0:00:18 > 0:00:21Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
0:00:21 > 0:00:22bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24With me are John Rentoul, Chief Political Commentator
0:00:24 > 0:00:31at The Independent, and political strategist Jo Tanner.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34She does appear on other paper reviews but we won't mention them.
0:00:34 > 0:00:40Welcome to this one. And now to the front pages.
0:00:40 > 0:00:42The Metro claims that the special relationship between the US
0:00:42 > 0:00:45and the UK looks to be in jeopardy following the row over Donald
0:00:45 > 0:00:51Trump's anti-muslim twitter posts.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54The FT says the Labour Leader, Jeremy Corbyn has warned banks
0:00:54 > 0:00:57operating in the City of London, that he would be a threat
0:00:57 > 0:00:59to their business if he became Prime Minister.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01The Express leads on the medical research which suggests that eating
0:01:01 > 0:01:04cheese could slash the risk of heart disease.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07The I says British and American diplomats are trying
0:01:07 > 0:01:10to repair the damage caused by the public falling out between
0:01:10 > 0:01:15Donald Trump and Theresa May.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The Mirror reports on the calls to prosecute the US president
0:01:18 > 0:01:20for race hate over his tweets.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24The paper says the best response would be to cancel his state visit.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26The Times reports that Far-right group Britain First
0:01:26 > 0:01:28has been boasting of an increase in support after Donald Trump
0:01:28 > 0:01:37re-tweeted the group's anti-muslim videos.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39The Guardian covers the research which has found that
0:01:39 > 0:01:42children as young as two are being streamed on ability.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45And The Sun leads on two of the army's 'hero hounds'
0:01:45 > 0:01:47which are facing being put down because officials say
0:01:47 > 0:01:51they can't be rehomed.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54There is a lot of Donald Trump in this review. As you might have
0:01:54 > 0:01:59guessed. We start with The Daily Mirror, not wanted, it says, with
0:01:59 > 0:02:07the mock up of a Western poster. Calls to cancel the state visit, but
0:02:07 > 0:02:12that won't happen?This is the visit that was presented to Donald Trump
0:02:12 > 0:02:17when Theresa May went on her visit to meet him but I'm not sure we
0:02:17 > 0:02:22really ever thought this visit was going to happen anyway. It has been
0:02:22 > 0:02:26put off and put off and not spoken about and we have deliberately not
0:02:26 > 0:02:29wanted to organise a date, like having one of those relatives you
0:02:29 > 0:02:34don't want to come to stay annual really busy. -- and you're really
0:02:34 > 0:02:42busy.That's not autobiographical, of course.Of course not! There is
0:02:42 > 0:02:46now a clamour to say that he shouldn't be coming but actually I
0:02:46 > 0:02:50think there has been an effort to dampen down the conversation about
0:02:50 > 0:02:56it even happening at all.There was the suggestion that there was
0:02:56 > 0:02:59indecent haste offering the state visit in the first place, not
0:02:59 > 0:03:01letting him bed in and finding out what kind of presidency it was going
0:03:01 > 0:03:08to be.It was one of those decisions of Theresa May's that has come back
0:03:08 > 0:03:12to bite her, but you could see her reasoning. You want to get in there
0:03:12 > 0:03:17early and impress the new president and you want to improve relations
0:03:17 > 0:03:19between Britain and America especially because a Brexit, we are
0:03:19 > 0:03:26going to need a trade deal with America. It has backfired rather
0:03:26 > 0:03:31spectacularly, and it is not as simple as The Daily Mirror implies,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34to on invite him, because the Queen has invited him as the head of
0:03:34 > 0:03:41state. He has accepted and therefore it is quite awkward for the
0:03:41 > 0:03:46government to get the Queen to disinvite him, that would not go
0:03:46 > 0:03:54down well.It is head of state to head of state, isn't it?Yes, so the
0:03:54 > 0:03:59ideal solution is to keep putting off the actual date. I don't think
0:03:59 > 0:04:03Donald Trump wants to come.There are suggestions that he was
0:04:03 > 0:04:11concerned there could be protests, and if there weren't the>> STUDIO:
0:04:11 > 0:04:19-- there weren't going to be then, there certainly are now.What about
0:04:19 > 0:04:25race crime?I don't quite know how that works, but no doubt that will
0:04:25 > 0:04:29be explained on further pages of The Daily Mirror.In America, the right
0:04:29 > 0:04:42to free speech, constitutional.Yes. Let's look at the i Paper comedy
0:04:42 > 0:04:52special in tatters, this is a bit overwritten? -- i Paper, the special
0:04:52 > 0:04:58relationship in tatters.Anything which mentions the special
0:04:58 > 0:05:02relationship is overwritten, and we don't have an especially good
0:05:02 > 0:05:06relationship with Donald Trump. He likes Britain, his mother was
0:05:06 > 0:05:13Scottish.He has a golf course.But it is more than that. The
0:05:13 > 0:05:18relationship between this country and America will withstand this.I
0:05:18 > 0:05:26hope so, yes.This isn't the first argument, there are historical
0:05:26 > 0:05:31items, difficulties between Thatcher and Reagan is never got over them,
0:05:31 > 0:05:37and issues between Tony Blair and Bill Clinton over Gerry Adams.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40Babies that was granted to him before the peace process, I think
0:05:40 > 0:05:48for the -- a viz that was granted to him. There have been issues before.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51This will be at the back of the minds of politicians, the trade
0:05:51 > 0:05:58deal, although they have got to speak out about things like these,
0:05:58 > 0:06:02the anti-Muslim videos, but they will be thinking after Brexit, we
0:06:02 > 0:06:05have said our relationship with America is going to be brilliant
0:06:05 > 0:06:13portable and they are going to give us a great trade deal. -- brilliant
0:06:13 > 0:06:20and they are going to give us.Well, are they? Donald Trump's whole thing
0:06:20 > 0:06:24was protectionist and America first, we were going to get much from him
0:06:24 > 0:06:27anyway, but you want to maintain the relationship at the official level
0:06:27 > 0:06:33-- we weren't. These things take a long time to negotiate a maybe
0:06:33 > 0:06:38Donald Trump won't be there for very long.The Daily Telegraph also has
0:06:38 > 0:06:42the Kop story, he will not visit the UK in the foreseeable future -- the
0:06:42 > 0:06:49Trump story. He was going to come here quite soon?The idea is that
0:06:49 > 0:06:55after the initial visit offer had been made and it was accepted, there
0:06:55 > 0:06:59was the suggestion it would be this year and then it got, the narrative
0:06:59 > 0:07:02would be it would be around the new US embassy opening and that would be
0:07:02 > 0:07:10the reason, some flagship event, but I don't know, maybe that will...
0:07:10 > 0:07:14Maybe they have got to polish the floor a bit more, maybe some
0:07:14 > 0:07:19gardening that needs to be done. Maybe until our memories forget this
0:07:19 > 0:07:25latest episode.Exactly. Theresa May was in a bind, she had to say
0:07:25 > 0:07:32something about what he had put out on Twitter.She did, she was pretty
0:07:32 > 0:07:36forceful about it, saying it was completely wrong. She wants to
0:07:36 > 0:07:39condemn it without drawing too much attention to this awful group and
0:07:39 > 0:07:46giving them the oxygen and publicity. She was as robust as she
0:07:46 > 0:07:52could be.The language was very specific, it was wrong of him, and
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Amber Rudd also repeated that in the House of Commons, very specific
0:07:55 > 0:08:00language. It wasn't that Donald Trump was wrong, it was wrong to
0:08:00 > 0:08:06have tweeted that, it was very careful language. When the number
0:08:06 > 0:08:11ten official spokesperson mentioned and answered this question, very
0:08:11 > 0:08:16soon afterwards it was reiterated that they were speaking on behalf of
0:08:16 > 0:08:19the Prime Minister which is unusual, they don't always do that, but it
0:08:19 > 0:08:25was made very clear that she was very firm about her condemnation.
0:08:25 > 0:08:29The Ambassador of the United States has made representations to the
0:08:29 > 0:08:32White House, but the idea that Donald Trump did this without
0:08:32 > 0:08:38thinking about the consequences, do you buy that?Well, does he think
0:08:38 > 0:08:44about consequences? He knows how this will play with his supporters
0:08:44 > 0:08:53in the states. This is just the way he operates. He is like a teenager.
0:08:53 > 0:09:01There's something interesting, when trees away>> STUDIO: --Theresa May
0:09:01 > 0:09:09was in the Middle East, that was when another Donald Trump episode
0:09:09 > 0:09:16came out, and now again, almost as if he has seen her diary.And out to
0:09:16 > 0:09:22The Guardian, we have some pretty pictures, which is great. Winter
0:09:22 > 0:09:28arrives with a flurry, lovely picture.Whitby, North Yorkshire.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33Looks absolutely beautiful. Extremely cold even in London
0:09:33 > 0:09:40tonight.We normally get away with it a bit.Outside here it was
0:09:40 > 0:09:45amazingly cold.I want that at Christmas, I have a nine-year old
0:09:45 > 0:09:48and I'm desperate for a white Christmas, the magical thing that
0:09:48 > 0:09:54you grow up with, getting a white Christmas, it is so rare.I don't
0:09:54 > 0:09:58remember getting many when I was growing up, even further north than
0:09:58 > 0:10:04this. It is beautiful, but not always easy to navigate. We talk
0:10:04 > 0:10:11about it down here. It is easy for us down in London, to get a
0:10:11 > 0:10:13smattering of snow everything it is the end of the world, but other
0:10:13 > 0:10:19parts of the country, up in high land, Scotland, the peaks, Northern
0:10:19 > 0:10:24Ireland...I was on holiday last year, the people said they lived
0:10:24 > 0:10:29much further north in northern parts of Canada, and their idea of cold
0:10:29 > 0:10:33was the kind of stuff which I thought they were making up numbers,
0:10:33 > 0:10:42that can't possibly happen?Places like Manitoba and Saskatchewan.If
0:10:42 > 0:10:47it drops below freezing, we start to panic, but that was nothing to them.
0:10:47 > 0:10:52Daily Express, another picture, the snow chaos, which is a strange
0:10:52 > 0:10:59headline. And then, will it be a white Christmas? It doesn't speak of
0:10:59 > 0:11:07Yuletide joy.Yes, Yuletide joy, drive your car off the road.This
0:11:07 > 0:11:15was in Brompton, North Yorkshire. Pretty grim.It is all happening in
0:11:15 > 0:11:20North Yorkshire, and there was a flurry in Westminster, as well.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24There was a flurry of snow when I came out of Oxford Circus, I
0:11:24 > 0:11:28thought, but someone had sprinkled something in the air, I felt conned.
0:11:28 > 0:11:36Not quite gold dust. Stardust. We are going to the Financial Times
0:11:36 > 0:11:42next. Jeremy Corbyn lashes out at big bank gamblers and speculators,
0:11:42 > 0:11:50not any bank.He has gone after Morgan Stanley, which had predicted
0:11:50 > 0:11:55snap elections next year and argued the prospect is much more scary from
0:11:55 > 0:12:02the equity perspective than Brexit, and they seem to argue in the report
0:12:02 > 0:12:04that a Jeremy Corbyn government would mark the most significant
0:12:04 > 0:12:08political shift in the UK since Margaret Thatcher and might pose a
0:12:08 > 0:12:14bigger risk than Brexit, so Jeremy Corbyn has decided to lash out in
0:12:14 > 0:12:19return.He doesn't like to be compared to Brexit, clearly,
0:12:19 > 0:12:24although he might be a secret Brexit supporter, although he said he voted
0:12:24 > 0:12:29to remain. If the banks are going to have a go at him, he is not a fan of
0:12:29 > 0:12:37banks generally. And capitalism. This time he has had a go at Morgan
0:12:37 > 0:12:43Stanley by name.Who have Alistair Darling on their board which is
0:12:43 > 0:12:47quite interesting, the former Labour Chancellor. In the past, it has been
0:12:47 > 0:12:58a general anti-Wall Street sentiment but this is particular.Yes, this
0:12:58 > 0:13:02idea... This is all about he is feeling bolstered after the
0:13:02 > 0:13:11election, feeling he can be a bit more aggressive with his tone, but
0:13:11 > 0:13:14when, as Leader of the Opposition, he sees a report like that which
0:13:14 > 0:13:19they put out, I'm not surprised in the way he has responded.This
0:13:19 > 0:13:23comment will play well with his supporters.This reinforces his
0:13:23 > 0:13:29brand. He is antiestablishment, he is for change and he wants to tip
0:13:29 > 0:13:34everything over and start again, and this kind of thing is gold dust. To
0:13:34 > 0:13:40him.Were he to be in power, he would realise that he needed the
0:13:40 > 0:13:45banks and had to create the right environment for business.You might
0:13:45 > 0:13:54know that. But...You make him sound like a sage, but that is the tussle
0:13:54 > 0:14:02for some parties.Absolutely, even in some of the language he uses, he
0:14:02 > 0:14:09said, when they say we are a threat, they are right, we are the party of
0:14:09 > 0:14:17the many.People will say that is the politics of envy.That is what
0:14:17 > 0:14:27the bank said.Don't forget you can see all of the front pages on the
0:14:27 > 0:14:35website.
0:14:35 > 0:14:37Online on the BBC News website.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39It's all there for you - seven days a week at
0:14:39 > 0:14:42bbc.co.uk/papers - and if you miss the programme any
0:14:42 > 0:14:44evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer
0:14:44 > 0:14:45Thank you, John and Jo.
