0:00:00 > 0:00:02Is Darkest An hour Gary Oldman's finest? Find out what we thought

0:00:02 > 0:00:12about the new film about Winston Churchill in The Film Review.

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 > 0:00:26With me are Anne Ashworth, Associate Editor at the Times,

0:00:26 > 0:00:29and the author, playwright and columnist in the New European,

0:00:29 > 0:00:30Bonnie Greer.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32The Sunday Times reports that the new justice secretary

0:00:32 > 0:00:35is preparing to intervene to halt the release of the so-called 'black

0:00:36 > 0:00:39cab rapist', John Worboys.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41The Sunday Telegraph has an interview with

0:00:41 > 0:00:43the new Conservative Party chairman.

0:00:43 > 0:00:45He tells the paper he wants

0:00:45 > 0:00:48to galvanise the party's digital campaigning.

0:00:48 > 0:00:51The Observer reports claims by Nigel Farage that pro-Europeans

0:00:51 > 0:00:54could overturn the result of the Brexit referendum

0:00:54 > 0:00:59and that the Leave side has 'stopped fighting.'

0:00:59 > 0:01:02And the Sunday Express claims economists are warning the EU that

0:01:02 > 0:01:04failing to reach a Brexit deal with Britain could

0:01:04 > 0:01:15cost it £500 billion.

0:01:15 > 0:01:20So let's begin. We will begin with the Observer. Comments by Nigel

0:01:20 > 0:01:24Farage who earlier in the week spoke about a second referendum, saying it

0:01:24 > 0:01:28might be a good idea to have won because he thinks the leg side would

0:01:28 > 0:01:31win more securely than before. He now says they may lose the

0:01:31 > 0:01:36referendum.Just a few days later he is determined to keep us guessing,

0:01:36 > 0:01:42isn't he? And also to stay in the limelight. He thinks that the Leave

0:01:42 > 0:01:50campaign has lost its voice, that it has become a week and puny thing and

0:01:50 > 0:01:54that the Remain is winning the battle for hearts and minds. Exactly

0:01:54 > 0:02:00what context he has formed this view, I am not entirely sure. Is he

0:02:00 > 0:02:05trying to tell us that if there were a second referendum and if it were

0:02:05 > 0:02:11to happen that Remain would win? I don't know what he is thinking or if

0:02:11 > 0:02:16he is thinking anything apart from wanting people to talk to him and

0:02:16 > 0:02:24return to the limelight.Is Remain a winning? Yes. Mack remain... I think

0:02:24 > 0:02:34what Nigel Farage is saying is that Leave's offer is a cultural war and

0:02:34 > 0:02:41it makes people angry and keeps them angry. That is what it is about. It

0:02:41 > 0:02:46is about pushing back, not the EU. If he can't do that he may be able

0:02:46 > 0:02:49to get people going. Entering negotiations, in the real world and

0:02:49 > 0:02:54it is complicated. I don't know how I feel about a second referendum but

0:02:54 > 0:03:00I would say that if there is going to be an ask again to the people, we

0:03:00 > 0:03:05should be asked about how we feel about the deal. Do we feel yes, no

0:03:05 > 0:03:11or Remain? And then make sure that the 16 and 17-year-olds are involved

0:03:11 > 0:03:18because it is their future we are talking about? -- about. That is

0:03:18 > 0:03:24what I would ask for. What do you feel about the deal?Most of the MPs

0:03:24 > 0:03:29were on the Remain side of the argument, we are leaving in just

0:03:29 > 0:03:33over a years time and there is a lot of talk about trade deals in the

0:03:33 > 0:03:37future we may have outside the EU which brings us to the story about a

0:03:37 > 0:03:41quick trade deal with the US. The suggestion is that because of our

0:03:41 > 0:03:45possible falling out with Donald Trump, that deal may not happen.

0:03:45 > 0:03:49There was an assumption that trade deals could be done quickly. We know

0:03:49 > 0:03:55that we do not have the officials and experts that we required to get

0:03:55 > 0:03:58these extraordinarily complex ingredients three. I wonder if that

0:03:58 > 0:04:03is this feeling that Leave has no rhetoric on this except to say it

0:04:03 > 0:04:07that we can do them and they can be done simply. The idea that perhaps

0:04:07 > 0:04:15we may not be able to have a quickly accomplished trade deal with the US

0:04:15 > 0:04:21is a scary prospect.And it is also ridiculous. The United States's main

0:04:21 > 0:04:26trading partners are Canada and Mexico. It has also pulled out of

0:04:26 > 0:04:30the TDP and what has happened is that the United States has no

0:04:30 > 0:04:34leveraged any longer. Britain needs to sit back and think about what is

0:04:34 > 0:04:40exporting? I have looked at what we export to the United States -

0:04:40 > 0:04:47services. Again that is the problem because the WTO, which the

0:04:47 > 0:04:52Brexiteers want to follow, the WTO does not cover services. Nigel

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Farage is right in his feeling that now we are in the real world of this

0:04:56 > 0:05:01and he needs to keep his people hungry. Let's go for another shot at

0:05:01 > 0:05:07this and see what happens.Do you think our relationship with Donald

0:05:07 > 0:05:11Trump could be a problem? This is partly about the visit all know

0:05:11 > 0:05:15visit, whether he comes here or not. He is not coming to open a new

0:05:15 > 0:05:20embassy but he could still come for a state visit.I am getting aid bid

0:05:20 > 0:05:24visit the -- worried about this taste of this man, his bad language

0:05:24 > 0:05:28and extraordinary demeanour and decisions may at Bully not be in our

0:05:28 > 0:05:34own interest. There are so many issues on which we need to talk to

0:05:34 > 0:05:38the US, climate accord, the Iran nuclear deal, and so many others

0:05:38 > 0:05:44that I think we need to get to a space where we can find some

0:05:44 > 0:05:49accommodation with this man. Indeed, France seems to be able to do it. To

0:05:49 > 0:05:59welcome him.He has taken -- been taken to so many countries...What

0:05:59 > 0:06:02is brilliant about the United Kingdom, this was not supposed to

0:06:02 > 0:06:07be. For American division of us is that everybody is polite and have a

0:06:07 > 0:06:14cup of tea. -- for Americans, the vision of us. As far as the

0:06:14 > 0:06:20diplomatic corps are concerned, they are fine. It is the fact that what

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Donald Trump wants is for us to stand there and cheer for him like

0:06:24 > 0:06:29his rallies in Ohio. That is not going to happen and that is what he

0:06:29 > 0:06:33is demanding and no-one can control that.So that takes us to the Sunday

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Express because they report that he will come to the United Kingdom

0:06:37 > 0:06:42later this year for a full state visit.With all the bells and

0:06:42 > 0:06:48whistles than carriages... Meeting the Queen... It does not look as if

0:06:48 > 0:06:52he will be going to the Royal wedding but it looks as if he is

0:06:52 > 0:06:57going to have a very nice show we visit -- show with a wide visit,

0:06:57 > 0:07:04possibly in June. This story has a field that it will definitely happen

0:07:04 > 0:07:08and with all the show and pomp that should appease him.This is the

0:07:08 > 0:07:14problem. My problem is -- background is in theatre. You can come on the

0:07:14 > 0:07:20stage. If there is no audience there is no show. The fact that he wants

0:07:20 > 0:07:26to address both houses of Parliament and people are not going to show up.

0:07:26 > 0:07:32That is what he does not like. That is probably why he will not come.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Everybody will be polite, diplomats and everybody. We will not. And

0:07:35 > 0:07:40somehow he has already set to chorizo may to make sure that his

0:07:40 > 0:07:45visit is well received. Not guarantee that.I think that Mrs May

0:07:45 > 0:07:52needs to find some way to press reset on this relationship because

0:07:52 > 0:07:56it is crucial and we may not like the man but he is the president of

0:07:56 > 0:07:59the United States.That there is nothing you can do because this man

0:07:59 > 0:08:04is an infant. It is not about the Prime Minister sitting down and him

0:08:04 > 0:08:09sitting down. Of course she is doing what she can. He wants us to love

0:08:09 > 0:08:16him.Other countries seem...The French. The French was hilarious,

0:08:16 > 0:08:21frankly. Especially when they did the guard of honour when they

0:08:21 > 0:08:27started dancing. The French had a ball. They thought it was a put. The

0:08:27 > 0:08:32British will not let this happen and hooray for the UK.Moving on to the

0:08:32 > 0:08:39Sunday Telegraph. The Conservatives, the new chairman trying to galvanise

0:08:39 > 0:08:43and have a big shakeup at Tory headquarters, especially when it

0:08:43 > 0:08:48comes to digital campaigning.They realise that the elections are

0:08:48 > 0:08:52fought and won on social media. What a shame they did not realise that

0:08:52 > 0:09:00earlier. After this reshuffle, he is saying that they need to become more

0:09:00 > 0:09:06adept with social media and that the story needs to be told on social

0:09:06 > 0:09:14media in the same way that it used to be told on hustings.Do you think

0:09:14 > 0:09:22they can do that? I do social media a lot and I'm in big demographic of

0:09:22 > 0:09:25a typical Conservative age-group. They don't have anything. That is

0:09:25 > 0:09:36the problem.They say that they do. They know they don't. I follow and I

0:09:36 > 0:09:42watch what they send out, I watch how they fashioned NetSuite and that

0:09:42 > 0:09:46is the issue. If they have something to offer young people then they will

0:09:46 > 0:09:52be their. Do not. And it is as simple as that. Plus the Labour

0:09:52 > 0:09:56Party has a charismatic leader who young people believe in, whether

0:09:56 > 0:10:00people think that is good or bad, that is the cell. That is the cell.

0:10:00 > 0:10:05If you have an offer you can sell the offer. They do not have one.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10They can use all the hash tags they want.I do not believe that being a

0:10:10 > 0:10:15certain age means that you can not handle social media.That is where

0:10:15 > 0:10:20Brendan Lewis... If he thinks it is a measure of mechanics, let's get

0:10:20 > 0:10:24somebody in here who can do this, that is not eat. It is what they are

0:10:24 > 0:10:29offering. You need to offer a message and the hash tag and they

0:10:29 > 0:10:36link and they do it themselves.We have a few more stories. Carillion

0:10:36 > 0:10:40on the front page of the Sunday Telegraph a word on that quickly.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44This is a headache for the government.Such an extraordinary...

0:10:44 > 0:10:49This is a company that barely anyone has heard of but it is a massive

0:10:49 > 0:10:51concern with 50,000 employees worldwide and a huge number of

0:10:51 > 0:10:58contract including the HS two. Resins, building, the maintenance of

0:10:58 > 0:11:04operating theatres in hospitals. The banks that have lent money to this

0:11:04 > 0:11:08company really do think the government wants to guarantee,

0:11:08 > 0:11:11should guarantee the debt in order to ensure that the company can

0:11:11 > 0:11:16continue to this with all these contracts. It seems to me from this

0:11:16 > 0:11:20that the government has said actually, I don't think we want to

0:11:20 > 0:11:26guarantee that that. And that, that the company may have to go into

0:11:26 > 0:11:32administration. Who knows what could happen tomorrow both it is a very,

0:11:32 > 0:11:37very big story because the banks are trying to test out the government to

0:11:37 > 0:11:45see whether they will minded -- they are minded to bail out business as

0:11:45 > 0:11:50they were in 2008.I don't agree with the banks and what they are

0:11:50 > 0:11:54doing but they would have had a written assessment -- risk

0:11:54 > 0:11:58assessment for this company, whether it could do what they need to do.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02This is absolutely about risk and they could be putting the government

0:12:02 > 0:12:06on brinkmanship to see if will come in but if they have businesses in

0:12:06 > 0:12:11other countries, if they don't see the United Kingdom as a place and an

0:12:11 > 0:12:14environment for them to invest, they will not be doing it. The government

0:12:14 > 0:12:19has to make a philosophical decision.It would have to be very

0:12:19 > 0:12:24swift. We need to be swift. Story with a huge reaction, the Justice

0:12:24 > 0:12:29Secretary might be trying to make sure that John Worboys will not be

0:12:29 > 0:12:37released from prison.A lawyer is Justice Secretary. Here's very set

0:12:37 > 0:12:44and feels an sure ground to feel able to attack the parole board

0:12:44 > 0:12:51decision to allow Worboys out. We know that there was a few raw about

0:12:51 > 0:12:54this decision and the way in which the were not properly informed that

0:12:54 > 0:13:03this decision had been main and also -- made and also the secrecy of the

0:13:03 > 0:13:06decision. I suspect this is the start of the unpicking of those

0:13:06 > 0:13:09decisions and the secrecy.The Conservative government has never

0:13:09 > 0:13:15had a lawyer in Justice. Now we have a lawyer, thank goodness, at the

0:13:15 > 0:13:20head of just as you can look at the situation, see what needs to be

0:13:20 > 0:13:25protected in relation to parole board and if there is a hole he will

0:13:25 > 0:13:30keep that guy in jail. It is a good sign and good news.Interesting how

0:13:30 > 0:13:35this story, and this is what people of all ages are interested in on

0:13:35 > 0:13:40social media.Finishing now with Dry January all year round because the

0:13:40 > 0:13:45government wants us to be more healthy.How will people like when

0:13:45 > 0:13:55they go into a and see this calorie cap, on and be so Jenny meal they

0:13:55 > 0:14:12are about to sit down to -- on a fact filled meal they are about my

0:14:12 > 0:14:16friend will not push that she will be the one.We must leave at there.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20You can see a picture thereof four people who not been eating a lot of

0:14:20 > 0:14:25chocolate. Rowers who've managed to break the record of going across the

0:14:25 > 0:14:31Atlantic in a rowing boat. What an amazing achievement. That is it for

0:14:31 > 0:14:36the papers. Thank you to both of my guests. Coming up next we have The

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Film Review.
