0:00:17 > 0:00:19Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be

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

0:00:20 > 0:00:22With me are the poltical commentator Daisy McAndrew

0:00:22 > 0:00:24and the Telegraph's Brexit commissioning Editor, Asa Bennett.

0:00:24 > 0:00:25Tomorrow's front pages, starting with

0:00:25 > 0:00:32the Daily Mirror, which leads with problems in the Health Service.

0:00:32 > 0:00:36The Guardian also goes with the NHS, and a call from hospitals for more

0:00:36 > 0:00:41funding, as well as an image of Serena Williams with her new baby.

0:00:41 > 0:00:43The Metro reports that disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein has

0:00:43 > 0:00:46been attacked in a restaurant.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49The Financial Times says

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Chancellor Phillip Hammond is in Germany trying to drum up

0:00:53 > 0:00:57enthusiasm for a post-Brexit trade deal between the EU and the UK.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59The Express claims there is a way to treat

0:00:59 > 0:01:01diabetes without using drugs.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02The Telegraph reports

0:01:02 > 0:01:05that Justine Greening, who left her job as Education

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Secretary on Monday, blocked a review which might have

0:01:07 > 0:01:11recommended cutting tuition fees.

0:01:11 > 0:01:14The Sun has news of another notorious rapist who could soon be

0:01:14 > 0:01:17considered for parole.

0:01:17 > 0:01:18And the Mail says

0:01:18 > 0:01:20the Prime Minister pledging to crack down on the use

0:01:20 > 0:01:25of disposable plastic.

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Yes, we have a little bit more on that, her announcement coming

0:01:29 > 0:01:38tomorrow on this poor on waste. But we will start with...What else?

0:01:38 > 0:01:45What else? Brexit! Don't you just love it? I want to start with Daisy.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50Hammond seeks to whip up EU enthusiasm for Brexit trade deal.

0:01:50 > 0:01:57One would sincerely hope the Chancellor would be doing that, but

0:01:57 > 0:02:02what he wants is a specific deal for certain sectors.He does, but also

0:02:02 > 0:02:07this illustrates or illuminates why these negotiations are so torturous,

0:02:07 > 0:02:12because of course every country has its own constituency looking over

0:02:12 > 0:02:15its shoulder, wanting it. For instance he is in Germany, talking

0:02:15 > 0:02:23the Germans, and saying you're not being terribly fair to us, as in you

0:02:23 > 0:02:26want to put the brakes on it, you want to punish ask for your to have

0:02:26 > 0:02:29less talk of punishment and more talk of cooperation and the Germans

0:02:29 > 0:02:32are thinking of course we want to punish you, you don't want anyone

0:02:32 > 0:02:37else to take your example and follow you down your part. So it is

0:02:37 > 0:02:41completely obvious. A lovely quote the FT has here from a German

0:02:41 > 0:02:49official, who says they were very distressed that we Brits wanted a

0:02:49 > 0:02:53bespoke deal, a Kuchar ordeal rather than just doing a Canada or a Norway

0:02:53 > 0:02:58and which would have been much simpler for them. They quote is we

0:02:58 > 0:03:03are pleased they, that's us, finally dropped it and now it is back like a

0:03:03 > 0:03:06zombie. Sounds like the same old story. But of course we don't just

0:03:06 > 0:03:09want to do a Canada or a Norway, of course we want a bespoke deal, it is

0:03:09 > 0:03:16a statement of the obvious.We want to be down Savile Row, not top shop,

0:03:16 > 0:03:22that is it.And in fine British fashion, not Canadian or Norwegian.

0:03:22 > 0:03:27English trade, no question about it! They said you have to ask us for

0:03:27 > 0:03:30permission to address how we want you to dress. I am flaying this

0:03:30 > 0:03:38metaphor to dress.You have flogged it, it is flogged.We are currently

0:03:38 > 0:03:43in the trash talk of negotiations, where there is very little detail.

0:03:43 > 0:03:53The Germans have their own quit ready first they say it is the

0:03:53 > 0:03:56latest episode of the cake and eat it sitcom. At the same point we are

0:03:56 > 0:04:01on this merry-go-round where Philip Hammond says it takes two to tango,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04and also wants Angela Merkel to signal what she is willing to give.

0:04:04 > 0:04:09The EU are saying can you tell us what you want, and they say tell us

0:04:09 > 0:04:12what you want to give first. The deadline of March is the net have to

0:04:12 > 0:04:15get this all sorted out so they will have to add flesh to these bones

0:04:15 > 0:04:20very soon.But it is scary that Angela Merkel has made it clear that

0:04:20 > 0:04:24we cannot be shopping in Savile Row, you are going to top shop. That is

0:04:24 > 0:04:27what she is saying, and as long as she maintains that, being the most

0:04:27 > 0:04:33powerful woman out of the 27, we are in trouble.She is the most powerful

0:04:33 > 0:04:37and she is not, we don't even have a -- she doesn't even have a

0:04:37 > 0:04:40government. We are reviewing the British papers, quite rightly, but

0:04:40 > 0:04:43if we were reviewing the European papers, the story would not be in

0:04:43 > 0:04:49any of them. Their interest, involvement, passion for Brexit is

0:04:49 > 0:04:52absolutely rock bottom. Most of these countries have their own

0:04:52 > 0:04:55significant problems, and are quite happy to let the politicians get on

0:04:55 > 0:04:59with it, and there is public interest. They have their own fish

0:04:59 > 0:05:03to fry.The whole of the 27 would say they have one overriding

0:05:03 > 0:05:09constituency, or one overriding interest, maintaining the European

0:05:09 > 0:05:14Union as an entity in the first place.And getting themselves

0:05:14 > 0:05:18re-elected, as all politicians want at the end of the day.If they give

0:05:18 > 0:05:22Britain too good a deal, then the other member states...They can do

0:05:22 > 0:05:27that too. Interesting this one, Greening, Telegraph, blocked

0:05:27 > 0:05:35situation the cuts.Justine Greening's departure from cabinet

0:05:35 > 0:05:40seem to be the does -- the surprise of the reshuffle. Nick Timothy, her

0:05:40 > 0:05:44former chief of staff has come along with a page in the Telegraph to

0:05:44 > 0:05:48explain why. In short, she wasn't radical enough. The Prime Minister

0:05:48 > 0:05:57he believes did want to do real hard stuff on tuition fees, instead it

0:05:57 > 0:06:00was this namby-pamby cuts, diet basically, not proper Conservative

0:06:00 > 0:06:06thinking. So he is very commentary about her replacement, a chap called

0:06:06 > 0:06:11Damian Hinds. Already touted as a potential Prime Minister. I checked

0:06:11 > 0:06:17on various betting websites before I came on.As you do, but what about

0:06:17 > 0:06:25this issue? (!)Did you put a bet on?It is a very complicated move.

0:06:25 > 0:06:36People did think this was someone, a lesbian cabinet Minister, very much

0:06:36 > 0:06:40a moderniser...The face of modern Britain in some regards. But I heard

0:06:40 > 0:06:45an interview that was done with an educationalist or somebody who knew

0:06:45 > 0:06:48the sector very well, saying what Justin Greening actually did as

0:06:48 > 0:06:54Education Secretary was stopped a lot of things, and that excess.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Grammar schools, continuing sets tests, and it would seem, some might

0:06:57 > 0:07:02argue, this as well. Then in fact one of her accomplishments. Things

0:07:02 > 0:07:06are really radical elements within Conservative thinking as to where

0:07:06 > 0:07:10education should be getting.I think they were the element she found a

0:07:10 > 0:07:18mental disagree with. I am sorry she has gone. I think Nick Timothy had

0:07:18 > 0:07:25an awful lot to do with the fact.He says he didn't.And you believe him?

0:07:25 > 0:07:29Also says he doesn't want to get back into politics, he is desperate

0:07:29 > 0:07:35to, either elected or unelected. Lots of rumours he has been on the

0:07:35 > 0:07:40phone to Theresa May advising who to get rid of and who not to. He has

0:07:40 > 0:07:44been furious since Jo Johnson, Boris's brother, the other one

0:07:44 > 0:07:48sacked in education, and Justin Greening cut the kibosh on the Prime

0:07:48 > 0:07:53Minister's, elements of the speech at party Conference, he wrote a very

0:07:53 > 0:07:57damning article in the Sun about Justin Greening, totally

0:07:57 > 0:08:01pooh-poohing her social mobility policies. So there is no love lost,

0:08:01 > 0:08:06no great surprise he's rubbing his hands with glee now she has been got

0:08:06 > 0:08:14rid of.And out of Paton. A -- now up to the Iyer.

0:08:20 > 0:08:22Theresa May's long-term vision, trying to show she has other things

0:08:22 > 0:08:28to think about other than Brexit. Very ambitious, the five the bag

0:08:28 > 0:08:31charge extended the small retailers. She would talk passionately about

0:08:31 > 0:08:34the deluge of plastic on our beaches and said she could even expand the

0:08:34 > 0:08:40tax to things like coffee cups and all sorts to try to get plastic free

0:08:40 > 0:08:43aisles in the supermarkets one day. In 25 years' time, somebody may may

0:08:43 > 0:08:49she be still power then? That there is a wider thing at play here. Part

0:08:49 > 0:08:57of the rain that of the Tories. It is something they are reimbursing

0:08:57 > 0:09:01again.Maybe this will have a better job of reinvigorating the government

0:09:01 > 0:09:07than the reshuffle did.Another ten great designers, the people who

0:09:07 > 0:09:10decide what stories they are promoting at any one time, will be

0:09:10 > 0:09:13absolutely delighted with tomorrow's papers. They got their story on the

0:09:13 > 0:09:18front page of at least three. They are setting the agenda, exactly what

0:09:18 > 0:09:22they want. She was on Andrew Marr at the weekend, the Prime Minister,

0:09:22 > 0:09:25saying this is her big push, all to do with younger voters. The Tory

0:09:25 > 0:09:30party and the Labour Party now has this dramatic difference in age

0:09:30 > 0:09:35group and demographic and this is what it is all about. She will not

0:09:35 > 0:09:39pursue the vote on fox hunting, very unpopular with younger voters, she

0:09:39 > 0:09:43is doing £50 million for this northern forest, which Michael Gove

0:09:43 > 0:09:47has been talking about planting 50 million trees between Manchester and

0:09:47 > 0:09:52Bradford. These policies will take an awful long time. There won't be

0:09:52 > 0:09:55any obvious results for a long time but it is all to do with

0:09:55 > 0:10:08demographics.Trees instead of a rail line. Onto the mirror. Daisy,

0:10:08 > 0:10:13hospital departments heaving with patients who have been in A&E 13

0:10:13 > 0:10:16hours, this testimony from one doctor, I think. But the service

0:10:16 > 0:10:19that gives so much to all of a sudden I've is on force of goodwill

0:10:19 > 0:10:27alone. Don't forget us, defend us please.A very powerful front page,

0:10:27 > 0:10:32of course it is the Daily Mirror, obviously a very strong story. We

0:10:32 > 0:10:35saw Jeremy Corbyn going on the NHS for obvious reasons at Prime

0:10:35 > 0:10:41Minister's Questions. People are very worried about NHS in crisis

0:10:41 > 0:10:48will stop the only thing I would say is that, like you have clarified, I

0:10:48 > 0:10:52have covered NHS stories for a very long time. You can always get

0:10:52 > 0:10:56somebody to save the NHS is in crisis. I am not saying it is not in

0:10:56 > 0:11:01crisis, we have operations being cancelled, people not getting

0:11:01 > 0:11:06treatment, but the NHS is almost unique, in that if you want hospital

0:11:06 > 0:11:09director or a surgeon, if you ask them the question is it in crisis or

0:11:09 > 0:11:14not, they will always say yes, because it gives them negotiating

0:11:14 > 0:11:18influence, and there will always be a need for more money for so we have

0:11:18 > 0:11:22a growing, ageing population and it is slightly like the boy who cried

0:11:22 > 0:11:27wolf, because this is a crisis. I am sure it is a crisis. But we have

0:11:27 > 0:11:31been here 70 times before with Prime Minister is being put on the rack.

0:11:31 > 0:11:36The problem is with the NHS it is always a political football and you

0:11:36 > 0:11:39can't get the politicians to sit down and be grown up about it

0:11:39 > 0:11:41because they know how money votes there are in it.Absolutely, which

0:11:41 > 0:11:45is why you have the Daily Mirror, a left-wing paper, pushing this, very

0:11:45 > 0:11:53important, and frankly Acer, this is their Achilles' heel.It is

0:11:53 > 0:11:59something that Jeremy Hunt feels the pain in a sense because he did say

0:11:59 > 0:12:04the MPs that the NHS would need significantly more funding over the

0:12:04 > 0:12:10next ten years. He is wanting a solution. Both sides can match for

0:12:10 > 0:12:13ten years' time. A lot of people dress it up with talk of the Royal

0:12:13 > 0:12:20commission, which Nick Timothy at one point back.Our old friend!Some

0:12:20 > 0:12:27people say it is a way of hitting it into the long grass. But both sides

0:12:27 > 0:12:34can honour and direct and deliver. In theory. The Guardian, spend now

0:12:34 > 0:12:39to rescue NHS, Hunt is urged. I want to go because we have done that to

0:12:39 > 0:12:49the metro. Wine stain attacked -- wine Harvey Weinstein attacked and

0:12:49 > 0:12:56restaurant. Not far from the clinic where he is getting counsel for sex

0:12:56 > 0:13:01addiction.I am sure he is attacked most days when he ventures out of

0:13:01 > 0:13:13his six clinic. This is a chap who admits to the MZ, the Hollywood

0:13:13 > 0:13:17journalist agency committee asked for a selfie, who was told no, and

0:13:17 > 0:13:20then he went and slapped him. I suspect this guy just wanted to get

0:13:20 > 0:13:25himself some publicity, so I am afraid I am pooh-poohing this story.

0:13:25 > 0:13:33Very briefly, I am with you on that, someone's finger bitten off with a

0:13:33 > 0:13:37wild boar. You're be careful in the Forest of Dean, there are feral wild

0:13:37 > 0:13:45boars. That is why they are called wild boars.They have only been

0:13:45 > 0:13:51there since the 1990s. They were hunted into extinction hundreds of

0:13:51 > 0:13:56years ago. And then some were released accidentally from a farm in

0:13:56 > 0:14:02the 1990s, and have been breeding like wild boars.Rampaging wild

0:14:02 > 0:14:10boars stopwe had a rampaging wild camera there, it just went all over

0:14:10 > 0:14:14the place and stop you are still with us and we are still with you.

0:14:14 > 0:14:23Thank you. Thank you for watching. You can see all of the front pages

0:14:23 > 0:14:30online. If you missed the programme any time, grabbed the Horlicks if it

0:14:30 > 0:14:35is late at night and watch it on iPlayer. You will see Daisy and Asa

0:14:35 > 0:14:38of course, and me. Sorry about that. Goodbye.
