0:00:15 > 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 Rosamund Urwin, who's a columnist for
0:00:22 > 0:00:24the London Evening Standard and Michael Booker, Deputy Editor
0:00:24 > 0:00:27of the Daily Express.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31Good evening to you both. Before we speak to them both, let's take a
0:00:31 > 0:00:36look at some of the newspaper front pages. The Guardian leads on the
0:00:36 > 0:00:41condemnation by the United Nations over Donald Trump's alleged racist
0:00:41 > 0:00:44comments. The president should didn't get his hopes up about
0:00:44 > 0:00:47getting an invitation to the royal wedding according to the Daily
0:00:47 > 0:00:51Mail's lead story.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52The Mirror covers the allegations of racism
0:00:52 > 0:00:54by Chelsea coaching staff in the 1990s.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57A smiling image of Angela Merkel is on the FT, which reports
0:00:57 > 0:00:59on the German Chancellor reaching an agreement to form
0:00:59 > 0:01:00a three party coalition.
0:01:00 > 0:01:08Tips on how to halt dementia, are the top story in the Express.
0:01:08 > 0:01:11The Sun says there's pressure on the BBC to sack Radio Four
0:01:11 > 0:01:13presenter John Humphrys over comments he made off-air
0:01:13 > 0:01:17about equal pay.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19The Telegraph has an interview with the presenter,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22in which he says he didn't know he was being recorded.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24And also reports that people are being turned away
0:01:24 > 0:01:26from pharmacies without flu jabs because of low supplies.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28Meanwhile, the Daily Star has some alternative
0:01:28 > 0:01:31advice for keeping the bug at bay.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42Must read that in more detail. Let us begin... Kick us off pleased with
0:01:42 > 0:01:48the Guardian, a lot of coverage of this. United Nations, Trump's
0:01:48 > 0:01:52remarks racist and shameful. We won't have the word itself he is
0:01:52 > 0:01:55said to have used but people might not know quite what's going on here,
0:01:55 > 0:02:00please enlighten them.Yet again, Donald Trump's bigmouth has landed
0:02:00 > 0:02:06him in trouble and he has been very rude about Central American
0:02:06 > 0:02:14countries and African nations and this has resulted in the UN, human
0:02:14 > 0:02:17rights spokesman saying it's impossible to view his remarks as
0:02:17 > 0:02:25anything other than racist. American diplomats are being summoned for
0:02:25 > 0:02:31approach to leaders.I'm sure a lot of things get said in private by all
0:02:31 > 0:02:34sorts of American presidents but this was in a slightly bigger for?
0:02:34 > 0:02:39It was. A Democrat senator has come forward to sake he said these
0:02:39 > 0:02:44things. Trump at first, and this is the interesting thing, he had
0:02:44 > 0:02:48initially allowed the White House not to deny the reports of his
0:02:48 > 0:02:53comments. It has been said by plenty of people but actually these kind of
0:02:53 > 0:02:57remarks played very well with his base. He has admitted he used tough
0:02:57 > 0:03:02language but later went on to say he'd never used those words, but the
0:03:02 > 0:03:06denial was rather slow to come out. In being undiplomatic is not
0:03:06 > 0:03:11entirely new. This is the guy you want to build the wall because he
0:03:11 > 0:03:15accuse Mexicans of being rapists. This is something he is kind of use
0:03:15 > 0:03:19to and used either for or behind it. We were discussing this just before,
0:03:19 > 0:03:25there is a lot of people very angry, the UN would be very angry with this
0:03:25 > 0:03:28and call it racist, but we are still yet to see the people who voted for
0:03:28 > 0:03:31him in the first place. We don't really hear what they are saying
0:03:31 > 0:03:36about Donald Trump at the moment. Those in the liberal media and
0:03:36 > 0:03:41Western media... They think he's a terrible guy.Trump's usual enemies
0:03:41 > 0:03:45stop where exactly, getting upset every single time. The same people
0:03:45 > 0:03:49again in this country who were very happythat he won't be coming over
0:03:49 > 0:03:55to open the embassy as well. Sadiq Khan at the London mayor saying that
0:03:55 > 0:03:59he's not got our values and things like that, but does it matter to the
0:03:59 > 0:04:01people in America? Are they paying attention to the fact he isn't
0:04:01 > 0:04:06coming to open the embassy?Is the point being reached that even he
0:04:06 > 0:04:11might be going a bit far, do you think?Or is it more of the same?
0:04:11 > 0:04:17There are plenty of senior Republican politicians worried about
0:04:17 > 0:04:20this, particularly people in swing states, who are concerned they only
0:04:20 > 0:04:25need to lose a few voting points and it turns off a chunk of their voters
0:04:25 > 0:04:30they don't want to lose. Obviously, young people in America
0:04:30 > 0:04:33overwhelmingly rejected Donald Trump, those who voted, and I think
0:04:33 > 0:04:37all this stuff to them, they must be looking at their country, a lot of
0:04:37 > 0:04:42young people, and thinking how on earth as our country become this? I
0:04:42 > 0:04:47think in four years, yes maybe this stuff does build up.You get the
0:04:47 > 0:04:55impression with him anyway, when you see the Michael Wolff thing,...The
0:04:55 > 0:04:58book that came out?Yes, that he's prepared to walk away at some point.
0:04:58 > 0:05:02And the family are as well. It seems as though it was all of a bit of a
0:05:02 > 0:05:06shock to become president in the first place and he has got four
0:05:06 > 0:05:09years out of it and he likes playing the victim. If he is perceived to be
0:05:09 > 0:05:13forced out, he will play the victim for the rest of his life.We will
0:05:13 > 0:05:17never hear the end of it! Michael, staying with Donald Trump, the front
0:05:17 > 0:05:21page of the Daily Mail. As you mentioned, not coming over to open a
0:05:21 > 0:05:24new embassy, claiming he doesn't like the building or the location
0:05:24 > 0:05:27and thinks it was a bad deal, all sorts of reasons. But this is
0:05:27 > 0:05:33something else? The Royal wedding? The Daily Mail had the scoop that he
0:05:33 > 0:05:36wasn't coming over for the empty this morning, now they are saying he
0:05:36 > 0:05:39will miss the Royal wedding. This doesn't seem as incredibly well
0:05:39 > 0:05:45sourced because there doesn't... For Prince Harry Meghan Markle's big day
0:05:45 > 0:05:48in May, no invites have gone out yet so we don't know 100%. They are
0:05:48 > 0:05:53saying someone from the Royal household, some courtier, there's a
0:05:53 > 0:05:56good source in the stories! The guest list hasn't yet been
0:05:56 > 0:06:00announced, there is no reason he would be invited, though. There is
0:06:00 > 0:06:04this debate the former president, because his best friends with Harry
0:06:04 > 0:06:11and shares his liberal values that of Meghan Markle, would he be
0:06:11 > 0:06:15invited? This doesn't seem as cut and dried as this morning's Daily
0:06:15 > 0:06:19Mail, saying he wasn't coming to open up the embassy. But I can't
0:06:19 > 0:06:22imagine he would be invited. It is a lot smaller wedding this time than
0:06:22 > 0:06:28Kate and William's wedding. They are trying to contain it at Windsor, so
0:06:28 > 0:06:34I wouldn't imagine it would be a big song and dance and Obama didn't go
0:06:34 > 0:06:37to that wedding.You don't make too much buzz about things that are not
0:06:37 > 0:06:44happening!He would be interesting if Obama does get the invite.Yes,
0:06:44 > 0:06:50it would be seen as a snub.Trump's ego is fragile and would see it as a
0:06:50 > 0:06:54snub. It is in a state occasion and the guest list is drawn up by
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Buckingham Palace but the government has a consultancy role. We know
0:06:56 > 0:07:03Meghan Markle loathed him and wrote and called him divisive and
0:07:03 > 0:07:10misogynistic.The other problem is if that would be his first visit to
0:07:10 > 0:07:13this country, then all the security problems, would we want this huge
0:07:13 > 0:07:18protest outside of Windsor Castle for the Royal wedding? I can't
0:07:18 > 0:07:22imagine he would be invited to this wedding.It says Donald Trump faces
0:07:22 > 0:07:25the embarrassment of not being invited. I think that is one thing
0:07:25 > 0:07:33he doesn't suffer! OK, let's go now to the Daily
0:07:33 > 0:07:39Telegraph. Would you get us on this? This is about the dreaded flu. The
0:07:39 > 0:07:45headline probably says it's all, chemist runs short of flu jab.Yes,
0:07:45 > 0:07:48we've now on not only got to fear the Australian flu but also the
0:07:48 > 0:07:56Japanese flu and today... Sorry, today the Telegraph is saying people
0:07:56 > 0:07:59across the country were being turned away from pharmacies who had run out
0:07:59 > 0:08:04of stock of the vaccine. So there is a shortage in Cumbria and the
0:08:04 > 0:08:08Telegraph has contacted branches of Routes across the Midlands. It is
0:08:08 > 0:08:14not a cause for panic straightaway. Boots said today, it has told the
0:08:14 > 0:08:17Telegraph they would be being resupplied and swiftly. One of the
0:08:17 > 0:08:21things that comes up later in the story is high-street chemist said
0:08:21 > 0:08:25they avoided overstocking the jabs because they are only reimbursed by
0:08:25 > 0:08:29the NHS for vaccines that are used, so they only keep quite a small
0:08:29 > 0:08:32supply in stores because they don't want to lose money.It does point
0:08:32 > 0:08:37out there is a stockpile somewhere. They don't exactly where that there
0:08:37 > 0:08:41is a stockpile. I don't think there is a need to panic. As they say, it
0:08:41 > 0:08:44could be the worst flu season for seven years. It is not at that point
0:08:44 > 0:08:49yet. Sadly 85 people have died over the winter period, but it is not
0:08:49 > 0:08:54that caused panic at the moment. I seem to remember seven years ago
0:08:54 > 0:08:59when it was far worse, most of the country survived.Don't get too
0:08:59 > 0:09:06worried about it. We are overdue a flu epidemic!They are from tomorrow
0:09:06 > 0:09:09going to be fully stocked again so again, I think it is a little bit
0:09:09 > 0:09:12scary the way it is presented in the Telegraph but I think we will be all
0:09:12 > 0:09:17right.The extraordinary thing to me as there is so much warning about
0:09:17 > 0:09:20the flu, you have to wave a flag and say, particularly in vulnerable,
0:09:20 > 0:09:25elderly, but also the National Health Service people are being
0:09:25 > 0:09:29pushed to have the flu jab. You would think they would get that
0:09:29 > 0:09:34automatically?Except because of the way the flu jab works, it doesn't
0:09:34 > 0:09:38protect you against all the strains of that. It can make people feel not
0:09:38 > 0:09:42particular well having it and there is an argument that it is pretty
0:09:42 > 0:09:48pointless, some doctors make this argument.As beings can be lazy
0:09:48 > 0:09:54income be bothered to get it.You talking about yourself?Gas!But of
0:09:54 > 0:10:00course the broader context here for this is the NHS is really, really
0:10:00 > 0:10:06struggling. In theory it has had a relatively easy winter which has
0:10:06 > 0:10:10still been incredibly tough on staff, they are losing staff, these
0:10:10 > 0:10:14A&E specialist sending a letter to the Prime Minister this week, saying
0:10:14 > 0:10:20about the state of A&Es. That is a big problem, because if you have the
0:10:20 > 0:10:24context people dying on trolleys and additionally got a growing crisis,
0:10:24 > 0:10:27though admittedly at the moment not that big, but has the potential to
0:10:27 > 0:10:33become something much bigger, then it becomes...They say it's moving
0:10:33 > 0:10:37towards an epidemic.A scary word. An official epidemic in France.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41Still just across the Channel. There is a big drama front page of the
0:10:41 > 0:10:47Daily Telegraph. Michael, a familiar face one could say, John Humphrys,
0:10:47 > 0:10:51the Today programme presenter facing criticism. Just explain if you can
0:10:51 > 0:10:57what this is about.He was recorded having that all four word banter
0:10:57 > 0:11:00about Carrie Gracie, the BBC News China editor who resigned earlier in
0:11:00 > 0:11:11the week about the gender pay rules. As the week has gone and he has been
0:11:11 > 0:11:15speaking to Jon Sopel, the BBC's North America editor. This wasn't
0:11:15 > 0:11:18being broadcast but this tape has got out and got into other hands, it
0:11:18 > 0:11:22was in the Times this morning and the sun, in which they were joking
0:11:22 > 0:11:26about it. These jokes haven't gone down very well. Particularly John
0:11:26 > 0:11:31Humphrys rather than Jon Sopel. At one point, Jon Sopel said stop in a
0:11:31 > 0:11:35jokey manner. John Humphrys talking here, also on the front of the sun.
0:11:35 > 0:11:43They want him out. And a lot of people in the BBC, predict we women
0:11:43 > 0:11:48I imagine, don't like the cut of their jib, the way they were joking,
0:11:48 > 0:11:51particularly John Humphrys. In the Telegraph he is saying if he could
0:11:51 > 0:11:54relive the last few days, he wouldn't have done the same chat
0:11:54 > 0:11:58with Jon Sopel. But I think that 74, I think John Humphrys probably
0:11:58 > 0:12:03doesn't care that much. He's making quite a lot of money at the moment,
0:12:03 > 0:12:10on about £600,000 a year and the moment? He probably has a decent
0:12:10 > 0:12:13pension and is better off than most people. He is trying to laugh it off
0:12:13 > 0:12:16and is a it was a wind-up, saying it was just a nasty person with a
0:12:16 > 0:12:21gradually did.That is the other wrangle. Let's just go to this front
0:12:21 > 0:12:27page here... BBC women want veteran sacked.What a surprise!One
0:12:27 > 0:12:36paragraph we can see on the front?A source for an equal page campaign
0:12:36 > 0:12:40group said the only acceptable outcome is for him to go. I think
0:12:40 > 0:12:43one of the frustrations of one of these women is a lot of them have
0:12:43 > 0:12:48stopped, they are not allowed to present on this issue, but John
0:12:48 > 0:12:54Humphrys is still allowed to. Allowed? Everyone seems to know it
0:12:54 > 0:12:57was a conversation which he didn't expect. He was broadcasting at the
0:12:57 > 0:13:02time.Sure, but going forward... The people have been banned, who have
0:13:02 > 0:13:06commented on it publicly. His argument was this was a private
0:13:06 > 0:13:09conversation which has become a public one and he is still allowed
0:13:09 > 0:13:15to ask people about this issue.And still trying to laugh it off whereas
0:13:15 > 0:13:19other people are taking far more seriously.Onto another story...
0:13:19 > 0:13:32Chelsea on the front page of the mirror, Chelsea n-word outrage.It
0:13:32 > 0:13:39emerged on the Guardian online. It is Chelsea youth players claiming to
0:13:39 > 0:13:49have been subject to racial abuse by the coach and scout. I think at
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Chelsea since 1979, very close to Ken Bates, the chairman and owner
0:13:53 > 0:13:58that was. He was there quite a few years. There is confirmed quite
0:13:58 > 0:14:00shocking stuff these players say they were subjected to from both of
0:14:00 > 0:14:06them.And that is their relegation. The pair of them deny those
0:14:06 > 0:14:09allegations, and we must say the police have said they have found no
0:14:09 > 0:14:13evidence for it.There was a complaint made to the pleas, the
0:14:13 > 0:14:16police investigated and there was no grounds for prosecution. Chelsea are
0:14:16 > 0:14:20now subject to legal action from these players who said it lived with
0:14:20 > 0:14:25them. These young lads, they are eager to please, a lot of them from
0:14:25 > 0:14:28very poor backgrounds and this is a good chance to give themselves and
0:14:28 > 0:14:33their family a great future, playing football is a dream for a lot of
0:14:33 > 0:14:37young lads. If they are subjected to this sort of thing... These people
0:14:37 > 0:14:41have great power over them. If they are subjecting these lads... Why
0:14:41 > 0:14:49might you are generalising.It is interesting, when we see a spotlight
0:14:49 > 0:14:54shifting, we start in Hollywood, we come to other organisations and
0:14:54 > 0:14:58institutions and settling on the world of football now.Football had
0:14:58 > 0:15:01the allegations in the women's game last year which came before
0:15:01 > 0:15:08Parliament, where the women said, not totally dissimilar, not as
0:15:08 > 0:15:12severe, but that there was racial abuse and a lot of sexism going on
0:15:12 > 0:15:16and bad behaviour.Do you think it's a case that in areas where people
0:15:16 > 0:15:21sort of felt it had to be put up with, again not this case
0:15:21 > 0:15:24particular, but in sport... People playing football and so on, oh well,
0:15:24 > 0:15:28there's a lot of rough-and-tumble, but now people are looking at that
0:15:28 > 0:15:33sort of thing differently?Yes, and power stretches. Hollywood is
0:15:33 > 0:15:38similar. A couple of people hold an awful lot of power, particularly
0:15:38 > 0:15:41over relatively young people starting out, who hope this person
0:15:41 > 0:15:44will be the person who makes their career. This is very difficult to
0:15:44 > 0:15:48take them on, when you think my career lies in this person's hands.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53The point was made earlier in the week, allegations against Kojak
0:15:53 > 0:15:56Newcastle United. I think they are being investigated as well. It goes
0:15:56 > 0:16:02back to these lads are scared of them.He also denies it. The
0:16:02 > 0:16:06Financial Times front page, Rosamond, the headline says mortgage
0:16:06 > 0:16:10lenders shut the door on bit coin investors eyeing first property,
0:16:10 > 0:16:17disentangle this for us and tell us what it is!
0:16:17 > 0:16:21Essentially lots of young people have seen bitcoin is an easy way to
0:16:21 > 0:16:26make money. People compare to other Rushs in the city on the past, going
0:16:26 > 0:16:31back to Tulip Fever.The crypto currency, it doesn't exist in
0:16:31 > 0:16:37physical form.It is the most famous crypto currency but a lot of people
0:16:37 > 0:16:41have piled into it because it's been seen as a really quick way to get a
0:16:41 > 0:16:48massive return. It has shot up very quickly. Now, they have tried to
0:16:48 > 0:16:50cash out and some people have struggled even to do that, but those
0:16:50 > 0:16:54who have have thought, this is great, I will put a deposit on my
0:16:54 > 0:16:57flat. Except it turns out they are not really allowed to use it as a
0:16:57 > 0:17:04deposit on a flat. Public sector worker who made £40,000 investing
0:17:04 > 0:17:08bitcoin couldn't get a mortgage because he couldn't prove where he
0:17:08 > 0:17:12got the funds. What is interesting about this is a mortgage lender
0:17:12 > 0:17:15didn't know what a crypto currency was, which seems staggering to me
0:17:15 > 0:17:19given that it's been pretty much the most talked about things of the last
0:17:19 > 0:17:24year.Maybe... You might read about it but it is still a pretty complex
0:17:24 > 0:17:31thing.But this will create a problem, because it's really
0:17:31 > 0:17:34difficult to get on the property market, this is one way to get a
0:17:34 > 0:17:38deposit, or has been. There is no guarantee it keeps going up,
0:17:38 > 0:17:44obviously.Michael, are you using your bitcoin to find a new place?I
0:17:44 > 0:17:48checked by the computer to see if I dropped any of there! It has been
0:17:48 > 0:17:51explained to me a million times what bitcoin is all about and it seems
0:17:51 > 0:17:54like it's a made up thing that will end up causing a lot of problems for
0:17:54 > 0:18:00a lot of people who have invested so much time and it stops are not if
0:18:00 > 0:18:04you cash out! Bellowed the people have been able to cash out and then
0:18:04 > 0:18:09being ripped off when they have tried to cash out.The problem here
