01/12/2017 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow.

With me are Rachel Cunliffe, Comment

and Features Editor at City AM,

and the Writer & Broadcaster,

Lynn Faulds Wood.

Leicester see you both. Look at us

without cool colours, the three

Graces. Allardyce in our cool

The Financial Times,

which leads with the guilty plea

by former National Security Advisor

to Donald Trump Paul Flynn,

for misleading the FBI

about his connections to Russia.

The I features the warning from

the Brexit Secretary David Davis

that he would resign

if the Deputy Prime Minister Damian

Green was forced to quit over claims

pornography was found on his House

of Commons computer.

The Daily Mail says

the Conservatives are at war

with the police over

the accusations, which are

they say are the product

of a long running feud.

The Telegraph highlights the danger

to the President following the deal

made by Paul Flynn to cooperate

with FBI investigators examining

Russian interference in the US

elections last year.

The Sun carries a large picture

of Prince Harry's fiance

The Guardian's top story is also

the guilty plea by Paul Flynn,

noting the President

was uncharacteristically

quiet on the matter.

The Sun carries a large picture

of Prince Harry's fiance

Meghan Markle on her first public

engagement with the Prince since

they announced their engagement,

calling her a mega star.

The Daily Express claims

new research suggests

if you are overweight you are more

likely to develop dementia,

those in their 50s with a high

Body Mass Index most at risk.

We're going to start, then, with

those revelations that admission by

Michael Flynn, former security

adviser to Donald Trump that he lied

to the FBI. So it says on the

Guardian.

Not only did he lied, he's

now what we call in this country as

Queen' evidence or anti-Trump

evidence. And he's joining the FBI

former director-general Robert

Miller who is investigating Russian

meddling and has already arrested...

Meddling in the election last year.

The problem was for Trump is that

he's likely to or senior figures and

the one they mention is come's

son-in-law Jared Kusher.

Who was

already been spoken and they say

they will have him in for another

chat.

Jared Kusher and interesting

person because he has numerous

contacts with some various dubious

international character. What is

interesting about Flynn coming

forward is he has not led guilty to

one count of lying to the FBI which

is minor compared to what he could

be charged with. They discuss

sanctions with the Russian

ambassador. I'm not an expert in US

law but there are a number of other

troubles that he could get into.

He's pled guilty to one count of the

maximum sentences of five years,

that's relatively mild. There was

the assumption here that he had

stuck a deal, he is cooperating, who

is he going to name next?

How high

up the chain does it go?

At the

moment the only suggestion is Jarrod

Tesla. However, there are various

rumours that could affect from --

Jared Kushner. But I suspect is so

clever at tweeting his way out of

trouble, he changes the subject.

He's been uncharacteristically

silent.

His to this afternoon, there

was hardly anything for a while and

nothing really about what's

happening.

Maybe he's getting advice

on when he feels is an safe

territory Dan Hill comment. The

White House is saying this

implicates no one. -- then he will

comment.

They say it's implicating

Obama which is 1984 doublespeak. The

point that Michael Flynn worked in

the Obama impersonation, calling him

a former Obama official. For

misconduct.

--

chaotic, disruptive and not

following procedures. They point out

he was only serving for 25 days in

Trump's administration. There was

good Duport reporting is not because

Trump hounded him out, Trump was

saying to the end that he was a good

guy and it was the mainstream media.

They're not guys.

Trump was lauding

him as in the greatest thing since

sliced three star general is one

they appointed him. Very also saw

Flynn saying in the run-up to the

election, Flynn was shouting lock up

Hillary as well. We think this guy

could be made a meal of in the

witness stand because he seems to be

a bit flaky for a three star

general.

Meanwhile in Russia they

are saying look, the anti-Russian

spin continues. You spotted, who is

at the top of the Guardian, Rachel?

Can you look on Luck is up here.

Hillary Clinton in conversation with

Mary Beard who I am absolutely a

huge fan of. And Hillary Clinton.

There she is not laughing at the

current situation? I think given

Flynn was leading calls to lock her

up, she must be finding this

bitterly hilarious.

It's an

interesting, I wonder if it's

coincidental that the Guardian have

put it where they have above the

masthead tonight. I've dropped it on

the floor, we better move on. We

were ready anyway. The Daily Mail.

Let's take our time. Tories at war

with the police. This is over a

former detective speaking to the

media about...

No, that was Neil

Lewis.

This is where the feud comes

in. Nine years ago. These images

were found on a computer in Damian

Green's offers.

As has now been

leaked.

He says it's nothing to do

with me, I didn't download them, I

didn't feud on House of Commons

property and that the police

officers query that.

The police

officer in question is has said that

he knows or he's examined the

evidence and it's clear he was

Damian Green looking at the time

periods in which computer it was

used on.

Mingling with e-mails in

this as well.

There are so many

angles on this story. He denies it

as well. This evidence was seized

another of years ago at the

assumption was that had been deleted

and it was all perfectly legal

content, if unsavoury, and that the

police had promised to raise it and

one of these police officers thought

this was the wrong decision and

therefore held onto it and is

leaking it now. The male course this

a vendetta and said that the police

are trying to oust Damian Green and

it has become war. I'm torn on this.

I believe please need to follow

procedure and that if there was

nothing illegal there, that's where

it should end. At the same time for

the House of Commons has no HR

department and in any other field of

work, as someone was doing that, he

said he wasn't, if someone was doing

30 get fired instantly. Parliament

seems to be the only place that

doesn't happen.

David Davis says

prepared to consider the

resignation.

If Damian Green gets

pushed out of his job over this.

Prepared to consider it.

I wonder if

Davis has had enough of Brexit.

You

can't blame him.

That's just

speculation. If you look back to

2006 in all of the start, I think

it's six of one and half a dozen of

the other. They will say the Tories

are at war of the police but back

then it started when Jacqui Smith

from Labour was the Home Secretary

and there was a young Tory activist

coming to David Davis according to

the papers today, to say that he

wanted to get a job for labour and

then leak information to them. He

was put on to Damian Green. There

was a history here and Damian Green

according to the papers today, meet

him in a pub and received these

secrets from Jacqui Smith's offers.

This is all speculative isn't it was

Green will say hold on a minute...

This was taken as why the police

went in...

Damian Green said look of

done nothing wrong here. To some

people it looks like a witchhunt?

I

think that...

If there were secrets

out there then unfortunately...

That's not what is being revealed

here. From the perspective of

Theresa May's Cabinet if she feels

she has two fire Damian Green and he

does go, who does she have less?

She's losing Cabinet minister.

Two

already. A couple having on by the

skin of their teeth.

And several

being investigated quietly by the

police for inappropriate behaviour.

Presumably with women.

There are

probably some Labour MPs also being

investigated.

They're not in

government at the moment. Our

government looks like if they've got

them a bit of a fix.

Shall we move

on?

Brexit, yea!

Here it is on page

six, there's so much of it. Warning

Theresa May, we will give Irish

final say on trade talks.

I don't

think this is a story. The first

line is that the EU will for Port

Irish veto on trade talks unless

Theresa May caved in.

No hard border

between Ireland and the republic. --

Northern Ireland and the republic.

Ireland is an EU member and if the

story was Belgium said the EU will

support their demands, we wouldn't

be surprised. We have this idea

because of the said culture and

history, Ireland should somehow be

on our side but there's no reason

that the EQ wouldn't support I, this

plays right into their hands.

It's

stating the obvious. The reason I

think it's a story, they are

cranking up this anti-British

feeling going into the talks and

Donald Tusk, the paper says he is

Brussels chief, he has a longer

title vow that, he is actually

saying the Irish have the vetoes if

they don't like whatever they are

doing coming out, they have a veto.

The rest can do what they are

saying. That is I story because

every week we find a way for the

papacy

Wanting...

EU -- papers there are 27 EU states

and they each have a red line.

They

will go back to their countries and

sell whatever it is to the

electorate. Rob Nolan that'll be

work visas and migration, France

will be something like trade tariffs

on agriculture and possibly

financial regulations, Paris and

Germany. They want to take status of

London as a financial centres. All

will have demand. This is Ireland's

demand. The differences we get

emotional and nostalgic unpatriotic?

And unpatriotic?

Britain daring wanting to come out

or the UK, bit unfair, and

absolutely not unfair.

If it's not

an server are some thorny issues

that have to be decided such as the

citizens rights, the divorce Bill

and the Irish question.

The biggest

problem is if you don't want a hard

border, anything can happen going

through that border now. We were

talking today about to do is develop

software?

Drones. It will be drones.

It's the sensitivity of having a

border back between the Republic of

Ireland and Northern Ireland. And

after the goods Friday agreement and

the solution, finally seeing an end

to the trouble is that we lived

through, there's an enormous amount

of concern about the idea of

bringing that border back.

Of course

there is. I don't think there's

something that most people want do.

Another problem is Theresa May's

government is propped up by the DUP

and the red Line for them is hard

border between Northern Ireland and

the rest of the UK, which is

problematic for the hole for a

number of reasons. Those 10-12 MPs

controlled the government.

Not to

mention a large amount of our money.

They have bidding powers for

agreeing to the confidence of

supply, that's the leverage to use

when you're a politician.

I have

reached the point where I listen to

the people saying why don't we just

have another referendum because no

one thought it would be such a

horrible mess with other lawyers

did.

I don't think we can handle

another referendum.

Can you handle

what's happening? It appears to we

haven't got many cards in this.

When

we've got the deal, maybe were will

be a rethink. Cough mixture. We need

a consumer story when Lynn is in.

Cough syrup is rescue the children,

what's wrong with it?

They're saying

you could end up giving the child

too much. The big problem with

children's medicine, eight years

I've helped the coalition, take

cancer retreating, they get cut down

adult medicine. Medicines tend not

to be developed especially for

children.

Body weight often isn't

it?

There are various stories about

people trying to quieten their baby

sometimes by giving them the

medicine, it's very easy to

overdosage children. We should look

at children better than we do to and

give guidance to parents of what is

risky and what isn't. Aspirin and we

decided was risky in small children

and a lot of children are very

confused.

Never give

you'd never give children apropos

proposed fairness there was a

danger.

No brand names, but once

Europe sofa covered in pink fabric

the same as a particular brand

medicine that you gave children.

There's always a danger of overdose?

There is always a danger and parents

will try to do whatever is best for

the child, that is so much

conflicting information about

medicine and all kinds of things

when you are pregnant and this food

has this effect in adult life. It's

not possible ever to act in a

completely risk-free way. This is

very scary.

What they are saying him

as actually, nothing is better just

rest. A pill for every ill is doing

a lot of damage.

There probably is

problem which is over meditating as

adults and children and rest, it

will get better on their own.

An

old-fashioned honey and lemon drink

they are suggesting.

Sounds nice.

Plenty of rest. Not when you're

trying to sleep though. We've all

been there. Two people got engaged,

did you know?

Breaking news. It's

all over everything tonight.

The sun

have a picture of Megan Marco. Not

the best picture of her.

Their hair

looks a bit grey on the cover of the

Sun. I can say what I like.

This

come out in Nottingham, first outing

as an official royal. Everyone loved

her and she was very charismatic,

obviously she's an actress and is

used to crowd, I don't know what to

say about this except that the

causes they were supporting in

Nottingham are very important. They

were there for world AIDS Day and

for the programme working for medal

health and young people.

The

Express, while talking, that show

the paper. The express.

I think this

is potentially very good for the

world family. I'm not Scottish

sometimes.

Balmoral.

That English

people live there. I work with

Princess Diana on the Old Course to

do with children and I think that

Harry who has a social contrast...

-- social conscience, that his role

in life, his brother has to wait to

be king. Meghan Markle also has a

social conscience and think you

might find this couple will turn out

to be a serious good for the world

play their cards right.

Let's give

the last word to Matt. As a reporter

standing, talking to camera saying

after Meghan Markle's triumphant

first royal visit she will go to

Brussels to negotiate a better

Brexit deal.

That solves the David

Davis problem.

She can walk on water

as the Channel while she does.

That's it for The Papers tonight.
