28/01/2018 The Papers

Hello and welcome to our look ahead

to what the papers will be

bringing us tomorrow.

One day I am going to record what

goes on during those titles to show

you.

With me are broadcaster

and author Natalie Haynes,

and Rob Merrick, who's the deputy

political editor of the Independent.

Welcome to you both. Pop it wants to

know why you have such a funny thing

about prime numbers in a sentence.

They make me feel stressed and

uncomfortable, I can't help it.

I'm

sorry. You make me feel stressed and

uncomfortable. No. You don't.

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.

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 that

are deemed hazardous.

The Daily Mail has details

of a study which has found that two

in three teenagers think TV channels

show too many betting adverts.

And it's sun loungers on the Sun's

front page with details

of a new booking system that

could see fewer early morning dashes

to the pool.

A range of stories on the front

pages, though inevitably,

Brexit takes pole position

in several of the papers.

The Daily Express is where we will

start. The battle to save a full

Brexit. It was worried?

Theresa May

should be worried. Another day,

another day of headlines and threats

against the Prime Minister that

Shinnie StepChange, do something

different, in this case Shinnie is

to stop selling out on a hard Brexit

-- that she should stop selling out.

What strikes me about this story,

this issue raising its head now, the

Brexiteer MPs, as we call them, they

are being particularly vocal. It is

only four weeks ago that the Prime

Minister returned from the EU

summit, having struck a deal that

sufficient progress had been made to

move onto the second part of the

talks. With the exception of a

couple of voices in the backbench

she was hailed a hero, supposedly

struck a brilliant deal. To coin a

phrase used by the Prime Minister,

nothing has changed. The deal hasn't

changed. It seems now the Brexiteer

MPs have woken up to exactly what

she has signed up to, a much softer

Brexit than they wanted to

effectively stay within the EU's

economic structures in a transition

deal for release two years, maybe

longer, and to offer full alignment

with EU regulations to avoid a hard

Irish border, long-term. Obviously

they oppose those things. But what

strikes me as it is the same deal

she signed in December when she was

hailed a hero. But now she is for

the chop.

It is a fickle old

business. In the FT, battle

the chop.

It is a fickle old

business. In the FT, battle over EU

law puts progress at risk. They will

be busy bringing in new laws.

That

is one of the things they like

doing. One of the recently Brexit is

don't like them is how crazy they

for regulation.

Will Britain how to

observe them during the transition

period?

Enormous quantities of time

and energy are being squandered on

this when realistically it is a very

short-term problem that will resolve

itself when the transition period

comes to an end. Instead of thinking

what is a long-term gain COP --

game, what are the goals, what will

be achieved, we are squabbling over

things that will be frou-frou at

most two years. That, by anyone's

standards, is perverse, I would

suggest.

-- free from. Brexit

ministers are swivel eyed. This is

Claire Perry, and energy Minister,

saying that.

She unwisely said it is

in the Conservative MPs WhatsApp

group.

Not a sentence that I was

expecting anyone to say at.

Increasingly a good source of

stories were journalists. You would

have thought a minister would have

been more clever than two make a

comment to scores of MPs, one of

whom are sure to leak it, and that

is what has happened. Claire Perry

was a Remainer. She honestly believe

that clashing out of the EU without

a deal break from the EU will be

calamitous. That is what she says.

As well is the Daily Telegraph of --

its headline. The quote is she says

listening to the hard right of the

Tory Party on Brexit will mean

wrecking the party. That lays bare

what some of the Conservative Party

think will be the consequence of

pursuing a hard Brexit.

She goes

further into who she thinks these

people are.

To be honest, swivel

eyed is pretty much the nicest thing

she says about them. Some of it is

not printable on the front page. She

calls them a sell-out trait of the

finishing -- the she thinks should

be ignored. It is fairly strong

language. To go with civil war, is

one I would have gone with, it seems

the Tory Party are tearing each

other into tiny pieces.

Over Europe

again.

It seems strange. Normally

they are more mature about it.

I

have put The Telegraph to one side,

but not so fast. Up to half of

children our obese in parts of the

UK.

Rising obesity amongst children

is not a new story. It is something

we are very familiar with. It is the

first and these figures have been

mapped by local authorities. What it

also matters is the unfairness of it

and how different parts of the

countries are affected in different

ways. You have parts of the poorer

parts of London and the West

Midlands are picked out here, where

almost half of children our obese.

In wealthier parts of the country it

might be only 25%, it says on

Richmond upon Thames, a swankier

part of London. It is still a lot,

one in four. Their behalf in poorer

areas. Not only a growing problem of

obesity but how it is linked to

poverty.

And how lifelong those

effects can be.

The quote we have

from the Royal College of

Paediatrics and Child Health is that

four fifths of obese children can

expect to remain obese as adults and

that will cut their life expectancy

by up to ten years. Being born poor

will literally make you live for

less long.

They also calling for

curbs on the advertising of

unhealthy food. We have heard that

before.

It doesn't get much

traction. Unless they have missed

things, all that happened last time

there was a huge call for stopping

advertising during children's

programmes is that fewer children's

programmes got made and they made

programmes that were specifically

directed at children but were

nonetheless watched by them.

We move

onto the Daily Mail. The shocking

toll of gambling on children.

Children say they feel bombarded by

betting firms.

Not just children. If

you have been watching the

Australian Open over the last

fortnight, every single ad break,

every two games, and then is 90

seconds long, because that is how

long they take between them, it is a

parade of adverts for betting firms

and betting companies. It is

impossible not to feel bombarded

when you are watching some sport.

You feel constantly that someone is

trying to take money off you. I

would be surprised if teenagers were

the largest view in percentage of

those figures. I would imagine all

people like me watching Mick Dennis,

rather than them being out doing

something unsuitable behind a bike

shed -- watching the tennis.

Teenagers spend a lot more time with

screens these days. My children

don't go out as much as I would like

them too. A list owner where they

are, I suppose. The Church of

England is warning it is a moral

crisis -- at least I know.

We were

talking about obesity amongst young

children. Often the problems we sit

here discussing, cyber bullying,

cyber pornography, and here is

gambling. I would disagree with

anything that has been said about

the number of adverts a company

sport, but it strikes me when I see

this, two in three teenagers feel

bombarded. Their screen watching is

not TV.

Not linear TV, like what we

are doing.

It is YouTube videos,

whatever else it is, it is not

sitting down with their parents. As

he did not passed.

Downloading and

streaming stuff -- as we did in the

past.

I do not have as big a problem

facing children as the other things

we have talked about. The Guardian

next. Hundreds of thousands at risk

in squalid rented homes. Some of the

conditions this report describes.

They are truly awful.

I am not sure

how new it is. Before a lived in my

current flat, my previous one had

rodents, at the other had a black

mould. Obviously that does not make

it all right now, it was horrible

then, it is horrible now. Burman,

mouldy walls, exposed electrical

wiring, Lieke Ruse, broken locks,

they reckon it's a loss of homes for

those rented by under 30 fires. You

don't want to be children or a young

adult -- 30 fires.

We do have rights

if we are renting to expect a

certain standard. But somebody has

to enforce them.

We were talking

about it before. You were talking

about mice and moulds. We can all

remember living in some terrible

property. With me it would be slugs

and mushrooms growing through the

carpet.

Did I share a university

house with your?

I hope not.

Did you

see mushrooms?

We were not growing

them. Those waiting days, it was

short term. -- were my student days.

Perhaps you are able to move on. But

young people cannot afford to buy a

property any more. We have been the

destruction of social housing so

that people who read to rent

privately.

The council needs to deal

with this and they don't have the

money.

Accommodation in privately

rented homes is worse. I think that

is what is different about it now.

Far more people are having to rent

in the private sector where

conditions are worse and it is

harder to change them.

Yes. We will

stay with the Guardian. I was

thinking, it don't mess it up. I

know how that feels. This is a Roger

Federer talking. He has won his 20th

grandslam title and six Australian

Open.

I feel like I need to let

Natalie Tourek. I thought I liked

tennis, but I can't quite match the

passion -- talk.

He is my special

favourite.

Why is he your special

favourite?

He plays tennis

beautifully. He place and unlike

anyone ever has. So graceful and

special and it is ridiculous that he

is doing it at the age of nearly 37.

And there was a time when it looked

he would not win any more Grand

Slams and we were sad and then he

came powering back in having been

off for six months with an injury.

Since then he has won three of the

last five grand slams at the age of

35, 30 six. How is he not getting

old? How is this happening? -- 36.

And look at him cry beautifully

because he is so happy.

Why does he

have to cry?

It is an emotional

moment!

And he must be exhausted.

Some of his arch competitors are

injured at the moment, is it

churlish dimension?

Some of the

older players anyway, not as old as

him, they previously would have been

considered in decline because of

their age anyway. What is striking

is that there just aren't the young

players coming through...

Nick

Kyrgios was playing...

Not good

enough.

I realise that his opponent

got injured in the semifinals and

could not play and others had

magnificent runs and maybe the

semifinals was just one step too

far, but I feel hopeful for the

future. But I will cry girl tears

when a Roger Federer goes.

Not

mainly tears. Are they different?

I

will cry big girl tears. And I am

fine with that. Roger Federer has

shown me it is OK to cry on the

public stage.

Not in here. We might

need tissues.

It is a bit like a throwback to the

80s.

Apparently, you will now be

able to pay to book your sunbed when

you book your hotel said he will not

miss out. We were not quite sure how

you would meet the Germans who also

have the ability to book online...

And have had so sometime. But that

didn't stop an offensive headline.
