0:00:15 > 0:00:18Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be
0:00:18 > 0:00:19bringing us tomorrow.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22With me are Polly Curtis, Editor-In-Chief of HuffPost UK
0:00:22 > 0:00:23and Caroline Wheeler, Deputy Political Editor
0:00:23 > 0:00:31of the Sunday Times.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34Welcome to you both.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Many of tomorrow's front pages are already in.
0:00:36 > 0:00:38The Financial Times leads with the end of the US
0:00:38 > 0:00:40government shutdown - saying the Democrats have secured
0:00:40 > 0:00:41assurances on immigration.
0:00:41 > 0:00:44The Telegraph warns that obease children are likely to suffer health
0:00:44 > 0:00:45problems right through their lives.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48The I goes with concerns about the welfare of poultry -
0:00:48 > 0:00:51saying that a million birds die in transit every year.
0:00:51 > 0:00:52Polly and Caroline - let's start things off
0:00:56 > 0:01:00The Guardian has an interview with the head of the national cyber
0:01:00 > 0:01:03Security Centre who says there will be a major cyber attack on the next
0:01:03 > 0:01:08couple of years. Many people in Britain are needlessly taking
0:01:08 > 0:01:11staters, in the Daily Express. Boris Johnson will call for more money for
0:01:11 > 0:01:16the NHS in The Times in a cabinet meeting tomorrow. Just a flavour of
0:01:16 > 0:01:20the front pages. Thank you very much for being with us.
0:01:20 > 0:01:22Polly and Caroline - let's start things off
0:01:22 > 0:01:25with our first story.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27The Telegraph. Caroline, children are obese at 11 doomed to an early
0:01:27 > 0:01:33death. That is a rather horrific headline.It certainly is, as a
0:01:33 > 0:01:41mother of three. Some fairly stark warnings from the body which has put
0:01:41 > 0:01:44together this report, suggesting one in three children will be obese by
0:01:44 > 0:01:49the time they leave primary school. That is age 11. Some of the warnings
0:01:49 > 0:01:56are that they are doomed in this cycle of eating behaviour that will
0:01:56 > 0:02:00actually cut short their life by ten years and also their healthy life by
0:02:00 > 0:02:0320 years. They are saying that something needs to be done about it.
0:02:03 > 0:02:08But it is the same things we hear again and again. Saying there should
0:02:08 > 0:02:12be less advertising on television of things that are bad for us,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16particularly targeted towards children. And that they should stop
0:02:16 > 0:02:20selling fast food outside schools. As a mum, I don't think it goes far
0:02:20 > 0:02:25enough. I really struggle with what I feed my children. My little girl
0:02:25 > 0:02:29has had one of those horrible letters at five saying she is
0:02:29 > 0:02:34overweight even though to the average person...From the school?
0:02:34 > 0:02:38It comes from the public health authority. They do random testing of
0:02:38 > 0:02:42children at the beginning of primary school and the end. To most people
0:02:42 > 0:02:46she seems to look perfectly healthy. But I will be the first person to
0:02:46 > 0:02:52admit that I struggle with what I feed my children. Because is so much
0:02:52 > 0:02:56of what we give them is marketed as something healthy. It says it has
0:02:56 > 0:03:00one of your five a Day in it. But it doesn't say that it is twice as much
0:03:00 > 0:03:05fat and loads of sugar. The Ukip story has been our main
0:03:05 > 0:03:12story most of the day. The newspaper not making too big a plate of it.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15The political correspondents have been having a ball with this story
0:03:15 > 0:03:20all day. We have had resignation after resignation of all of the
0:03:20 > 0:03:24spokespeople from Ukip front bench, they call it. Trying to force the
0:03:24 > 0:03:29leader out. At the end of the day, when we have all that on it, this is
0:03:29 > 0:03:33the most you get on a front page because people are just not that
0:03:33 > 0:03:37interested in Ukip any more. It is a small piece in the Daily Telegraph
0:03:37 > 0:03:42just skirting over the issues.The infighting goes on. Henry Bolton
0:03:42 > 0:03:47talking about draining the swamp of the party's leadership.It is
0:03:47 > 0:03:51extraordinary language, isn't it? But he isn't going anywhere despite
0:03:51 > 0:03:57the fact his front bench have. It'll be interesting to see if Nigel
0:03:57 > 0:04:04Farage says anything because he does resonate with the voters...
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Resonate, rather than resonate. CHUCKLES
0:04:09 > 0:04:15The Financial Times, this story about the shutdown in the US, which
0:04:15 > 0:04:21has been resolved for the time being with that deal.It's only until the
0:04:21 > 0:04:268th of February. Given what we know about Trump's position on this in
0:04:26 > 0:04:30general it wouldn't surprise me if we saw this issue blow back up again
0:04:30 > 0:04:35fairly shortly. As of now there is a deal, an interim deal, for the next
0:04:35 > 0:04:38three weeks, so they can get on, people can get paid, and go back to
0:04:38 > 0:04:44work, which is great.It is a lot of theatre. The last paragraph says
0:04:44 > 0:04:47that despite the political rank it hasn't touched the dollar. The
0:04:47 > 0:04:54economy will not feel it. It is a lot of theatre.Does it show the
0:04:54 > 0:04:57dysfunctionality of the American political system? The fact that it
0:04:57 > 0:05:02can just shut down. Dysfunctionality? In the American
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Government? This is about the most mundane thing that has happened.It
0:05:06 > 0:05:12really is. This is an ordinary thing by today's standards.A picture in
0:05:12 > 0:05:19the FT of Davos. It's the World Economic Forum where the global
0:05:19 > 0:05:24elites get together on the snowy slopes of Switzerland. Christine
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Lagarde pictured, the managing director of the IMF. The great and
0:05:28 > 0:05:31the good of the world stage, they get together and chat, it must.
0:05:31 > 0:05:39Absolutely. The front pages are split. -- get together and chat, it
0:05:39 > 0:05:45must be a good thing. Theresa May will be outnumbered by remain
0:05:45 > 0:05:52supporters such as Angela Merkel. Tony Blair is going to be there.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56Will she meet Trump? That's the big question. They are supposed to.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00Rumours are he isn't happy. It might be cordial. But then you have John
0:06:00 > 0:06:05McDonnell who has been sneering at all of these people all of these
0:06:05 > 0:06:12years. The scene is set for a jolly time.It's a strange concept that
0:06:12 > 0:06:16all of these world leaders meet in this very beautiful but also
0:06:16 > 0:06:20snowbound mountain top in Switzerland.It gives the FT a great
0:06:20 > 0:06:25picture to lead on.They are not big on pictures on their front pages,
0:06:25 > 0:06:30are they?Exactly. It is a talking shop. The great and the good meat to
0:06:30 > 0:06:35go through the big economic issues of the day.The new look Guardian.
0:06:35 > 0:06:42Do we like the new look?I really like it. I think it is great to
0:06:42 > 0:06:45read. I finish every story.You finish every story!
0:06:45 > 0:06:53CHUCKLES I think it is really accessible and
0:06:53 > 0:06:58really showcases their journalism brilliantly.They have an exclusive
0:06:58 > 0:07:05about a warning of a cyber attack on the UK. What do you make of that?
0:07:05 > 0:07:09Scary, but, when you are at red alert for terror attacks date to
0:07:09 > 0:07:17day, is it the first worry?It is the head of the National cyber
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Security Centre warning of a major cyber attack. Saying it is a matter
0:07:20 > 0:07:27of when not if.We have had a few, the one on the NHS was particularly
0:07:27 > 0:07:31worrying. And there has been one apartment with the suggestion that
0:07:31 > 0:07:38it happened just days before an election. -- there has been one on
0:07:38 > 0:07:43Parliament. We are on a very high state of readiness for any kind of
0:07:43 > 0:07:47cyber or terrorist related activity as it is.And he is predicting
0:07:47 > 0:07:52specifically in the next two years. It will be a category one attack.
0:07:52 > 0:07:57Defined as an assault which might cripple infrastructure such as
0:07:57 > 0:08:00energy supplies, financial services sector, City of London, I guess,
0:08:00 > 0:08:07another level from what we have had. Sure.That was the main story in the
0:08:07 > 0:08:16Guardian. Also another one about cladding post-Grenfell Tower. What
0:08:16 > 0:08:22do you make of that? Only three of the 160 social housing towers
0:08:22 > 0:08:30identify dangerous after Grenfell Tower have been known to be clouded.
0:08:30 > 0:08:39There was so much concern over the safety. -- to be recladded. Though
0:08:39 > 0:08:42all of these towers which had a similar risk and only three have
0:08:42 > 0:08:53been changed. That is a real risk. And especially the provenance that
0:08:53 > 0:08:56story had. The devastation brought that entire area. You would have
0:08:56 > 0:09:00thought this would have been massively high on the agenda. Given
0:09:00 > 0:09:03housing is meant to be one of the centre plank of this Government's
0:09:03 > 0:09:08new Renaissance and new domestic agenda.All of the promises that
0:09:08 > 0:09:11were made in the aftermath of the attack, it is the same as the
0:09:11 > 0:09:17housing for the people who were living near Grenfell Tower, so many
0:09:17 > 0:09:23are still in hotels.Astonishing. They have not been able to make up
0:09:23 > 0:09:31for the failure which led to that situation.Really shocking.Boris
0:09:31 > 0:09:35Johnson is demanding £5 billion extra for the NHS. He is apparently
0:09:35 > 0:09:39going to say this at a cabinet meeting tomorrow. Caroline, you do
0:09:39 > 0:09:44not think this is a new story, do you?I spotted it in the Sunday
0:09:44 > 0:09:51Times.I think we all did.We knew he would make an intervention on the
0:09:51 > 0:09:54NHS. Broadly speaking this has been on the cards for quite some time.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59The pledge that was emblazoned across the bus during the referendum
0:09:59 > 0:10:03campaign about putting money into the NHS when we leave the EU has
0:10:03 > 0:10:06been a thorn in his side ever since it happened. Given the fact there
0:10:06 > 0:10:10were questions over the numbers in the first place. He needs to
0:10:10 > 0:10:13detoxify that issue. The only way he can do that is getting the
0:10:13 > 0:10:21Government to sign up. What they are talking about, when we leave the EU,
0:10:21 > 0:10:25not necessarily, but from March next year. But he isn't the only one.
0:10:25 > 0:10:34Others have been bashing about the NHS.He does seem to stray from his
0:10:34 > 0:10:37Foreign Office brief. Talking about the health service, talking about
0:10:37 > 0:10:42the bridge across the Channel to France, and so on.He doesn't seem
0:10:42 > 0:10:46to follow many protocols. But nobody is really raining him in.I suppose
0:10:46 > 0:10:51the bridge to France is part of the Foreign Office brief. Who knows?
0:10:51 > 0:10:58Also in the Times, the story about Alison Saunders, head of the Crown
0:10:58 > 0:11:05Prosecution Service, talking about rape complainants who stay silent,
0:11:05 > 0:11:18they risk the thought that they consented to six.I thought she
0:11:18 > 0:11:25would be on the sign -- the side of the victims. Somebody said it is
0:11:25 > 0:11:29quite a normal response to being in a very terrifying, violent situation
0:11:29 > 0:11:39like rape to go quiet and not scream. I am surprised.The Times
0:11:39 > 0:11:43says she is seeking to regain the initiative after a series of
0:11:43 > 0:11:50collapsed rape trials, which we have seen.But it seems to be at the
0:11:50 > 0:11:54victims' expense.And it doesn't necessarily happen between strangers
0:11:54 > 0:12:01in a darkened alleyway. It can happen between a married couple.
0:12:01 > 0:12:06Would you scream if you were in a coercive relationship?Very good
0:12:06 > 0:12:11point.Has she made a mistake with this intervention?I don't know, I
0:12:11 > 0:12:15would like to read the rest of the story tomorrow, but I am surprised
0:12:15 > 0:12:24by it, yeah.Another royal wedding coming up. Are you excited?It is
0:12:24 > 0:12:29lovely news.It is lovely news.I wonder how much it was delayed to
0:12:29 > 0:12:36make way for another royal wedding. Maybe they come in threes. I don't
0:12:36 > 0:12:43know who is next. My favourite thing about this story.This is Princess
0:12:43 > 0:12:51Eugenie, by the way, getting married this autumn at the same venue as
0:12:51 > 0:12:59Prince Harry. It is the place to get married, isn't it?Very trendy.Is
0:12:59 > 0:13:04the royal family being rejuvenated and we generated by these young
0:13:04 > 0:13:06royals?I'm finding the international interest in the
0:13:06 > 0:13:12wedding is fascinating. Our readers around the world are completely
0:13:12 > 0:13:18gripped by it. They do not see any squeamishness about celebrating a
0:13:18 > 0:13:24rich and privileged family. There is a debate in this country about the
0:13:24 > 0:13:29place of the Royal family. But I think young people, a lot of our
0:13:29 > 0:13:32audience, and the international audiences are well up for a bit of
0:13:32 > 0:13:35good news and celebration.I think that's the same as the rest of the
0:13:35 > 0:13:40country. There has been a lot of Brexit, instability, will the Prime
0:13:40 > 0:13:44Minister last, lots of front pages dominated to doom and gloom. Then
0:13:44 > 0:13:48you see some happy news and I do think people start to feel that
0:13:48 > 0:13:51although there is a campaign to have another bank holiday, which would
0:13:51 > 0:14:00boost morale.We would get two, possibly, but never mind. Many
0:14:00 > 0:14:03thanks to both of you for coming in and discussing tomorrow's front
0:14:03 > 0:14:04pages.
0:14:04 > 0:14:05Don't forget you can
0:14:05 > 0:14:09see the front pages of the papers online on the BBC News website.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11It's all there for you - 7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers
0:14:11 > 0:14:13and if you miss the programme any
0:14:13 > 0:14:15evening you can watch it later on BBC iPlayer.
0:14:15 > 0:14:16Thank you, Polly and Caroline.
0:14:16 > 0:14:20Goodbye.
