28/01/2018 The Papers

Hello.

This is BBC News

with Martine Croxall.

We'll be taking a look at tomorrow

morning's papers in a moment -

first the headlines.

The Prime Minister has come under

new pressure from her backbenchers

over Brexit negotiations -

amid reports of a possible

leadership contest.

A 28-year-old man has been charged

with causing death by dangerous

driving after a crash that killed

three teenagers in west London.

The leader of Russia's main

opposition party has been released

after he was arrested at a rally

calling for a boycott

of the presidential elections.

And in Melbourne, Roger Federer has

won his sixth Australian Open

with a victory over Marin Cilic -

joining a select group of champions

to have won 20 Grand Slams.

And tributes to the father

of flatpack furniture -

Ingvar Kamprad, who founded Ikea,

has died at the age of 91.

You know you have been doing the

papers too long when you start

dancing to that music! With us are

broadcaster Natalie Haynes and Rob

Merrick the deputy political editor

of the Independent. Good evening. A

lot of the front pages RM. -- are

in.

Tomorrow's front pages, starting

with The Financial Times, which

reports that the Brexit negotiations

could hit choppy waters over the

UK's demand to vet new EU laws

during the transition period.

The i has an investigation

into the extent of knife

crime in British schools.

Theresa May's hold on power

is under threat according

to The Metro amid speculation

of a leadership contest.

"Swivel-eyed" - that's how one

senior minister has described

Brexiteers who opposed the EU

divorce bill - the Telegraph claims.

And The Daily Mirror details

the number of babies it says die

in the UK as a result

of sleeping with their parents.

The Guardian reports that hundreds

of thousands of young adults are

renting properties which are deemed

hazardous. In mixed bag of stories

there. Inevitably, Brexit takes pole

position in several of the papers.

It will thrill us all. A battle over

it you lob puts Brexit progress at

risk is where we will start with the

Financial Times -- a battle over it

you lob puts Brexit at risk. What

will happen to the new laws which

the rest of the EU puts out? Are we

meant to take notice?

And papers are

full of the trouble that Theresa May

has for the next stage of the

negotiations and you can say at

least she got through phase one,

that is in the bag, but the story

says it is not. Sufficient progress

means the full details have to be

nailed down and that is what is

happening at the moment and this is

a further obstacle. One of the key

issues is the European Court of

Justice. It is a red rag to the ball

to the Tory Brexiteers. Robin is a

red line for the EU is during the

transition period we will abide by

ECJ rulings and also new laws which

might be made by the ECJ and EU and

overseen by the EU. Written is

arguing they want some sort of

halfway house measure where Britain

would look at the new laws on the

grid ECJ rulings itself and decide

whether they would conflict with our

priority is bit the EU will not

accept that because it is a halfway

house. It is an illustration of the

bind the Prime Minister is still in

as she tries to face of the

Brexiteers on her party who want to

be tougher with the EU, but at the

same time make progress in the

negotiations, and it is not clear

how she squares that circle.

Some

MPs want to regard it as

implementation rather than

transition which could have

different connotations but it does

not get them off the hook?

It does

not really. The nice thing as it has

the characteristics that it makes

someone's heart sink when they talk

about it or think about it or even

just have their eye caught by a

headline across a crowded room. We

are spending so much time debating

things which are fairly minor while

ignoring things which are quite big.

Whether not we will abide by laws

for what ever will be the

transitional period is quite a lot

less important about whether people

who are currently British but live

in Spain, or from Spain and

currently lives in Nottingham, where

they are going to live. It is a lot

less important than that but that is

what we will get caught up on for

months at a time.

Shows how

fiendishly complicated is to get the

framework in place. The metro is

also looking at Brexit and Mrs May's

position. Keep calm and hurry up. An

effort to soothe MPs fail as May is

branded a daughter 's.

Apparently

that is not a compliment.

Even

though they are slow and steady and

win the race.

In the ancient world

they were used to make lyres. But

they were boiled. Comparing one to

Theresa May seems like it is not the

best way.

The point is they want to

get a move on. I know you were

desperate to get us away from

Brexit!

I like tortoise is, I do not

know what you want from me!

You are

doing OK. We will call you again.

This shows that when we talk about

Brexit as being the big problem that

the Prime Minister has got, there

are one group of Tory MPs who think

she's hopeless and failing but there

is another group who think she is

generally inept on every subject and

want to come up with some policies

which will attract attention and

support and be ambitious. What

strikes me is there is another story

about a tortoise in the news, one

which escaped six months ago in

Oxfordshire and it has been reunited

with its family. In six months it

has undergone 320 metres but for a

lot of Tory MPs, that tortoise is

making more progress than the Prime

Minister.

Nicely brought back! Break

quickly, the Daily Telegraph,

Minister says Brexiteers opposed to

EU bill are swivel. We have heard

that expression before.

Yes, the

insult of choice for the left of the

Tory party -- swivel-eyed loons it

was once said by a Cameron Ed. Here

comes this phrase back from a little

known minister called Claire Perry.

She has previously called Brexit

supporters jihadists.

This is quite

a climb-down!

What this story shows

is how much bitterness there is in

the Tory party, one wing against

another. But someone can use this

phrase about the Leave about some

else in the same party. How does

Theresa May get out of that?

We will

stay with the Telegraph. Up to half

of children obese in parts of the

UK.

Yes, it is an enormously

depressing story. The numbers are

horrifying, even in the richest

wards we are looking at 25%. 44% of

ten and 11-year-olds in Brent, north

London, are rabies or overweight.

The number is almost half that in

rematch and upon Thames. The five

miles away -- Richmond-upon-Thames.

Other areas with high levels of

excess weight, Barking and Dagenham,

Wolverhampton and Sandwell. In other

words, the correlation between

obesity and poverty is very high.

That does not tell us anything we

don't already know. The bit we

should be worrying about is where

four fifths of obese children can

remain a beast as adults and cut

life expectancy by ten years. --

remain a beast. Being overweight can

cost you ten years of your life.

They seem to be getting worse the

numbers.

The problem of obesity is

getting worse and the key thing is

the link with poverty. Recently,

some figures came out looking at the

extent of child poverty by local

authority. There were some that were

up at almost 50% for the proportion

of children growing up in poverty.

You would imagine that this match is

throw closely what we are seeing

here.

Let's look at the FT. The

father of the flatpack, IKEA founder

and Swedish on to know dies at the

age of 91. This is Ingvar Kamprad

who gave his initials to the company

and the part of the country he came

from. He has revolutionised

furniture assembly and furniture

manufacturer.

Before he recently

lived and died, we spent no time

crying and swearing at leftover nuts

and bolts. Do you want me to embrace

him? I cannot do it, I can't bear

building flatpack furniture.

They

will come and do it now.

Then there

will be someone I don't know in my

flat.

It will stop you crying.

I

will be crying for a different

reason.

And you will have something

to sit on when they have gone.

There

was a joke that was made which was

in poor taste. It is a classic rags

to riches story. He founded IT when

he was 17 selling postcards and

pencils and he went on to sales of

38 billion and employing thousands

of workers.

Slightly glossed over

the bit where he recruited members

for the Swedish Nazi party.

By

September 1945 most people had seen

the error of his ways.

He repudiated

it. Before you leave, I have gotten

Allen key, I would like you to check

the legs on the desk. The

Independent is where we are going

next. Roger Federer, the fairy tale

continues, it says. 36-year-old.

That looks so and appealing to me.

It is quite old for a professional

sports person though. It was such a

great match. I got up really early

to run before watching the tennis

because I love Roger Federer so

much. I have been troubled since he

won at Wimbledon last year, because

I find the number 19 troubling so I

really wanted him to get to 20!

It

is not one of your things, is it?

You struggle with prime numbers. We

have talked about this before. I

tried to forget.

Mainly I like the

bit where he was in floods of tears.

Poor Marin Cilic who has been beaten

us to console him.

Everyone is

saying, can he do it? Can he hold it

together? No, he bursts into tears!

It means so much to him still. What

has been rather nice to point out is

while he is the first man to reach

this milestone, he is not the first

person.

Certainly isn't.

Serena

Williams, Steffi Graf, Margaret

Court.

Three of them.

Serena

Williams has the most. I like tennis

too much.

Serena Williams is showing

the same longevity with the ability

to win it.

How are we doing for

time? I am engrossed in what we are

talking about and not listening to

what is being said in my ear. I can

also hear myself which is slightly

discombobulated.

You were being

haunted by headlines which were

hovering.

I can see things which you

cannot see. Let's go back to the

Daily Telegraph. I feel slightly

embarrassed doing this story. Put

your towel on a sun lounge before

you even go on holiday. How can you

do that?

You can do it because you

can now book it. When you book your

holiday you can book your sun lounge

and make sure they are not all taken

when you get there. The joke comes

in paragraph three where it says the

service has been available to

Germans for three years. So when you

come to bucket it may already be

booked. I suppose the people who

booked them use them. The problem is

when people do not use them.

How

much does this service cost?

It is

about 25 euros.

A day or post a?

I

don't know. Look how pale skinned I

am, I do not sit in the sun. I could

go somewhere cold and mountainous.

25 for the lot I think.

People do

complain a lot about this, not

having enough access to some

loungers. You have to get up very

early.

It does not increase the

number of some loungers, does it?

I

do not want to use the phrase

rearranging deck chairs on the

Titanic but we are surely thinking

it. There is only a limited number.

People will be crying sitting on the

ground.

SPEAKS GERMAN. That is what

you would say in German. You should

ask in the language of the country

you are visiting. That is it for the

Papers now.

Don't forget you can see the front

pages of the papers online

on the BBC News website.

It's all there for you -

7 days a week at bbc.co.uk/papers -

and if you miss the programme any

evening you can watch it

later on BBC iPlayer.

We will be back at 11:30pm and do it

again. Natalie and Rob, thank you

very much.

Now it's time for Meet the Author.
