as well. It starts, settles, then it
gets too wet and windy in the middle | 0:00:00 | 0:00:01 | |
part of the week, then it turns
much, much colder. Loads going on, | 0:00:01 | 0:00:04 | |
we have the full nine yards on the
website. | 0:00:04 | 0:00:13 | |
Hello. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:14 | |
This is BBC News. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:16 | |
We'll be taking a look at tomorrow
morning's papers in a moment. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
First, the headlines: | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
On the eve of a crucial meeting
for the Prime Minister in Brussels, | 0:00:20 | 0:00:23 | |
a group of leading Brexiteers,
demand guarantees, before any | 0:00:24 | 0:00:26 | |
"Divorce Bill" is paid. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:33 | |
All four board members
of the government's | 0:00:33 | 0:00:35 | |
Social Mobility Commission have
resigned in protest of what they see | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
as a lack of progress
towards a "fairer Britain." | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
The White House says North Korea's
nuclear ambitions pose "the greatest | 0:00:40 | 0:00:48 | |
threat to the United States,
and to the world." | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
A lorry driver who crashed
into stationary traffic on the M6 | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
after falling asleep at the wheel
is jailed for 16 months. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
Sky-watchers can begin catching
glimpses of this month's | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
"super-moon" when the Moon appears
larger and brighter in the sky. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:16 | |
Brothers, Dave and James Franco star
in the Disaster Artist about another | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
film, The Room. Find out what me and
Mark Kermode think about them in The | 0:01:19 | 0:01:27 | |
Film Review. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:27 | |
Hello, and welcome to our look ahead
to what the papers will be | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
bringing us tomorrow. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
With me is the deputy political
editor of the Independent, | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
Rob Merrick, and the author
and broadcaster, Natalie Haynes. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:37 | |
Tomorrow's front pages,
starting with this. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
Thank you for coming in in and thank
you for staying for the second | 0:01:39 | 0:01:43 | |
review. That is OK to do. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:52 | |
A number of tomorrow's front pages
look ahead to the Prime Minister's | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
meeting with the President
of the European Commission | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
in Brussels tomorrow. | 0:01:58 | 0:01:59 | |
The Times reports claims that the UK
and the European Union are "90%" | 0:01:59 | 0:02:02 | |
there on a deal that would open
the door for transition and trade | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
talks on Brexit this month. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
The Independent reports on fears
from MEPs that the future rights | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
of EU citizens in the UK and Britons
in the EU are being forgotten | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
as a deal gets closer. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:15 | |
The Express says Theresa May faces
a backbench revolt if she gives more | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
concessions to the EU. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:20 | |
The Financial Times says
the Prime Minister is set | 0:02:20 | 0:02:22 | |
for a momentous day in Brussels. | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
It also reports that there has been
a surge in Swiss banks' reporting | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
of suspicious activity
by Saudi clients. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:29 | |
Some of the papers,
like the Guardian, are leading | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
on research from the Joseph
Rowntree Foundation, | 0:02:32 | 0:02:33 | |
which found almost 400,000 more
children and 300,000 more over-65s | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
were living in poverty last
year than in 2012-2013. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
The i has the same story,
describing a "poverty time | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
bomb" for pensioners. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
The Daily Mirror says the report
exposes Theresa May's pledge | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
to tackle poverty as a sham. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
The Telegraph focuses
on the virtual currency, | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
Bitcoin, saying there will be
a crack-down amid concern | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
it is being used to launder
money and dodge tax. | 0:02:51 | 0:03:02 | |
Looking at tomorrow and the Brussels
meeting. Brexit is 90% complete. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
Things are | 0:03:08 | 0:03:08 | |
meeting. Brexit is 90% complete.
Things are apparently going quickly. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
We were thinking we were nowhere
near trade. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:14 | |
It looks 90% absent 20 minutes ago.
It was casually mentioned by an | 0:03:17 | 0:03:25 | |
unnamed official. Work is needed to
find a formula to satisfy Ireland. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:31 | |
Apparently we are not bothered about
the Good Friday Agreement. That is | 0:03:31 | 0:03:39 | |
surprising considering Theresa May
and the DUP. They don't want to | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
border between Ireland and the rest
of the country. Theresa May is in a | 0:03:42 | 0:03:48 | |
bind. She has to satisfy the Dublin
government and the EU, guaranteeing | 0:03:48 | 0:03:57 | |
they will not be a hard border after
Brexit. But she cannot say she is | 0:03:57 | 0:04:07 | |
more aligned with Dublin than
London. After saying that, I don't | 0:04:07 | 0:04:15 | |
understand how they can be 90%
there. Perhaps they are rounding up. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:23 | |
In order to get to phase two, they
don't have to reach agreement. They | 0:04:23 | 0:04:29 | |
just need sufficient progress. That
is a very wide margin. Progress is | 0:04:29 | 0:04:36 | |
whatever they decide it is. They
want to move on to trade. The bar to | 0:04:36 | 0:04:43 | |
is lower than an agreement. -- to
clear. The government wants to have | 0:04:43 | 0:04:52 | |
a two year transition deal. They
recognise not everything will be | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
ready by March 2018. They could be
talking about a transition deal even | 0:04:56 | 0:05:06 | |
if not enough has been done to talk
about trade. One of the big issues | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
with the divorce bill in the Irish
border was supposed to be the rights | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
of citizens. Apparently they are at
risk. We want to focus on other | 0:05:14 | 0:05:20 | |
issues. It seems to have slipped
down the pecking order. What we | 0:05:20 | 0:05:26 | |
picked up from Brussels was a series
of meetings MEPs have had with the | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
chief negotiator for the commission,
the belief that the EU is willing to | 0:05:31 | 0:05:38 | |
compromise too much and keep these
issues into phase two. There might | 0:05:38 | 0:05:44 | |
not be guarantees EU citizens
desperately want. The legal right to | 0:05:44 | 0:05:50 | |
stay would still be in doubt if the
UK left without a deal. They say | 0:05:50 | 0:05:58 | |
they should focus separately on
making sure they can leave and stay. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
Even if that agreement is reached,
there is the family reunification | 0:06:02 | 0:06:08 | |
rights, the rights of those born
after Brexit, whether they will be | 0:06:08 | 0:06:12 | |
overseen by the European Court of
Justice rather than the Home Office, | 0:06:12 | 0:06:16 | |
which many Conservative MPs are
suspicious of. Many were told | 0:06:16 | 0:06:22 | |
wrongly they are being told to leave
the country when they have a right | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
to stay. Many are choosing not to
come in the first place now. The | 0:06:26 | 0:06:30 | |
trouble is it is equally awful, I
would imagine, being a British | 0:06:30 | 0:06:35 | |
citizen living on mainland Europe
not knowing what your rights will be | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
in a few years' time. These
individual people are quite easily | 0:06:38 | 0:06:43 | |
swept aside in pursuit of a greater
gains believed by those negotiating. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:50 | |
These are actual lives of people
thrown into complete disarray for | 0:06:50 | 0:06:54 | |
years to come because no one is
prepared to stand up and say you | 0:06:54 | 0:06:58 | |
want to stay there and you want to
stay here and you can tell each | 0:06:58 | 0:07:02 | |
other out. You are welcome. -- you
cancel each other. That seems like | 0:07:02 | 0:07:08 | |
it quick and easy thing to fix. If
you cannot get that thing done, I | 0:07:08 | 0:07:12 | |
don't fill terrific about borders
and trade. The headlines are | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
optimistic. A French warship berths.
The French are coming to the rescue. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:25 | |
We would have a more fun story if
this weren't the FT. We may be | 0:07:25 | 0:07:36 | |
getting rid of amphibious craft due
to cuts. The French still have some. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:44 | |
Our marines could go and train on
them because we will have a couple | 0:07:44 | 0:07:52 | |
of rafts and perhaps a canoe. We
should not joke. It is serious. But | 0:07:52 | 0:07:58 | |
it is a bit funny when it becomes
clear that in the words of Nicks | 0:07:58 | 0:08:02 | |
Childs, we may have deficits in
shipping is, ie, we will have none, | 0:08:02 | 0:08:13 | |
but we have a world-renowned force
in the Marines. The French have the | 0:08:13 | 0:08:24 | |
ships, but their Marines are in the
Army. There is room for cooperation. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:28 | |
They have ships and we have the
people to put on them. This could | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
work. Unless everyone needs them at
the same time. Yeah. You have to put | 0:08:31 | 0:08:43 | |
a downer on it. This would be a big
story if it was a normal week. We | 0:08:43 | 0:08:49 | |
have not had one for a while.
Conservative MPs are not happy about | 0:08:49 | 0:08:53 | |
defence cuts. Money is being spent
on cyber warfare and Triton. People | 0:08:53 | 0:09:03 | |
will say that troops are not needed
any more. Looking at the state of | 0:09:03 | 0:09:09 | |
the Western world, people might
think closer communication between | 0:09:09 | 0:09:18 | |
allies. But many people in this
country are suspicious of what they | 0:09:18 | 0:09:24 | |
see as a euro Defence Force. The
Guardian. A sharp rise in child | 0:09:24 | 0:09:31 | |
poverty as cuts bite. We had a mass
resignation of the board of the | 0:09:31 | 0:09:37 | |
Social Mobility Commission. They
said he would not be replaced | 0:09:37 | 0:09:42 | |
anyway. But the prospect is that
things will get worse for those who | 0:09:42 | 0:09:49 | |
are already poor. They are
devastating figures, no doubt about | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
it. The first thing to point out is
this is the first increase in child | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
poverty in 20 years. They found
700,000 more young people and | 0:09:58 | 0:10:05 | |
pensioners are living beneath the
bread line. If you think that is | 0:10:05 | 0:10:10 | |
bad, a separate study for the
Institute for Fiscal Studies said | 0:10:10 | 0:10:15 | |
5.2 million children will be living
in poverty in the next five years. | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
It is a truly terrifying figure. The
figures out today, 700,000, this has | 0:10:19 | 0:10:26 | |
already happened already in the last
four years. The criticism of the | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
Prime Minister is she made that
speech everyone admired in Downing | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
Street when she took over. She said
the government would look after the | 0:10:33 | 0:10:37 | |
downtrodden not the favoured few.
But the criticism is clearly that | 0:10:37 | 0:10:43 | |
she just made a speech without
action. Austerity is not over. A | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
long way to go of it. As I said, the
numbers being quoted are just | 0:10:47 | 0:10:55 | |
horrifying. 30% of children in
poverty. How can that possibly be | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
true? That number just seems so
incredibly high. But the increase is | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
700,000. That is not the net figure.
The net figure is one in five. 40 | 0:11:03 | 0:11:08 | |
million people living at 60% of
median income. It is a terrifying | 0:11:08 | 0:11:17 | |
number. These are actual real-life
people who cannot cope with pay | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
freezes and the rising cost of
living. None of these things are | 0:11:21 | 0:11:26 | |
likely to change any time soon. If
austerity was lightened, the cost of | 0:11:26 | 0:11:31 | |
living ceasing to rise, seems
optimistic. The best before date in | 0:11:31 | 0:11:42 | |
a bid to cut waste. This is the
Coop. Apparently they will be | 0:11:42 | 0:11:54 | |
selling food after best before dates
including chips and lollies. It was | 0:11:54 | 0:12:01 | |
previously being sent to landfill.
Now it will be just reduced in | 0:12:01 | 0:12:05 | |
price. As we know, best before race
not same as use by. You will not be | 0:12:05 | 0:12:14 | |
poisoned by a slightly stale crisp.
You will just get some calories you | 0:12:14 | 0:12:19 | |
need for 10p as you are already
suffering as we read from the | 0:12:19 | 0:12:24 | |
previous story. It seems like a
little bit of progress to reduce | 0:12:24 | 0:12:32 | |
waste and give food to people who
are in poverty. I don't think that | 0:12:32 | 0:12:38 | |
is a good solution, but it is better
to do that than not do it. Many | 0:12:38 | 0:12:42 | |
people who can afford to pay full
price will say it is a good idea to | 0:12:42 | 0:12:47 | |
stop the waste as well. It is a
positive thing. One supermarket, | 0:12:47 | 0:12:54 | |
Coop, they will do it and others
will follow it. Wonky veg is | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
another. I got a wonky carrot and a
wonky cauliflower. It is a broad | 0:12:59 | 0:13:10 | |
church where you live. They look
funny but they are OK when you cut | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
them up. We will finish with the
Guardian. Air pollution stops play | 0:13:14 | 0:13:20 | |
in Delhi test match. I liked this
story. Go on. Dramatic riches of Sri | 0:13:20 | 0:13:28 | |
Lankan players with gas masks. --
pictures. Everyone knows the air | 0:13:28 | 0:13:34 | |
quality is horrific death and I
would not want to live or a play or | 0:13:34 | 0:13:40 | |
bowl fast in those conditions. But
as you get to the bottom of the | 0:13:40 | 0:13:44 | |
story, skulduggery is afoot. Yes.
That is according to the chairman of | 0:13:44 | 0:13:47 | |
the English Cricket Board. He says
there was a point where Sri Lankan | 0:13:47 | 0:13:54 | |
players were put in gas masks and
fast bowlers were unwilling to ball. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
They got 507 runs. India felt
obliged to declare at that point | 0:13:58 | 0:14:05 | |
because the Sri Lankans would not
bowl at them. They came out to bat | 0:14:05 | 0:14:12 | |
and were not wearing gas masks. That
is when the Indian board said if for | 0:14:12 | 0:14:18 | |
the 7000 people in the stance did
not have a problem and the England | 0:14:18 | 0:14:22 | |
team did not have it, why did the
English team make a farce? -- | 0:14:22 | 0:14:28 | |
stands. Last year in November they
had to stop two tests. In defence of | 0:14:28 | 0:14:37 | |
those who exercise in terrible
weather when we should not, it is | 0:14:37 | 0:14:42 | |
much harder if you are running
because you are breathing more | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
deeply. I cannot imagine what it is
like for the pollution to be so bad | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
you are, and I quote, vomiting
continuously. I do like the word | 0:14:49 | 0:14:54 | |
skulduggery. It is not quite a body
line my favourite bit of Australian | 0:14:54 | 0:15:13 | |
sledging is when someone was
swatting flies and they said hey, | 0:15:13 | 0:15:23 | |
leave those flies alone. Ending on
an anecdote. Thank you for coming | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
in. Coming up now, the film | 0:15:28 | 0:15:33 |
