13/01/2018 The Papers

Is Darkest An hour Gary Oldman's

finest? Find out what we thought

about the new film about Winston

Churchill in The Film Review.

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.

The Sunday Times 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 will begin with

the Observer. Comments by Nigel

Farage who earlier in the week spoke

about a second referendum, saying it

might be a good idea to have won

because he thinks the leg side would

win more securely than before. He

now says they may lose the

referendum.

Just a few days later he

is determined to keep us guessing,

isn't he? And also to stay in the

limelight. He thinks that the Leave

campaign has lost its voice, that it

has become a week and puny thing and

that the Remain is winning the

battle for hearts and minds. Exactly

what context he has formed this

view, I am not entirely sure. Is he

trying to tell us that if there were

a second referendum and if it were

to happen that Remain would win? I

don't know what he is thinking or if

he is thinking anything apart from

wanting people to talk to him and

return to the limelight.

Is Remain a

winning? Yes. Mack remain... I think

what Nigel Farage is saying is that

Leave's offer is a cultural war and

it makes people angry and keeps them

angry. That is what it is about. It

is about pushing back, not the EU.

If he can't do that he may be able

to get people going. Entering

negotiations, in the real world and

it is complicated. I don't know how

I feel about a second referendum but

I would say that if there is going

to be an ask again to the people, we

should be asked about how we feel

about the deal. Do we feel yes, no

or Remain? And then make sure that

the 16 and 17-year-olds are involved

because it is their future we are

talking about? -- about. That is

what I would ask for. What do you

feel about the deal?

Most of the MPs

were on the Remain side of the

argument, we are leaving in just

over a years time and there is a lot

of talk about trade deals in the

future we may have outside the EU

which brings us to the story about a

quick trade deal with the US. The

suggestion is that because of our

possible falling out with Donald

Trump, that deal may not happen.

There was an assumption that trade

deals could be done quickly. We know

that we do not have the officials

and experts that we required to get

these extraordinarily complex

ingredients three. I wonder if that

is this feeling that Leave has no

rhetoric on this except to say it

that we can do them and they can be

done simply. The idea that perhaps

we may not be able to have a quickly

accomplished trade deal with the US

is a scary prospect.

And it is also

ridiculous. The United States's main

trading partners are Canada and

Mexico. It has also pulled out of

the TDP and what has happened is

that the United States has no

leveraged any longer. Britain needs

to sit back and think about what is

exporting? I have looked at what we

export to the United States -

services. Again that is the problem

because the WTO, which the

Brexiteers want to follow, the WTO

does not cover services. Nigel

Farage is right in his feeling that

now we are in the real world of this

and he needs to keep his people

hungry. Let's go for another shot at

this and see what happens.

Do you

think our relationship with Donald

Trump could be a problem? This is

partly about the visit all know

visit, whether he comes here or not.

He is not coming to open a new

embassy but he could still come for

a state visit.

I am getting aid bid

visit the -- worried about this

taste of this man, his bad language

and extraordinary demeanour and

decisions may at Bully not be in our

own interest. There are so many

issues on which we need to talk to

the US, climate accord, the Iran

nuclear deal, and so many others

that I think we need to get to a

space where we can find some

accommodation with this man. Indeed,

France seems to be able to do it. To

welcome him.

He has taken -- been

taken to so many countries...

What

is brilliant about the United

Kingdom, this was not supposed to

be. For American division of us is

that everybody is polite and have a

cup of tea. -- for Americans, the

vision of us. As far as the

diplomatic corps are concerned, they

are fine. It is the fact that what

Donald Trump wants is for us to

stand there and cheer for him like

his rallies in Ohio. That is not

going to happen and that is what he

is demanding and no-one can control

that.

So that takes us to the Sunday

Express because they report that he

will come to the United Kingdom

later this year for a full state

visit.

With all the bells and

whistles than carriages... Meeting

the Queen... It does not look as if

he will be going to the Royal

wedding but it looks as if he is

going to have a very nice show we

visit -- show with a wide visit,

possibly in June. This story has a

field that it will definitely happen

and with all the show and pomp that

should appease him.

This is the

problem. My problem is -- background

is in theatre. You can come on the

stage. If there is no audience there

is no show. The fact that he wants

to address both houses of Parliament

and people are not going to show up.

That is what he does not like. That

is probably why he will not come.

Everybody will be polite, diplomats

and everybody. We will not. And

somehow he has already set to

chorizo may to make sure that his

visit is well received. Not

guarantee that.

I think that Mrs May

needs to find some way to press

reset on this relationship because

it is crucial and we may not like

the man but he is the president of

the United States.

That there is

nothing you can do because this man

is an infant. It is not about the

Prime Minister sitting down and him

sitting down. Of course she is doing

what she can. He wants us to love

him.

Other countries seem...

The

French. The French was hilarious,

frankly. Especially when they did

the guard of honour when they

started dancing. The French had a

ball. They thought it was a put. The

British will not let this happen and

hooray for the UK.

Moving on to the

Sunday Telegraph. The Conservatives,

the new chairman trying to galvanise

and have a big shakeup at Tory

headquarters, especially when it

comes to digital campaigning.

They

realise that the elections are

fought and won on social media. What

a shame they did not realise that

earlier. After this reshuffle, he is

saying that they need to become more

adept with social media and that the

story needs to be told on social

media in the same way that it used

to be told on hustings.

Do you think

they can do that? I do social media

a lot and I'm in big demographic of

a typical Conservative age-group.

They don't have anything. That is

the problem.

They say that they do.

They know they don't. I follow and I

watch what they send out, I watch

how they fashioned NetSuite and that

is the issue. If they have something

to offer young people then they will

be their. Do not. And it is as

simple as that. Plus the Labour

Party has a charismatic leader who

young people believe in, whether

people think that is good or bad,

that is the cell. That is the cell.

If you have an offer you can sell

the offer. They do not have one.

They can use all the hash tags they

want.

I do not believe that being a

certain age means that you can not

handle social media.

That is where

Brendan Lewis... If he thinks it is

a measure of mechanics, let's get

somebody in here who can do this,

that is not eat. It is what they are

offering. You need to offer a

message and the hash tag and they

link and they do it themselves.

We

have a few more stories. Carillion

on the front page of the Sunday

Telegraph a word on that quickly.

This is a headache for the

government.

Such an extraordinary...

This is a company that barely anyone

has heard of but it is a massive

concern with 50,000 employees

worldwide and a huge number of

contract including the HS two.

Resins, building, the maintenance of

operating theatres in hospitals. The

banks that have lent money to this

company really do think the

government wants to guarantee,

should guarantee the debt in order

to ensure that the company can

continue to this with all these

contracts. It seems to me from this

that the government has said

actually, I don't think we want to

guarantee that that. And that, that

the company may have to go into

administration. Who knows what could

happen tomorrow both it is a very,

very big story because the banks are

trying to test out the government to

see whether they will minded -- they

are minded to bail out business as

they were in 2008.

I don't agree

with the banks and what they are

doing but they would have had a

written assessment -- risk

assessment for this company, whether

it could do what they need to do.

This is absolutely about risk and

they could be putting the government

on brinkmanship to see if will come

in but if they have businesses in

other countries, if they don't see

the United Kingdom as a place and an

environment for them to invest, they

will not be doing it. The government

has to make a philosophical

decision.

It would have to be very

swift. We need to be swift. Story

with a huge reaction, the Justice

Secretary might be trying to make

sure that John Worboys will not be

released from prison.

A lawyer is

Justice Secretary. Here's very set

and feels an sure ground to feel

able to attack the parole board

decision to allow Worboys out. We

know that there was a few raw about

this decision and the way in which

the were not properly informed that

this decision had been main and also

-- made and also the secrecy of the

decision. I suspect this is the

start of the unpicking of those

decisions and the secrecy.

The

Conservative government has never

had a lawyer in Justice. Now we have

a lawyer, thank goodness, at the

head of just as you can look at the

situation, see what needs to be

protected in relation to parole

board and if there is a hole he will

keep that guy in jail. It is a good

sign and good news.

Interesting how

this story, and this is what people

of all ages are interested in on

social media.

Finishing now with Dry

January all year round because the

government wants us to be more

healthy.

How will people like when

they go into a and see this calorie

cap, on and be so Jenny meal they

are about to sit down to -- on a

fact filled meal they are about my

friend will not push that she will

be the one.

We must leave at there.

You can see a picture thereof four

people who not been eating a lot of

chocolate. Rowers who've managed to

break the record of going across the

Atlantic in a rowing boat. What an

amazing achievement. That is it for

the papers. Thank you to both of my

guests. Coming up next we have The

Film Review.
