30/11/2017 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow.

With me are John Rentoul,

Chief Political Commentator

at The Independent, and political

strategist Jo Tanner.

She does appear on other paper

reviews but we won't mention them.

Welcome to this one. And now to the

front pages.

The Metro claims that the special

relationship between the US

and the UK looks to be in jeopardy

following the row over Donald

Trump's anti-muslim twitter posts.

The FT says the Labour Leader,

Jeremy Corbyn has warned banks

operating in the City of London,

that he would be a threat

to their business if he

became Prime Minister.

The Express leads on the medical

research which suggests that eating

cheese could slash the risk

of heart disease.

The I says British and American

diplomats are trying

to repair the damage caused

by the public falling out between

Donald Trump and Theresa May.

The Mirror reports on the calls

to prosecute the US president

for race hate over his tweets.

The paper says the best response

would be to cancel his state visit.

The Times reports that

Far-right group Britain First

has been boasting of an increase

in support after Donald Trump

re-tweeted the group's

anti-muslim videos.

The Guardian covers the research

which has found that

children as young as two

are being streamed on ability.

And The Sun leads on two

of the army's 'hero hounds'

which are facing being put down

because officials say

they can't be rehomed.

There is a lot of Donald Trump in

this review. As you might have

guessed. We start with The Daily

Mirror, not wanted, it says, with

the mock up of a Western poster.

Calls to cancel the state visit, but

that won't happen?

This is the visit

that was presented to Donald Trump

when Theresa May went on her visit

to meet him but I'm not sure we

really ever thought this visit was

going to happen anyway. It has been

put off and put off and not spoken

about and we have deliberately not

wanted to organise a date, like

having one of those relatives you

don't want to come to stay annual

really busy. -- and you're really

busy.

That's not autobiographical,

of course.

Of course not! There is

now a clamour to say that he

shouldn't be coming but actually I

think there has been an effort to

dampen down the conversation about

it even happening at all.

There was

the suggestion that there was

indecent haste offering the state

visit in the first place, not

letting him bed in and finding out

what kind of presidency it was going

to be.

It was one of those decisions

of Theresa May's that has come back

to bite her, but you could see her

reasoning. You want to get in there

early and impress the new president

and you want to improve relations

between Britain and America

especially because a Brexit, we are

going to need a trade deal with

America. It has backfired rather

spectacularly, and it is not as

simple as The Daily Mirror implies,

to on invite him, because the Queen

has invited him as the head of

state. He has accepted and therefore

it is quite awkward for the

government to get the Queen to

disinvite him, that would not go

down well.

It is head of state to

head of state, isn't it?

Yes, so the

ideal solution is to keep putting

off the actual date. I don't think

Donald Trump wants to come.

There

are suggestions that he was

concerned there could be protests,

and if there weren't the

>> STUDIO:

-- there weren't going to be then,

there certainly are now.

What about

race crime?

I don't quite know how

that works, but no doubt that will

be explained on further pages of The

Daily Mirror.

In America, the right

to free speech, constitutional.

Yes.

Let's look at the i Paper comedy

special in tatters, this is a bit

overwritten? -- i Paper, the special

relationship in tatters.

Anything

which mentions the special

relationship is overwritten, and we

don't have an especially good

relationship with Donald Trump. He

likes Britain, his mother was

Scottish.

He has a golf course.

But

it is more than that. The

relationship between this country

and America will withstand this.

I

hope so, yes.

This isn't the first

argument, there are historical

items, difficulties between Thatcher

and Reagan is never got over them,

and issues between Tony Blair and

Bill Clinton over Gerry Adams.

Babies that was granted to him

before the peace process, I think

for the -- a viz that was granted to

him. There have been issues before.

This will be at the back of the

minds of politicians, the trade

deal, although they have got to

speak out about things like these,

the anti-Muslim videos, but they

will be thinking after Brexit, we

have said our relationship with

America is going to be brilliant

portable and they are going to give

us a great trade deal. -- brilliant

and they are going to give us.

Well,

are they? Donald Trump's whole thing

was protectionist and America first,

we were going to get much from him

anyway, but you want to maintain the

relationship at the official level

-- we weren't. These things take a

long time to negotiate a maybe

Donald Trump won't be there for very

long.

The Daily Telegraph also has

the Kop story, he will not visit the

UK in the foreseeable future -- the

Trump story. He was going to come

here quite soon?

The idea is that

after the initial visit offer had

been made and it was accepted, there

was the suggestion it would be this

year and then it got, the narrative

would be it would be around the new

US embassy opening and that would be

the reason, some flagship event, but

I don't know, maybe that will...

Maybe they have got to polish the

floor a bit more, maybe some

gardening that needs to be done.

Maybe until our memories forget this

latest episode.

Exactly. Theresa May

was in a bind, she had to say

something about what he had put out

on Twitter.

She did, she was pretty

forceful about it, saying it was

completely wrong. She wants to

condemn it without drawing too much

attention to this awful group and

giving them the oxygen and

publicity. She was as robust as she

could be.

The language was very

specific, it was wrong of him, and

Amber Rudd also repeated that in the

House of Commons, very specific

language. It wasn't that Donald

Trump was wrong, it was wrong to

have tweeted that, it was very

careful language. When the number

ten official spokesperson mentioned

and answered this question, very

soon afterwards it was reiterated

that they were speaking on behalf of

the Prime Minister which is unusual,

they don't always do that, but it

was made very clear that she was

very firm about her condemnation.

The Ambassador of the United States

has made representations to the

White House, but the idea that

Donald Trump did this without

thinking about the consequences, do

you buy that?

Well, does he think

about consequences? He knows how

this will play with his supporters

in the states. This is just the way

he operates. He is like a teenager.

There's something interesting, when

trees away

>> STUDIO: --

Theresa May

was in the Middle East, that was

when another Donald Trump episode

came out, and now again, almost as

if he has seen her diary.

And out to

The Guardian, we have some pretty

pictures, which is great. Winter

arrives with a flurry, lovely

picture.

Whitby, North Yorkshire.

Looks absolutely beautiful.

Extremely cold even in London

tonight.

We normally get away with

it a bit.

Outside here it was

amazingly cold.

I want that at

Christmas, I have a nine-year old

and I'm desperate for a white

Christmas, the magical thing that

you grow up with, getting a white

Christmas, it is so rare.

I don't

remember getting many when I was

growing up, even further north than

this. It is beautiful, but not

always easy to navigate. We talk

about it down here. It is easy for

us down in London, to get a

smattering of snow everything it is

the end of the world, but other

parts of the country, up in high

land, Scotland, the peaks, Northern

Ireland...

I was on holiday last

year, the people said they lived

much further north in northern parts

of Canada, and their idea of cold

was the kind of stuff which I

thought they were making up numbers,

that can't possibly happen?

Places

like Manitoba and Saskatchewan.

If

it drops below freezing, we start to

panic, but that was nothing to them.

Daily Express, another picture, the

snow chaos, which is a strange

headline. And then, will it be a

white Christmas? It doesn't speak of

Yuletide joy.

Yes, Yuletide joy,

drive your car off the road.

This

was in Brompton, North Yorkshire.

Pretty grim.

It is all happening in

North Yorkshire, and there was a

flurry in Westminster, as well.

There was a flurry of snow when I

came out of Oxford Circus, I

thought, but someone had sprinkled

something in the air, I felt conned.

Not quite gold dust. Stardust. We

are going to the Financial Times

next. Jeremy Corbyn lashes out at

big bank gamblers and speculators,

not any bank.

He has gone after

Morgan Stanley, which had predicted

snap elections next year and argued

the prospect is much more scary from

the equity perspective than Brexit,

and they seem to argue in the report

that a Jeremy Corbyn government

would mark the most significant

political shift in the UK since

Margaret Thatcher and might pose a

bigger risk than Brexit, so Jeremy

Corbyn has decided to lash out in

return.

He doesn't like to be

compared to Brexit, clearly,

although he might be a secret Brexit

supporter, although he said he voted

to remain. If the banks are going to

have a go at him, he is not a fan of

banks generally. And capitalism.

This time he has had a go at Morgan

Stanley by name.

Who have Alistair

Darling on their board which is

quite interesting, the former Labour

Chancellor. In the past, it has been

a general anti-Wall Street sentiment

but this is particular.

Yes, this

idea... This is all about he is

feeling bolstered after the

election, feeling he can be a bit

more aggressive with his tone, but

when, as Leader of the Opposition,

he sees a report like that which

they put out, I'm not surprised in

the way he has responded.

This

comment will play well with his

supporters.

This reinforces his

brand. He is antiestablishment, he

is for change and he wants to tip

everything over and start again, and

this kind of thing is gold dust. To

him.

Were he to be in power, he

would realise that he needed the

banks and had to create the right

environment for business.

You might

know that. But...

You make him sound

like a sage, but that is the tussle

for some parties.

Absolutely, even

in some of the language he uses, he

said, when they say we are a threat,

they are right, we are the party of

the many.

People will say that is

the politics of envy.

That is what

the bank said.

Don't forget you can

see all of the front pages on the

website.

Online on the BBC News website.

It's all there for you -
