0:00:00 > 0:00:10Sportsday. Coming up in a moment, The Papers. See you soon.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16The Papers. See you soon. Hello and welcome to our look ahead
0:00:16 > 0:00:19to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22With me are Michael Booker, Deputy Editor of the Daily Express
0:00:22 > 0:00:24and Lainy Malkani, journalist and author.
0:00:24 > 0:00:31Tomorrow's front pages. Starting with...
0:00:31 > 0:00:36The Financial Times that says Bitcoin prices on the biggest
0:00:36 > 0:00:42exchanges diverged wildly in a session that exposed the fragile
0:00:42 > 0:00:47trading infrastructure of the currency.ened The Times: Ready to
0:00:47 > 0:00:51work through the night to reach a compromise on the Irish border
0:00:51 > 0:00:58issue. And the Daily Mail: And comments that British terrorists
0:00:58 > 0:01:06should be killed. And the Garde: A report by the
0:01:06 > 0:01:09Government's spending watchdog that students are failed by universities
0:01:09 > 0:01:15in England with one in three saying that they receive value for money.
0:01:15 > 0:01:22And the Daily Mirror carries a royal exclusive, Megan Markle's dad says
0:01:22 > 0:01:31he would love to give his daughter away. And the #k7 Daily Express and
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Arctic weathers with subzero temperatures likely to last
0:01:34 > 0:01:39throughout the week next week. Let's start with the Telegraph.
0:01:39 > 0:01:48EU expects May to sign a deal today. Everyone was expecting on Monday
0:01:48 > 0:01:54that the break through would occur. Very excited, the bunting is out. As
0:01:54 > 0:02:00it says here, barring last-minute slip-ups. We have seen a few before.
0:02:00 > 0:02:04One in here, again it is talking about the signing off with the DUP.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09As we found out on Monday that is a key thing. So Theresa May is working
0:02:09 > 0:02:14through the night. The Telegraph have done it in a benign way. Saying
0:02:14 > 0:02:22it is calm and fine. Them being a Brexit newspaper. Donald Tusk to be
0:02:22 > 0:02:28talking before the markets open at 6.50am. But it does seem as though
0:02:28 > 0:02:35there is news on a deal. We have agreed £50 billion and the residence
0:02:35 > 0:02:40rights for the I nationals and now the Irish problem but they seem to
0:02:40 > 0:02:46have gotten somewhere with. The key words are what you pointed
0:02:46 > 0:02:52out "barring" that is the caveat. As we don't know. We know they are work
0:02:52 > 0:02:59through the night. The Times, the Financial Times head lines uses
0:02:59 > 0:03:06three Fs in the first two paragraphs, frantic, frenetic, that
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Theresa May is being forced into talks and she may or may not be
0:03:10 > 0:03:19going to Brussels tomorrow. So it is frantic and frenetic but...That is
0:03:19 > 0:03:24the difference between the Telegraph but everything is calm with the FT.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28Brussels is having its arm twisted but dealing with the DUP. There was
0:03:28 > 0:03:33a source who told the Sun that they will not blink as we have taken our
0:03:33 > 0:03:36eyelids off. That is how tough they are.
0:03:36 > 0:03:43It was surprising on Monday that things had not been squared off with
0:03:43 > 0:03:47the DUP, you think they might have talked with them in advance?That is
0:03:47 > 0:03:52right. You wonder what is going on behind the scenes. The public
0:03:52 > 0:03:57persona that it is calm, that it is under control and the discussions
0:03:57 > 0:04:01are going ahead but behind the scenes what is happening. If the DUP
0:04:01 > 0:04:05were not aware. If Theresa May had to come out of that lunch at the
0:04:05 > 0:04:10time to have the conversations, if the DUP had to then make their own
0:04:10 > 0:04:14statement, basically, telling us all that they are not satisfied with the
0:04:14 > 0:04:20talks.To be fair they have looked hapless at times. But this is
0:04:20 > 0:04:23unchartered territory. We have never had to deal with something as big as
0:04:23 > 0:04:30this for a long time. On both sides, it is easy for the EU to be
0:04:30 > 0:04:33intransigent. So what you have to remember, this is a deal to get a
0:04:33 > 0:04:39deal. We are not anywhere yet!We are read being deals and deadlines,
0:04:39 > 0:04:43people thinking it is sorted but it is a deal to just start talking
0:04:43 > 0:04:47about trade. Exactly. What was interesting,
0:04:47 > 0:04:52yesterday when the EU said that they were working until Sunday, the
0:04:52 > 0:04:57working week goes up until Sunday so that this means this could go up to
0:04:57 > 0:05:03the wire. Eurocrats working at the weekend!
0:05:03 > 0:05:09And the true deadline...That is March 2019. So they are putting the
0:05:09 > 0:05:15pressure on. But the truth is between the calmness of the Daily
0:05:15 > 0:05:23Telegraph and the frantic nature of the FT but it is in there for
0:05:23 > 0:05:28goodness knows how long to come. And the other story on the front
0:05:28 > 0:05:32page of the FT, a company reporting zero gender pay gaps that are
0:05:32 > 0:05:35inaccurate. Companies are not telling the truth about what this
0:05:35 > 0:05:41epay?Yes, one in 20 companies have submitted gender pay figures and
0:05:41 > 0:05:46looked at it and said that they are improbable, therefore, inaccurate.
0:05:46 > 0:05:51But the companies if they have more than 250 employees they have to
0:05:51 > 0:05:56submit the figures to see the differences in the pay gaps,
0:05:56 > 0:05:58submitting the mind the median figures. They have been putting them
0:05:58 > 0:06:03in, they are the same. The statisticians are saying this is
0:06:03 > 0:06:10untrue. Impossible. So they are either one that they are lying, two,
0:06:10 > 0:06:14they don't know the mean and the median, or three, they don't care
0:06:14 > 0:06:19about it.Or four, they don't think they would be found out. To me, if
0:06:19 > 0:06:24you put forward figures to say this is what you are doing, the reality
0:06:24 > 0:06:29of the situation, as we have seen in the run up to this, that there is a
0:06:29 > 0:06:33massive gender pay gap. Women are pushing the boundaries, saying this
0:06:33 > 0:06:38must stop. So that is to me the fourth dimension. They thought that
0:06:38 > 0:06:43they would not be found out. So you get the impression that they
0:06:43 > 0:06:47are not taking it seriously. So what does the Government do, name and
0:06:47 > 0:06:52shame us, we will go away but there are no penalties.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56But openness and honesty about the figures is crucial to the process?
0:06:56 > 0:07:08It is. Hugo Boss, they it had theirs pointed out it was unequal but then
0:07:08 > 0:07:14that there was a 32% pay gap. Now the Mail. The fuss about the
0:07:14 > 0:07:18Mail's headline yesterday with the interview with the new Defence
0:07:18 > 0:07:25Secretary, talking about them killing British jihadis is: I will
0:07:25 > 0:07:29not back down headline in the morning? It is the sort of thing
0:07:29 > 0:07:35that the right-wing readers want to hear it. A lot will be happy to see
0:07:35 > 0:07:40that happen, given the terrorism happening on our shores. Gavin
0:07:40 > 0:07:44Williams is trying to talk tough. Setting the stall out early on.
0:07:44 > 0:07:50There has been a back lash, as they are saying in the Mail, enraged
0:07:50 > 0:07:54liberals. Not everyone likes to see slaughter. That is fair enough. But
0:07:54 > 0:07:58they are saying that they are legitimate targets for military
0:07:58 > 0:08:05strikes. What's the alternative? February
0:08:05 > 0:08:10they are detained, what happens then? They cannot be killed in me
0:08:10 > 0:08:15are detained, can they. I am wondering whether or not he is
0:08:15 > 0:08:20sending out a message, as you said, he is new in the job. He is now
0:08:20 > 0:08:23sending a message to say he is tough.
0:08:23 > 0:08:28SnowIf he said we will let them in the country and everything would be
0:08:28 > 0:08:35fine, there would be an up roar. So he is going the other way. Saying
0:08:35 > 0:08:39that they are legitimate and therefore a threat.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42And senior public prosecutions and so on have raced questions about
0:08:42 > 0:08:48whether or not it would be legal to actually kill people who have gone
0:08:48 > 0:08:55out to join IS?That's it. What are the circumstances but as he is
0:08:55 > 0:08:59talking in big headlines and he wants to show he is a tough guy, we
0:08:59 > 0:09:06don't know about the detail what he means. This will go down well with
0:09:06 > 0:09:11Mail readers and others, as he is saying he is not backing down. We
0:09:11 > 0:09:15have had it this week with the failings in the MI5 MI5, the
0:09:15 > 0:09:20terrorist attacks where a lot of people have died.And is there a
0:09:20 > 0:09:25message, about him saying he will not back down in terms of Brexit and
0:09:25 > 0:09:29has May backed down?Well, he does want to be the Prime Minister
0:09:29 > 0:09:35eventually. A lot of politicians have that idea.
0:09:35 > 0:09:43Goodness me, now the Times the Bitcoin bonanza takes hold of the
0:09:43 > 0:09:49wormed markets? Laney?I didn't know hot air cost so much. What are
0:09:49 > 0:09:54Bitcoins. It is a cryptow currency that people are getting excited
0:09:54 > 0:10:01about and spending up to £20,000 just for one wit coin but I'm not
0:10:01 > 0:10:08sure. I had a conversation with a student who was thinking of buying
0:10:08 > 0:10:14into the crypto currency. There are others on the markets but I just
0:10:14 > 0:10:21find the whole thing, there is nothing tangible. I'm not sure where
0:10:21 > 0:10:25you spend your Bitcoins, and also the volatility in the markets in
0:10:25 > 0:10:32terms of worth. It is massive.Bitcoins are doing
0:10:32 > 0:10:38better than the pound?They are but it looks like it will be a bubble.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42I heard earlier on the BBC, somebody being interviewed, it is the fear of
0:10:42 > 0:10:47missing out. They are piling money into it, as they are seeing others
0:10:47 > 0:10:52piling money into it. The bubble will burst.
0:10:52 > 0:10:57Robert Skiller has told the Times it will crash. There is a warning.
0:10:57 > 0:11:06Good luck everyone. -- Robert Schiller.
0:11:06 > 0:11:10Now, Gordon Ramsey, he is complaining that too many are coming
0:11:10 > 0:11:15into the restaurant complaining that they are intolerant of gluten,
0:11:15 > 0:11:26wheat, garlic or tomato. It says here that 50 customers -- in
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Raymond Blanc's restaurant, that 50 customers come in with issues over
0:11:31 > 0:11:35food. The reality is if you have allergies, you have allergies, no
0:11:35 > 0:11:41chef wants to put themselves in a position where they have a customer
0:11:41 > 0:11:45who has turned ill because of a result of this.
0:11:45 > 0:11:52It can be serious.He is talking about people who are saying that
0:11:52 > 0:11:57they are gassy when they have eggs, which I'm sure a lot of people do.
0:11:57 > 0:12:04But he says it is part of the trendy eating culture. I suppose if they
0:12:04 > 0:12:09are 50 customers, getting their bespoke dishes from Raymond Blanc,
0:12:09 > 0:12:15you would feel rather special. He is a Michelin starred chef,
0:12:15 > 0:12:19surely he can cope?As customers we are demanding the things we want. It
0:12:19 > 0:12:24is not cheap to eat in a two-star Michelin restaurant.
0:12:24 > 0:12:28It maybing showing that food in this country has changed so much that
0:12:28 > 0:12:33people are, there are so many things in food making us ill, that people
0:12:33 > 0:12:37don't know what good food is anymore, they haven't tasted it. You
0:12:37 > 0:12:41can see why people are going in there, saying that they have
0:12:41 > 0:12:48intolerances, as we are being fed a load of old rubbish!Now, your
0:12:48 > 0:12:52paper, the Express, just for a change has talked about the weather.
0:12:52 > 0:13:01We talk about Brexit as well!Look at this headline, freezing chaos!
0:13:01 > 0:13:07Well a lot of our readers are 60 plus. They don't live down here in
0:13:07 > 0:13:11trendy media London land, living in nice heated homes, many can't afford
0:13:11 > 0:13:15to heat their homes over winter. They need to know what it will be
0:13:15 > 0:13:20like. Lurks travel, there will be chaos over the next few days, it
0:13:20 > 0:13:25will be very, very cold.I think you are right. We can mock the idea of
0:13:25 > 0:13:32chaos, snow, all of the rest of it, it's going to be minus 12 in parts.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37In some parts it will be snowing and it does affect a lot of people. Old
0:13:37 > 0:13:42people can't leave their homes as a result of it. So I hear you.And you
0:13:42 > 0:13:48get nice pictures. Everyone likes to see a nice bit of
0:13:48 > 0:13:52snow. And as we are coming up to
0:13:52 > 0:13:56Christmas, it's a nice festive paper!Michael and Laney, thank you
0:13:56 > 0:14:02both very much indeed. That's it for tonight's Paperers. You can see the
