That's it from me and the Sportsday
team. Good night. | 0:00:00 | 0:00:06 | |
Hello and welcome to our look ahead
to what the the papers will be | 0:00:16 | 0:00:19 | |
bringing us tomorrow. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:20 | |
With me are Martin Bentham,
Home Affairs Editor | 0:00:20 | 0:00:22 | |
of the Evening Standard,
and the Political | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
strategist Jo Tanner. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
Good evening to you both. Tomorrow's
front pages. | 0:00:28 | 0:00:34 | |
The I says "Boris slugs it
out with the Bear" - | 0:00:34 | 0:00:42 | |
as it reports on the Foreign
Secretary's frosty visit to Moscow. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:46 | |
The Times pictures Boris Johnson
on his Russian trip -- | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
it's main story is about claims
the government is considering a new | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
road toll charge to cut congestion. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:52 | |
The FT reports on the drop | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
in the value of Bitcoin
which tumbled by almost 30 per cent. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
(ANI) <MAIL> The Mail looks
at the new blue passports set | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
for Britain following Brexit -
with calls that they should | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
be produced here too. | 0:01:04 | 0:01:05 | |
But for the Guardian the new blue
passports mean further red tape and | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
delays at EU passport controls. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
The Telegraph
reports on what it calls a tax | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
revenge on tycoons who bankrolled
Brexit, as some Leave donors accused | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
HMRC of a "political attack". | 0:01:17 | 0:01:23 | |
It's going to be a balmy Christmas, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:25 | |
according to the Express,
as the mild weather fools nature | 0:01:25 | 0:01:27 | |
into thinking it's Spring. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
And it's Bar Humbug from the Sun -- | 0:01:28 | 0:01:30 | |
it reports on U.S-owned Cadbury
replacing the traditional Fudge bar | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
from it's festive selection box,
with a Dairy Milk Oreo - | 0:01:33 | 0:01:35 | |
one frustrated fan fumed
"Christmas is ruined". | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
That was too many Fs for me! Let's
go to the front page of the i | 0:01:39 | 0:01:50 | |
newspaper. Boris slugging it out
with the bear. Boris looks a bit | 0:01:50 | 0:01:57 | |
bear- like in that photo. Any
surprises in the fact that it was a | 0:01:57 | 0:02:02 | |
difficult meeting. I guess it was
not set up to be a particularly | 0:02:02 | 0:02:06 | |
friendly event. I think the comments
from the Prime Minister about, we | 0:02:06 | 0:02:09 | |
know what you have been doing, --
the comments from the Foreign | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
Minister, what he said in the
autumn, we have kind of been | 0:02:13 | 0:02:18 | |
expecting that, I don't know if
anyone expected the meeting to go | 0:02:18 | 0:02:23 | |
quite the way that it did with talk
about Kettle chips being exported, | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
Boris made quite a few interesting
comments and there was a most | 0:02:27 | 0:02:32 | |
bizarre exchange over trust and
Boris talking about how he trusted | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
his Russian counterpart so much that
he gave him the contents of his | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
pockets. And the Russian replied
that there was nothing in the | 0:02:39 | 0:02:49 | |
pockets! He had had a look! Martin,
what was so remarkable about this is | 0:02:49 | 0:02:55 | |
that one imagines that these
exchanges take place behind closed | 0:02:55 | 0:02:57 | |
doors but this lease to confront
gushy take place in front of the | 0:02:57 | 0:03:04 | |
world's media. Mum we've had tense
relationships of services poisoning | 0:03:04 | 0:03:09 | |
of Alexander Litvinenko and then you
had Crimea and Ukraine and Russia's | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
involvement in Syria, which led to
the cancellation of a previous trip | 0:03:14 | 0:03:22 | |
by Boris Johnson. In a way it is
progress that he has gone there, and | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
despite the fact that there is this
open exchange of disagreement and | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
Boris is raising issues like LGBT
rights, deliberately making this | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
points to the Russians, I think he
had to do these things, you can't | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
pretend that there are not
differences but I think the Russians | 0:03:39 | 0:03:43 | |
would understand probably that there
are those differences and we are | 0:03:43 | 0:03:46 | |
going to say that. But maybe there
will be a bit of progress towards | 0:03:46 | 0:03:52 | |
getting some sort of co-operation.
If you look elsewhere in the world, | 0:03:52 | 0:03:57 | |
sanctions against North Korea, not
down to us but the Russians have | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
come on-board there soap engagement,
sometimes if it does not very | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
friendly, underlying and there can
be progress towards getting better | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
relationships and better working
together which is maybe what we | 0:04:12 | 0:04:16 | |
ultimately want. As look at the
front page of The Times. It's got a | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
picture of the Foreign Secretary
that is on one of the other front | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
pages as well. It is a great picture
opportunity Jo, for Boris, isn't it. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:31 | |
I used to work with him and you know
there's a fantastic image which has | 0:04:31 | 0:04:41 | |
been used in a few places. Boris
will often uses facial expressions | 0:04:41 | 0:04:49 | |
and behaviour, this really iconic
backdrop, he was probably saying | 0:04:49 | 0:05:03 | |
something very important about time!
It's meant to look as if he's | 0:05:03 | 0:05:09 | |
wagging his finger at the Russians.
A striking image. Better than the | 0:05:09 | 0:05:19 | |
one in the i newspaper which has
with his eyes closed. The | 0:05:19 | 0:05:24 | |
photographer has done in some
favours. Let's look at the story on | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
the front page of The Times, wrote
to tell revolution. What is this | 0:05:27 | 0:05:31 | |
about? A long-standing theme which
has been going on for ages and never | 0:05:31 | 0:05:37 | |
quite been realised about having
road risings. They are charged per | 0:05:37 | 0:05:46 | |
mile. There's a lot of logic to that
because of people are creating more | 0:05:46 | 0:05:52 | |
pollution by driving more than
theoretically perhaps they should | 0:05:52 | 0:05:55 | |
pay more. Hitherto it has always
been difficult to have the | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
technology to make that work, things
advance with the congestion charge | 0:05:58 | 0:06:04 | |
in London overseen by cameras,
perhaps it becomes more and more | 0:06:04 | 0:06:10 | |
possible, clearly the Road haulage
Association, lorry drivers are | 0:06:10 | 0:06:13 | |
complaining about it, lorry drivers
suggesting they will be penalised | 0:06:13 | 0:06:21 | |
unfairly and so on. Given the move
towards electric cars, the amount of | 0:06:21 | 0:06:29 | |
tax that the government will get
from Phil be one of those areas they | 0:06:29 | 0:06:34 | |
are looking at at to tinker with,
that will go down. They've got to | 0:06:34 | 0:06:37 | |
make up that money from car users
somewhere else this is the obvious | 0:06:37 | 0:06:42 | |
next step. Strange you would start
with lorries, they will become the | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
last vehicles become electric. If
you think what will be popular with | 0:06:46 | 0:06:54 | |
the electorate, going after them
will not be popular so start with | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
the lorries. They are the most
polluting vehicles generally because | 0:06:57 | 0:07:01 | |
they began to have big engines so
there is a logic to it from that | 0:07:01 | 0:07:04 | |
point of view. The ultimate reason
for it is money raising in one | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
sense. At the same time there's also
an to deter people from using their | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
cars and necessarily, or if they are
using their vehicles and | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
necessarily, therefore they have to
deal with the consequences of that | 0:07:17 | 0:07:26 | |
pollution which is killing people.
The front page of the Telegraph has | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
a different story, tax revenge on
bank tycoons who bankroll Brexit. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:43 | |
They are revealing that normally if
people make donations to political | 0:07:43 | 0:07:52 | |
parties, the referendum was not
about political parties but those | 0:07:52 | 0:07:54 | |
who donated to that, apparently the
HMRC has discovered that there is an | 0:07:54 | 0:08:02 | |
obscure area of inheritance tax
which forces people to pay a tax on | 0:08:02 | 0:08:06 | |
large gifts upfront, although it
does not explain precisely how and | 0:08:06 | 0:08:09 | |
why it works. What they are saying
here is, this is hitting in | 0:08:09 | 0:08:15 | |
particular people who donated to the
Brexit campaign. I think that | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
particular interpretation of it is
seen as an anti-Brexit attack on | 0:08:19 | 0:08:25 | |
those who defied the establishment
which is how the Telegraph is | 0:08:25 | 0:08:30 | |
portraying it, and Jacob Rhys Mogg
is quoted as taking that approach. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:37 | |
The bigger issue is that there are
of accountants whose phones will | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
have been ringing off the hook as
these letters arrived, saying, hang | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
on a minute, I thought I was OK to
donate and now you tell me I will | 0:08:45 | 0:08:49 | |
get a big tax bill! It lists several
people who have received tax | 0:08:49 | 0:08:55 | |
demands. I imagine for many it will
have come out of the blue. You made | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
the point earlier, how often does
the referendum, long? You suspect | 0:08:58 | 0:09:05 | |
many accountants would not even have
looked into it, or as in the case of | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
political donations a significant
amount of people are political | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
donors anyway so we'll have assumed
it is a similar type of arrangement | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
and so will have been really caught
by this. This is why it is an | 0:09:17 | 0:09:22 | |
interesting story, this unusual
aspect of tax law which I suspect | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
will eventually end up in court,
there will be litigation between | 0:09:25 | 0:09:29 | |
accountants and lawyers contesting
this interpretation of the law! But | 0:09:29 | 0:09:32 | |
it is interesting that this is what
HMRC sees as the law and is trying | 0:09:32 | 0:09:40 | |
to enforce it. Jo, the other story
on the front page of the Telegraph | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
is from the head of Tesco's about
food wasting. Dave Lewis, who has | 0:09:45 | 0:09:50 | |
been at Tesco since 2014 has
announced that leftover food will | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
not be thrown away any more and
instead will go to charities will be | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
used for animal food or fuel. It's a
really interesting move because | 0:09:58 | 0:10:03 | |
there's been a lot of talk about
food waste. Previous campaigns on | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
the issue, as those working with an
organisation called Fare Share, a | 0:10:07 | 0:10:15 | |
distribution organisation.
Interesting that I was looking at | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
the story and saying, this is
interesting for a supermarket to | 0:10:20 | 0:10:25 | |
make this attack because the
government are now looking at waste | 0:10:25 | 0:10:29 | |
but are looking at things like
plastic. We know that Michael Gove | 0:10:29 | 0:10:33 | |
is moving towards looking at things
like the single use plastics and | 0:10:33 | 0:10:38 | |
reducing them and that is one area
where supermarkets really do have a | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
problem. So what better way to get
attention to something else by | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
working out what you can do with
waste food. Aunties explicit about | 0:10:48 | 0:10:55 | |
getting attention although not
necessarily about plastic. And this | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
is a good idea. It is ridiculous
that food is just thrown away. On an | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
individual level I will eat anything
that, I've seen things taken off the | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
shelf because they are out of date,
I think, I will give something for | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
that, but they say, we can't sell
you that, it's insane. In this case | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
it will go to charities or animal
food or fuel or whatever. Anything | 0:11:15 | 0:11:22 | |
that can tackle waste, we are such
wasteful nation, anything that | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
tackles waste needs to be welcomed.
This resonates particularly at | 0:11:26 | 0:11:31 | |
Christmas. People are more conscious
about plastics and so on, about | 0:11:31 | 0:11:36 | |
environmental damage. It is all part
of the bigger picture. Of exactly | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
that, making sure that we are not
just wasting goods, whether it | 0:11:40 | 0:11:46 | |
close, food, excessive use of
plastic and so on. Absolutely. Jo, a | 0:11:46 | 0:11:53 | |
story about Michael Gove is on the
front of the Financial Times, warm | 0:11:53 | 0:11:58 | |
glow fading as Michael loaf is urged
to smoke out -- Michael Gove is | 0:11:58 | 0:12:05 | |
urged to smoke out devotees of wood
burning. It evokes the images of | 0:12:05 | 0:12:14 | |
people sitting around a roaring fire
but actually there's been a growing | 0:12:14 | 0:12:18 | |
move against the use of wood burning
stoves. A lot of people have log | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
burners installed, it's become
fashionable again. Despite the use | 0:12:24 | 0:12:28 | |
of smokeless fuels there are
concerns that there are many of | 0:12:28 | 0:12:31 | |
these fires being used and Sadiq
Khan had previously announced that | 0:12:31 | 0:12:37 | |
he had written to Michael Gove in
September, and wants to ban them in | 0:12:37 | 0:12:43 | |
some areas because of issues about
air quality. The government is now | 0:12:43 | 0:12:50 | |
looking at regulations to deter the
burning of damp wood which | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
apparently produces more smoke and
there also particular smoky types of | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
coal being looked at. It makes a
very interesting point at the end of | 0:12:59 | 0:13:03 | |
the story, saying the spokesman
asked about this story declined to | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
come and other Michael Gove has a
wood-burning stove. We know that | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
he's just moved into a new house so
it might have been the stove he was | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
going for and he will have to get
rid of it! It's so warm now he won't | 0:13:16 | 0:13:23 | |
need one! Martin, the front page of
the daily Star, a royal race row, | 0:13:23 | 0:13:28 | |
what has triggered this. Princess
Michael has been wearing a Bridge, | 0:13:28 | 0:13:43 | |
apparently popular many years ago,
-- she's been wearing a brooch, and | 0:13:43 | 0:13:50 | |
it is seen as an offence of colonial
era depiction, and apparently she | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
wore this to meet Meghan Markle who
is of course of mixed ethnicity. And | 0:13:54 | 0:14:00 | |
whether she knew she was doing this
or not, I suspect not, she has | 0:14:00 | 0:14:05 | |
certainly apologised for any offence
you might have caused. She may have | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
had no idea about the sensitivity.
That is what the story is. It isn't | 0:14:09 | 0:14:14 | |
clear that anybody at the lunch was
actually offended by it all that | 0:14:14 | 0:14:19 | |
Meghan Markle was. It's one of those
things that people increasingly | 0:14:19 | 0:14:28 | |
sensitive to these things, even if
these people are not affected | 0:14:28 | 0:14:30 | |
themselves, others are. This picture
in one of the newspaper which shows | 0:14:30 | 0:14:38 | |
Princess Michael of Kent wearing the
brooch in a code pictured going into | 0:14:38 | 0:14:47 | |
Buckingham Palace and the big
meeting that the Queen has before | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
going to Sandringham, the big
gathering. We don't even know if | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
Meghan Markle saw it because the
code would have been taken off by | 0:14:55 | 0:15:00 | |
courtiers and never seen again so we
have no idea how big this story is | 0:15:00 | 0:15:04 | |
or if any offence was caused but it
is big enough to focus on. The thing | 0:15:04 | 0:15:10 | |
is the intent, if someone intends to
cause offence, that's terrible, if | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
they are simply unaware of something
that's a whole different level. And | 0:15:15 | 0:15:19 | |
we won't know that. Let me sleep in
a final story, the front page of the | 0:15:19 | 0:15:26 | |
Son. Brooch Hamburg! You used to
work there, did you like fudge. I | 0:15:26 | 0:15:39 | |
was never a great fan of these bars.
I have a child of nine and the third | 0:15:39 | 0:15:45 | |
goes first in our has as well as
growing up I wasn't bothered that a | 0:15:45 | 0:15:50 | |
nine-year-old will happily grab the
fudge straightaway. Disaster. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:57 | |
Christmas has been ruined! I don't
know how I'll break it to him. Jo, | 0:15:57 | 0:16:03 | |
Martin, thank you both. That's it
