endures.

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow.

With me are Anne Ashworth,

associate editor at the Times,

and the author, playwright

and columnist in the

New European, Bonnie Greer.

Tomorrow's front pages.

The Sunday Times, which reports

that the new Justice Secretary

is preparing to intervene to halt

the release of the so-called black

cab rapist, John Worboys.

The Sunday Telegraph

has an interview with

the new Conservative party chairman

- he tells the paper he wants

to galvanise the party's

digital campaigning.

The Observer reports claims

by Nigel Farage that pro-Europeans

could overturn the result

of the Brexit referendum

and that the Leave side

has stopped fighting.

And the Sunday Express claims

economists are warning the EU that

failing to reach a Brexit deal

with Britain could

cost it £500 billion.

So, let's begin.

We are going to start this evening

with the Observer and Nigel Farage

who has had a couple of things

with the Observer and Nigel Farage

who has had a couple of things this

with the Observer and Nigel Farage

who has had a couple of things this

week, started off saying he thinks

there should be a second referendum

and it rather bizarrely put him in

agreement with Vince Cable. He said

he thought the league side would

winds very well and now he seems to

be saying the opposite.

But two days

later, he thinks the Remainers will

winds the day because he feels the

Leave campaign is futile and

hopeless, they have given up the

fight, and that remain points is the

input watch more strongly. I'm not

quite sure where he is getting any

of the evidence for these views from

but I just wonder whether he just

loves the limelight so much that he

cannot bear not to be in it, or that

he is hoping that the vacancy at the

top of the Duke chip will -- of Ukip

will become clear and he can jump in

and save the party. Is barely making

sense.

I think what Anis saying is

the hub of it. This guy it didn't

get where he is without knowing how

to manipulate the limelight. There

is a slight shift, if the question

were asked, towards remain. John

Curtis who has been knighted in the

new years Honours list, it is there.

But ask the question again is

ridiculous. And I am a passionate

Remainer. I think it would be

insulting to ask people this

question again. I think what could

be asked, because I fully, the

referendum is an arc of asking the

people how they feel, people could

be asked about how people feel about

that heal, would you rather remain

do you buy it? And this time, get 16

and 17-year-olds involved because

this is deftly checked, and go for a

supermajority. The wind is very

tiny, and act truly, Michael Farage

did say to the Daily Mirror a couple

of years ago that it was safe to 48

remain then the question is

unsettled. So, he is aware through

the arc and movement of things but I

wouldn't trust it.

I wonder if he is

talking about the shape of the deal

emerging. Talk of a transition

period, for example, where people

won't notice much of a difference,

he worries it is all being watered

down and their white beard clean

break.

He wants a divorce in which

either side doesn't release speak to

each other. And we think that might

not quite how it unfolds. And he's

also possibly seeing that the trade

deals that people were so confident

about may not be so readily

available. However, I do always

wonder why so much attention is paid

to a man who has not how whatsoever.

Because he is click bait. He's a

televisual clown. Vets face it, most

politicians are not very

interesting, I am glad, because it

means they are doing their work. But

this one knows how to grab the

limelight. He said it on the

breakfast show, off the top of his

head, and the presenter was going,

what? What? What?

He is credited

with changing the political than a

Mac, changing the discussion. It was

because of him and his party that we

reach the point where we had a

referendum.

He had one job and he

did it, which was to ensure two had

-- we had a referendum.

In the

United States, he is being touted as

the creator of Brexit. There he is

getting all these roses thrown at

him in the United States, most

Americans don't even know what the

Brexit is, and is completely light

-- right, this is about the

limelight. But he hasn't given us

any idea about what talking about.

But that isn't important. The end

instatement is what is important. He

is saying it is a top whistle to his

face, he is saying, put me in

charge, these people are selling out

and we need to do this.

He has come

back many times before. It takes us

daily to the others all the front

page of the Observer, Trump row is a

risk. Donald Trump of Mac

deteriorating relationship with

Britain.

A lot of people thought

these deals would be easily done but

they take the case to sort out. It

is an extraordinary thing, this

distaste that Trump has developed

for Britain just as a time when we

meet to be talking more to this man,

how about the Paris climate accord

and other things.

I have to say, I'm

proud of this come true. No one

America would think it would be the

added kingdom which would either

first place to live the sense of, we

don't want you here. They thought it

would be France. It is here. It is

what is shocking people because to

the average American, the British

are TE and sympathy, so this is

incredibly shocking to people that

wonder does not -- London does not

want him here.

Should our dislike

for him overwhelm our relationship

with him?

It is nothing to do with

us. This is my argument with the

person who bought this up. If

British diplomacy is the world and

this man's women, that is something

that we should know about, we should

not know about is the country. And

at the same time, that is what

diplomats are supposed to do. They

should go in there and sort this

out.

Still, the state visit

invitation has been even, it has

been accepted, it is still on the

table, but there is no weight.

If he

was to come, Her Majesty has invited

him, he has accepted, he can come.

He knows what is coming. Let's move

on to the Telegraph, an interview

with a new chairman of the party. He

is saying that the Tories are too

shy to fight the left online. After

the general election which didn't go

well for the Tories, they lost their

majority, it was seen that that call

banisters were far more deft way

came to social media.

I don't know

if it is everything to do with age,

I think it is a willingness to

embrace it.

It does have everything

to do with age and I say this as

someone in the demographic of the

Tories, that you have to understand

how it works, you have to get in

there and you have to swim with it.

When you are a younger person, they

are adept at knowing how to do that.

The average age of the Conservative

Party would not give any indication

that they would know how to

manoeuvre lives. Brandon Lewis me

know how to manoeuvre himself

personally but the party as a whole

doesn't know how to make his work

and it is obvious because I watched

the Tories bleed, and they ain't got

it.

But I think Brandon Lewis is a

man that has realised it is a

problem and that is how elections

are going to be fought in the chart,

and that they need to develop these

skills.

They need to have an

offer... Someone said to me after

the election the problem was the

Conservatives came out of that

inking they are really rubbish at

everything and he said, it wasn't

great election but it wasn't as bad,

they mustn't throw everything away,

they still have a chance of

fighting.

It is extraordinary that

people just need to realise that

these social media platforms will

not go away. A lot of people think

they would die.

The Conservatives

have no offer for the people who are

online and who use it. It is as

simple as that.

Let's stay with the

Telegraph, the flu vaccine is being

shunned by 3 million people deemed

most at risk. Clearly a problem.

There was a flu outbreak the moment.

What do people do about this?

Well,

it is extraordinary that people

don't the flu will happen to them.

They somehow think they will escape

it working now this is the weekend

when we suddenly realised that this

could be a problem and I bet on

Monday, people will be going into

pharmacies and perhaps not been able

to find the flu vaccine but at least

they will be trying because of the

number of people having flu.

Isn't

this getting back into a

generational conversation. Isn't

this a younger demographic? There

was the whole thing a couple of

years ago about not being

vaccinated. A lot of younger people

are not doing it.

They do it in

schools, interestingly.

But there is

another group of women who aren't

getting vaccinated anymore so it

might be part of that.

What I think

is interesting is usually any

discussions about the free vaccine

is focusing on the elderly but they

are talking about young people.

People I know who have had the flu

worst of the younger people, maybe

they haven't had previous clues.

In

America, there was a big anti-Vac

movement.

Let's move on to the

Sunday Times. The parole board

deciding that John Worboys should be

released after fewer than ten years

in prison. The new Justice Minister

when he took over last week, is now

suggesting there may be grounds to

try and challenge that. He is saying

he would only do it if there was a

reasonable chance of success but it

is an incredible boring.

An

extraordinary lawyer. A lawyer in

this job is immediately asserting

himself and thinking, right, we need

to short -- sort this situation.

There was controversy over the

secrecy and the decision to allow

Warboys out. It looks, bowling, he

is obviously taken the right

soundings, and he is going to try

and fight this decision. If that is

the way the parole board makes its

decisions, that needs to be changed.

They are independent though.

Exactly. That is very important. The

good news is with got a lawyer in

justice. He has obviously seen a

loophole, he has obviously seen

something because you don't go in

there as you think you can win it so

he has seen something and he might

be able to save these victims from

this man and it is possible to.

Some

people are saying the CPS should

actually bring in further

prosecutions against him.

Because he

is a lawyer, he will see if it is

possible to do that.

We are reminded

in this piece about how his victims

heard that he would be out and about

in London and they do not feel safe.

Horrible. It is important that we

have that visitors over the side for

the legal profession. We need to

make sure the law is followed

completely and it there is a

loophole that the Secretary of State

can see, because these are lawyer,

then remind have a good result.

Two

more quick stories in the Sunday

Times. Try January all year. People

buy like the side -- sign of that.

And it is going to be Veganuary as

well. The government are going to

try and post calorie caps on fast

food restaurants so these massive

calorie laden dishes that the

British will enjoy, there will be a

big sign on them saying this is 1800

calories, best not to eat it.

Not a

bad idea.

Mr Trump may enjoy this

dish but perhaps it is not the best

wing for you.

But a bad idea. It is

the sort of nanny state thing.

If we

are in a situation where... I live

in Soho and I see people in their

20s eating in McDonald's but when

you get to be faulty, it is not a

good thing and it puts a strain on

the HS cos we are in an obesity

epidemic.

These four guys have not

been eating. They have been burning

off a lot of calories, breaking the

wreck of four rowing across the

Atlantic.

Extraordinary. The strain

on relationships. There are four of

you, you've really got to get on to

keep on rowing across the Atlantic

so you can't let any kind of thrift

or anything arrive in the racial

ship. And they look like people

that, the way the government would

like us all to look.

Their hearts

must be in great shape.

in great shape.

That's it for the papers this hour.

Thank you, Bonnie and Anne.

You'll both be back at 11.30pm

for another look at the stories

making the news tomorrow.

Coming up next, it is Meet The

Author.
