Cooper was saying remember
that thing on the bus, 350 million, | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
you told us we would save that, now
you are telling us we have to pay 50 | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
billion. People are still rerunning
the same arguments. We're in a much | 0:12:52 | 0:12:58 | |
better place than we were last week,
which is something to celebrate. A | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
final word about the weather, which
takes us to the Daily Express. A | 0:13:02 | 0:13:07 | |
photograph from County Durham where
conditions for driving were | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
difficult yesterday as that
photograph would illustrate. It's | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
going to be called. It is cold.
Let's hope we have a white Christmas | 0:13:13 | 0:13:21 | |
because it will put a smile on
everybody's face after all of this | 0:13:21 | 0:13:25 | |
happening in the world. Are you
worried about cold weather? Yes, I | 0:13:25 | 0:13:30 | |
am always cold. But it does look
beautiful. It will allow us to | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
celebrate the great British
infrastructure of our trains which | 0:13:34 | 0:13:38 | |
will run without problem.
CHUCKLES | 0:13:38 | 0:13:40 | |
On that note, thank you both. You
