0:00:02 > 0:00:09drastically since the Boston bombing. -- Gyllenhall. Coming up in

0:00:09 > 0:00:16the Phil Review. -- Film.

0:00:16 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

0:00:19 > 0:00:20bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22With me are the political commentator Jo Phillips

0:00:22 > 0:00:24and Nigel Nelson, political editor of the Sunday Mirror.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28Tomorrow's front pages, starting with...

0:00:28 > 0:00:33The Mail on Sunday reports that Theresa May had to intervene

0:00:33 > 0:00:35in a stand up row between the Defence Secretary

0:00:35 > 0:00:40and the Chancellor in the House of Commons.

0:00:40 > 0:00:43The Observer leads with a warning that the EU is under pressure not

0:00:43 > 0:00:47to give the UK a better trade deal than other non-member countries

0:00:47 > 0:00:49get after Brexit.

0:00:49 > 0:00:52The Sunday Express says leading Brexit supporting Mps want the UK

0:00:52 > 0:00:56to make clear it will walk away from any trade deal they don't think

0:00:57 > 0:01:00is good enough.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03The Sunday Telegraph goes with tensions within the Cabinet

0:01:03 > 0:01:06over the meaning of the commitments the Prime Minister made to move

0:01:06 > 0:01:07the Brexit talks on.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10And the Sunday Mirror reports that some delivery drivers are working 14

0:01:10 > 0:01:17hour days, it claims they're earning less than the minimum wage.

0:01:23 > 0:01:35Let keep off this hour with the Sunday express front page.This is a

0:01:35 > 0:01:38report that the Brexiteers are demanding the Theresa May should

0:01:38 > 0:01:45have demanded goldplated trade deal. If we don't get one then we say no

0:01:45 > 0:01:50more money and that's the end of it. In other words, a straightforward no

0:01:50 > 0:01:54deal and we would walk away. I'm not sure you can get away with doing no

0:01:54 > 0:01:59money. You can probably do less money. On the basis that if we did

0:01:59 > 0:02:05walk away, we would have to do it before 2019 when we're due to leave.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09One assumes the transition period wouldn't go ahead, you would save

0:02:09 > 0:02:14£20 billion that way. We would probably have to carry on paying for

0:02:14 > 0:02:19pensions as part of our obligations. Interesting about the story is we

0:02:19 > 0:02:23are getting to the next stage, really, which is what we actually

0:02:23 > 0:02:31want? The one thing Michel Barnier, Jean-Claude Juncker, Donald Tusk,

0:02:31 > 0:02:35all of them have been frustrated that Britain won't come forward with

0:02:35 > 0:02:40actually what we think the endgame is. Theresa May has a Brexit walk

0:02:40 > 0:02:44cabinet coming up to thrash it out but it is quite important now that

0:02:44 > 0:02:52when we go back to Europe, we have a clear idea of how we see our

0:02:52 > 0:02:56relationship after Brexit which we haven't got.The Sunday Express is

0:02:56 > 0:03:04quite a leash. They have them over of Durrell. -- bullish.This is what

0:03:04 > 0:03:15the Eurosceptics are clinging onto. -- barrel. That we did show signs to

0:03:15 > 0:03:19collaborate after the collapse of the TU P. That is to be welcomed if

0:03:19 > 0:03:29you to anything in an negotiation. -- DUP. They seem to think that just

0:03:29 > 0:03:34because we have got to this stage then we can turn around to the EU in

0:03:34 > 0:03:40six months or 18 months' Time and say actually we won't pay you. This

0:03:40 > 0:03:46is already cementing, as if it needs any more cement, the hard lines

0:03:46 > 0:03:52between the Brexiteers and the Remainers. It all comes down to this

0:03:52 > 0:03:57thing, in the event of no deal, the UK will maintain full alignment with

0:03:57 > 0:04:00the customs union and the single market when it comes to the Irish

0:04:00 > 0:04:07border. And continuing to abide by all of the EU's will. It is all

0:04:07 > 0:04:14about semantics. It is a positive headline for the Prime Minister,

0:04:14 > 0:04:22probably, but very...The full alignment phrase, moving on, Texas

0:04:22 > 0:04:27to the Sunday Telegraph. Much reference there about the talk in

0:04:27 > 0:04:35the Cabinet. -- takes us to the Sunday Telegraph.If you can say

0:04:35 > 0:04:41that by sending Boris Johnson to Iran, that keep him out of the way,

0:04:41 > 0:04:46that is one way of looking at it. There is a problem between the

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Brexiteers and the Remainers. The Brexiteers are so keen to walk away

0:04:50 > 0:04:56from Europe that they would almost, you know, do anything just to be

0:04:56 > 0:05:00able to say, we have done it, we have done it, we are out of Europe,

0:05:00 > 0:05:04regardless of the consequences. That comes back to the point that Nigel

0:05:04 > 0:05:07made that it is difficult for the Prime Minister and the negotiating

0:05:07 > 0:05:11team and it is not just David Davis, it is an army of civil servants and

0:05:11 > 0:05:15lawyers and what have you. It is difficult for them to go there if it

0:05:15 > 0:05:21is not clear what we want.Now we get to the next stage which is we

0:05:21 > 0:05:25ought to be honest because if we can lay on the table, at the moment,

0:05:25 > 0:05:28we're not saying anything. We are arguing that we must keep

0:05:28 > 0:05:33negotiating position close to a chest. Now we are moving into trade

0:05:33 > 0:05:37talks and the question is why should we? Let's say this is what we want,

0:05:37 > 0:05:42we then negotiate to get there and see how far we go but at least if

0:05:42 > 0:05:46you utterly knew what we were going towards... We would speed up the

0:05:46 > 0:05:53negotiations but it would be the best way of helping both sides come

0:05:53 > 0:05:58to some kind of deal.Because they have been negotiating on these three

0:05:58 > 0:06:03issues which we have gotten past, to a degree, only now would it be the

0:06:03 > 0:06:07right moment to say this is what we want in the future. If that is their

0:06:07 > 0:06:11argument? S there is a point you have to take it step-by-step and I

0:06:11 > 0:06:19always knew Northern Ireland will be a major sticking point.-- there is

0:06:19 > 0:06:24a point you have to take. You have to do a bit by bit but you have to

0:06:24 > 0:06:32know what your endgame is.Talking of truces or not, Nigel, this is the

0:06:32 > 0:06:37Mail on Sunday which is talking about a bust up.This was an all out

0:06:37 > 0:06:42war and it was between the Defence Secretary David Williamson and the

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Chancellor Philip Hammond. According to the Mail on Sunday, their

0:06:45 > 0:06:49simmering feud, as they put it, turned into a full-scale shouting

0:06:49 > 0:06:57match. Dependent on which side you listen to, it seems that Gavin

0:06:57 > 0:07:03Williamson thinks the Chancellor wants to cut the army down to

0:07:03 > 0:07:0850,000. The chancellor says he doesn't want to do this at all. We

0:07:08 > 0:07:17then get insults thrown both ways. They went toe to toe in the Commons.

0:07:17 > 0:07:25It sounds like dancing.The Chancellor calls Gavin Williamson...

0:07:25 > 0:07:30I don't think it is the Chancellor, I think it is people in his

0:07:30 > 0:07:38department.This is his description of him.Pike as in Dad's Army.The

0:07:38 > 0:07:45stupid boy. We have this full-scale row and the backdrop to this, of

0:07:45 > 0:07:49course, is whether or not Gavin Williamson is thinking in terms of

0:07:49 > 0:07:57succeeding Theresa May when she finally goes.Well! And neat segue.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01Simon Walters, political editor of the Mail on Sunday has actually done

0:08:01 > 0:08:06exactly this and point out the remarkable similarity between the

0:08:06 > 0:08:11Gavin Williamson's meteoric rise into the Cabinet to that is John

0:08:11 > 0:08:18Major in 1990. Then you had Margaret Thatcher with the blonde bombshell

0:08:18 > 0:08:24Michael Heseltine seen as her net -- natural successor. She would have

0:08:24 > 0:08:32rather had anything happen than that. Now you have the same with

0:08:32 > 0:08:38Gavin Williamson. Interestingly, it is said in other reports that he has

0:08:38 > 0:08:42now aligned himself with Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, giving a

0:08:42 > 0:08:51majority, albeit a slim one, to the Brexiteers in the Cabinet. You know,

0:08:51 > 0:08:56he is siding with dubious people. Let's move on and talk of other

0:08:56 > 0:09:02things. Among them, fast tracked degrees. It takes us back to the

0:09:02 > 0:09:05Telegraph and it is the suggestion that they ought to be two-year

0:09:05 > 0:09:09degrees rather than three.Yes, I think a lot of people would think it

0:09:09 > 0:09:15is a jolly good idea. Now, this is not least of all, it would save a

0:09:15 > 0:09:17considerable amount of money. It would also get people into

0:09:17 > 0:09:22employment a lot quicker. But I think what is significant is that

0:09:22 > 0:09:29this is about universities having to offer more value for money.It is as

0:09:29 > 0:09:34well as three.Exactly. But it is a choice you can take and it will be

0:09:34 > 0:09:40unveiled by the government tomorrow, and Joe Johnson who is the

0:09:40 > 0:09:45universities minister thinks it is skewed in favour of traditional

0:09:45 > 0:09:51degrees and offers a pitifully low number of courses. This comes at a

0:09:51 > 0:09:56time when there is an enormous fury over the vast salaries being paid to

0:09:56 > 0:10:01vice chancellors and senior university staff. Because if you

0:10:01 > 0:10:05introduce fees, you are then putting students in the role of consumers

0:10:05 > 0:10:09and therefore they will expect more for their money. This is a good way

0:10:09 > 0:10:13of seeing whether they can get it. The figure suggested is quite

0:10:13 > 0:10:20significant.It is suggesting that it would save the students £25,000.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25It is a bit of a sleight of hand because you would save 5500 on

0:10:25 > 0:10:31tuition fees although you would be paying 20% more for each year. That

0:10:31 > 0:10:37it still gives you 5500 and you get this extra money besides you won't

0:10:37 > 0:10:41have to take out a maintenance loan fee of third-year is the fact that

0:10:41 > 0:10:49most students get a job afterwards. 19,000 is the average amount.I will

0:10:49 > 0:10:52squeeze to mooring in the last 2.5 minutes. Civil partnerships to go

0:10:52 > 0:10:58straight. Something that has been speculated upon for a while.Indeed.

0:10:58 > 0:11:05Again, absolutely right. A private members bill. The idea is to try and

0:11:05 > 0:11:09basically bring the law into line for both heterosexual and homosexual

0:11:09 > 0:11:15couples. Very sensible. It should have been done a while ago. The only

0:11:15 > 0:11:18reason that heterosexual couples couldn't enter into civil

0:11:18 > 0:11:27partnerships was the argument that gay couples were in civil

0:11:27 > 0:11:30partnerships because they couldn't get married and of course now they

0:11:30 > 0:11:35can get married and this is simply a matter of equality so everyone's

0:11:35 > 0:11:39then can either have a civil partnership or get married.And it's

0:11:39 > 0:11:43sensible for all those reasons but also it actually makes it a lot

0:11:43 > 0:11:47easier for cohabiting couples to put things on a much better footing in

0:11:47 > 0:11:56terms of pension rights and wheels, property. -- wills to stop people

0:11:56 > 0:12:01make the mistake that because people have lived together for 100 years

0:12:01 > 0:12:08they are treated as a married couple and they are not. -- wills. It is

0:12:08 > 0:12:12Charles Keaton and Rebecca Stone fell to have their case held next

0:12:12 > 0:12:21year. I know we shouldn't promote other channels but those of us in

0:12:21 > 0:12:30political circles are familiar with the political editor of ITN. On

0:12:30 > 0:12:37first-class, I thought this was Tom Bradley. I'm sure it's not, but it

0:12:37 > 0:12:45is a man dressing after apparently emerging...Thomas is that mad.He

0:12:45 > 0:12:50was probably looking at Brexit. Why would you go into the Serpentine in

0:12:50 > 0:12:53Hyde Park in any freezing temperatures yesterday in London? I

0:12:53 > 0:12:57don't know but it is a good photograph and the lady next to him

0:12:57 > 0:13:01looks like she is ignoring it and she is quite used to seeing it.She

0:13:01 > 0:13:06is more appropriately dressed.Have either of you being tempted at this

0:13:06 > 0:13:13time of year?Know but I do live on the coast and date to have a friend

0:13:13 > 0:13:18who goes swimming at least once a week regardless of the weather.

0:13:18 > 0:13:23Hasn't appeared yet on the front of the Sunday Times.It is not

0:13:23 > 0:13:31newsworthy.That is it for the papers this hour. Thanks to Jo and

0:13:31 > 0:13:32Nigel.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35Coming up next, it's the Film Review.
