0:00:18 > 0:00:22Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be

0:00:22 > 0:00:22bringing us tomorrow.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25With me are the author and journalist Yasmin Alibhai-Brown

0:00:25 > 0:00:28and the Political Strategist Jo Tanner.

0:00:28 > 0:00:35Let's have a look at tomorrow's front pages.

0:00:35 > 0:00:38The Metro uses a Musketeer analogy to describe Amber Rudd's comments

0:00:38 > 0:00:39on Cabinet relations.

0:00:39 > 0:00:49Theresa May is appeasing Tory Brexiteers by scrapping plans

0:00:49 > 0:00:52to remain in the customs union, according to the i.

0:00:52 > 0:00:55Meanwhile the Times says a Cabinet compromise on the customs union,

0:00:55 > 0:00:56is on the cards.

0:00:56 > 0:00:58A top Bank of England official warns against post-Brexit,

0:00:59 > 0:01:02banking deregulation in the Financial Times.

0:01:02 > 0:01:06The Guardian has an exclusive on a secret fraternity of Freemasons

0:01:06 > 0:01:10which is continuing to operate in Westminster.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Lloyds becoming the first bank to ban customers from using credit

0:01:13 > 0:01:18cards to buy bitcoin, is the Telegraph's top story.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21The Express says it's time to wrap up warm,

0:01:21 > 0:01:25describing the forthcoming cold spell as a "Scandinavian freeze".

0:01:25 > 0:01:29And on the same story, the Mirror says temperatures

0:01:29 > 0:01:32are going to plummet to minus 14.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36That's the flavour of tomorrow's front pages -

0:01:36 > 0:01:40no real consensus on what the main story is, so let's see what's

0:01:40 > 0:01:44appealed to our guests this evening.

0:01:44 > 0:01:54I know you will kick us off with the eye and the woes of Theresa May.She

0:01:54 > 0:01:59is there in China saying she is not a quitter and she is her own person.

0:01:59 > 0:02:06She is increasingly not. That does make me sad because she is a female

0:02:06 > 0:02:13Prime Minister and I think she needs to be much more gutsier. As soon as

0:02:13 > 0:02:19she returns here, something happens to her. According to this paper she

0:02:19 > 0:02:24is ruling out the customs union with Europe. It is not up to us, exactly,

0:02:24 > 0:02:29because there is so much evidence. It is not up to the Brexit

0:02:29 > 0:02:35supporters either, it is up to the evidence of what will be good for us

0:02:35 > 0:02:39and what the Europeans will agree to. It seems to me that while she

0:02:39 > 0:02:46was away, the plotters were at it and gnashing us to confront them.It

0:02:46 > 0:02:50does claim to be an attempt to sue the hardliners and that is the

0:02:50 > 0:02:54balance she is trying to sort out. It is interesting because there is a

0:02:54 > 0:02:58suggestion that she is weak and she is not doing a good job. But Angela

0:02:58 > 0:03:06Merkel has yet to form a government and we're talking about the. We at

0:03:06 > 0:03:12least have a government. I know it may be dysfunctional time... Are you

0:03:12 > 0:03:17sympathetic? I think it is interesting, what is happening in

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Germany. Angela Merkel is quite a big figure but actually she is

0:03:21 > 0:03:26having a difficult time there.They are struggling. But this is within

0:03:26 > 0:03:35the party. The Tory party. Everytime you she needs to... People saying it

0:03:35 > 0:03:44will be a new Margaret Thatcher, these people are off within 30

0:03:44 > 0:03:49seconds.Is a personality or temperament? Maybe.But there are so

0:03:49 > 0:03:54many Theresa Mays that I do not recognise which one...If you look

0:03:54 > 0:04:03at the times, when you read the secret plan to end Tory turmoil on

0:04:03 > 0:04:07trade talks according to the times, they say she has a plan to divide

0:04:07 > 0:04:13and rule. There is a suggestion that she is starting to grab hold of

0:04:13 > 0:04:18this.Can you talk us through this story in the Times? It is about

0:04:18 > 0:04:23splitting up players causing her headaches.The suggestion is that

0:04:23 > 0:04:31the customs union is a huge area of concern for many politicians of all

0:04:31 > 0:04:38colours. The suggestion is that there is some kind of time limited

0:04:38 > 0:04:41extension to elements of the existing customs union that will be

0:04:41 > 0:04:48proposed. The briefing here in the Times is that there is a belief that

0:04:48 > 0:04:52this will prove to be more attractive to Michael Gove than

0:04:52 > 0:04:56Boris Johnson and it will start to break up two of the so called

0:04:56 > 0:05:03Musketeers.It is a poor plan. Those to have been at it and hating each

0:05:03 > 0:05:08other, loving each other, hating it other. I do not trust them at all.

0:05:08 > 0:05:12It is interesting. The civil service does not normally get into this

0:05:12 > 0:05:20stuff. And Lord O'Donnell, who was the head of the civil service, he

0:05:20 > 0:05:26has deuce Brexiteers of selling snake oil. The consequences matter.

0:05:26 > 0:05:33They need evidence. -- he has accused Brexiteers of selling snake

0:05:33 > 0:05:39oil. They are not going to accept that we take this softly for a

0:05:39 > 0:05:44little while. They will not buy that.Oh to be a fly on the wall for

0:05:44 > 0:05:52this two-day summit.We have a Cabinet meeting, Michel Barnier

0:05:52 > 0:05:56coming over, and the negotiations are getting hard-core.But who will

0:05:56 > 0:06:01Barnier negotiate with? Which side of the Tory party will be speaking

0:06:01 > 0:06:05with the voice of the Tory party, the government, the nation...It is

0:06:05 > 0:06:12high stake but they'd a briefing that this meeting will solve many

0:06:12 > 0:06:17disagreements. That is a high hope. And then there are 27 countries...

0:06:17 > 0:06:23Yes, they do need to sign off on the deal on the other end. It is quite a

0:06:23 > 0:06:28long process. The Guardian has a different lead. An exclusive about

0:06:28 > 0:06:35the murky world, as they may put it, of Freemasons and the relationship

0:06:35 > 0:06:39with MPs and journalists.yes. Just as we celebrate the Centenary of

0:06:39 > 0:06:46women getting the vote and a fabulous suffragette picture on the

0:06:46 > 0:06:53bottom, we have the unveiling of a men's club. Freemason orders set up

0:06:53 > 0:07:00for journalists in Parliament and MPs. It recruits MPs, peers and

0:07:00 > 0:07:04parliamentary staff and a gallery lodge that was established among the

0:07:04 > 0:07:10political press call. Apparently they are both active. I don't know

0:07:10 > 0:07:15how many people are involved but the suggestion is that they have been

0:07:15 > 0:07:20going for some time. Most people assume that this sort of stuff has

0:07:20 > 0:07:24died out.It is completely inappropriate. I have always

0:07:24 > 0:07:30objected to a lobby system. What sort of democracy has journalists

0:07:30 > 0:07:33privileged enough to be good friends of parliamentarians? That is

0:07:33 > 0:07:37something that I think should have changed a long time ago. When I

0:07:37 > 0:07:40first began writing for the independent they refused to join the

0:07:40 > 0:07:44lobby. In the end... It is powerful. There is no other way to access

0:07:44 > 0:07:48information. They had dinners with each other and then they pretend

0:07:48 > 0:07:55this great distance. Now we find that for some of them they are bound

0:07:55 > 0:08:01with ritual and secrecy and all kinds of weird things.These reviews

0:08:01 > 0:08:05would be very dull as we did not get these snippets every now and then.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10We only get this detail because of the gossip.We should start a female

0:08:10 > 0:08:16Freemason group.The lobby now have fantastic representation of women.

0:08:16 > 0:08:20Of maybe the women don't want to be a part of this circle. Maybe they

0:08:20 > 0:08:25don't want funny rituals and a secret handshake.The feeling is

0:08:25 > 0:08:32that the lack of transparency is definitely problematic.Winnie

0:08:32 > 0:08:41Gassman to go in undercover. We could get a TV series. -- were need

0:08:41 > 0:08:49Yasmin to go in undercover.One of the smaller stories at the bottom

0:08:49 > 0:08:55here, the NHS and record numbers of dying of malnutrition.This story is

0:08:55 > 0:08:59kind of... There is half the story essentially on the front page and we

0:08:59 > 0:09:05don't know the full details of what the numbers allude to however 351

0:09:05 > 0:09:09patients with malnutrition listed on the death certificate in 2016 which

0:09:09 > 0:09:13is rather frightening. It sounds like quite a large number. Looking

0:09:13 > 0:09:18at it, what we do not know is what that means. There is a suggestion in

0:09:18 > 0:09:22the story that people are already arriving in hospital with nutrition

0:09:22 > 0:09:29issues. My mother was in hospital last year for five months and she

0:09:29 > 0:09:33must have done that menu round and round on the loop. She lost nearly

0:09:33 > 0:09:38five stone while she was there. It is a challenge for people to eat.

0:09:38 > 0:09:43And as families become more desperate unique visitors to come in

0:09:43 > 0:09:48and help encourage people to eat because nurses do not have the time.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52This suggests that more should be done to ensure vulnerable and

0:09:52 > 0:09:59elderly patients receive help. But who have time?There are a lot of

0:09:59 > 0:10:05young retired people, young in body and spirit, I am sure that would

0:10:05 > 0:10:11help if they set up a group. It does take time. I went to see my hospital

0:10:11 > 0:10:15-- sister in hospital today and she had not eaten nothing. I tried to

0:10:15 > 0:10:19get her to eat. I did not hang around for a long time because I

0:10:19 > 0:10:25couldn't. And then I went away feeling terrible. If I had stayed,

0:10:25 > 0:10:31maybe she would have eaten. She had just decided she would not eat.And

0:10:31 > 0:10:35in all fairness to the NHS, they have invested heavily in improving

0:10:35 > 0:10:39menus. On the whole it is not actually the food that is the issue,

0:10:39 > 0:10:44it is more about the patient and the experience in there.Many elderly

0:10:44 > 0:10:50people decide that that is the way they can hasten the end.They make a

0:10:50 > 0:10:54conscious decision. An interesting thought there. Stand now with

0:10:54 > 0:11:00health, men still dying of embarrassment in the Daily Mail.

0:11:00 > 0:11:05This is prostate cancer. An important story. The Daily Mail are

0:11:05 > 0:11:10adopting a campaign on this. Essentially, they say that men are

0:11:10 > 0:11:14still dying of embarrassment and the idea is that they are to a Barrass

0:11:14 > 0:11:17to visit a doctor with prostate cancer symptoms. There was a story

0:11:17 > 0:11:25last week was saying that prostate cancer has become a bigger killer

0:11:25 > 0:11:32now than breast cancer. This story of talks about people from the

0:11:32 > 0:11:37sector explaining that now there is half the funding and half the

0:11:37 > 0:11:44research that goes into this cancer and yet it is such a big killer. We

0:11:44 > 0:11:48have almost seen breast cancer take off with lots of events and themed

0:11:48 > 0:11:55months and that sort of thing but men have symptoms that can often be

0:11:55 > 0:11:58sensitive things they do not want to talk about. Women will go down to

0:11:58 > 0:12:02the pub or be in a gym and talk about a lump they found. Someone

0:12:02 > 0:12:07will tell them what to do, men are not necessarily going to talk about

0:12:07 > 0:12:13some of the symptoms involving prostate cancer.I am pleased that

0:12:13 > 0:12:17the Daily Mail is doing this campaign because campaigning has

0:12:17 > 0:12:22been at a very. You see posters of famous men saying going get yourself

0:12:22 > 0:12:28checked out. Actually, what has been great about the women, and maybe men

0:12:28 > 0:12:33should learn from this, is that they make these campaigns at exciting,

0:12:33 > 0:12:38interesting and shame free. It can be done. Many young men need to

0:12:38 > 0:12:42start...Yes. From the younger generation.We should do

0:12:42 > 0:12:47comparisons. The women got all the resources, that kind of talk is

0:12:47 > 0:12:52happening a lot on Twitter at the moment. We are all human.It is not

0:12:52 > 0:12:57a competition. The housewives favourite paper, the Daily Mail,

0:12:57 > 0:13:01this is about talking to women and telling them they need to remind the

0:13:01 > 0:13:06men in their life but this is something going on. You need to go

0:13:06 > 0:13:10to the toilet three times in the last couple of days, are you sure

0:13:10 > 0:13:20something is right? This is where women will play a major part of.And

0:13:20 > 0:13:23Yasmin, the Daily Express talking about a killer phrase lasting ten

0:13:23 > 0:13:28days. Scary weather on the way. We will be inconvenienced.I think

0:13:28 > 0:13:37there are so many people who will be at risk now. The homeless, who we

0:13:37 > 0:13:40see all around London and there has been a phenomenal increase in

0:13:40 > 0:13:46Manchester and in Edinburgh and all sorts of cities. I don't know how

0:13:46 > 0:13:51many of them will die. Just simply die of the cold. You can not survive

0:13:51 > 0:13:59these temperatures all-night. Then there is also, as said earlier poor

0:13:59 > 0:14:03families cannot afford to heat their homes. They could not even hit the

0:14:03 > 0:14:06kettle too many times to fill a hot water bottle. Young asthmatic

0:14:06 > 0:14:14children... I think we should really be collating information on those

0:14:14 > 0:14:18who are not getting adequate heating.I must say, as a parent of

0:14:18 > 0:14:23the younger child, I must say that sometimes, however, these cold snaps

0:14:23 > 0:14:27can be helpful because they can kill off many bugs, many viruses and

0:14:27 > 0:14:36things that appear in mild weather. One of my sons classes this week had

0:14:36 > 0:14:42six or seven children of. It is a prime virus time of year. I'm about

0:14:42 > 0:14:46to go to Norway next week so it least I have the codes for it.There

0:14:46 > 0:14:57we are. Will -- whether you end -- like it or not we end with the cold

0:14:57 > 0:15:03weather. Remember you can see it all seven days a week on the BBC

0:15:03 > 0:15:07website. If you missed the programme you can watch that later on BBC

0:15:07 > 0:15:15iPlayer a. Thank you to my guess is, thank you -- thank you to my guess

0:15:15 > 0:15:20tos, thank you for joining us.
